The Surviving Ron Paul Report

Foreign policy, not racism, is the main front in the Paul wars.

Shortly before Christmas, Ron Paul appeared on the Tonight Show, yukking it up with Jay Leno and dishing on his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination. Michele Bachmann, Paul said, “doesn’t like Muslims. She hates Muslims. She hates them.” The Texas congressman agreed with Leno that Rick Santorum is obsessed with certain minority groups: “Gay people and Muslims.”

Three things immediately struck me about Paul’s comments: they are unwise for someone seeking to win a statewide contest in socially conservative Iowa; they are unfair and uncharitable to his colleagues; and they are utterly incongruent with the current flap over his newsletters from the 1990s.

Paul’s instincts don’t jibe with the newsletters’ more offensive material, which in turn have virtually nothing to do with his current appeal. Moreover, if Paul held social views that were unhelpful to his campaign, it is clear he wouldn’t let political considerations keep him from eventually blurting them out.

That’s not to say that the Paul camp’s explanation for the newsletters is satisfactory, especially for what is now a top-tier campaign. Newt Gingrich became the first of the major Republican candidates to go after Paul on this front.  “I think it’s very difficult to see how you would engage in dealing with Ron Paul as a nominee,” Gingrich told CNN. “Given the newsletters, which he has not yet disowned.”

Paul has disowned the content in question, even if he hasn’t given a convincing account of its authorship. What vexes the former House speaker is that Paul has also signed his name to some of the most effective anti-Gingrich attack ads running in Iowa. “You look at Ron Paul’s record of systemic avoidance of reality, his ads are about as accurate as his newsletter,” Gingrich complained.

Enter Eric Dondero, a longtime former Paul aide. Like David Stockman on Ronald Reagan and John Dean on Richard Nixon, Dondero has emerged as an insider who can be counted on to give hostile quotes about his old boss, with whom he now disagrees.  Whatever can be said about the details of Dondero’s latest statement — in describing others’ views, he doesn’t see a lot of daylight between “pro-defense right-libertarians” and “isolationist/pacifist/surrenderists” — he is surely right that this dispute is less about Paul’s alleged political incorrectness in the ‘90s than his foreign policy views now.

Many of the young supporters drawn to Paul’s message on war and civil liberties had barely been born when Murray Rothbard died. To them, “paleolibertarianism” is more ancient history than the creation of the Federal Reserve. Similarly, the writers most dedicated to digging through the Ron Paul Survival Report archives are almost uniformly foreign policy hawks.

None of this makes exploring a presidential candidate’s past an illegitimate journalistic exercise. Barack Obama had ties to Jeremiah Wright; Rudy Giuliani conducted three hard-fought mayoral campaigns in the period of racial polarization that helped give rise to the Survival Report. If either of them had published incendiary newsletters, it would be worth investigating even if the heavy lifting had to be done by scribes who opposed other aspects of the candidates’ policy agendas.

Moreover, Paul continues to attract some marginal supporters. Some are kooks and 9/11 truthers, despite the obvious intellectual contradictions between “blowback” and conspiracy theories alleging that the 2001 terrorist attacks were an “inside job.” Others are bigots and anti-Semites. Paul remains convinced that it is more important to spread the libertarian gospel than to purge the undesirables in his midst.

Yet it only seems fair to note that today Paul is the lone Republican candidate who talks about the suffering of black Americans under the war on drugs, that he is further removed from the idea that “[c]ops must be unleashed and allowed to administer instant punishment” than any major candidate in either major party.  Paul has risen in the polls not because Americans are coming around to his views on past controversies, whether they concern the Civil War or the 1988 Libertarian Party nomination fight, but because they share his belief that the country’s current direction is unsustainable.

Some of Paul’s war-weary voters might even prefer a candidate who broke less radically from the American foreign policy consensus. But the Chuck Hagels and Jon Huntsmans don’t tend to be with them when it counts. They regret their support for the last war and then go on to reluctantly support the next one.

A Republican Party free of racism or bigotry is an admirable goal. A GOP free of meaningful debate on foreign policy is anything but.

The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims.

Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence, not skin color, gender, or ethnicity. In a free market, businesses that discriminate lose customers, goodwill, and valuable employees- while rational businesses flourish by choosing the most qualified employees and selling to all willing buyers. More importantly, in a free society every citizen gains a sense of himself as an individual, rather than developing a group or victim mentality.

This leads to a sense of individual responsibility and personal pride, making skin color irrelevant. Rather than looking to government to correct what is essentially a sin of the heart, we should understand that reducing racism requires a shift from group thinking to an emphasis on individualism.”
-Ron Paul, 2002

Jack| 12.28.11 @ 7:07AM

Ron Paul is the only one bringing any new people into the party. He and his ideas plays very well with the young, disaffected Democrats, and Independents. These wars are as popular as cancer. No prowar candidate will come close to beating Obama. especially such chickenhawks like Romney or Gingrich. He also does well in the black community with his emphasis in ending the war on drugs. Why should drug addicts be treated any worse then alcholics? If Rush Limbaugh can walk why shouldn't everyone?

