We are not/would not be intervening in affairs that are none of our concern is the point. The large amount of business and trade that we have with the world requires that our investments should be and will be protected from bandits (pirates, thieves, rogue nations, etc.). Without this, trade is no longer free or it is lost all together. Net result; economic isolationism.

Bravo – some one actually gets it. We need access to all the elements in the periodic table. Not just the ones you can get in North America

So it’s ok for you to call arabs dirt who are a useless race and for atheists to say that they f$%^ed

Well Gen. George S. Patton did. And he spent a fair amount of time in North Africa.

So maybe the observation has some validity.

Yesterday there was a post over at Hot Air denouncing Ron Paul’s recent video on Campaign for Liberty. Ron Paul was addressing the matter of Iran’s nuclear program. Here’s what much of the controversy is about:

No, no, no, the Ark is actually in a secret government warehouse being examined by top men. Top. Men.

It’s ALWAYS been about China.
They have not stopped their world domination plans just bcs Mao died.
They are hungry to be a world power.
They are only different from Russia in that they are more sneaky about it.
I have never doubted we woulod end up fighting the Chinese again-like through those proxy wars of Korea & Vietnam.

They are a THEOCRACY. Not a democracy.

Are you really not aware of how they treat the Orthodox Christians and the Roman Catholics over there?

MaximusConfessor on October 1, 2009 at 9:45 PM

WTF? I have to be honest, all I know about Israel is what I’ve read about (history out the wazoo, political books covering both spectrums & eye witness acounts).
I was under the impression from all evidence that Israel is a DEMOCRACY.
In fact, IMHO Israel often shoots itself in the foot by trying to be so PC.

saus on October 1, 2009 at 11:21 PM

It takes this guy to tell us the story, but I already knew it.
The Jews in Israel are the most accomodating people I’ve ever seen.
And yet they are still persecuted by morons, like the Paulnuts who have hijacked this thread.
Let’s be real clear here:
Israel is doing us a favor by engaging Iran etc.
We take the cowards way out when we force them to deal with this $hit all alone.
Sometimes you have to protect yourself by going down the block & beating the crap out of someone who keeps talking trash about how they’re going to eliminate you.
Ron Paul made sense on half his issues-this half he is INSANE.
My thoughts are like others here:
he’s an anti-semite jerk.

He has forgotten what kind of enemy we faced in the cold war. I almost see this as a continuation of it.

“What happens when Israel strikes Iran or Iran has the earth rays and we know that they now have a nuclear weapon, what happens to our financial system at that point?” Beck asked.

The libertarian Paul maintained China would become the world’s financial heavyweight and they were already making preparations to be the world’s top dog.

“I think the Chinese take over,” Paul said. “If there’s a real panic and oil shoots up to a couple of hundred bucks, the Chinese will dump their dollars. Chinese are maneuvering for this. The more we threaten Iran, the stronger the Chinese influence gets because they’re using the dollars that they have earned from us and saved, they have a trillion, and they are starting to buy up assets in Iran and build plants and get involved in their energy. So the whole thing is backfiring on us. We’re getting ready to put tougher sanctions on the Iranians and that will make things that much worse. It won’t help the dissidents in Iran. It’s going to cost us a lot of money, and there will be a bombing and that will be a big, big event. I think it will crash the dollar is what I think it would do.”

On the bright side, once they kill the dollar, we will finally be rid of the Craven Criminals on Capitol Hill (on both sides of the aisle) who brought down the republic. Beck thinks, if that’s the case, crashing the dollar is a pretty good idea and maybe we should just get on with it already. I would add, I do hope we will be rid of the filthy, corrupt judiciary as well.

(Note to self: Learn Mandarin, get more ammo, gold, silver, storable foods.)

As kindly as I can put it:

What the bleeping HELL are you talking about?!? Are you even reading the same posts I am?!?

You have no idea what it is like to grow up being discriminated against,denied jobs,opportunities and to be shunned simply because you do not look as white as the next guy. If you did you would immediately repent of your shameful and hateful actions. maximusminimus

You need to grow up, take your meds or both! I’m white and I’ve been denied access to establishments due to my color, legally might I add. I live in Japan where the EOC doesn’t apply. I didn’t cry or even have to seek sympathy from anyone. It’s whatever, I don’t own the store so I have no say. But their competetor got our business so it’s all good in da hood. And you need to lay off of your christian racism.

Just curious, how is oversight over Israel’s nukes by the international community?

LevStrauss on October 2, 2009 at 10:01 AM

Pretty well actually. I think the rule is as soon as they start threatening to wipe Iran off of the map then we’ll sanction them into submission, but we haven’t quite encountered that yet.

You have no idea what it is like to grow up being discriminated against,denied jobs,opportunities and to be shunned simply because you do not look as white as the next guy. If you did you would immediately repent of your shameful and hateful actions.

It doesn’t phase me that you think I am a “monkey” because I know the truth and the truth is,on my “monkey” side(like you say),my ethiopian ancestors had an advanced civilization and were christians while yours were still living in dirt and worshipping pagan gods.

