The Problematic Frank Luntz’s Stockholm Syndrome

However, if Mr. Lord is “unwilling or unable” to differentiate — strategically — between American response to Nazi genocide, Soviet Empire, and several thousand “freedom haters” scattered somewhere between Morocco and Malaysia, I’m not sure where to proceed with this conversation.
So writes Reid Smith here.
The problem with this is the tragedy of the things listed above didn’t spring full blown. If one goes back and reads the New York Times as late as 1933 one finds the “smart people” of the day dismissing Hitler and company as nothing more than exuberant thugs. The Nazi monolith began in a very real sense with the angry, anti-Semitic scribblings of an imprisoned young Austrian corporal in the 1920s. There were no Panzer divisions. No vivid reports of smoking ovens and burning Jews. To have suggested this could be a problem would be to invite precisely the scorn demonstrated by Ron Paul of the notion that an Iranian nuke is no big deal.
The Soviet Empire arguably began with a lone Russian Communist (Lenin) being smuggled solo back into a strife-torn Czarist empire in 1917. For that matter, the America we know today that Ron Paul calls an “empire” began with a handful of shivering Pilgrims or, if you prefer, a handful of Massachusetts farmers at Lexington and Concord.
The key to all of these problems is being able to do the difficult — apply human common sense to the facts on the ground. Closing one’s eyes to what can evolve is never ever a good idea — particularly in a day and age of missiles and high tech. This is where Reid Smith and I disagree.

Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, That is what they yell anytime someone wants to elimate the lavish loot that is pumped out of the American Treasury to support the racist pimple on the rear end of the Dead Sea. There is no way we can ever have a sane and rational discussion about Middle East policy, with people like Lord pumping out such nonsense.
David W| 1.5.12 @ 8:40AM
JiW, When you spout "racist pimple" you mean what? Israel or the so-called Palestinian territories. The fact that Israel has accepted blacks from Ethiopia would exempt them from being racists. The fact that Jews, "Muslims", Arabs, Christians live together with one another without trying to kill each other off (unless you count the occasional suicide bomber from the misunderstander of Islam) also keeps them from being racist. Given the fact that any actions they take with regards to their neighbors is intended to prevent their neighbors from slitting the throat of a 6 month old girl and then dancing in the street to celebrate the murder would also exempt them from being racist.
So you must be talking about the Palestinian territories, where they teach their children that Jews are direct descendants of apes, pigs, dogs, whatever. Where they follow the words of a false prophet who basically gave people like you the choice of either converting to Islam, staying a Jew/Christian but becoming a second class citizen (though from your post it looks like you ain't much of a Christian anyway) or dying. Who condone slavery and other barbaric behavior (don't believe me, then pay attention).
I would agree that we are wasting money by giving it to a group that refuses to recognize the right of another to even exist, let alone be allowed to live in peace.
The "racist" crap people like you spout, just like apartheid, obviously is a projection on your part.

"Ass clown." That's good. Very good. For a guy with an IQ of 36, I'd say that's witty. But for someone with your IQ, I'd say it's positively brilliant.
And no, I'm sorry to have to tell you that taking the IQ test while sitting on a booster seat won't raise it to 36, Clinty. You'll just have to get by with the three active synapses that god gave you. On the plus side, your IQ makes you an ideal Ron Paul supporter. And, when he's buried in the primaries, you can move on and get work as a support beam for a bridge somewhere. That seems suited to your skill set.
I'm still waiting for that list of people whose faces you plan to stomp on. Still compiling it, are you? Have you run out of crayons?
Oh, and by the way (and I hate to venture into the crude here) - in certain contexts, someone sitting on a guy's face is generally considered a good thing.

