The Company Ron Paul Keeps
The Weekly Standard ^ | Dec 26, 2011 | James Kirchick

Posted on 12/17/2011 12:53:38 PM PST by Proud2BeRight

"The Republican Jewish Coalition announced this month that congressman Ron Paul would not be among the six guests invited to participate in its Republican Presidential Candidates Forum"........ "While Paul’s views on Israel certainly place him outside the American, never mind Republican, mainstream, there is an even more elementary reason the RJC was right to exclude him from its event. It is Paul’s lucrative and decades-long promotion of bigotry and conspiracy theories, for which he has yet to account fully, and his continuing espousal of extremist views, that should make him unwelcome at any respectable forum, not only those hosted by Jewish organizations. "

We now know the newsletters are real but you chose to attack a person who discusses them rather than the crackpot who is responsible for them.

Do you agree with the Ron Paul newsletters? Do you believe someone who puts his name to such vile crap is presidential material?

Likewise, I have not ever participated in public protest. I served in the military but was never in a combat zone. My service time was spent in the area of weapons research and testing but that was about 40 years ago. The changes since my time have been monumental.

So.....if you don’t conform and parrot pro war conservatives, you get “zotted”? Whatever that means. I am a good american who has been risking my life on a daily basis to protect my fellow citizens and to defend the constitution. If I support a conservative like Alex Jones (which I do wholeheartedly) and my first amendment doesn’t count because of it. Then kick me off. This is a great forum with great people. I found it very thought provoking and informative. But IF that is the level of close minded, intolerance of the first amendment. Go ahead “zot” me! I personally don’t believe that Jim Robinson is like that. With a forum as successful as this....I’m sure he supports the 1st Amendment 100%.

You should really read the bible more. It appears that with so much hate and a thirst to kill muslims in their homeland...the teachings of Jesus might help you. Since you are a Cathoilic......

I don't know if you are actually quoting "military people" or just repeating someone else's line, but I happen to work in an Air Force organization where our guys have been deployed to the ME and not one of them says they support Ron Paul or that we should not be in the ME.

Paulbots are taking a page out of Obama's playbook. They give a contribution and put down they are military. Just like Obama did. Obama has now fallen to second in this scheme. Anybody who has actually served knows any active serviceman does not have an extra $500 average to throw away on an anti-American fringe candidate. I admit they are good at spamming polls and fake donations, but their tactics will not turn into actual votes.

You should learn to read and not make things up. Where did I say I wanted to kill muslims? I want to convert them to Christianity.

Islam is a cult of terror, murder and subjugation. It is the Islamic holy books that command the followers to kill non-belivers. Christianity cannot co-exist with it, as evidence that Christian populations everywhere in the middle east are declining. The Coptics in Egypt will be gone soon.

Islam is evil and needs to be eradicated. Educate yourself.

I work with both officers and enlisted and none of them say they are for Ron Paul.

The only people who support the blame America first anti-American are paulbots who are not programmed to think for themselves. They can only follow their Messiah.

Ron Paul has a shot ONLY because.

you want to have ANY hope of repealing ObamaCare....shuttering Education, Energy and EPA...your ONLY shot is Ron Paul. That’s it.

Gingrich is doin’ none of that. Perry is doin’ none of that ‘cause he’s goin’ nowhere. And Romney will expand them all and try to tell us otherwise...

Go convert them. You should meet with some muslims and convert them. But from your comments and tagline it appears that your hatred is based on fear. Wanting to “eradicate” a religion is inviting death and destruction. Read what our founding fathers said about freedom of religion. We founded our own country to get away from the BS of Europe. Let others do what they want in their country. We should stay out of everyone else’s business and focus on our own problems. Oh and btw...that’s what our founders wanted. There is a provision for war in Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution. Your fear and buying into the hype will lead to world war and more american deaths.

One day....when we are no longer a super power you will be praying that other countries do not invade us and “convert” us. Leave them alone. We should not be in their country doing anything.

If we need to go to war....then let’s do through our constitution. Can you at least agree that we should follow the constitution?

I would be surprised if Jim's understanding and support of the 1st Amendment includes the right to advocate for or defend Alex Jones on Jim's private property against his wishes. If he has time to respond to this, I'd rather he speak for himself.

Now you know Cut and Run is not going to do any of that. He has been in Washington for how many years? What has he ever actually done? Oh that is right he has blamed America for every problem in the world and acquired tons of earmarks, but he SAYS he is against the earmarks.

I've little use for the Weekly Standard and I reject the idea that being opposed to foreign aid is a fringe position (I'm against foreign aid myself, as is Chaim Ben Pesach of the Kahanist Jewish Task Force), but I nevertheless agree that Ron Paul is way beyond the pale of respectability. It is unfortunate that the point is being made by a not-so-conservative magazine and an author who apparently believes every "decent" American should support foreign aid.

Some supporters of Ron Paul think that his anti-Israel reputation comes completely and only from his opposition to foreign aid for all countries, including Israel. This is not so. Many militant Zionists also oppose American foreign aid for Israel as something that makes Israel dependent and buys the American government a say in Israeli policies. Paul is not merely opposed to unconstitutional foreign aid to Israel, he is hostile to Israel itself.

Others believe Paul's anti-Israel positions are merely the result of his consistent libertarianism. I reject this as well.

Ron Paul's hostility to Israel (and that of so many of his supporters) comes neither from opposition to foreign aid or libertarianism but from the fact that he represents the old anti-Semitic "right" of Father Coughlin, Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and Van Horne Mosely.

Paul is close to the John Birch Society, which has in the past been very hostile to Israel. And the JBS most definitely is an old right, not a libertarian, organization. Consider the case of the late John Schmitz, former Congressman from California (and high ranking JBS member). Schmitz was as far from "libertarianism" as a conservative can be; he was a supporter of such decidedly non-libertarian regimes as that of Papadopoulos in Greece and Salazar in Portugal and was expelled from the Society after saying that only a military coup d'etat could save America--a position one will probably never hear from Paul. But the non-libertarian Schmitz had the exact same hostility to Israel that the libertarian Paul does. (Schmitz was also a fan of Willis Carto and his racialist, Holocaust-denying Institute for Historical Review.)

Some of Paul's other positions also come from this non-libertarian "old right" position. For example, hostility to the Federal Reserve is not a libertarian monopoly by any means; many more authoritarian "old right" personalities, such as Father Coughlin (but also the advocates of social credit and falangism/national syndicalism) actually advocate(d) the nationalization of the entire financial sector.

One cannot understand Ron Paul without understanding the anti-Jewish, anti-Israel "old right." Libertarianism and opposition to foreign aid are both false leads.
