Crazy Ron Paul Still Blames the US for Islamic Extremism (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, April 25, 2011, 9:17 PM
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) told Sean Hannity tonight that he will announce his intent to run for President of the United States tomorrow.
Ron Paul also praised notorious anti-Semite Michael Scheuer as someone he respects on foreign policy.
And, of course, Ron Paul still blames the United States for Islamic extremism.

Message to Ron: The US was not around in the seventh century AD Stupid. If you cannot get simple facts right or wrong you cannot get my vote chump.

This guy is a loose cannon and 3 cents shy of a dollar. I want none of this guy
Fionnagh commented:
Sigh. He’s got a lot of diehard supporters who will vote for him whether he’s the chosen candidate or not. And all that’s going to accomplish is pull votes away from the candidate who might beat Obama. It surely ain’t Ron.

Creepy Uncle Leprechaun
american patriot commented:
Ron, we love ya, but you need to become better informed about Islam and Muslims. The good ol’ USA wasn’t around in the 7th century when the patterns of Muslim intolerance and aggression developed.
The USA, the West, the unislamic inquiry of scientific inquiry and so forth are not the causes of Muslim violence. That distinction goes to Big Mo and his hallucinogenic dreams he received from his moon god inside some cave somewhere.

Ehemmm….Mr. Paul……Gates of Vienna?
wanumba commented:
Ron Paul doesn’t even know his 18th century history:
Barbary Wars I & II
USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) at Tripoli
L.E. Liesner commented:
I never could understand how Ron Paul got that large group of followers. At times he makes about as much sense as Obama and at other times he is almost lucid. One think we know for sure, they are both racist.
GrayRider commented:
I love Ron Paul’s fiscal idealogy. But, he is so naive on Islam, terrorism and national security that he’s a non-starter for me.
Zachary commented:
Granted, Ron Paul’s views are…well…very, um, “Paulish.” Still, it’s rather left-ish (HuffPo-ish, MSNBC-ish) to refer to Mr. Paul in the headline as “crazy.” There are plenty of ways to easily, logically discredit Ron Paul. Let’s not stoop to thugisms and flame lingo. That’s the sort of thing the lefties are hoping we’ll do. Just sayin’…
Redwine commented:
What an ignorant nut!
jimg commented:
This guy is way too close to the Truthers for my comfort level.
I want nothing to do with him.
czekmark commented:
Paul has not made much of an impact despite his many years in congress. Time to retire, Ron, and let your son Rand carry the shield.
Ezekiel Z. commented:
Michael Scheuer is an anti-Semite? That’s setting the bar pretty low. Like, on the ground.
It doesn’t matter whether those here want to continue current U.S. foreign policy or rein it in considerably as Ron Paul advocates. The second one is going to happen, and soon, because we simply can’t afford it anymore. The only question is whether we adopt a more modest foreign policy in an orderly fashion, as Paul proposes, or whether the collapse of the dollar forces it upon us in a chaotic fashion. Those are really our only choices.
Empires from Rome to London to Moscow implode — and with great quickness — when their money goes bad. And it’s Washington’s turn now. See that spiraling debt, see that crashing dollar, see that militarism abroad? That’s an empire collapsing. And that’s what happens when you abandon sound money.
Ron Paul 2012. Only chance to do this in a nice way.
Bert commented:
I’m for Ron Paul unless someone better comes along. It won’t be Romney, Trump or McCain, that’s for for sure. You can can disagree with Paul, but don’t call him crazy — he’s more together than the Neocons who got us into the foreign policy mess, and makes more fiscal sense than the progressives in both parties who are bankrupting the country.
Jim commented:
There is no doubt Congressman Paul has a lot of good sound beliefs on fiscal policy. However, foreign policy clearly shows he is out of his league and grossly misinformed. Firstly, even if Israel didn’t exist, Muslims would find some other issue to whine, bitch, and complain about for one big reason; their unholy book teaches bigotry and hatred towards everybody-women, Jews, Christians, Hindu’s, Sikhs, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, et al.
Secondly, what Paul and Scheuer always gloss over is that there are plenty of conflicts and terrorist acts committed by Muslims that have nothing to do with Israel in places like India, Thailand, Russia, Sudan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipines, Algeria, etc. The problem is with Islam’s hatred and contempt for the non-Islamic not America nor Israel.
