Sarah Palin's Views Versus Ron Paul's
Here is an article by Palin that critiques President Obama's SOTU Address from last Wednesday. From reading it, you can basically discern her view of things. To me, they sound very similar to Dr. Paul's. The only difference might be on her ideas of foreign policy. Please read the statement below and comment on it. What, if anything, is wrong with her view on foreign policy as stated here?
"Despite speaking for over an hour, the president only spent 10% of his speech on foreign policy, and he left us with many unanswered questions. Does he still think trying the 9/11 terrorists in New York is a good idea? Does he still think closing Gitmo is a good idea? Does he still believe in Mirandizing terrorists after the Christmas bomber fiasco? Does he believe we’re in a war against terrorists, or does he think this is just a global crime spree? Does he understand that the first priority of our government is to keep our country safe?"
"The first priority"
I don't like her view on the role of the government. A government big enough to "keep you safe" is also big enough to take away your safety.
