I wonder why the 9/11 terrorists didn’t attack Des Moines, IA. After all, they’re Americans too. /s

Yup. Another idiot whom I will never vote for if he gets the nomination.

Don't worry, Republicans are not anti-American terrorist lovers. While some paulbots may infiltrate there are not enough of them to destroy America.

Ron Paul is the proverbial stopped clock, right twice a day.

I have a very hard time finding him right anytime. Maybe if he would follow what he preaches, but he has NEVER done one thing he preaches.

Most of the UK terror attacks have been home grown.

Am I advocating continuing to meddle with ground troops? No.

Am I advocating nuking the feces out of any country or compound that has helped a terrorist attack one of our embassies or an attack on the USA? Yes I am.

Islamist radicals understand getting the feces smacked out of them with the leaders and the families of the leaders destroyed and wiped from the face of the earth and their bodies never found again.

Removing those who wish to wage Jihad from the gene pool until they are no more is the logical solution.

Does that sound too harsh? I wouldn’t want to be too harsh.

Dear Mr. Klien the Iraq war was a total boondoggle that cost over 5,000 American lives and over 100,000 Iraqi lives. This war was based on Iraq having WMD’s which was refuted by non other than secretary of state Colin Powell on the late Tim Russert show. Paraphrasing Powell’s comments,’the US was given false intelligence about WMD and in some cases deliberately’. Interestingly enough there was no media followup on what should have been one of the top stories of the decade. In addition and Israeli general who worked for the secret Israeli intellgence divisiion stated in an AP interview that Israel overstated its assertion on Iraqs having WMD. Also we had an inspector come back from Iraq also verifying this false assertion on WMD. Maybe Mr. Paul isn’t so crazy after all.

Ron:

I have studied history. The ship incident, referred to, was taken from Jefferson's report to Congress on that very one-sided achievement. No one denies that there were a succession of incidents with the Pirates; but I suggest that you read Jefferson's comments to President Washington on Treaty questions, when he was Secretary of State. He clearly endorses the view of Vattel, that every nation must be the judge of its own affairs--basic to the Law of Nations. That is the principle that motivates much of what Dr. Paul states; even if he does not always explain it very well.

As for whether Hamilton drafted the Farewell Address, as many believe: Washington would never have submitted it, if he did not agree with it. Hamilton had served Washington closely during the War, and certainly would not have put anything in the speech that did not reflect Washington's views, if he actually drafted the language. The Address was the guidepost for American statesmen for many years.

But, again, the only real point that is relevant to this controversy, is that Washington correctly identifies the psychological factors that come into play, when factions let either their animosity against or their favoritism for any foreign nation, influence their policy decisions. Nothing in recognizing those psychological factors discussed, prevent our acting in our own interest.

By the way, long before the fall of 1796, Jefferson had gotten over his initial sympathy for the Jacobins, and had recoiled from their behavior; nor did he like Napoleon; nor was he ever actually an Egalitarian. His initial sympathy, like his friend LaFayette's was in response to the corruption of the old order in France, which truly had substituted self-indulgence for responsible leadership.

Yeah, because advocating “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is such a crazy, silly and absurd moral rule! I mean, who would teach such a thing??? Let’s boo the Golden Rule! And let’s return hate with more of the same! Now that’s a better moral teaching. /sarcasm

Are you serious??
A man who would endorse drug use would actually try to say it’s because Jesus would allow it if the majority voted for it?

Are you serous??

A man who would endorse prostitution if the majority went for it is doing God’s will??

A man who would REFUSE to fight adolph Hitler is doing God’s will?

A man who endorsed the SOUTH in the Civil war and said they were RIGHT is doing God’s will??

A man whose endorsements include the NAZI PARTY OF AMERICA, STORMFRONT, CODE PINK, is a godly man??

Like I said earlier, you have lost your mind, Lily, lost it.

Sit down with your pastor, make sure you show him where ROn Paul said such things and has historically for decades and then tell you it’s all about Jesus showing love.

An organization called Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth video taped an inpromtu appearance with Ron Paul and recorded some of his comments. They can be found here:
http://michellemalkin.com/2007/05/19/trutheriness-and-ron-paul/


While Ron Paul has said on TV shows such as Glen Beck that he dismisses the major theories, he openly says there is a coverup of what went on yet refuses to elaborate on just what is covered up. The 9/11 Comission clearly showed that intelligence failures happened because of Clinton era laws that prevented our inteligence agancies from communicating with each other.

On the website CONSPIRACY PLANET, information about Ron Paul and issues similar to this can be found:
http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?ChannelID=90


Ron Paul has publically said that the CIA has accomplished a coup against America and needs to be taken out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dECSYm5bSM


A direct quote from this conference is as such:
(January 20, 2010) House Rep. Ron Paul says the CIA has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.”

Speaking to an audience of like-minded libertarians at a Campaign for Liberty regional conference in Atlanta this past weekend, the Texas Republican said: “There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They’re the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries...”

Additional video proof of him saying this here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SZKLvEOp9c


And here is one prominant website that supports the 9/11 conspiracy theories, calling for a RON PAUL PROVISIONAL ARMY to take over after we investigate the 9/11 events:
http://how911wasdone.blogspot.com/


Among the other kooky connections to Ron Paul, is a UFO COnnection. I have yet to find the original article, but numerous articles repeat the belief of Ron Paul’s that UFO’s are real. Some of the Ron Paul sites have soeone trying to mock this belief, but the Ron Paul site, DailyPaul.com says this:
http://dailypaul.com/node/125999


This has been repeated again in San Francisco, not known to support conservatives or Libertarians anyways, but associated with Ron Paul out there were UFO enthusiasts mentioned in this article:
http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2007/08/ron_pauls_ufo_sighter_friends.php


How is it that the kookiest ideas are surrounding Ron Paul? Ron Paul, UFO disclosure, etc... simply nothing more than a pacifier — a distraction!

