Ron Paul on Empire Building (Thank You Dallas Morning News)

The Dallas Morning News has posted a good article by Todd J. Gillman, reporting on Ron Paul’s well attended forum that was held this Tuesday at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

Here is a quotation taken from the article, in which Paul describes, in brief, his stance on American empire building:

“My contention is that empire-building is not American, it’s not constitutional, it’s not moral, it costs us too much money, it costs us lives, it hurts our national defense, it ruins our national security, and ultimately it undermines our personal liberties at home because of the atmosphere that we create,” he said, hardly taking a breath. “We pass all these laws where we have military dictatorship declared here to get rid of habeas corpus, have warrantless searches, have national ID cards and everybody’s there begging for more safety from the government because they might attack again.”

Hmmm . . . sounds like a few news channels we know of . . .
