I’ve noticed that Paul supporters are anti-Semitic, isolationist, protectionist and conspiracy theorists. This guy was an embarrassment during the presidential debates.
He thinks that 9/11 is all our fault.
‘nuff said.
We were hoping to elect someone who still believed in limited gov't?
BTW I disagree vehemently with Paul on Israel.
Ron is an ultra-moron. I bet he blames us for 9/11 too.
He does. Said it during one of the presidential debates. Giuliani slammed him for it.
In this case, no one is saying that UN treaties are superseding the Constitution just like no other written law supersedes the Constitution. Treaties just like laws, are tools. The Constitution is supreme law but does give the authority to create tools (such as treaties). The Constitution also gives the proper way these are ratified and how you get out of them (via legislative process.)
Let’s be clear about the term “blowback::
What this term means for coy conservatives like Paul and even other lefty reactionaries is that when Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran engage in direct acts of violence, they are not really engaging in violence. These individual terrorists and genocidaires are mere cogs in the American imperial machine.
These TERRORISTS have no choice but to launch rockets, behead, suicide bomb and any other terrifying inhumane act they unleash. They have no choice— its ‘blowback.’
Well Ron Paul, I still have a choice.
You are anti semitic and a threat to the Republic. Until such so called Libertarians clue into the reality of US security, they really should not even be seen as authentic libertarians. Even Jefferson sent Marines to get these SOBs in 1802.
Pretending to have some appropriate limited view of American foreign policy is a cover for raw bigotry. Ron Paul thinks we deserve it.
I disagree.
The Lebanon barracks were bombed in 1983.
Wow. He is nuts.
Its funny how they always mention negative blowback to us, not positive blowback of action or blowback for inaction. Blowback is not a one way street.
I know. I didn’t direct my post at you. I was just making a broad statement that our elected politicians believe in the UN bureaucracy and not our Republic form of government.
Cool, sorry, reacting to an all too often misstated charge...
Honestly, I don't think he has.
Saying "The weapons being used to kill so many Palestinians are American weapons, and American funds, essentially, are being used for this," is a no-brainer. Our government throws money at EVERY nation, so it's no surprise when that money is used to a destructive end.

Paul also expressed his opposition to a House resolution that strongly supported Israel in its Gaza invasion. "I rise in opposition to this resolution, not because I am taking sides and picking who the bad guys are and who the good guys are."
George Washington farewell address:
So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld.
Nowhere do I see verification of the title of the article showing Paul says the US is 'liable' for the deaths in Gaza, and his opinion seems mighty close to that of the Founders.
Just more media bait for the Paul bashers.
Ron Paul, spewing idiocy once again.
Great post.
Didn't know that. Those votes say a lot about Ron Paul.
Just anpther reason why Ron Paul manages to marginalize himself out of existence. This guy agrees more with Louis Farrakahn than he does with any conservative that I know
