I resent the term “Paultard”

Well, we could call you a smacktard if you prefer. Or even just plain old retard.

But hey, you're zotted, so I'll never know which you like best.

[Arrowhead1952]

You know, this site is becoming nothing more than groupthink.

Nope ~ the "problem" wasn't caused AFTER WWI.

Reviewing the history of the Middle East it's pretty obvious that when the Arabs who ran Baghdad murdered the emissaries sent to the city by the Mongols, that pretty much set the course of things for that part of the world for the next 600 worlds.

The Mongols were decent chaps but they only wanted to re-establish trade and had a short fuse. They had been very busy re-opening the Silk Road and the trade routes to India in the South and people who got in their way and raised the costs were expendable.

Eventually the Middle East fell completely under the control of the Turks who'd earlier taken over Anatolia and much of the Byzantine Empire.

Their ruling cadre, called "The Sublime Porte", made a mistake in the early 1900s and allied themselves with the Kaiser's Germany.

Post WWI all that was going on was the restructuring of the former Turkish Tax Farm called "the Arabic Speaking parts of the Ottoman Empire".

Among other things the Allied Powers (the "winners") decided through their League of Nations (which we didn't joing) was to reconfigure the Palestine Sector as a Jewish Homeland much as it had been back in the Second Century.

The Arabs at that time were lucky to no longer be Turkish slaves ~ today they may be fairly seen as "ingrates".

Ron Paul brilliantly articulating the failed strageties of the past

That's a joke in itself. And so are you. Now for the fun...

Serious question: Did I miss a FR policy announcement regarding Ron Paul supporters, similar to the one on Romney supporters?

I don't set policy on FR.

But I personally find Ron Paul's Code Pink, blame-America stance repulsive. IMO, he's even more leftist than Romney and that's pretty bad.

I do remember Jim saying a few years back that Ron Paul and his anti-war spam monkeys could kiss his ass and I agree with that.

But for the actual policy on Paultards, you might want to ask Jim.

[Lazlo in PA]

I don’t know of any formal policy regarding an anti Paul movement on FR. You will have to ask the management. As far as I see, there are a ton of Paul supporters floating around here.

I have no problem debating with Paulites here on how genuinely dishonest Paul is on many of the issues he is heralded about i.e.; earmarks. Personally I do not know why a straight up Libertarian, openly talking about a 3rd party run, is allowed to use the GOP Primary apparatus to promote his ideas. If he had any honesty and integrity, he would do as Gary Johnson and run under his true banner in their party.