Ron Paul gets huge monetary support from the people who fight and die in our wars. He gets more then all the rest combined. He gets 10 times more then Romney and 100 times more then Gingrich. The people who fight the delusional wars of the neocons deserve and want better Then people like Obama, Romney, and Gingrich.

richard ryan| 12.28.11 @ 10:55AM

avoiding unnecessary wars is a good thing. RPs isolationism resonates with most Americans (60%)?
What I'm not sure about is his dedication to a strong military. I'm ok with the US pulling some of our troops from foreign bases. But we must keep developing and building new weapons systems, satellite technology, cyberdefense, etc. Strengthen and build up our Navy fleet, conventional weapons, etc. This is the first responsibility of government.

john dubose| 1.2.12 @ 11:48PM

It is not just semantics to say that non-interventionism is not the same as isolationism. Ron Paul is clear that he wants to continue all sorts of interaction with the other countries of the world. What he does not want to do is foolishly jump into other people's fights. It is a judgement call about the many struggles going on in the middle east.

It is fine to think his reluctance is an error. But it is NOT isolationism.

Jack in Wi.| 12.28.11 @ 11:39AM

For some reasons my earlier posts went in as Jack, instead of Jack in Wi. I don't know how that happened.

Except when Paul doesn't make it past the primaries, again, these people will just go home and sit on their hands. They are only interested in electing Ron Paul instead of defeating Obama.

irish19| 12.29.11 @ 12:58AM

That is the worry. They'd rather see zero elected again than have a republican other than Paul be elected.
How about it, Paulists? I'll vote for Paul if he's the candidate. Will you vote R if he isn't?

bondservant| 1.3.12 @ 10:41PM

I'm not voting for Ron Paul - I'm voting for the message. If you always vote for the cronies presented by the two parties, they'll keep presenting us with cronies. If Paul doesn't win, and Obama is re-elected, maybe the Republican Party will gradually get the message that we don't want Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney, Gingrich. (and the same thing goes for Demos). Why should they give us anything else if we're willing to settle?

spike59| 12.29.11 @ 6:28AM

The only 'new people' Ronpaul is bringing into the party are Paulbots who will leave once it becomes clear that their tinfoil hat messiah has as much chance as Hillary Clinton of winning the GOP nomination. A Paul-ObaMao head to head matchup would result in a 50 state electoral win for ObaMao, with a popular vote margin of about 20-25 percent. He's a crank, a phony, a hypocrite, a fraud, and a conspiracy loving whackadoodle who's more suited for a guest host spot on AM Coast to Coast.

Timothy L. Pennell| 12.28.11 @ 11:46AM

Apparently, JackassinWi has transformed himself in to just Jack. And, even though "Jack" doesn't know jack, it's nice that he's still here. pushing the whole JEW thing.

"Ron Paul is the only one bringing any new people into the party."
Indeed.

In fact, I don't remember when there have been so many JEW HATERS "in the party". Jew. Jew. Jew. Jew. Neocon (JEW). Neocon (Jew).

I guess "JACK" (If that's his real name?) sees this as a GOOD THING for Republicans. Maybe Jack wants a more Racially Pure Party? I guess he thinks that having the Skin Heads and The Aryan Nation on board, is proof of a Republican Big Tent. Or maybe Jack just believes that this is his Big Chance, to come out from the shadows. Him and Clint.

For someone who professes to be a Christian, these two have a strange view of the State of Israel. I believe that GOD has stated that, "Any Nation that favours Israel, I will favour them. But, if any Nation should wish Israel bad fortune? Then I shall bring MT wrath down upon them." (I'm paraphrasing)

Careful, boys.
Thou walketh a fine line.

Boar Hunter| 12.28.11 @ 1:43PM

"And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you." I personally do not think God makes idle statements. For what it's worth Mr. Pennell, they ain't walking a fine line they are spitting in God's face and daring him to act.

Quartermaster| 12.28.11 @ 6:47PM

Sorry, but Neocon is not code for Jew.

Also, there is not a one to one coincidence between US interest and Israeli interests. They have also betrayed us on several occasions not to mention attacked one of our ships.

They've never come clean on the Pollard affair and are still trying to spring the man. A lot of what Pollard passed to Jerusalem ended up in Moscow and we have never been able to determine the damage that was done.

They sold the Lavi (we paid for its development)to the Chinese and tried to sell AWACs to them as well.

These are not things allies do to each other.

While teh quote of God to Abraham is still true, God also made a number of every scathing criticisms of his chosen people. They too are also still true and is what got them set aside because their hearts were hard and would not recognize the Messiah when he walked among them.

The anti-Semitic smear is on the same level as the raaaaacist smear of the left, and that's also where anti-Semitic smear originated as well. It is truly sad to see so much leftist spew handed out by so called conservatives among the commetariat on this site.

chuck| 12.28.11 @ 8:52PM

Sorry QM,

Jack is an anti-Semite. Pure and simple.

A lot of the Paul supporters who are posting here refer to those who do not support Paul as "Israel-firsters". What the hell is up with that? Why is everything about Israel to these people? Why the fixation? It's like the old racists blaming everything on blacks. Blaming everything on Israel is just a nicer way of blaming the Jews. We all know what they are talking about, but they get to claim that the REALLY don't hate Jews, they just don't like Israel.

