YouTube video via Drudge- Ron Paul quote this morning on Fox and Friends- "When fascism comes it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. "
And anyone can make emotional appeals regarding the Israel lobby, conservative Christians, neo-cons, and the New World Order.
When did Paul say anything negative about conservative Christians?
As for neocons and the NWO, I wish more candidates would bring them up, but the GOP is afraid to anger its Rockefeller wing.
YOU suggested that some FReepers might grow on you.
I replied that cancer can grow on people as well and not beneficially.
Libertoonianism is a cancer that can grow on otherwise sensible people (OK, I am making a leap of faith, pardon the expression, as to you). Likewise anti-Catholicism (and in your case apparently some sort of resentment of your parents and of their Catholicism) is a cancer that can grow on you.
If you find Dr. Demento supportable, that is a cancer, whether you think so or not. You are new here. Maybe someone can show you JimRob's previous statement on paleoPaulie. You don't have to agree with him and his statement but sensible people will.
Whether or not you are a patriot is entirely your business. My perception of whether you are a patriot is my business too.
If you support El Run Paulie and yet call yourself conservative, those who ARE conservative have a right to defend the good name of conservatism consistent with house rules.
Whether or not you are a Catholic is even more your absolute business but, if you attack my Church, you also make that attack my business consistent with house rules.
I am pinging Jim Robinson NOT because I want you sanctioned (I don't. It would be a boring world in which everyone agreed on everything)but solely because I lack many computer skills including those necessary to bring up and include his statement on Paul.
You, IED, seem easily confused.
You're supporting an anarchist.
No, returning to the Constitution is a return to the rule of law.
The man is insane.
Hitler and Stalin made appeals to God, family and country (granted Stalin considered the Communist party God), emotional appeals are worthless if the people you refer to are anarchists.
How many moons are there in your sky???? Do you bark at all of them or just some of them?
Yes, that was your reply to the question are we winning the WOT.
So, the question that you asked was really a rhetorical one, since we haven't been attacked since 9/11 and thus, you were giving that as proof that we were indeed winning the WOT.
Meaning?
Typical meltdown from a kook who just secured $6,000,000 but still has no chance of appealing to more than 5-6% of voters.
Sure it is.
Article IV
Section 3. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.
The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular state.
Petition our congress to be admitted as a state of our union.
If congress votes the petition down, well, at least the effort was made and future considerations should be based on the attempt.
You're either with us or against us.
Did he have to do it by hiring them as advisors?
Remember I said that the New Deal was being sold to the American people as an alternative to Communism.
FDR had a Communist vice President, Wallace, so FDR was pretty unconcerned with them personally.
Also most Neocons come from this ideological background as well.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha .... stop it, please
And that is funny why?
Except most of the Paulistinians seem to think that the Constitution does not protect life or authorize the commander-in-chief to protect the country. They also seem to overlook the reality that the Founding Fathers who went on to become presidents did not seem to have a problem with entering into armed conflict without congressional approval.
The pacifist wonderbabies fear nothing so much as they fear victory since that will encourage future necessary wars. Too bad. Left or pseudoright, they MUST have a defeat for the US. Meanwhile, the paleos pose for "constitutionalist" holy pictures bleating about "declarations of war" and paleoPaulie actually makes a fool of himself and his followers by hallucinating about letters of marque and reprisal. Avast, Matey! Get your blunderbuss! We are heading for Fallujah!!!
Bush can do more. NO ONE would do less than the paleopeacecreep.
Most of the peacecreeps were rejoicing over the "intelligence" that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program in 2003 until they realized that (coincidentally, no doubt) we attacked Iraq in 2003 and Qaddaffi went bely up on HIS nuke program just about immediately. That all means that we had instant credibility by going to war for a change. War against Iraq was a threat to Iran and Libya too. AND Dubya was not addicted to diployak like his daddy. If Bush eventually pulls out of Iraq (which I doubt), it will be on OUR terms as we see fit not in the manner of fleeing in terror favored by paleocowards, John Murtha, Pelosi, Kerry, et al.
We have not been attacked in the US since 9/11 and not because OBL chooses not to hit us here. Rather, he is all too busy defending over there as it should be. Some of us believe that, if someone's civilian families are going to be killed, it is best that it not be our families and best that it not be in our land. May not satisfy the spineless Kumbaya crowd. Too bad.
The WOT will continue. If you really insist, we can, as a nation, chicken out, get whacked again here and then the paleogutless crowd and the organized left will fully assume the reputation of their collective object of worship: Neville Chamberlain.
Lavender Justin(e) Raimondo (and his antiwar.com) may be your foreign minister. He is not mine. Paleos will do NOTHING about Iran, NOTHING about Iraq, NOTHING about Afghanistan, nothing about terrorism. They will seek to hold hands with the terrorist, sell them whatever they want, sing Kumbaya and expect the lions to lie down with the lambs. A simpler solution is to leave the bad guys' remains flat, black and glowing in the dark. If the UN does not like that, we will see whether the paleos side with the US or with the UN and who the genuine nationalists are and who the globaloney artists are.
PaleoPaulie won't do squat because the American people, whatever their faults, would not be caught dead (and many would be dead soon enough) voting for the feckless wimp paleoPaulie for POTUS. His GOP constituents may well choose Peden to restore TX-14 to America. UpChuck Hegel got the message and he is going home. Weepy Walter Jones (paleobimbo-NC) deserves a well-financed primary opponent in North Carolina. Then there might be one or two others left but hopefully not.
**YAWN**
Keep saying that, you might come to believe it yourself soon.
gaffe also gaff (g²f) —n. 1. A clumsy social error; a faux pas. 2. A blatant mistake or misjudgment.
It sure wasn’t the brightest comment he’s ever made.
The Pendergast Machine was certainly corrupt but very unlikely to be communist.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the truth that paleoPaulie is an antiAmerican antiwar peace creep who deserves to be politically destroyed.
And still, he sits at 4%
I guess hindsight is 20/20. It strikes me as being something akin to having the police say "We want to put web cams in your bedroom to keep the peeping toms away.", and people saying "That sounds like a good idea!".
My wife needs the computer. I shall return tonight or tomorrow to give this post its just desserts.