"An interesting article at Business Insider notes that Paul may have actually won Iowa after the caucuses were over:
That's because Paul's massive organizational push in Iowa focused on both winning votes, and also on making sure that Paul supporters stuck around after the vote to make sure they were selected as county delegates — the first step towards being elected as a delegate to the Republican National Convention.
That's because Iowa's Republican caucuses are non-binding — they are technically just a straw poll, so once selected, delegates are free to vote for whichever presidential candidate they choose.

Ron Paul is still going to end up with the most delegates from Iowa Lord. Aid to Israel and the wars are still being discussed, as never before, and the young people in this country are disgusted with both. Ron Paul has already won. No prowar Republican can ever get elected in this country again. First you pushed Bachman , then Perry, then Cain, then Gingrich, now you have reached the bottom of the barrel with Santorum. It has always been between the only 2 guys who have had a chance of beating Obama Ron Paul and Willard Romney. They will go to the convention with the most delegates and there will have to be an accomedation or the party will permanently fracture.
Mull this accomidation over in your fevered brain. Romney promises to cut all foreign aid, end the wars, and audit the Fed. He then takes Rand Paul as his vice President. That is the only way that Romney has a chance of uniting the party and beating Obama. Romney isn't running to be the butt boy of the neocons like Bush was. He is perfectly able to stab you neocons in the back, and you all know it. He does not want his precious sons fighting in wars all over the world. Nor should he, no father should. They will get my draft age sons over my dead body.

Dr.Ron Paul's Foreign Policy Advisor Michael Scheuer, Former CIA Chief of The bin Laden Unit,
" On Iran,The President should:
1.) Explain to the American people that Iran is no threat to the United States unless we or Israel attack it first, and then it would be a serious threat to U.S. access to energy and would likely stage terrorist operations in the continental United States. [The last thanks to 30-years of federal immigration policies that leave us without knowledge of who is in the country or what they are capable of doing.]
2.) Publicly state that there will be no U.S. surprise attack on Iran, and no U.S. attack at all on Iran unless the president asks for a formal declaration of war and the Congress votes its approval in a constitutional manner.
3.) Call in Israel's ambassador to the United States and tell him that we understand that Israel believes Iran is a threat to its survival, and that we agree that Israel has every right to defend itself. If Israel believes it must go to war with Iran, then so be it. But also tell the ambassador that if Israel attacks Iran, the U.S. administration will declare U.S. neutrality in the war and immediately cut off military and financial support to all combatants in the war.
4.) Speak to the American people and tell them to expect to be brutally propagandized by U.S. citizen Israel-Firsters through AIPAC, their ubiquitous media shills, and the men and women they own in the U.S. Congress and federal bureaucracy. Urge Americans to ignore this effort by U.S. Israel-Firsters to get them to send their soldier-children to fight in a religious war in which the U.S. has no genuine national interest at stake, and in which U.S. participation would further bankrupt the country, require the reintroduction of conscription, and put America at war with all of the Muslim world -- Shia and Sunni -- for the foreseeable future."

What I find most incredible about the Paulbots is there refusal to make an attempt at convincing people that their guy is the best candidate. It's either cut and paste (Clint) or name calling (all of them).
I hate to break the news to our Paulbot friends. There isn't enough of you to win the nomination, let alone the general election. I for one will not vote for Paul if he is the nominee, the same way Paulbots will not vote for any non-Paul nominee. Unless of course they can convince me otherwise. Cut and paste arguments and name calling will not work. When they start making intellectual arguments - cut and paste is not an intellectual argument, it's intellectual laziness - then I and others will stop calling Paul supporters Paulbots and take them seriously. Until then, it's all Paulbot all the time.

Iran has the ability and desire to become the Mid East regime of power. A nuclear capability, plus a missle capability, which now is active, less the Nuclear option, insures the success of the Iranian drive.
We DONT LIVE IN THE MID EAST. But we do use the oil from there. A Ron Paul FP idea set is really not much different than Obamas. Basically hide your head in the sand.
Santorum meanwhile, has the guts to stand for basic morals, basic values and apparently a somewhat more coherent FP.
The Nation will NOT survive as a Republic if we allow the Leftist and the RHINOS to push us over the abyss in the next four years.

