A Reason to vote for Ron Paul...

[Autolycus]

For everyone who is against Ron Paul do to his views on the war in Iraq I have an idea.

Ron Paul supports letter's of marque. And everyone who wants us to fight in Iraq and maintain a US presence can get one. Then the can go to Iraq and fight for themselves while the rest of us who are not concerned with Iraq could go and fight.

Just a thought. This way nobody has to be a terrorist sympathiser and we could send all the Chicken-Hawks to fight the war they so desperately want to fight.

For the ignorant (like me), what is a "letter of marque"?

 

[R127]

Letters of marque have been around for a very long time. It is similar to a bountyhunter or privateer.

Privateer= Legal pirate
In naval term, it allowed one to attack enemy flagged ships to recover a loss.

Then the can go to Iraq and fight for themselves while the rest of us who are not concerned with Iraq could go and fight.

Help me out. Wouldn't that mean everyone goes and fights?

Marshall

Well, yes, worded like that, I do believe you're right.

Everybody fights.

I think I know what you are getting at but maybe you could clarify.

Sorry, but these unending Ron Payul threads are calling to mind the old junior highschool "bit": "I was born in a record shop, but that didn't affect me, affect me, affect me..."

Enough of this particular broken record. I don't care who's El Prez Supremo, letters of marque ain't gonna happen.

And that's OT anyway.
