re: Dinesh D'Souza vs. Ron Paul

D'Souza claims the "founding fathers" believed in imperialistic wars of conquest in the name of "democracy" or some other fine-sounding words. This of course is complete nonsense, the kind of B.S. one would be fed at a Claremont Institute seminar or at AEI. (And the Hoover Institution, where D'Souza is employed).

D'Souza obviously believes that Woodrow Wilson was a "founding father" since "making the world safe for democracy" was Wilson's disastrous foreign policy. Wilsonianism is the farthest thing from libertarianism, Dinesh, and would have caused the founders to draw their swords and fight another revolution -- this time against the neocons who have kidnapped and perverted their government and their country.
