Bingo.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
No, he's an anti-statist. He doesn't like any government's aggression against civilians. That's his consistent point of view.
Those of you who like the US intervention in Israel's affairs should know it is our interference that has helped to prolonged this mess. LBJ would not let Israel march into Damascus, for one.
Then there's Clinton's failed mid-east peace process.
You interventionists need to recognize you're the flip side of Pelosi's desires to dictate everyone's life in the US.
Because I state a fact, proven by word and deed, the man is anti-Semite, I’m an interventionist? Nope, ain’t gonna happen because if it were up to me, I would unleash Israel to do what needs to be done.
Yes and no. The US inherited a lot of crap from the waning British empire. One of which was the nightmare creation of a nation state of Israel within Palestine, guaranteed for generations of unresolved conflict over an area the size of Dade County, FL

You realize of course that that makes no sense. What has "statism" got to do with the Arab/Israel conflict? Yet I notice that there is a whole swath of "Constitutionalist anti-statists" of the John Birch/Liberty Lobby persuasion who act as if the mere existence of Israel causes "big government" at home. What has one to do with the other?
If Paul is a non-interventionist, why is he sticking his nose into what is going on over there? Yet he seems to do that an awful lot, and always against Israel. What about Arab/islamic "statism?" What about Arab/islamic governments' aggression against civilians? No, it's always Israel, Israel, Israel. They are obsessed by Israel. They are more obsessed by Israel than the Israelis.
American "palaeolibertarians" are nothing more than the local, American version of the Nazis. And before you come back with "that's ridiculous! The Nazis advocated big government" (which is true), allow me to explain.
The European, "blood-and-soil" type right is very relativistic. It adapts to whatever ideology supposedly defines its nation. In Germany, it was socialism (therefore "national socialism"). In France it was communism (therefore "national communism"--and yes, that's what it called itself in France). In Russia it is "national bolshevism." In America, it's Jeffersonian "constitutionalism."
Ultimately the "palaeo," anti-Semitic right is about henotheism and the rejection of universals. Jeffersonian "strict constructionist" anti-statism is the American "truth." Therefore the American counterpart of the Nazis latch onto it.
For good men to do nothing...