Riiiiiiiight!

Jack in Wi.| 12.29.11 @ 12:09AM

Chuckie you are an Israel Uber Alles guy. Israel is the poster child for hate and racism. Israel should be thrown out to the company of normal states until it is fully integrated with equal rights for all Muslim, Jew, and Christian. The Holyland belongs to the whole world not just a few nasty racist Jewish sects. The racist entity is not worth one drop of American blood or one American dollar.

irish19| 12.29.11 @ 1:03AM

Thus proving Chuck's point. Thanks.

TrueBlue| 12.30.11 @ 11:08AM

Two things; 1) Israeli Arabs have more rights than they do in ANY of the Muslim nations. 2) Israel is holy to the Muslim religion only so far as Muhammad acknowledged Christ as a PROPHET (prophet, not the Son of God being the key part here). That's as far as the Islamic view of Israel as a holy land goes. The Temple Mount was a project by the king who controlled the area at the time trying to turn it into a holy site for political purposes. This has been acknowledged by several of Islams more prominent scholars (and not in the so-called moderate factions either).

And don't ask me for links or names, I posted this same thing over a month ago, on this site. You can look it up yourself if you're really interested in the truth Jack.

Grzmlyk| 12.28.11 @ 2:22PM

Except for those troublesome Jews, eh?

Jack| 12.28.11 @ 6:56AM

Ever since the cold war ended The USA has been involved in many foreign campaign's. They were all avoidable and most were foolish. The necons kept pestering Reagan to get into some kind of mess around the world. After he got burned in Lebanon he tried to stay away from them. Then they almost got him impeached because of Iran Contra. Bush the elder didn't give them much power and tried to get a real peace in the Middle East. They sabatoged him and then backed Clinton in the next election.

Gingrich and Dole treid to get support from theIsraeli Lobby by promising to support Jerusalem as the home of the American embassy and hooking up with the most radical groups in Israel. Clinton won the Jewish vote in a huge landslide, in 1996.

In 2000 the Neocons went in mass for Gore. When Gore looked like he was going down they moved over to Bush2 in the recounts in Florida. Bush gave them their old jobs back and let them run Middle East policy. After 9/11 they and their accomplises like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice got us into a disasterous war on worldwide terror which has been a total failure and is bankrupting us.

The elites and their controlled media are trying to stop any worthwhile debate on foreign policy. They want endless war and endless bailouts for the worldwide elite 1%. Dr Paul represents the rest of us who want our soldiers home with their families, defending these borders and shores not those of Iraq and Afganistan. They also want, limited government and sound stable money, not the printing presses of the Federal Reserve.

If this country is to survive as a Constitutional Republic, the Neocons must be driven from public life. They have been wrong on most everything possible.

jothepro| 12.28.11 @ 7:47AM

The problem is that the republican establishment is being so nasty and dismissive of the libertarian wing of the party that we will lose them in the next election. Pulling out this nonsensical anti-semite or racist card could be the icing on the cake leading to Paul's supporters leaving the republicans. If you disagree with the man, argue on the issues, not Trotskyite accusations.

Michael,
Jim Webb is nobody's lapdog.

He is a decorated Marine war hero who served in Vietnam, and was Secretary of the Navy for Reagan. He disagreed strongly with Bush on the Iraq War, and that is why he ran as a Democrat. The voters of Virginia must have agreed with him since they elected him. His son served in Iraq.
Webb is a patriot, not a lapdog.

Look at what's happening to Iraq now, and Obama has withdrawn our troops, and worse, Iraq told us to get out! Iraq would not agree to immunity for our troops if we stayed after Jan 1,2012.

Does anyone now think Iraq was worth 5,000 American lives, countless injuries, and one trillion dollars?

Let's be honest Mr. Antle, we know you are not a Paul supporter. But Newt or Romney? Our election hopes are going down the tubes fast. Four more years of Obama and we're toast. There will be unrest in the streets, and that's if we are lucky.

martin j smith| 12.28.11 @ 8:20AM

Meaningful debate is an admirable goal. The only problem is there has been hardly any meaningful debate on anything including foreign policy largely because f the system of " debates" that we have as well as the reluctance
of the candidates to be brave enough to confront their opponents and I really mean failure to confront Mitt Romney.

As for Ron Paul: I see him first as an I Isolationist--which is bad enough but I also have problems with his stance on Israel and American Jewish Voters. You know the saying an apple does not fall far from the trees-so in line with that want to know from Ron Paul this: If an American who happened to be Jewish supported the State of Israel and and an American who happened to be a Muslim asked him what his policy and view of the middle east problems I would say a "fair" answer would be this: This is a problem that both parties must resolve to solve together and NO OUTSIDE POWER should be involved in. Israel is our Ally and we certainly support the existence of The State of Israel as we do a State of Palestine.
Both sides must recognize each others rights to
exist in peace. My policy is for completely
neutrality unless say another power aids an enemy of Israel. The we must balance the books so to speak. Support for the State of Israel is in our National Interest. Anything short of that will be viewed as hostile to Israel and by extention to Jews because if Paul does not understand that Jewish survival is an issue for Jews then he does have Jewish problem

Clint| 12.28.11 @ 8:28AM

Dr.Ron Paul,
" While President Obama’s demand that Israel
make hard concessions in her border conflicts may very well be in her
long-term interest, only Israel can make that determination on her own,
without pressure from the United States or coercion by the United
Nations.

“Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how
Israel runs her affairs. There can only be peace in the region if those
sides work out their differences among one another. We should respect
Israel’s sovereignty and not try to dictate her policy from Washington."

Dr.Ron Paul Allows Israel and Palestine to Solve Their Own Problems.

You're American Spectator's Resident Israel Firster Smear Bund Boy,Tool Job.

" Ron Paul’s statement on H Res 268, Reaffirming the United States commitment to a negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations

Ron Paul: Mr. Speaker I rise in opposition to this resolution. While I certainly share the hope for peace in the Middle East and a solution to the ongoing conflict, I do not believe that peace will result if we continue to do the same things while hoping for different results. The US has been involved in this process for decades, spending billions of dollars we do not have, yet we never seem to get much closer to a solution. I believe the best solution is to embrace non-interventionism, which allows those most directly involved to solve their own problems.

This resolution not only further entangles the US in the Israeli/Palestinian dispute, but it sets out the kind of outcome the United States would accept in advance. While I prefer our disengagement from that conflict, I must wonder how the US expects to be seen as an “honest broker” when it dictates the terms of a solution in such a transparently one-sided manner?

In the resolution before us, all demands are made of only one side in the conflict. Do supporters of this resolution really believe the actors in the Middle East and the rest of the world do not notice? We do no favors to the Israelis or to the Palestinians when we involve ourselves in such a manner and block any negotiations that may take place without US participation. They have the incentives to find a way to live in peace and we must allow them to find that solution on their own. As always, congressional attitudes toward the peace process in the Middle East reveal hubris and self-importance. Only those who must live together in the Middle East can craft a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine."

Characteristics of a CULT;
According to the American Family Foundation, cult members display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment to their leader.

Warning signs regarding people involved in/with a potentially unsafe group/leader include.

1. CLINT demonstrates extreme obsessiveness regarding Ron Paul resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.
2. CLINT engages in programmed conversation and mannerisms to support Ron Paul.
3. CLINT is seemingly unable to think independently or analyze situations concerning Ron Paul.
4. CLINT is fixated on Ron Paul, to the exclusion of any other personal goals or individual interests.

According to Steven Hassan; cultists lie and use cult generated information and propaganda.

CLINT has adopted "loaded" language characterized by "thought-terminating clichés." The use of these "special" (or in Clint's case made up) words constrict rather than expand understanding. They function to reduce complexities of experience into trite, platitudinous "buzz words." CLINT sees no critical question about Ron Paul as legitimate. CLINT engages in "chanting" (saying or posting the same thing over and over and over again).

CLINT get help you are in a cult!

Nancy in NC| 12.28.11 @ 8:41AM

I agree with Ron Paul on domestic issues, but the way he articulates his foreign policy is downright scary, especially when it comes to the Middle East.

Most rational people see the leaders of Iran and Syria, for example, as no better than Hitler. They are tyrants, espousing the worst Islam has to offer. Does anyone seriously not worry about these kind of people having a nuclear weapon? Why don't we believe them when they say they want to kill all the Jews? Are we going to act like Americans of the 1930's?

Isolationism won't work in the 21st century. Like it or not we are part of the global economy and world events affect all of us. How can we ignore the tyrants of the world completely? Paul pretty much said that it would be OK for Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon...that is completely insane. Does he actually believe Iran wants peace?

We don't need to be the policeman of the world, but to ignore barbarians is to invite peril. Does anyone think the radial Islamist will stay in the Middle East?

Mr. Antle is a perfect representation of the neocon mindset that's destroyed the GOP.

His critique of Ron Paul's foreign policy is truly amusing, particularly in light of the recent debacle that is the war in Iraq.

Those of us under the age of 50 have had enough of these chickenhawks who're bent on crusading around the globe in effort to project American force and dominion.

Our foreign policy is psychotic, and thankfully Ron Paul is speaking the truth about these endless wars.

The RINOs who fancy themselves as conservatives can never answer how they'll FUND these crusades.

Wrap yourself in the flag and pretend like US interests have been furthered by these wars, that's the foreign policy Mr. Antle blindly endorses.

Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 9:00AM

From the Article:

"Moreover, Paul continues to attract some marginal supporters. Some are kooks and 9/11 truthers, despite the obvious intellectual contradictions between "blowback" and conspiracy theories alleging that the 2001 terrorist attacks were an "inside job." Others are bigots and anti-Semites. Paul remains convinced that it is more important to spread the libertarian gospel than to purge the undesirables in his midst."