As homosexual Army soldier Bradley Manning’s treason trial continues at Fort Meade, Maryland, the support he has received from Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has been curiously ignored by the major media, now touting Paul as someone who could win the January 3 Iowa Republican Caucuses. Paul has called Manning, a crossdresser with acknowledged mental problems, a “hero” and “patriot” for stealing government secrets and providing them to WikiLeaks.
http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2011/12/21/kincaid-ron-paul-says-accused-traitor-is-a-patriot/


While campaigning in Iowa on Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul praised the Occupy Wall Street movement, comparing it to the Tea Party movement. “In many ways, I identify with both groups,” Paul said. Both groups are fed up with problems in Washington and “the two-party-system,” Paul said while speaking at an insurance company in Des Moines. Praising the left-wing Occupy Wall Street movement is an unusual move for a Republican presidential candidate, but Ron Paul is, of course, an unusual Republican presidential candidate. He jumped to first place in the Iowa caucus polls partly because of support from people who aren’t Republicans. His comments that members of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street are unhappy with the “two-party system” could fuel speculation that Paul will make a third-party bid of his own—something he has not ruled out.

Iran wants nuclear weapons because you gain respect with them:
Apparently alluding to Israel and its nuclear-weapons arsenal, Paul said that “if I were an Iranian, I’d like to have a nuclear weapon, too, because you gain respect from them.”

I am just stunned that you would even make that connection

You have been around FR long enough, been sent books by me, been sent links to read, and are old enough to have lived through most of what I apparently have to remind you of

Islam HAS BEEN KILLING PEOPLE FOR MILLENIA

NO ONE was killing Muslims in 1948 when they attacked Israel

NO ONE was killing Muslims in 1953 when they tried to take over the Suez

NO ONE was killing Muslims in 1967 when they attacked Israel

NO ONE was killing Muslims in 1973 when they attacked Israel

NO ONE was killing Muslims in 1983 when the PLO was attacking Israel

RUSSIA was killing Muslims from 1978 to 1991 when the Mujahadeen was SUPPORTED by the USA in Afghanistan until they defeated the Russians with US HELP in 1991

NO ONE was bombing the Moros in the Philippines in the late 1800’s when they attacked the Philippino govt after the Spanish American War

NOT ONE American military action took place until Islamic pirates took our ships and sold the sailors as slaves in Tripoli in the Early 1800’s

NO ONE US SOLDIER attacked ANY Islamic country, for almost 100 years, until the Moros in the PI, and then, they, the Moros started it

The British lost control of their oil fields in iran in the 50’s, asked our CIA to overthrow Mossadegh and we agreed once we knew he was going to enter into an agreement with the Soviets, giving Russia their warm water port that the ENTIRE WORD was afraid of in the 50’s, placing the Shah in power again

Then, President Nixon imposed SANCTIONS ON THE SHAH in the early 1970’s due to human rights abuses and his lack of turning over Iranian govt land to the people as promised, only to be lifted because of the ISLAMIC Invasion of Israel in 1973 when we needed Iranian Oil

ONLY THEN did the Shah become our friend

A COMMUNIST LED coup started in Iran, taken over by the Islamic groups with khomenie’s return, claiming that the Shah killed many. The Ayatollah’s grandson admitted that they can only prove 3000 people killed by the Shah over 30 years, but that Khomenie killed over 100,000 in his first year alone, most of them the commmunist student leaders who led the original revolution against the Shah

When the Shah was pleading for help, JIMMY CARTER SIDED WITH THE ISLAMIC LEADERS, calling Khomenie a GREAT MAN and abandoned the Shah, refusing to provide him with arms to defeat the revolution.

The Islamic revolution started then, after the Shah was thrown out, and even though JIMMY CARTER abandoned the Shah, khomenie used us as the scapegoat, using 25 year old news as a rallying cry and ignoring how we sanctioned against the Shah just 6 years previous

Since then, the Islamic world has attacked us numerous times each decade, NONE of which we started

NO ONE was bombing Muslims after we came to Beirut to STOP the slaughter of the PLO when they bombed our barracks and killed over 250 Marines

NO ONE was bombing Muslims, yet in OKC when Iraqi Republican Guards were identified as helping McVeigh and Nichols build that bomb.

NO ONE was bombing the Philippino Muslims when they helped Nichols build that bomb

WE BOMBED CHRISTIANS in Kosovo to HELP ISLAMIC JIHAD Armies supported by IRAN thanks to Bill Clinton

NOT ONE Islamic country denounced any of those attacks in our defense, nor did they mention our support

For you RON PAUL LOSERS to say anything different is to show your historical ignorance or your absolute insane mind to the world

Way too many false assumptions, logical fallacies, lies or distortions to even sift through right now. You are the king of those things.

It's hard to 'debate' someone who starts off with so many misunderstandings and faulty premises, and especially someone who is so emotional and unwilling to even fathom the idea that you are wrong about anything here.

I do, however, want to get back to you on your entire view or understanding of liberty, and how that relates to us as Christians. But I haven't had the time to put all my thoughts down in writing, to try to explain to you what I have been realizing, and to show you how extremely legalistic and misguided (even if well-intended) you are. When I have the time, I'm going to write a blog post on this topic, and I'll let you know when I do.