What? We could be energy independent within five years by just defunding the DOE and EPA. We don't need the middle east for anything. Ron Paul's foreign policy is completely the opposite of our current White House resident.
What exactly is Santorum's foreign policy? Threaten Syria, plan on attacking Iran, continue to assist the Al queda in Libya and the Brotherhood in Egypt? In other words, a continuation of the Bush policies which Obama took even further to the left. Who are you or the Republican party to decide what the basic moral values of another county should be? Who are you to even state what basic moral values should be for another American? The arrogance of the public school educated American is offensive across a wide spectrum.

WEB Griffin used fiction to describe both world wars as "a failure of imagination".

Have you got your Ron Paul action figure or maybe his gunsel sidekick Clint? They are anatomically correct. Don't delay, do it today. Pull the string on Clint and get each of his five robo-posts in that familiar high pitched whine. Buy both and you get a free Jack in Wi. figure. Pull Jack's screen and you will get one of his 500 ethnic slurs. There are limited numbers so don't hesitate. Remember that Paul-bots are sicker than they seem.

Paul Sales: you are awesome...I love the use of the term "gunsel"....describes Clint precisely in all his roles for Ronpoo...
Grzmlyk| 1.5.12 @ 2:01PM
I, too, love the word, "gunsel." Reminds me of The Maltese Falcon; the character of Wilmer, played by Elisha Cook, Jr., is referred to by Bogie as a "gunsel."
Which brings to mind a great line from that movie, delivered by Bogie to the gunsel; it most definitely applies to Clint:
"The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter."
The dumber the Paul-bot, the uglier the patter.

Jeffrey Lord helped lie his country into invading Iraq to the tune of $1 trillion and counting, not including medical bennies for veterans which made the region safe for Iranian dominance, and he wants to be taken seriously on foreign policy issues?
Con Chef (NB) | 1.5.12 @ 10:56AM
Yeah. Idiots who think Islam poses no threat to us are CERTAINLY the people to lecture us on national security.
C Bowen | 1.5.12 @ 11:41AM
Islam is a threat--that is why the United States shouldn't have let Islamics in through the frontdoor, armed them in Afghanistan, worked with Osama and the KLA against Orthodox Christian Serbs, toppled secular states like Iraq, Egypt, and Libya and installed Islamic states; aid and support Islamic Chechnyans (a neocon project) against Russia.
Only a Congressional investigation could uncover the real reason for why folks like Jeff Lord are promoting such ridiculous policy.
tonypal| 1.5.12 @ 11:45AM
I'm sure Ron Paul will get to the bottom of this, right? Incidentally, it's Islamists. Small point, but try to get it right. It makes you look even dumber.

tonypal| 1.5.12 @ 4:56PM
So let me get this straight genius. Pointing out the fact that your too stupid to spell something as simple as Islamist makes me a friend to the Islamists? Got it.
C Bowen | 1.5.12 @ 6:06PM
No, tony.
Pointing out that you, and Lord, and Occam, support a foreign policy that has been a great boon to the expansion of Islamist states (let alone to the power of Russia and China), makes you a friend to Islamists.
You are either not that bright, or just lying about your real agenda.
Lets be clear:
Did you favor a debt financed invasion of Iraq with an army that featured girls, knowing that Iraq after the fall would become an Islamic state?
Clint| 1.5.12 @ 1:22PM
Yeah, Israel Firster Smear Bund Girls ,Who Attempt To Use American Warriors As Cannon Fodder For Israel's Agenda And Piss Away The American Treasure Are Certainly The Traitor Bastards To Lecture Us On National Security.

