Liberal Jews have more “anti-semitism” (as defined by having no use for Israel) than Paul does.

He’s just an isolationist. He has a point, but IMO as a Christian nation, we have a spiritual obligation/charge to defend Israel.

Eh, isn’t a Scriptural point a view on the defense of Israel derived from the notion that she should rely on only the Lord, and herself, for her own defense?

Must admit I struggle with that notion myself, however the OT is rife with reliance on Foreign Power being one of the things that signals that Israel is in deep deep trouble?

This sort of thinking scares me. Muslim countries have obligation because they are Muslim. Christian countries have obligations because they are Christian. The Jewish country has obligations because they are Jewish and on and on and on.

We have obligations because we are free people. Believing a country must act in a certain way because of a certain religion is UnAmerican.

I don’t disagree with that. Ron Paul and his ilk are oblivious about the Islamic threat. I like isolationism but the world will be coming at us even if we disengage completely. So we must engage and make friends instead of just signing business contracts with foreigners

Libertarians think everything can be reduced to commerce
Like I said>>> Ron Pauls followers are much worse than him. Half are illogical (911 was an inside job) potheads going on about “false flag operations”. A phrase they never heard of a few months ago.
