Scary times ahead? Perhaps, if you take credence in what Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, says.
Paul, who had a strong grassroots following during the 2008 presidential election, explained on Glenn Beck's Sept. 30 radio program that perilous times lie ahead due to the Federal Reserve's loose monetary policy. Host Glenn Beck asked if voices on the left, including the left-wing media, were right - would their be violence and is this an effort to pin it on the conservative movement.
Beck began by asking how an Israeli strike against Iran might trigger problems with the American financial system.

Of course it’s vintage anti semitic Paul
I suppose that an Iranian nuke on the US, Europe or Israel would have no effect at all...
Disagree with what he says so call him an “anti-semite”. Kind of like when Dems call an Obama critic a “racist”.
He and Jimmy Carter are quacks.
How many votes? Oh, right...
Ron Paul Rocks!
Agree. I have never heard him say anything anti-semetic. He has said no foreign for ANY country. America first.
There is a musl** in the White Hut. The U.S. is not going to do anything against Islam or productive for now and maybe in the future.
The commander in Afghianistan is ignored and troops there cannot shoot back. The world changed last November.
I don’t know much about Ron Paul, but I do know he was absolutely correct in his dire warnings regarding the US economy. Dead on.
I call myself a conservative.
And I will call Ron Turd and all of his supporters what they truly are:
RETARDED NAZIS.
Well I hate say this, but the American First movement died when Japan bomber Pearl Harbor. Ron Paul is a nut when it comes to Foreign Policy..
Tell us more, Dr. Paul.
so what will happen is that israel will have to strike Iran and it will be very difficult for the US....totally avoidable if the US took care of this problem itself.
George HW Bush turned his back on Israel...and he was the one who actually raised taxes.
“Tell us more, Dr. Paul.”
wait...he’s still looking up Rothbard’s books to see if he has any answers.
Calling someone a Nazi when they are not even close makes you look like a fool.
Ron Paul —— oh yeah that guy who just loves Lew Rockwell Jr. Yeah I trust him for all my info
Actually, Reagan raised taxes too.
Fine. An Anti-Semite, which I'll remember when the next time one of the Ron Turd brethren shoots up a Holocaust Museum.
My neighbors and I talk about it all the time. We've already established defensive parameters in this neighborhood.
You say this is kooky-stuff? Maybe...just don't forget that we're in kooky-times too.
Every time I warm to Ron Paul over his libertarian musings, he brings up Israel yet again. What is his obsession with hating on the Jooos? I just don’t get it. Is he of Arab descent? Married to one? Gets money from the Saudis? Why?
Obama is in charge now. The ball is in Israel’s court. I guess the 78% of liberal American Jews failed to think about it last Nov along with 50+% Catholics and others. I doubt they even care about Israel. They voted for a Muslim.
He is not paying attention to Afghanistan let alone Iran. The ball is in Israel’s court now.
Not always. In 1982, Reagan was swayed by James Baker by a photo of a dead Druze baby in Lebanon that Reagan was told was a Palestinian baby killed by an Israeli mortar. In fact the baby was killed by Palestinians. Reagan didn't find this out until later. Meanwhile he called up Menachem Begin and ordered him to stop the Lebanon operation against the PLO. Then the entire PLO leadership fled to Tunisia on a cruise ship. Israel could have ended the PLO once and for all. But Reagan stopped them. Reagan also gave in to Casper Weinberger who disobeyed Reagan's order to retaliate against Hizbollah after they murdered 241 Marines in Beirut. Weinberger simply canceled the order, citing technical problems. He got away with it, Reagan never ordered another attack, and we fled Lebanon. This was a critical error.
I would endorse Dr. Paul for SecTreas in a heartbeat, but never for anything connected with foreign policy.
He may be right with this forecast, but if he is then I think America's going to just have to suck it up. It's our own fault (not only Obama's but also Bush's) for wimping out on Iran and leaving it up to Bibi to do the heavy lifting.
Some of you may be right about Ron Paul’s view of Israel. However one thing is right...........if Iran is attacked, the cost of oil while skyrocket. And in this current economy...... on the edge of a cliff, the dollar will indeed collapse. Oh and IMHO, Iran should be made into a parking lot......as soon as possible.
And look who L. Ron Paul’s friend is
Congressman Alan Grayson
Not only is Alan Grayson a Left Wing loon
and proudly calls himself a Progressive but,
Grayson has teamed up with another loon, Ron Paul
with his Fed bill and associated with the fascist
Alex Jones.
A few sites for Ron Paul I checked out has comments from Pauls lemmings supporting Alan Grayson, the Progressive
and his hate filled rant
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Ron Paul never met a Nazi he didn’t like.
Who are YOU, noob?
Even Michele Bachmann, "the woman who makes Sarah Palin look liberal."
It's not clear to me what your point is. Like montag, I don't think we should have sent them in to protect Arafat in the first place. Peacekeepers where there is no peace, a receipe for disaster.
Beggin’ yer pardon, but don’t we ALREADY have problems with the American financial system?
I am just sick of this. If Israel strikes, money will be affected? If IRAN strikes, the whole world could go up in flames.
In case anyone here forgets, the US is sitting on more oil in Colorado than exists in all of saudi arabia. That’s ONE state. We are heavy with oil. We could probably fill all of our swimming pools with the oil from one well off the coast of California.
This attitude, that somehow if the price of oil goes up and destroys the world economy it’s all Israel’s fault is insane. Stupid green/greedy politics, insane envirowhackos, and a lie about global warming is the reason an evil empire can gouge the world finacially for oil, not Israel.
And if Iran gets a nuke, don’t think for a minute they won’t use it to hit saudi arabia, because THAT gives them the Caliphate which they want worse than they want to destroy Israel.
Will Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney, Pat Buchanan, International ANSWER, Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Code Pink, Obama, Gnome Chomsky and Cindy Sheehan be forming their own third party??

What a motley crew. Ugh.
Very interesting post. James Baker is pretty low. You have a citation for that baby incident?
A reductio ad Hitlerum argument can be seen as an example of a “guilt by association” fallacy, since it attacks a viewpoint simply because it was supposedly espoused by Adolf Hitler, as if it is impossible that such a man could have held any viewpoint that is correct.
You just lost the argument. Calling someone a Nazi is a sure way to prove that your argument is weak. Thanks.
When someone published anti-semetic articles like Paul and consitently takes anti-Isrel positions, the shoe fits, sorry.
Paul is that absurd.
“Then the entire PLO leadership fled to Tunisia on a cruise ship. “
iirc, a few years later rabin and peres BROUGHT THEM BACK.
Exactly right. Tragic. Imagine if Israel had just blown up that ship with EVERYONE on it.
“...miss an opportunity...”
= peres /rabin going native...