BINGO. Anyone who's a frequenter of ANY political site knows what kind of people are attracted to Dr. Dementia's campaign. Surely Dr. Dementia himself knows. Yet he has not disavowed this block of supporters. Any other Republican candidate would be drawn & quartered for such associations, loose or not. Every time one of his mouth breathing, Jew hating, blame America/Israel Firster (gee, they sound a lot like regressives in that respect, don't they) acolytes hits the "submit" button, its like $45k worth of free anti Paul advertising.

Clint| 12.28.11 @ 9:15AM

" This year, Paul has 10 times the individual donations — totaling $113,739 — from the military as does Mitt Romney. And he has a hundred times more than Newt Gingrich, who sat out the Vietnam War with college deferments and now promises he would strike foes at the slightest provocation.

What seems, at first blush, counterintuitive makes more sense upon further review. There’s a long tradition of military people being attracted to politicians with Paul’s strict interpretation of the Constitution."

One of them was Marcus Luttrell, former Navy SEAL & author of "Lone Survivor." If anyone knows who Mr. Luttrell is from some of his clips on YouTube, has read his book, or knows of him for how he chased down the asshats who shot & killed his service dog, a lab puppy named DASY, who's name was an acronym for the names/nicknames of his fallen team mates, knows that Mr. Luttrell is not a man to be trifled with.

I'd pay Pay-Per-View prices to see Clint go up to Mr. Luttrell & call him those names. It'd be like one of those hyped up boxing matches that's supposed to go all 12 rounds, but ends in the first with a miraculous knockout. Except in this case, it would be miraculous, it'd be f-ing HILARIOUS.

You know that is where gangs of black women were infecting white women with AIDS. From Reverend Wright we learned that AIDS of course was created by the CIA so really the CIA was infecting white women with AIDS. Actually that fits as well. The government is building fences at the southern border to keep white women in the country so the CIA can infect them with AIDS. We are almost a police state you know because of the CIA and our military.

Occam's Tool| 12.28.11 @ 10:50AM

Well, given that Israel is more militarily capable than the entire Arab world and wins multiple more science prizes and does much more research, art, etc. than the entire Arab world, the answer is pretty obvious.

The Arabs are good for one thing: oil. Other than that, their contributions to world culture, science, etc. are minimal thanks to Islam.

Warrior | 12.28.11 @ 2:07PM

You are wrong. We do not need the Arabs for oil at all. Our known reserves are greater than the middle east. Also, from any research I've done, I can't find any significant arab contributions to the sciences and/or arts.

Israel is more than capable of defending herself. It has been the foreign policy of appeasement and our governments attempts to restrict Israel from defending its sovereign land from the arabs since Carter that has made the middle east the powder keg that it is. The problem with continuing the US foreign policy is that in keeps trying to befriend and make consessions for Islam and it's maniacal followers while condemning Israel for asserting its right to self defend. For the Paul supporters that have this backwards, they must realize that like it or not, Israel is our ally and we must stop the appeasement and rationalization we have that the savages that practice the religion of peace can be tamed.

It's sad that we can't have a civil discussion of these boards. I wish the serial Paul spammers would stop as they are hurting his campaign far more than they help it.

On foreign policy Mr.Paul is rather Cavalier with the facts. Japan bombed US at Pearl Harbor. Hitler declared war on US before we declared war on Nazi Germany. What ever WWII was about it wasn't about saving Jews. The RR lines to concentration camps were never bombed. Jewish Refugees were turned back from our borders...
Similarly Jihadists bombed the World Trade Center twice. Then we finally noticed they didn't like us. People like Paul believe that non Americans only react to us. They deny foreigners agency. They are fools.

" ANKENY, Iowa – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul won another local tea party presidential straw poll in Iowa tonight, outshining his competitors in a display of growing organizational strength around the state.

This local win follows Ron Paul’s endorsement by two Buena Vista-area tea party co-founders, his endorsement bytwo Dubuque-area tea party founders, and his winning first place in the Dubuque Tea Party presidential straw poll."

Ron Paul is great on fiscal issues but "sadly" sinking with his "reckless" foreign policy.

It's too late for him to rebound.

Jack Tomkins| 12.28.11 @ 10:20AM

Ron Paul has a history of hatred against Israel and the Jewish people. As his former aide has come out and stated Ron Paul favors the abolishment of Israel. He has a forty year track record of anti semitic statements. Ron Paul is nothing more than an older version of David Duke. All the Israel and Jew haters are coming out of the closet to vote for Ron Paul. Be careful what you wish for. Ron Paul is a very, very dangerous man.

rhoetus| 12.28.11 @ 10:39AM

Mr. Tomkins: You are sadly mistaken - under the rules of logic any gratuitous assertion can be just as gratuitously denied. Are you going to vote for Obama again?

Clint| 12.28.11 @ 11:12AM

Dr.Ron Paul,
" While President Obama’s demand that Israel
make hard concessions in her border conflicts may very well be in her
long-term interest, only Israel can make that determination on her own,
without pressure from the United States or coercion by the United
Nations.
Dr.Ron Paul,
“Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how
Israel runs her affairs. There can only be peace in the region if those
sides work out their differences among one another. We should respect
Israel’s sovereignty and not try to dictate her policy from Washington."

