RAND PAUL: IT'S AMERICA'S FAULT

In a week that saw two jihadist attacks in Canada and one in New York, one would expect a trenchant and forthright handling of the threat that has shaped our age. Instead Paul gave us this:

The world does not have an Islam problem, the world has a dignity problem, with millions of men and women across the Middle East being treated as chattel by their own governments.

Sorry? A dignity problem? Who denied Osama bin Laden or Major Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, their dignity? Perhaps the Boston bombers were denied their dignity, but not because they lived in a Middle Eastern nation where the government treated them as property. On the contrary, if their dignity was undermined it was in the form of the Massachusetts state subsidies they received without having to earn them (something the younger Tsarnaev actually boasted about on social media).

So where could this newfound concern for the downtrodden of the world come from for Senator Paul? In truth, the old Rand Paul is lurking just beneath the surface, as this line reveals: "Many of these same governments have been chronic recipients of our aid." So, Islam is not to blame for jihadi terrorism. America is, because we support unjust regimes.

The fact that Paul uses this argument is not only disturbing in that it negates the responsibility of the jihadists - it's their governments, and America that keeps them in power - but also because this is the fallacious reasoning behind the Obama's administration's counterterrorism strategy.

Senator Paul is not only channeling Chomsky with this speech, he has also reinforced the White House line that ideology is irrelevant in this war and that terrorism is understandably a result of the oppression of Muslims around the word.

Of course he’s right. If we didn’t build the WTC then there would have been no reason to fly planes into them ....(his logic, not mine)

It's been said that Ron Paul is 85% solid constitutional conservative and 15% bat-ass crazy. It's that 15% that kept him relatively insignificant. It might have a lower degree with Rand but it's the same problem.

Ronulans

[BeadCounter]

Paul is squandering good will he has accumulated with silliness like this.

[RaceBannon]

Ron Paul is to the Constitution what Fred Phelps was to the Bible...

The author twists Paul’s words.

Muslim: We hate America because it supports tyrannical regimes in the Middle East.

USA: Ok, we'll impose economic sanctions on those tyrannical regimes to try to get them to change.

Muslim: Your economic sanctions are killing our children and creating hardships for the people.

USA: Ok, we'll remove the sanctions and take military action to remove those tyrannical regimes and give you a chance for self-government.

Muslim: Your military actions disrespect us by assuming we need your help to solve our own problems. Moreover, they make matters worse.

USA: Ok, we'll withdraw our troops.

Muslim: The sectarian chaos that ensued after you withdrew your troops is your fault. We need you to return some of the troops to help fix this problem.

And so it goes.

STICK IT Rand! The sun don’t shine on those part I’d expect you to STICK IT!!!

Paul is sounding like a typical acolyte of Noam Chomsky. Leftists want it both ways...third world denizens are just as intelligent as westerners. But then they say third worlders are helpless pawns of western imperialism.

The truth: the third world is largely composed of billions of not very intelligent people with a bent for violence. Some are held hostage by their government...like in the case of the Chinese under Mao.

But many millions of third worlders are just losers. They'd be losers under any kind of government. Just like we have perpetually whining losers in the freest country in the world, the third is the third world because of the preponderance of born losers.

I used to think no one could be any nuttier than Ron Paul.

Now I know better.

Truly, the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree

Muslim: We hate America because it supports tyrannical regimes in the Middle East.

USA/Clinton: Ok, we'll impose economic sanctions on those tyrannical regimes to try to get them to change.

Muslim: Your economic sanctions are killing our children and creating hardships for the people.

USA/Bush: Ok, we'll remove the sanctions and take military action to remove those tyrannical regimes and give you a chance for self-government.

Muslim: Your military actions disrespect us by assuming we need your help to solve our own problems. Moreover, they make matters worse.

USA/Obama: Ok, we'll withdraw our troops.

Muslim: The sectarian chaos that ensued after you withdrew your troops is your fault. We need you to return some of the troops to help fix this problem.

And so it goes. (Tweaked my previous post.)
