So – Are You Offended By This?
The Hayride ^ | 22 December 2011 | MacAoidh

I am. Anybody who supports Ron Paul after seeing this isn’t just not a Republican; they’re not a patriotic American. George McGovern would find this guy’s foreign policy borderline treason.

Paulbots are just like the online community organizer Obamabots when they are trying to be sneaky. They are 100% for their candidate but they pretend like they are neutral while informing everyone why they have decided to support their heroic candidate. There are a couple of posts like this in this thread.

Paulbots use the word "neocon" the same way Liberals use the race card. Anyone that doesn't support Obama is called racist and anyone that doesn't love Ron Paul and his strength through weakness foreign policy is automatically a neocon.

For this video to be accurate about Americans in Iraq for instance, we need to have :

1) An Texan equivalent of Saddam Hussein who uses WMDs to gas fellow Texans, attacks a neighboring state ( Kuwait ) and bankrolls terrorists.

2) A Texan equivalent of Sunnis who hate Shias and vice versa.

3) An American equivalent of Iran.

Yes, we can imagine all those, but to put a moral equivalence between our our presence in Iraq and China’s presence in Texas is an idiotic flight of fancy.

As I watched it continually ask for the viewer to Imagine an America occupied by foreign forces that raped, killed, and terrorized the population...

sounds like most "sanctuary cities".

You got it--he has some good talking points! And I understand he is also a savvy investor--as are Nan and Boehner, using insider knowledge to invest.

That CAN'T be Ron Paul. Both his eyebrows are on straight...

Cheers!

...oh, and Merry Christmas!

I wonder if Ron Paul has read the Duelfer Report, knows about the WMD’s going to Syria, or is aware of the records we captured from Saddam showing his sons recruiting jihadists to attack US and Britain interests worldwide.

Or if he knows the interrupted Iraqi plans to bomb Radio Free America in Prague or Saddam’s captured communiques from his field operatives in Afghanistan telling Saddam to expect the US to retaliate after 9-11 because the US had proof that Iraq was involved - shortly after a Prague informant recognized Atta’s photo as being the same guy who had met with the Iraqi official in Prague earlier in 2001, a fact that was only known to Czech officials and our own CIA, which suggests that Saddam’s people had an “in” with our CIA...

There’s way, way too much stuff that’s never been fully hashed out by the public so officials can get away with saying stuff that doesn’t fit the evidence at all.

It isn't just an attack on our foreign policy, it's a direct attack on our military.

So, maybe that's why he's recieved more donations from active duty military than all other GOP candidates combined?

Just imagine, there is no RuPaul, no paulbots, or spamming of the internet from the weed lovers. Imagine, they actually knew what foreign policy was, imagine that RuPaul did’nt call a traitor, a hero. Imagine that this crazy old goat was sitting at home watching Lawrence Welk and leaving normal Americans alone. Imagine if Iran does develop working Nukes and RuPaul chooses to ignore them when they first strike Europe..it’s Europe’s problem after all. Imagine his campaign being over by the end of March! Thank God! The craziness will end.

The Ron Paul people are crazier than their idol. More than anything else, it’s Ron Paul’s supporters that make me think he’s unfit for office.

“Ron Paul is a veteran. He’s not attacking the military. What he is attacking is unconstitutional action on the part of President Obama.”

Paul is a nukkin fut!

I am not offended by it and I am retired from the Marine Corps. I am a proud Vietnam vet who believes we should rein in our GOVERNMENT and its imperial proclivities. We were, after all, created as a Constitutional Republic, not an empire.

This is a disgusting, reprehensible ad. Someone that feels this way is even more dangerous to American Sovereignty than the “occupier” in the WH right now. Again, it also shows the pure idiocy of a large part of the American public about American history. To even compare a scenario like the one to what is currently taking place in Afghanistan and/or Iraq shows not a distortion, but a complete annihilation of the facts. *steps away & shakes head* in disbelief that there are people who have been brainwashed enough to believe this crap....*guesses that the spoonful of sugar gets passed around quite a bit among the Ron Paul crowd*

Yes, Islam is a political system and one that has no borders to boot. Therefore is innocent people who end up in the cross hairs which is exactly what Islam wants, the destruction of the innocent. So rather than gallivanting all over the world wasting precious resources, aka human lives, we should focus on keeping them out of our borders while being prepared to stand with Israel when hasatan comes calling.

Do you suppose that, even should we fall so far, 100-plus million Americans, with an average of two or more firearms EACH, would just leave the field to the invaders?

And were WE to continue our current intrusive trends, alienating our friends as well as enemies, just WHO might come to OUR aid?

But more than that, WHY DO WE NEED a “world leader”? Are you so arrogant as to think that somehow WE have some right or duty to use our “might” to impose our will on other nations? WHO MADE US THE MASTER? Isn’t that what Ancient Rome did? Their downfall started the day their Republic turned into an empire.

I'm with you.

Doesn't anyone wonder why after 9/11 our borders are still wide open, in the name of political correctness our 'leaders' continue to invite the enemy in and pander to them? Then, for our own good, we are subjected to an ever encroaching police, surveillance state.

HaSatan never works in the wide open, he works under cover by sneaking in the back door because it is the golden rule of covenant from the beginning that if one enters through the front door, then one accepts the terms of the covenant and thus is responsible to protect those they entered in with rather than destroying them. That is why no Islamic Jihadi that attacks innocent people in the name of Allah, comes through the front door when they make their attack. Political correctness is a back door entrance, plain and simple.

Not only is it offensive on it’s premise, it is completely annoying with it’s rachetted up volume and EQ changes in the narrator. This is straight out of “Prison Planet”.

First, no chinee troops would ever reside in Texas— not for long. Second, the US was in Iraq with a multinational force, and sanctioned in it’s actions by the various nations in the coalition. This video makes a moral equivalence that simply does not exist.

Now, if Paul wanted to talk about the takeover of our own countrymen by our government, in the name of “secuuuuuurity” that would be a different point altogether.
The notion that trading partners don’t go to war— is historically and factually false. There is much that makes sense in the “Reason” point of view. This, as a foreign policy leaves us vulnerable in major ways.
That is the problem with kumbayah and “peace brother” libertarians— the commercial hippies political party. Wow, man... far out— can I have another hit?
