Good Lord that was one hell of an anti Ron Paul screed. Paul is NOT “dangerous”! Certainly he is not more dangerous than Obama or just about any of the other candidates running. His concept [ as you call it ] of defense is based on the Founding Fathers who advised AGAINST entangling alliances & going to war on false pretenses. Paul does not like these un-Constitutional wars which were never declared in Congress as the executive branch has USURPED the role of Congress.
Advising against going to war willy nilly on FALSE pretenses is not “making excuses for terrorists”! He advocates dealing with the threat along Constitutional lines ie: going before Congress & holding a vote. No Paul does not want Iran to have a nuke - but he recognizes their right to produce nuclear energy just as we did when the Shah was in control. “Sworn enemies”?! Isn’t that a little over dramatic & somewhat out of central casting? America is not supposed to have “sworn enemies” as we are not supposed to be taking sides in other peoples wars. I did not realize tat America was involved in some Tolkienesque blood libel feud with some ancient enemy - I thought we were supposed to be a neutral or friendly force in the world.
No. Citing the reasons that some use in their reaction to the American regime is not “blaming America for 9/11”. Good lord you are full of mendacious sloganeering. Paul was simply pointing out the action of the American regime [ which is not the American people ] leads to what the CIA itself calls “blowback” as the American regime knows full well that their actions in foreign lands can stir trouble & be used as fuel for creating terrorists. The American people are not to blame at all. Further the American people are often similarly repressed by same regime as expressed recently with the recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act which has the potential to be used against ordinary American citizens.
You are deliberately misrepresenting the earmarks because he puts them in so as to call attention to government spending because if they were not in then no one would know how the government is spending the money! The point of the earmarks is to TRACK the money government spends. If it were up to Paul he would oppose all this pork barrel nonsense but without earmarks: no one would know the exact amount that the government is spending.
He has sponsored bills in Congress to audit & ultimately end the Federal Reserve: the cause of the financial disaster America is facing.
Actually polls show that Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that can beat Obama. The others simply have too much baggage attacked to them thus they have no chance.
Paul is not antisemitic for calling for a cut in foreign spending as he is opposed to ALL foreign spending not just against money for Israel. Furthermore: the Palestinians are Semites too so the “antisemitic” attack is a canard on more than one front.
No. Paul supports the right to protest. But he actually does not support the ideology or agenda of most of the OWS protesters as he is a firm believer & long time proponent of free market Capitalism.
You final point is most odd & comical because you promoted virtually every lie & distortion about Ron Paul there is & then had the nerve to assert that he is not what I think he is when it it YOU who clearly do not his true record. A record you went out of your way to distort.
You paint Ron Paul in a most unfaltering & dubious reflection that even his worst enemy would not recognize. All he wants is to return to the Constitution & to restore the republic.
That essentially means [ among other things ] stopping the wars we can no longer afford & to stop meddling into other people’s business & to abolish the Federal Reserve & to abolish at least five parasitic government agencies which simply gobble up tax payers money while doing nothing or getting in the way of the citizen.
The only thing [ lie ] you forgot to mention was that he “is a far Right Wing racist who likes to hobnob with Stormfront” LOL! Another distortion of course aimed at calumniating his image as he has more integrity than most other politicians out there & is consistent.
People who are delusional are dangerous.
Really the trying to compare Paul to the founding fathers is idiotic. Have you ever heard of Tripoli?
He makes excuses for terrorist all the time. “If we were only nice to them”, Or “Iran didn’t really mean they wanted all Jews dead”.
Yep, he just blamed the US this morning, happening nearly everyday now.
Sorry did you see the links to his earmarks? Listen he loads bills up that he knows will pass, then votes against them. I will give him credit for trying to be clever.
He is not who you think he is. You apparently are projection who you think he is.
Look at his decades of his words (written and spoken), his votes, his supporters.
Oh, and the constitutional issues, if Paul understood defense you might have a point. He doesn’t.
When asked about Occupy Wall Street, he said it was unfair to dismiss the concerns that are being expressed by the protesters.
