Ron Paul: the brothel candidate

the main thing that the Stormfront people like about him is his very strange take on foreign policy.

the key to Paul’s foreign policy and how dangerous it is, is to point out the the sane few Paul supporters, that his FP assumes that “Man is good”. Its the only way to rationalize that “if we just leave them alone” i.e. “non-interventionism” even against our biggest enemies like the Islamic-Nihilist…..they will suddenly return the favor and leave us alone and then we can hold hands and sing kumbaya with them. The guy’s Foreign policy is either insane or has an alterior motive(possibly to help destroy Israel?).

Ron Paul, the one candidate that has COMMUNIST support along with NAZI support. THis should give a thinking person alot to think about.

here is pauls’ ‘reasoning’: Suicide Terroism

he is relying on a professor who is ignorant of religion and Islam, and links all terrorism to Nationalism instead. Robert Pape. Paul is a fool, he’s assuming man is fundamentally ‘good’ at heart. He is Noam Chomsky on this stuff.

The clincher is this: the strongest motivation, according to Pape, is not religion but rather a desire “to compel modern democracies to withdraw military forces from the territory the terrorists view as their homeland.”

The best news is that if stopping suicide terrorism is a goal we seek, a solution is available to us. Cease the occupation of foreign lands and the suicide missions will cease. Between 1982 and 1986, there were 41 suicide terrorist attacks in Lebanon. Once the U.S., the French, and Israel withdrew their forces from Lebanon, there were no more attacks. The reason the attacks stop, according to Pape, is that the Osama bin Ladens of the world no longer can inspire potential suicide terrorists despite their continued fanatical religious beliefs.

Pape is convinced after his extensive research that the longer and more extensive the occupation of Muslim territories, the greater the chance of more 9/11-type attacks on the U.S.

Paul, and Pape, are fools. a simple reading of Robert Spencer shows that, as should common sense and world history. See the rise of Hitler while the US was passing one “Neutrality Act” after another and Britain was ignoring Churchill and listening to Chamberline.

It was STRICTLY isolationist.

this is a lie, the US military has been deployed outside our borders nearly 200 times since inception. Going back to the days of the founding fathers.

Michael Medved had a great column(s) on this lie recently:

Responding to lies about America’s “isolationist” past and “imperialist” present

“The idea that America was ever an isolationist nation is a myth, a useful myth to be sure, but nonetheless a malevolent myth that approaches the status of a big lie…. What is derided today as isolationism was the foreign policy under which the Republic grew from thirteen states on the Atlantic into a continent-wide nation that dominated the hemisphere and whose power reached to Peking….To call the foreign policy that produced this result “isolationist” is absurd. Americans were willing to go to war with the greatest powers in Europe, but only for American interests. They had no wish to take sides in European wars in which America had no stake.”

we don’t intervene in Darfur or Tibet, because unfortunately for them we don’t have national interest at stake there. We do in the Middle East, on multiple levels. but atleast Buchanan recognizes we were never an isolatinist/non-interventionist nation.

I think Ann Coulter has the right take on this, she says if you are going to hold this view stick with Pat Buchanan and steer clear of Ron Paul. She doesn’t think to highly of paul and what he’s doing, but respects buchanan, big difference.

the same sort of American Interest are at stake now in the Middle East, that were at stake when Jefferson took us into the Barbary Wars against Islamic extrememist. Except magnified significantly because of how the world has changed, its mind boggling people can’t see it.
