Here are a few “non terror” related attacks.

Anthrax post 911. Snipers in DC, LAX shootings, Appalachian School of Law shooting, American Airlines flight 587, Oklahoma University’s suicide bomber, Oil refinery explosions, Seattle Jewish federation shootings, Afghani Driver Plows Into People in San Francisco, 2003 blackout....

I acknowledge them, but hey what do I know, I support Paul and his desire to close the borders, kick out the illegals, arm the American citizens and fight terrorism the right way.

Um...it would be easier to go along with your point if you weren't blaming terrorists for several things that were not caused by terrorists. Three of them weren't even caused by violence.

American Airlines flight 587

Oil refinery explosions

2003 blackout

Appalachian School Shooting

I am aware of no evidence that these incidents were caused by terrorists, and in the case of 587 there is conclusive evidence that the cause of the crash was overuse of the rudder in response to wake turbulence. Indeed, it's so conclusive that American and Airbus are fighting over it in court. The Appalachian shooter may have been a muslim (I'm unsure), but neither his attack, behavior, motives or statement directly after the attack...

“I had to do it. I didn’t know what else to do. I had nowhere else to go.”

...fit at all with a terror attack. Then there's the fact that he's still alive. What Muslim terrorist faces two guys armed with handguns and surrenders instead of shooting it out so that he'll die for Allah?

Now, let's get back to my points about "inspiration" and illegal aliens:

DC Sniper--Americans with no direct AQ connection "inspired" by bin Laden.

LAX shooting--No AQ connection, guy was here legally because of a Green Card lottery

OKU Bombing--If this was a terror attack (disputed) it was carried out by an American citizen without any help from any terror organization and I can't figure a Muslim terrorist would leave "None of you are worth living with. You can all kiss my ass" as his suicide note.

Jewish Federation Shootings--An American citizen, no AQ connection, "inspired" by Israel bombing her enemies...has Ron Paul got a plan to run Israel's military?

Virginia Tech shooting--See how nice I am? I'm spotting you one you missed. Well, the shooter was here legally since he was a small child, and he was not connected to any terror organizations. Another case of "inspiration."

So, you said there were 18 attacks, and you've provided 10. Between the incidents that weren't terror attacks and the incidents that were carried out by Americans or legal immigrants, you're down to two terror attacks, only one of which (anthrax) was arguably an operation by AQ or another terror group.

Surely you have some more attacks to list, and surely you have better evidence than this that Dr. Paul can stop all the terror attacks that Dubya is letting go on, right?

kick out the illegals, arm the American citizens and fight terrorism the right way.

Please elaborate on what is meant by "the right way," what is meant by "arming the American citizens" (we're currently the most well-armed country in the world) and I'm sure you'll tell me why killing terrorists where we can find them overseas is not "the right way" and turning Iraq over to Iran is "the right way."