Occam is another Lordite who favors having Paul supporters killed and favors a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East to deal with the Arab problem.
Jeff Lord does not consider him extreme.
Occam's Tool| 1.5.12 @ 3:36PM
I don't favor having Paul supporters killed. I'm not the one "face stomping." And the Persians are not Arabs, Mr. Bowen. If they installed a decent government that didn't want to exterminate their neighbors I'd be happy to leave them alone. (Same for the Arabs)
But if you're going to shoot, shoot. Don't just talk about it. No Nation building. You want our enemies eliminated with the least cost to us, and with the fewest casualties to us, yes or no?
C Bowen | 1.5.12 @ 4:52PM
Occam--
Do you want me to link to the post where you said Ron Paul supporters should be shot? Or just cut n paste? Are you losing your memory already?
Or are you backtracking out of shame?
Do you want me to link to the post where you called for making the Middle East a sea of glass?
Because I save those links.
If you were any kind of Rightwinger, you know that the Other can never, and should never, be eliminated (let alone in the Bolshevik method).
I'd settle for just not inviting them into my country.
You just want the Bolshevik solution.

"An interesting article at Business Insider notes that Paul may have actually won Iowa after the caucuses were over:
That's because Paul's massive organizational push in Iowa focused on both winning votes, and also on making sure that Paul supporters stuck around after the vote to make sure they were selected as county delegates — the first step towards being elected as a delegate to the Republican National Convention.
That's because Iowa's Republican caucuses are non-binding — they are technically just a straw poll, so once selected, delegates are free to vote for whichever presidential candidate they choose.
"Part of what we've been training the Ron Paul people to do is not to leave after the vote," Dan Godzich, a senior campaign advisor, told BI. "Stay and get elected to the conventions and get us those delegates."

At some point Ron Paul will become the loony old man on the city street corner, yelling about things and gesticulating wildly. Passersby will ignore him or perhaps throw a penny in his cup.
Clint will be on the next street corner, urinating in his pants, and cursing at people for ignoring him.

" If she thinks we live in a dangerous world, she ought to think back when I was drafted in the 1962 with nuclear missiles in Cuba. And Kennedy calls Khrushchev and talks to them, and talks them out of this so we don’t have a nuclear exchange."
- Ron Paul, Sioux City Republican Presidential Debate
Hmmmm....the Cuban Missile Crisis was in 1962 and Paul Pot said during the debate in Iowa that he had been drafted in 1962, but his campaign website says that he served in the USAF between 1963 and 1965 then the United States Air National Guard between 1965 and 1968.
I guess he was a draftee sitting on an imaginary ship in 1962 when Kennedy made that imaginary phone call to Khrushchev to talk him back from the precipice.
Except....a Presidential panel studying the military manpower issue reported in 1970, “The Navy and Marine Corps have occasionally issued draft calls to meet temporary shortfalls, but the Air Force has never used the draft.”
KKKlinty, don't you hate when that happens?

Why are you bothering to argue with the Paulbots? It should be pretty clear by now that Clint and C Bowen are still living in their parent's basements with their pants perpetually down around their ankles. They spend half their day here at TAS and the other half looking at photoshopped pictures of Ron Paul in a speedo.
My suggestion is ignore them. They're useless. They are intellectually incapable of engaging anyone in a rational discussion. As we both know, Ron Paul has many good ideas when it comes to domestic policy. However, his foreign policy is nightmarish.
I would love to debate the ins and outs of Ron Pauls foreign policy with someone here, but unfortunately we have a bunch of children who think calling someone an Israel-Firster passes for clever. So once again, save yourself some time and ignore these clowns. They probably won't go away because losers of their magnitude never know when to quit. So just ignore.

And the premise of the Bush Doctrine is that America must spread democracy, because our national security depends upon it. And America can spread democracy. It knows how. It can engage in national building. This is conservative or not?"
William F. Buckley, " It’s not at all conservative. It’s anything but conservative. It’s not conservative at all, inasmuch as conservatism doesn’t invite unnecessary challenges. It insists on coming to terms with the world as it is …”
