Most here on FR wont even listen to anything positive about RP. They hate him because they’ve drank the neocon cool-aid and don’t even realize it. I voted for him in the last primary.

There are two unwritten rules here.

1. You can’t like RP.
2. You can’t ever say anything bad about Israel.

I don’t hate RP. He appears to be a good guy. However, he is a delusional about foreign policy and boarders on anti-semitism frequently.

Freerepublic is a Conservative forum. The idol known as RON PAUL to his drones is a libertarian. See any disconnect there?

Ron Paul is libertarian, not a conservative. This is a conservative forum.

I know Paulbots get angry when they can't spam forums with nonsensical, conspiratorial nonsense, but this just isn't the place for a bunch of libertarian drivel. It's bad enough I have to deal with paulspam on even the weather and gaming forums I frequent, so thank God paulbots get some push back here and can't spam at will without being called on it.

But there are some here who realize it, and in fact push the neocon Kool-aid.

How the neocons shills come suddenly crawling out of the woodwork making frenzied attempts to marginalize Ron Paul at the very mention of his name!

Their overreaction reminds me of something Winston Churchill once said:

"They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse – a little tiny mouse! – of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic."

Come to think of it, Winston Churchill was also marginalized between WWI and WWII, and his constant warnings about the growing danger of Germany only invited ridicule from his contemporaries.

But as England and the world soon found out--Churchill was right.

And Ron Paul is right.

That is simply because there is NOTHING positive about an anti-American surrender monkey.

I said something positive about Paul, I said he used to be a good obstetrician.

[CurlyBill]

Honestly, I like Ron Paul on the economy, but he has completely lost me with his foreign policy. He blamed the US for 9/11, said the US is a greater threat than Iran, and he said in the debate that Iran does not have planes that can reach the US and can’t even make enough gas to get them here... problem with that statement is this: You could have said the same exact thing about Al Qaeda on 9/10/01, but they were able to take out 3,000 people here in the US in about 90 minutes. I just don’t think he understands Islamic extremism.

There are a lot more unwritten rules than that here.