Clint does not understand how many Jews see things so let me splain and help him ( I know it is a hopeless case ).

In the US there are a variety of ethnic,religious and other interest groups. For example: Afrom-Ameriicans ( Black Americans ) often their "leaders" ( self styled don't you ) bring up the notion of extermination or genocide--referring at times to slavery.. So, is talking about Afro-American survival African first--NO

Hispanics are generally supportive of a libera ( and Socialist ) immigration policy--are the Latino(a) first --NO.

Muslims in this country not only support the "Palestinian People" but generally support Muslim causes including stuff that relates to terrorism even against us. Is this described and Muslim first--No

But--when Jews support the State of Isreal as a Jewish State that is Israel first.

And here is where I believe Ron Paul and his supporters like Clint are Anti-Jewish. But, I tell Clint not to feel too badly because I was not enamored of Clinton, or Bush I and II . The big difference is that these Presidents at least gave bit more lip service to Israel as our ally and all that rot. Ron Paul is too honest for his own good--but perhaps he has done a service with his honesty and exposed the ugly underbelly of our political system.

Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 11:37AM

I tried a different tack. Since Jack & Clint claim to be Catholic, & they refer to ANY supporters of Israel as "Israel Firsters," does this make them "Vatican Firsters?"

They didn't like that too much.

Dr.Ron Paul Allows Israel and Palestine to Solve Their Own Problems.


" Ron Paul’s statement on H Res 268, Reaffirming the United States commitment to a negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations

Ron Paul: Mr. Speaker I rise in opposition to this resolution. While I certainly share the hope for peace in the Middle East and a solution to the ongoing conflict, I do not believe that peace will result if we continue to do the same things while hoping for different results. The US has been involved in this process for decades, spending billions of dollars we do not have, yet we never seem to get much closer to a solution. I believe the best solution is to embrace non-interventionism, which allows those most directly involved to solve their own problems.

This resolution not only further entangles the US in the Israeli/Palestinian dispute, but it sets out the kind of outcome the United States would accept in advance. While I prefer our disengagement from that conflict, I must wonder how the US expects to be seen as an “honest broker” when it dictates the terms of a solution in such a transparently one-sided manner?

In the resolution before us, all demands are made of only one side in the conflict. Do supporters of this resolution really believe the actors in the Middle East and the rest of the world do not notice? We do no favors to the Israelis or to the Palestinians when we involve ourselves in such a manner and block any negotiations that may take place without US participation. They have the incentives to find a way to live in peace and we must allow them to find that solution on their own. As always, congressional attitudes toward the peace process in the Middle East reveal hubris and self-importance. Only those who must live together in the Middle East can craft a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine."

No when Jews put Jewishness and Israel ahead of America and use their influence in the media and government to get us into wars not in our interest so that poor goys die on the battlefield and Jewish chickenhawks don't shed any blood then they are Israel firsters.

Jim, obviously the most famous '''''kook''''' within the Paulista movement is our resident Clit with his C&P machine gun. I think many could possibly agree with SOME of Paul's policy positions [especially his stated desired agenda to seriously downsize our bloted/indebted government], but his failings occur within his KOOKINESS of LIBERTARIANISMS. To insanely believe that worldwide manical dictators should somehow be extended the hand of friendship in diplomatic fashion, or to be allow to ultimately destroy the world in the name of their utopian freedoms is pure stupidity and deserving of mental illness therapy techniques. Hitler, Sadaam, Gadafi, Castro, Putin, the Muslim Brotherhood etc, are all simply tyrants who will/have stopped at nothing [until stopped by mostly US efforts historically] in their desire to destroy all that do not agree to their insane religiosity or social dictates. It's one thing to rightfully assert that the US does not have the right to interfere with the legal operations of other independent countries, but to asininely extend such arguments to the unlimited proposals that these maniac-dictators have a right to destroy all opponents is simply beyond what Forrest Gump once proclaimed about STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Don't Ya Tell It To The CIA, The Department of Defense And The 9/11 Commission,Who Agree With The CIA's Michael Scheuer And Dr.Ron Paul.

" Michael Scheuer, who was the head analyst at the CIA’s bin Laden unit, Alec Station, and authored the books Through Our Enemies Eyes and Imperial Hubris, said “I thought Mr. Paul captured it the other night exactly correctly. This war is dangerous to America because it’s based, not on gender equality, as Mr. Giuliani suggested, or any other kind of freedom, but simply because of what we do in the Islamic World because ‘we’re over there,’ basically, as Mr. Paul said in the debate.”

The Tea Party Rebellion Is Here And In Iowa.

Scheuer also agreed with Dr. Paul’s statement in the debate that the war in Iraq was a diversion from capturing or killing Osama bin Laden and that bin Laden was “delighted” that the U.S. is occupying Iraq as it has become a training ground and recruiting tool for new jihadists joining the movement."

As a one time veteran - I have seen first hand how our foreign policy has hurt America. I'm tired of the media/politicians scaring America. It is now subconscious fact we must meddle in and occupy other countries for our "safety". Never mind we could decimate any country within minutes if necessary - For some creepy reason we have been conditioned to be afraid. And when we are afraid the machine has absolute freedom to spend uncontrollably and erode liberties our forefathers died for.

