Which is a most odd thing to say considering that Arabs are ALSO Semites & that Paul is not even against the existence of Israel & presuming that everyone in Israel is a Semite.

Nice word mincing. I'll play.

Ron Paul is an anti-Zionist. The Zionist Entity is our ally. Their form of government is most like ours, and represents the best hope for the world in general, and the Middle East in specific. Abandoning them to 8th century theocrats and local tinhorn dictators is not in our best long term interest, even if it would defuse some short term regional problems.

We do need libertarian domestic politics to reverse the bankrupting of America, but we should not abandon our fellow outposts of civilization out of naked expediency. We've already erred too far in our global reach. We don't need to compensate by going equally overboard in global retreat.

In Ron Paul and Rand Paul we see a revival of the Old Right - anti-Semitic (to some people, anti-Zionist Entity), isolationist, sympathetic to fascist regimes, state’s rights even when the state violates the civil rights of some citizens, and anti-Federalist with longings for a kinder, gentler version of the old Confederacy.

A good litmus test is to ask one of these super-patriots what he thinks of Abraham Lincoln, whether we should have fought the Nazis, and whether there was a need for civil rights legislation. If you ask about Israel, you may be treated to a diatribe about how we can’t hear the “truth” about Zionism because “those people” control everything. There are some people who are at least partly fascist but they try to hide it with libertarian slogans. There are good people who are libertarians, there are others who might have some libertarian ideas in economics but who have a toxic brew of really bad ideas in other areas.
