The Beagle has landed.

I'm now back on the [relatively] safe streets of the good ol' US of A.

No phone or car or anything yet. I'll keep y'all posted. smile

So yeah, Ron Paul, racist. He certainly did say some fucked up things a while back, but I still can't help but love his foreign policy. love

I don't much care for the fact that he's Republican, but if there were a democrat running with his ideas for the country (instead of his personal beliefs), I'd vote for said democrat.

My whole view on the United...

i can't support ron paul, but i thought this entry was very informative. i always like hearing your take on the war and our place in the world

thanks kiddo! smile

I appreciate your clear thoughts on these issues. I would also prefer a more moderate approach to foreign policy- I'm not in favor of total isolationism, but the way it is now is clearly insane.

Personally I cannot support any candidate who would leave it to the states to decide things that have to do with human rights, which abortion does. Individual states have proven time and time again that they will make the wrong decisions if the are allowed to decide what rights humans have. We need a national policy on abortion and right now that is what we have, just as we needed a national policy on segregation to be sure that one state or another wouldn't create a subclass of citizens. When Ron Paul says he will leave it up to the states, he is saying that abortion will be criminalized, because many states are already trying to criminalize it.

"States' Rights" is often code for "I want to let you have whatever sexist, racist policies you like because I will agree to anything to get your vote."

So a buddy gave me a book on Ron Paul and now I think his clan has found another acolyte. I haven't voted in a Presidential election since voting for Perot in '96, but I think I've found my motivation.

Hope all's well. I'm down to about 17 days! biggrin

So this Southern boy is fucking his sister, right? And she says "Wow! You're better at...

I've been a turrble SG friend while deployed. SG (moreso than any other site I've visited, 'cept maybe gmail) really seems to hate slower-than-dialup internet.

I can't says that I blame SG. I hate this internet too, but doing anything here (or in gmail) is more of a time consuming chore than actually fun.

For anyone who has kept me in their friends' list this...

I've been going to the gym religiously for the past 8 weeks. It helps me take my mind off things, plus with 30 right around the corner, I'm pulling out all the stops in an effort to get my abs to reveal themselves.

It's really paying off! I'm losing fat like a mofo and I feel great. If you were to ask me right now,...

Marines lol



On the downside, the battalion I'm assigned to just had its first soldier get shot. We've been here 13 months (this is the month we were originally supposed to go home) and someone gets sniped in the head.

They say he'll live (critical, but stable), but still. We had one of the quietest (if not THE quietest) neighborhoods in Baghdad to patrol. Now...
