Rep. Ron Paul’s defense of Iran’s nuclear weapons program should surprise no one. The same resentment motivates Ron Paul and the Iranian leadership — a paranoid hostility toward a world that is swiftly changing and has little mercy, and a Millenarian desire to return to a mythical, untroubled past. Get rid of the Federal Reserve, scourge the bankers, return to a gold standard and erect a wall around the United States — and we will return to when? To 1957, when the Russians launched the first space satellite, alerting the United States to the danger that it might lose the Cold War? Then, as always, we prevailed, but by the skin of our teeth. Ron Paul’s program is an American version of the Iranian desire to return to a world of Islamic purity that never existed, any more than did a golden age of American isolationism.

Good article. That type of thinking always has its simplistic appeal to people. In Ron Paul's case, unlike that of the mullahs, it's not even religious, since many of his social positions would certainly not gell with traditional Christians. But I think it does reflect a weird fantasy about a (mythical and non-existent) past time when there was a stronger, purer America, before it was corrupted by evil bankers and immigrants...
People should beware, because a lot of this thinking was behind the support for Hitler's theories in Germany. Again, Hitler arose during a period of economic hardship and confusion for Germans, and appealed to some supposed purer past. He demonized the wealthy and various industries, and of course picked the Jews as the supposed source of all this corruption and made getting rid of the Jews the key to the restoration of Germany's supposed purity.
I don't think there are enough weak-minded people in the US to fall for Paul's garbage, fortunately.
If the Paultards had been around in the 1930’s and 1940’s, they’d have been asking what right we had to stop Hitler from enslaving Europe, and eventually the world. Short sighted isolationism is not in America’s interest.
The sooner Ron Paul and his minions fade from prominence, the better.
Are you a retread or just a new troll?

So, how has the private Federal Reserve, criminal Banksters, fiat currency and open borders worked out so far? The one good thing about Ron Paul's candidacy is that has laid bare who are the true freedom loving Americans and who are the boot licking Globalist meat-puppets.

I checked your short list of forum posts. Your're smarter than your question. You're floating between Gingrich and the lunatic Paul.

You’re saying support RuPaul, or you are a boot licking Globalist meat puppet? Are you on the wrong forum?
So you are saying America has never been more prosperous,never been more at peace, the streets have never been safer,families have never been stronger than today? Talk about Orwellian. You sound just like these Marxists that claim Americans that want to return the good old days of the 1950's are dirty KKK Nazis. Like I said, Paul's candidacy really is showing people's true colors.
It's not a "right" it's an obligation. We MUST stand in the way of Islamic tyranny and genocide.
Good piece. I agree with most of what he has to say. I would still like to see an audit of the Fed. If they are shipping trillions to shore up european banks I think we should at least be consulted. And I don’t think a return to a defacto gold standard is anything unrealistic to expect; the Fed’s job is or ought to be to preserve and stabilize the value of the currency. Instead they keep going back into stimulus-inflationary management.
And I’m still waiting for a mainstream candidate to make what I think is a clear and obvious point, which is that if you are bringing in half what it takes to operate your government, your government is twice the size it ought to be.
Beyond that, I will say that war is coming. Its coming whether Paul is in the White House or Gingrich or anyone else. So the question for me is, who understands it well enough to make the appropriate preparations for what is coming. In historical terms, do you move while Hitler is planning to attack, or do you wait until he is dipping his toes in the English Channel. I know, if you’re Paul, the answer is neither.
Paul’s popularity is rooted in the fact that a lot of people want a government that respects the constitution and lives within its means. That is what attracts most of his support. That, and the fact that the others are so muted and mealy-mouthed on the subject.
Paul’s constant refrain, that we caused 911, that we occupy half the world (really? which half? does he not understand basing agreements?), his sympathies for Hamas and the ayatollahs, these are too much for me and for most people. But I am looking for a candidate who isn’t embarrassed by the constitution, and someone who is prepared to do major surgery to get the government back under control and push power away from the center and back out to the peripheries where it belongs.
I don’t see that person out there. The best I see is who I support, which is Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich. I wish there was someone better but I’m not running, so I’ll have to choose from among the ones who have dared to stick their heads up.