Do I agree 100% with Paul? Nope. But I did look at the donors for the other candidates and it clearly answered many questions. So yes, I'm a Paultard. I took some time to look and see why we as a nation are broke. The entire system is bloated and broken. Change is coming fast - we can't carry on as a nation spending like this much longer.

Change and unlearning is very hard - pull the flag and ribbon magnets from your view and look at things from another perspective. Question what you believe. Did you formulate that notion or inherit it? Is America a beacon by example or preemptive force?

I don't have the malice to insult others here - I respect you being informed and standing for what you believe is right...that's your freedom. Enjoy it while you can. If you didn't notice, the government has been slicing it steadfastly for the past decade...to keep themselves, er, us safe...

Welcome to the party RWM. I'm American born but my wife, a naturalized American from a former British colony much damaged by socialism and ethnic conflict has told me much of life under such conditions. It worries me as this country moves ever closer to the same situation. You likely know this already but I'd like to point out that American Conservatism is not a unified bloc. You wouldn't know it from the posts here, but the demarcation between Conservatism and Libertarianism is a fuzzy continuum, not a solid wall. Also most who call themselves Conservatives here would not be recognized as such by a Burkean Tory. Lady Thatcher is the only Tory that comes to my mind as being akin to an American conservative. Anyway, welcome again, and may we all hope that the LaRouchies don't come to this site.

Ah, yes, the LaRouchies! Yikes! I've had my run in with them down at Zuccotti (I've written about OWS - some very funny stuff, if I do say so myself).

But he sure as shit endorsed Cynthia McKinney! What a "true conservative!"

Resist We Much! | 12.28.11 @ 4:11PM

He endorsed:

1. Bob Barr

2. Chuck Baldwin (He thinks the South was right and should have won)

3. Ralph Nader (He can't wait for the day capitalism dies in America by his own admission)

4. Cynthia McKinney

From where I sit, it looks like the bus carrying The Paul Pot and the Paulistinians is leaving the station for Guyana.

Ron Paul did not endorse McKinney and Nader because he wanted them to win. He did it to open some space for the formation of more rational political alignments. BTW Barr would have made a good president.

Nick| 12.28.11 @ 6:05PM

Yoo-Hoo Margie?

I'm still waiting for those answers to my questions.

Do you believe that infants can sin?
Did Paul mess up when he wrote, in the same chapter, that "many have sinned"?
Did the Holy Spirit inspire the Old Testament authors to write that Enoch and Elijah did not die, and then inspire Paul to write that "ALL [pantes] have died"? If He meant ALL, as in everyone who ever lived?

Until you can answer these questions, your argument, or, rather, your flawed interpretation, doesn't have a leg to stand on.
God Bless!

Margie| 12.28.11 @ 6:21PM

"Do you believe that infants can sin?"

Apparently, scumbag, your filthy Popes do.

Isn't that why they see fit to baptize them?

Imbecile.

Nick| 12.28.11 @ 6:42PM

Margie,

Finally! It took you long enough to attempt a response.

You are getting closer to the truth, as Romans 5 is about Original Sin. But, you don't believe in Original Sin, do you? Therefore, your effort to deflect this back onto me, has failed. Nice try, though.

So, the question still stands. Explain just how infants can sin against Almighty God? Did Saint Paul believe infants could sin? He did say "all", didn't he? Did he get this wrong?

Also, what are your answers to my other two questions?

Did Paul mess up when he wrote, in the same chapter, that "many have sinned"?
Did the Holy Spirit inspire the Old Testament authors to write that Enoch and Elijah did not die, and then inspire Paul to write that "ALL [pantes] have died"? If He meant ALL, as in everyone who ever lived?

Yours, in Christ, Nick

Margie| 12.28.11 @ 6:53PM

I've answered you for a couple of years here, PUNK Pope Idolator.
And I spent hours answering you, according to the Bible, the other day.
And each time that I do, you lie and say I never answered you.

You do this because you are a flaming lying hypocrite and care nothing for the TRUTH.

Funny how for centuries~ since it's very beginning, Papists see fit to LIE constantly!!

And, by the way, PUNK: God's WORD NEVER FAILS.

"Every Word of God proves true; He is a Shield to those who take refuge in Him.

Do not add to His Words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar." Prov. 30:5 & 6.

Nick| 12.28.11 @ 7:04PM

Margie,

You have not answered these questions. Today was your first attempt at any type of an answer. Even though it didn't really address the question that I asked.

Your interpretation of Saint Paul's use of the word "all" (pantes in Greek) is flawed. Please, pray to the Holy Spirit about this.
God Bless!

Margie| 12.28.11 @ 7:09PM

"You have not answered these questions."

FILTHY LIAR.

Anyone can do a search under my name here and the word baptize to read for themselves.

PERVERT.

Nick| 12.28.11 @ 7:20PM

Margie,

Better yet, do a search under my name and my question about infants, and anyone can see that you have not answered these three questions, which I have been asking you for several days, now.

