Yes, they are saying nothing new, in that the LP has been calling for us to
have less entanglements and less alliances, and less meddling in the
internal affairs of other countries.
Yes, they are saying nothing new, in that they have been concerned about
loss of civil liberties and have been pointing out that government uses
crisis as an excuse to gather more power (I heard some FBI low level folks
saying that if they had better wiretapping that maybe they could have...
which is nonsense).
But that's DIFFERENT than what other parties are saying and if you think
it's not "displaying any great intelligence" that's fine, I suppose.
EVERYTHING said in that statement is something the LP has been saying for a
long time. Are you saying you disagree? Do you think we need more alliances?
Do you think we need less people volunteering? Do you think we should give
up our fundamental freedoms? Do you think we should respond in a way that
kills more innocents than necessary? Alternatively, do you think that we
should not respond at all?
What part(s) of that statement do you disagree with, then?

In what way? Is it pandering to repeat your principles and show how they
apply and show how they derive a correct course of action? I'm confused here.

| (...) Larry, give me a break. You're much more intelligent that you are trying to act here. The LP is taking political advantage of the current crises to promote themselves. If that's not pandering, then I don't know what is. (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
