The man is an anti-Semite.

No, he's an anti-statist. He doesn't like any government's aggression against civilians. That's his consistent point of view.

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.

Interesting, the American Nazi Party's website "who we are" section sounds like they're commies, what with the talk of welfare, environmentalism, workers and social justice:

So, are you talking about the American Nazi Party Nazis or some other group of non-Nazi nazis?
