Syria's probably dying for us to intervene after seeing Iraq and Afghanistan flourish, don't you think?

Can you believe some people still take this guy seriously?

This guy wants us NOT to go into Syria, but he does want to end the war on drugs! He'd probably have us praying to Allah, and have kids who smoke marijuana free on the streets!!!   Here's a topper, he wants the Federal Reserve Bank transactions to be transparent.  I mean, c'mon, Bernanke and those guys are the only ones on the planet who can possibly understand finance at that high a level.  Donald Rumsfeld proved this when he said the US Treasury had misplaced $2+ Trillion, on September 10, 2001.  The Fed would NEVER have lost track of that money.  So, we should be grateful to the Fed, who has wisely kept interest rates close to zero for so long, we can't remember what it was like to earn interest on our savings.  This has made us more creative, stronger people.  It's also made it possible for JP Morgan to get near free money to bet on high risk derivatives.  We can't expect these geniuses to be perfect.  Isn't it enough that they are kind enough to put a bank on every corner for us?  Those of us lucky enough to have a job and a house with room in our basements where our grown children can raise their families, should also be grateful to the Fed for doing a fine job with the economy.
