[Peace-discuss] crazy, like ron paul (& patsy cline)

[E.Wayne Johnson]

If one wants to argue that Ron Paul and others like him hold specific views that are crazy, that's certainly reasonable.  But those who make that claim virtually always hold views at least as crazy, and devote themselves to one of the two political parties that has, over and over, embraced insane, destructive and warped policies of their own.  The reason the U.S. is in the shape it's in isn't because Ron Paul and the rest of the so-called "crazies" have been in charge; they haven't been, at all.  The policies that have prevailed are the ones which the two parties have endorsed.  So where does the real craziness lie?