Even better yet, why don't you post a link to these "supposed" answers you claim to have written, Margie? You've done this many times in the past, haven't you.

The reason you don't do these things is because you have no answers to these questions. And, you have no answers because your interpretation is flawed and your argument doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Why did you keep asking where James was, in that other thread, and, why he wouldn't answer your questions, when you do the same thing? Isn't this hypocritical?

Nick| 12.28.11 @ 7:23PM

p.s. Here's the link, so people can see for themselves how you berated James, for not answering your questions:

p.p.s. And, here is one of the several times you asked James where he was:

"James| 12.21.11 @ 6:40PM

Nothing is secret about Mormonism - it's all on the internet.
God says he has mysteries - is he hiding something?"


"Margie| 12.22.11 @ 7:19PM

"Nothing is secret about Mormonism - it's all on the internet."
Including the Polygamy (Adultery) as gospel?"

"Margie| 12.23.11 @ 10:35PM

Yoo-hoo, Jamsey???"


"Nick| 12.24.11 @ 12:04PM

Yoo-Hoo, Margie?

Still waiting for those answers to my questions.
Do you believe that infants can sin? [...]"

Dimitry Aleksandrovich| 12.29.11 @ 5:24AM

Jesus was baptized too Margie. He was without sin. Don't you believe that?

shipley130| 12.28.11 @ 6:00PM

Maybe the bigots are those that are calling Ron Paul supporters a bunch of kooks.

Resist We Much! | 12.28.11 @ 6:21PM

Or, maybe, it is the Paulsamic supporters trying to clear the skies of "chemtrails" with vinegar? I mean, it's not like the Ronulians have ever given us reason to call them loons and kooks....

Resist We Much! | 12.29.11 @ 12:16AM

Well, then, who did?

Is the author still on his staff in either a paid or unpaid position?

Is he still palling around with racists, anti-Semites, and homophobes or just taking their money and endorsements?

If he couldn't keep tabs on what was going on at Ron Paul & Associates, which had less than 10 employees, why should we think he has the executive and managerial experience to be put in charge of the Federal government with its 2+ million employees?

You should probably read this, as should all libertarians, of which I am one:

The Tragedy of Ron Paul On The Cause Of Libertarianism

http://predicthistunpredictpas.....se-of.html

Rich Rostrom| 12.29.11 @ 1:04AM

You're absolutely right.

Ron Paul did not write any of the malignant nonsense that appeared in his newsletters. He did not then and does not now believe any of that stuff.

He just published this material (which he knew to be false and destructive) to make money off those who believed it.

Is that better?

spike59| 12.29.11 @ 6:43AM

okay, scooter, here's the drill....1 of these 2 scenarios is the 'wha ha happen wuz...'

A-he wrote it/approved it/agreed with it-in which case he's a delusional, racist, antisemitic, homophobic crank who enriched himself via hate speech...OR

B-he didn't write them/approve them/read them/agree with them-in which case he's a clueless MORON (who enriched himself via hate speech) who can't even be entrusted to put out a simple newsletter, SO...

choose A or B; there are no other possibilities, and each one renders Ronpaul unfit to hold public office

Drunken Sailor| 12.29.11 @ 9:40AM

Maybe not but he did sign them off didn't he? Or does he make a habit of simply signing documents without reading them? Not exactly a presidential trait.

Dimitry Aleksandrovich| 12.29.11 @ 5:17AM

It wasn't until Ron Paul entered the last presidential race that I actually began to feel some hope about this country. Whether Paul wins or not here is my prediction. If our nation's policies (especially foreign policy) don't radically change course we are bound for the dustbin of nations. Not only are we not meant to be an empire but we can no longer sustain Pax Americana abroad. End the wars, bring home the troops, close the foreign bases and end foreign aid across the board!

Ron Paul 2012!

Beyond this, one and all, clean out your
deeply infiltrated and corrupted churches,
get off the surveillance grid franchise slum,
throw away your credit cards and hurl the TV,
create your own coffee clubs ----and start
drafting your own candidates for state and
local offices.

-This we CAN DO!

Eric Dondero, previously known as Eric Dondero Rittberg before he dropped Rittberg from his name, was fired by Ron Paul because of Rittberg's support for Bush's Iraq War, contrary to Paul's non-interventionist views. Apparently Rittberg was not bothered by the lies Bush & Co. used to justify the Iraq War. Rittberg doesn't understand what it means to be a libertarian, although he was a Libertarian Party candidate for VP in 2004. Rittberg has cozied up to neocons, supporting Rudy Giulani in 2008, founded Libertarians for Bush, and supported neocon Chris Peden for US Rep.

Great message. He's either A or B as you posit. Personally, he reminds me more of Lyndon LaRouche and his mindless crowd.

rhoetus| 1.3.12 @ 9:46PM

Fox News is still maligning Ron Paul so I'll be watching C-Span for the remainder of the year.

We live in an America that is up-side down:
Where Fascism is called patriotism (Patriot Act) and national bankruptcy is for the greater good. Any attempt to fix the problem is called "gridlock" and the only thing about bi-partisanship is that it's treason.
