As if we needed anymore proof of Ron Paul’s anti-American treachery — and no, I am not speaking of his inclusion in the Democrats’ list of favorite Republicans (though it’s also quite telling), — he’s finally waded into the Ground Zero mosque controversy where — unsurprisingly — he’s chalked it all up to yet another conspiracy theory, fomented by those war-lovin’ neo-cons:
“I think it’s a big distraction, a grand distraction from the real issues… To me it should have been a grand opportunity, and you really touched on the opportunity, because it’s really a property rights issue, and who owns the property? And it’s also a civil liberties issue. It’s a freedom of speech issue… Property rights and civil rights are one and the same… drives the neo-cons nuts… I don’t believe for a minute that the, quote, religion of Islam is our enemy.”
Really, Ron? And I suppose Al-Qaeda is just a CIA fantasy, too?
For the record, the majority of Americans and politicians who oppose the mosque fully understand the constitutional right to build it. Then again, most of us also understand that Islam is a strident political ideology wrapped up in the cloak of religion, and that jihadists committed an act of war against the United States on September 11, 2001 — not the United States government — all in the name of Islam. Further, understanding the history of Cordoba, we are cognizant of the fact that such a mosque is nothing short of a monument to their bloody victory over the “Great Satan” and 3,000 of its citizens on 9/11.
I know its tough for you libertarians — much like your foreign policy kindred spirits, liberals — to place a moral judgment on anything, but out of respect for 9/11′s grieving families, it would be nice if you’d grant them some deference on this emotionally supercharged, morally reprehensible issue. It would also be refreshing if you’d actually give your country the benefit of the doubt, instead of blaming it for the existence of a so-called religion that preaches death to infidels, practices pedophilia, commits unspeakable crimes against women, and actively engages in a worldwide, genocidal movement with the ultimate goal of imposing a worldwide Muslim Caliphate.
In short, since you’re so fond of conspiracy theories, maybe you can believe in one that’s actually true: Global Jihad. Then temper your constitutional remarks about the Ground Zero mosque with some intelligence and real compassion for your own countrymen — especially those who lost everything on 9/11.
Mega-dittos.
Yes, RP is the crazy uncle in the attic. We have some excellent conservatives in Texas (my Rep., John Culberson is one of them) but we get some loons that slip through the cracks like Ron Paul and Sheila Jackson-Lee.
I’ve heard Jeff Ward brag about RP before.
I can’t decide about Jeff Ward. I listen to him if I happen to be in the car when he’s on. He comes across as a very sarcastic bastid sometimes—and then again, he makes good sense sometimes.
Yesteday he had his “bash Palin” hat on again. He hates her and all women with a passion if you ask me.
I agree with separation. I think civilization should separate itself from Islam with about six feet of Earth — and that’s what Moslems want too. It’s just a matter of whose walking around on top when it’s done.
Wow, it was in “my comments” when I logged on.
Bin Laden declared war on us. If you want to go to war with all Muslims, the body bags alone will bust the budget.
Well—I sure hope he doesn’t hate all women—he is a gynecologist by trade, after all.
I didn’t know that he was a gynecologist.
See if you can get to the thread link below and try to reply to any poster. Every time I click on the reply button, it goes to the top of the thread.

And allowing cut and run’s mooslime allies to do whatever they want whenever they want and still blame America will destroy our country.
Goodness itself, doing the morally right thing. Which is not possible absent the ability to make free choices.
The Islam Nazis has been at war with the rest of world since the beginning of Islam....
I guess View from the Right in on the bad list here.
Basil is referring to RP as a gyno, not Jeff Ward. Jeff Ward is a has-been UT football player who pretends to be a libertarian. Thank god for my smartphone. I can listen to Mark Levin on my drive home without having to tune into liberal local shows like the Jeff Ward show.
Oh, I forgot about that. If any other station carried the traffic reports better, I would not listen to Jeff on the way home.
I dont think Dr. Paul is really supportive of islam. He is a devout Christian who works on Christian principles and realizes America is a Christian nation first and foremost. I think he only says this b/c he wants to win over muslim voters and wants America’s attention back on ending the FED.
The horror is that we have allowed the muzzies to invade and colonize America.
There’s no such thing as a moderate muslim. Islam is a violent political ideology with its own set of laws and court system. Religion is only one component used to impose islam on non muslim societies. Islam is anathema to the U.S. Constitution. The two cannot co-exist in the U.S.
THE FOUNDER OF CAIR HAS TOLD US PLAINLY OF ISLAM’S OBJECTIVE IN AMERICA:
“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.” OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR,the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.
Answer the man’s question. Do you believe Islam is the enemy- yes or no.
