But the thing with Paulites is that they focus on it to the exclusion of all else. No focus on combatting the lingering cultural influence of the former USSR that pervades academia and the entertainment industry, and no focus on the threat of the ever-spreading blight that is Islam.

First of all, you're getting your views of Ron Paul from limited, prejudiced sources. He is supported by G. Edward Griffin, a former documentary film maker for the John Birch society. The John Birch society views the issues Ron Paul addresses as very serious threats to the Republic.G. Edward Griffin made documentaries such as an interview Norman Dodd, who served on the Reece committee investigation into the Tax-Exempt Foundations and the damage they've done to our country. You can find numerous documents at www.jbs.org speaking out against the fiat dollar. G. Edward Griffin has campaigned tirelessly against collectivism and communism. Ron Paul's very foundational principles are rooted in combating notions of collectivist thought that have crept into both political parties in the United States. Ron Paul's earliest and strongest supporters are the most anti-communist folks you'll ever get to know.

The issue of how to combat Islamism is very debatable. Under the present administration's guiding wisdom, we have imported around half a million Muslims, at just under 100,000 per year. Our borders have been left open, and our culture is being forcefully shifted away from its core of the English language, even if just by a few million people who have come here illegally. There has been a purposeful decision among the leadership of our two parties not to end illegal immigration. They have decided to continue attempting to pass an amnesty bill. Ron Paul is probably as strong as Tancredo and Hunter on the issue of amnesty. He would fight the welfare state which is truly what attracts these people more ferociously than any other potential candidate running at the moment.

You're like a hostage with two guns to his head, and all you're really worried about is your cholesteral level.

Actually, it's the other way around. Many of our issues have root causes, such as a growing internationalism on the part of the American elite, which pressures our politicians to move toward projects like the www.spp.gov, NAFTA, CAFTA, the sea agreement LOST, and to avoid deporting illegal aliens. This comes from big money as well as liberal/socialist perspectives. The big money behind these ideas is now international. A Spanish company known as Ferrovial (which already owns a controlling share of Heathrow airport in London) will be holding portions of the super corridor being planned starting in Texas and moving up through any states that will agree to having it.

We are continually told that we need to fight terrorism abroad, and Ron Paul has identified the letters of marque approach as was used during the barbary pirates crisis back in the late 18th century as an approach to this problem. However, we must do more at home to combat the Islamism of our own country. We must do more to stop illegal immigration such that our own culture is not shifted continually toward Spanish-speaking from our cultural roots in English. These are real problems that Ron Paul has addressed in his writing and in his speeches, and in the debates. He has the roots of our present problems in his sights, and they are both 'cholesterol' and guns pointed at our heads.