And yes it is true that we DO have the ark of the covenant and ARE descendants of King David via Solomon, but the difference is we are Christians and know that religion can not be about race and that all men are equal before God and that all men are justified by faith in Christ Jesus and the True Israel is those who are His.

Runner you need to stop your hateful racism and stop saying your lies, such as that my people were simply “slaves” and “savages” who are “worthless” like “dirt” because of the color of our skin,because it has NO basis in reality! The reality is we were never slaves and we had an advanced Christian Orthodox civilization while YOU were in slavery and living a subsistence lifestyle in the dirt.

You need to watch it Bubba. You’re spreading your ignorance and your words DO have an effect upon those you influence.. all you are doing is spreading satanic hatred and discrimination based upon the color of ones skin! You are a disgrace to the human race and one day you will cross the wrong person with your satanic racism and you will pay for it.

arabs are inferior “Camel monkeys” who would be doing nothing but ”
herding goats” if they didn’t have oil and that they are “too stupid to even refine their oil and “deserve to be treated like dirt”.maximus?

this is incorrect?

1) has Demnetia

2) is an Anti-Semite

MaximusConfessor on October 2, 2009 at 9:54 AM

I did? News to me. Thanks for showing yourself to be a liar and a nut, in addition to a Jew hating antisemitic creep that you are. Those are just voices in you head bey the way. Get help.

runner on October 2, 2009 at 8:31 AM

I know that you are still extremely pi$$ed off about the fact that on this thread and many others I have called you out as the racist degenenerate that you are.

Do you know how extremely offfensive it is that you compare me to a monkey just because I am half black?

How many times have I called you out on your blatant and shameful racism when you have repeatedly said that we are comparable to monkeys and are a stupid and inferior race?

I don’t care if it offends you that I called you out as the pathetic racist that you are, who calls the President O’Chimpy and say that all “brown skinned” arabs are inferior “Camel monkeys” who would be doing nothing but ”
herding goats” if they didn’t have oil and that they are “too stupid to even refine their oil and “deserve to be treated like dirt”.

You’re a pathetic racist degenerate and you have the nerve to call me racist, when I am the only one who calls you out on your shameful racism(while everyone else sits by idly) and telling you that you make all republicans look like racist degenerates while you are busy trying to JUSTIFY your blatant racism!

I am not a monkey like you say that I am runner. You are just ignorant and a disgrace to the human race.

No one chooses what race they are born and it is beyond despicable for you to forment hatred of people simply because of what race they are born as, and it is extremely sickening that you attempt to justify it by saying “all other races are racist too so it is ok”.

If anyone should be banned it is you! You make all republicans look like KKK members because YOU unashamedly say repeatedly that all people of african or partial african descent are MONKEYS!

You are a disgrace to the human race.

If you were a Christian you would realize that ALL RACES AND ALL MEN ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD and that ALL RACES ARE INHERENTLY EQUAL!

You should be ashamed of yourself and should apologize to me and to every person that you have hurt and offended!

runner on October 2, 2009 at 12:05 AM

So it’s ok for you to call arabs dirt who are a useless race and for atheists to say that they f$%^ed God but if someone says anything about your ideology you accuse them of racism and cry out to silence them?

You are a coward and hypocrite.

Accusing someone of racism(especially when they are talking about an ideology or religion) is the last refuge of the liberal scoundrel.

MaximusConfessor on October 2, 2009 at 12:11 AM

Just a quick response before your antisemitic, hatelfull a$$ gets baned the hell out of here – you must be thinking of somone else, but , my ideology is very simple – you should get banned, you insane freak, and quickly.

Genesis 12
1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

He is an isolationist and a protectionist. That is about as economically illiterate as one can get. I find it interesting that you would even consider someone opposed to free trade to take serious, let alone ’second to none’ in terms of economics. I mean sheesh, Adam Smith even writes on this issue. One can hardly get more basic than that.

Again, someone who doesn’t take the time to listen to him or to read what he writes. Perhaps you’d like to explain your version of the difference between isolationism and non-interventionism?

Ron Paul is not an isolationist, and speaks and writes very often along the lines that the founders did in discussing exactly free trade with all nations, while remaining out of their conflicts.

Now, it is obvious to me that we are in a position that requires us to come to some finishing point in the middle east at some point. If/when it is possible to close out the threat of radical Islam to our satisfaction, I very much agree with Ron Paul’s ideas about non-interventionism.

Just realize, please, that military non-interventionism is quite simply NOT economic isolationism. If you try to equate the two, you come off like a child.

When exactly has Iran attacked us again?

Oh that’s right…THEY NEVER HAVE.

MaximusConfessor on October 2, 2009 at 1:37 AM

Dude, you’re an idiot, as evidenced by your Jew-hatred and now these new and strange statements. The Iranians are behind any number of clandestine attacks on Americans. They just don’t have the guts to admit it, much as you don’t have the guts to deal with it honestly.
