Smearing Ron and Rand Paul

Another day, another vitriolic and personal David Horowitz attack on a conservative who doesn't meet his purity test. Today he amplifies Gary Bauer's call to action against a proposal from Rep. Ron Paul, R-Tex., to cut foreign aid to Israel.

If you understand the Al Qaeda / Muslim Brotherhood program, you will realize that buying into their narrative implies great joy when the US pulls the plug on support for any of its client states in the historical territories occupied by Islam: whether Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia, Yemen, Iraq, or traditional NATO ally Turkey. They also have designs on states like Algeria, Libya, and Syria, whose rulers are not congenial to their program. As the US pulls back, AQ and MB influence will grow and their potential for eliminating the secular rulers in the various client states, and those that are secular and less visibly “US pawns” will grow. They’ve made considerable progress in Turkey, and now Egypt, though there is ‘less than meets the eye’ so far in Egypt.

Nature abhors a vacuum and so does power. All our enemies will move in as we move out. Enemies such as Mulsim Brotherhood, China, Russia, Iran and Al Qaeda

Ron Paul would have us be purist libertarians begging on the free market for foreign oil and all foreign resources. Actually this is our current policy. Meanwhile China locks up oil and gas into long term contracts. Stupid and beyond stupid to depend on buying oil etc on the free market

Your response sort of begs the question ... why are we spending so much money and expending so much military might and so many lives, if Middle Eastern oil can be secured, "locked up" in your terms, via long term contracts? Which is the logical approach? The one you attribute to China, or what has been our own to date? And, has Rep. Paul made any indication at all that he would oppose it?

Not that I am aware. Many with libertarian leanings are naive about the world outside our borders, including those who seem to think this country and it's constitution could survive the free-for-all of unfettered immigration, legal or otherwise. You have a fair point in that. Contracts, however, international or otherwise are a legal and constitutional approach and would not be opposed.

Strange it certainly is, when China of all countries, would appear to be taking a more constitutional approach than the country to which that constitution belongs, wouldn't you say?

[dennisw]

Ron Paul will never be asked that because this whole country has gone softie libertarian as far as seeing we get oil sent here. We used to manipulate and overthrow governments to see that this was done. All foreign oil used to be under contracts prior to 1973

No one here cares what I am saying. But I see the ChiComs being pro-active and doing what we used to do. Back when we were not infected by liberalism and behaved like a great power. Our oil majors coordinated with a patriotic State Department and CIA to see that we and our allies got oil from the Middle East as contracted. Today we depend on the beneficence of the free market but when supplies get tight or we have war then that mode of trade goes out the window

comprenez vous?

[traviskicks]

I guess we should continue supporting Middle East dictators... its been quite bipartisan.

Yes. You are quite well read.

And yet you STILL support Ron & Rand.

Since you are “so smart” please tell us all why neither Ron or Rand will ever get even 5% of the vote for president (and please try to do so in twentyfive insults or less).

It must be those “neo-coms”?

Or those who just “don’t get it”?

Or those who “stupidly beleave” that it is better to fight a middle eastern war in the middle east instead of Chicago?

Or those who “stupidly beleave” that those who live in glass house’s (ie. hang out with Alex Jones) are probably not real serious candidates for the the highest office in the land. (Nor a son who supports this).

Yes, quite well read indeed.

Nuff said.

I figured the best way to deal with you was to let a little time pass before responding yet again. Soooooooo... how do you like your crow sport? Grilled? Baked? Good old Texas style BBQ? LOL

[Mtner77]

Call back when he is President. Sport...

[lonevoice]

Truthers??? Where has Ron Paul indulged "Truthers? Citing US foreign policy as a factor in the cause of 9/11 is a faaaaaaarrrr stretch from claiming an inside bombing by the Bush administration. You people are the loons...

Seriously, I think you got lost on your way to another website.

IATZ of the Paulbot!

Ron Paul is insane, and he lies a lot too


Thank you JoeProBono

FReepmail TheOldLady to get ON or OFF the ZOT LIGHTNING ping list.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Any Terrorist can mass murder for any reason and blame anything.

And there will always be Jerks like Ron Paul willing to blame fellow Americans for his own political gain.

In that way Paul is exactly like Truthers - you ZOTTED Fool.

Never forget that.