In summary, Islam has bloody borders.
jzaik commented:
F’in Ron Paul retards. REVOLUTION REVOLUTION>>>>>>
Not all ron paulistinians are nazis, but all nazis are ron paul supporters.
Medved is right about these 3rd party clowns.
Bert commented:
Just had the opportunity to actually listen to the video above, and my suspicions were confirmed — there’s nothing crazy about what Ron Paul said. The US cannot continue its oversees interventionist wars indefinitely. That’s not to say Islam is our friend, but the greatest physical threats to American liberty are the Patriot Act, NAFTA and illegal immigration.
The remedy is a President (and Congress) who will uphold the Constitution. He must be a Godly man — almost certainly a Christian. He must restore sound money. Most important of all he must lead the way to restoring our moral foundation. Read the books of Ezra/Nehemiah and you’ll find that before the Jews could rebuild their Jerusalem, they needed to rebuild their Temple. That’s pretty much where we are today.
The probability of Ron Paul becoming the next President approach zero, by the way. It’s likely we’ll have Obama for another term, or some Neocon. There are simply too many people benefiting from the redistribution of wealth, and their handlers control the media. The looting continues while we argue amongst ourselves.
squeaky commented:
islamic exttemism swept out of the saudi peninsula and that’s what it’s been doing ever since [or atleast attempting]. we were always isolated by the oceans, but not so anymore – a chorus of it’s a small world after all. being on record stating that the U.S. is to blame is irresponsible. we have more people attempting to make the case for the extremists to glom onto – –verb (used with object) 1. to steal. 2. to catch or grab. 3. to look at. –noun 4. a look or glimpse. —Verb phrase 5. glom onto, to take hold or possession of …..while one political candidate uses the nation/military as a battering ram in an attack on another political candidate without considering or caring about how this is interpreted. someplace in some sandbox someone is thinking this ron guy is right.
Tom63010 commented:
I can imagine a news report in the future : Ron Paul died Tuesday, funeral will be held on Saturday. In other news Ron Paul’s Campaign for President announced on Wednesday that Ron Paul will run for the 15th time for President”.
LSUfan commented:
It is interesting that Ron Paul bases his entire philosophy on the global Islamic insurgency on the opinions of Michael Sheuer. Michael Sheuer epitomizes all that is wrong with America’s bureaucratized counterterrorism apparatus. First of all, he broke longstanding CIA regulations at the encouragement of his politicized superiors to write a book while in active service. This alone makes him a scumbag in my book. Thousands of honorable CIA operators could have done the same, but none did. There is a reason. It’s called honor. Second, Sheuer had a uniquely disturbing career in the CIA. A career analyst with no field experience, he was somehow allowed to become a case officer and eventually found himself in charge of the CIA unit tasked with killing or capturing Bin Laden. He failed miserably. Moreover, if you actually read his work, it is readily apparent that Sheuer has at best a superficial level of knowledge of Islamic threat doctrine. He is appallingly ignorant for someone who was in the position he was in. This has resulted in his belief that we are only being attacked because of things we have done and especially for our support for Israel.
I ask the readers of Gateway Pundit:
Is Jemmaah Islamiya attempting to establish an Islamic state in Indonesia because the US supports Israel?
Are the Chechyan jihadists waging Jihad against Russia because the US supports Israel?
Is Abu Sayyef attempting to establish an Islamic state on Mindanao because the US supports Israel?
Are Jihadists attempting to establish an Islamic state in southern Thailand because the US supports Israel?
Have Nigerian Jihadists attacked innocent Christians repeatedly because the US supports Israel?
Is Al Shabaad conducting terrorist attacks in Kenya and Somalia on innocent civilians because the US supports Israel?
Are Jihadists attempting to create an Islamic state in India’s Kashmir because the US supports Israel?
Have Jihadists killed thousands in attacks on innocent civilians in Morocco, Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, the UK, Spain, Jordan and Bangladesh because the US supports Israel?
Are young Jihadis rioting in France because the US supports Israel?
Why is all this happening? Could it be that there is something more to this global violence than the simple “blame America first” concept that Ron Paul supposes?
Why hasn’t he bothered to learn about the enemy threat doctrine?
Have you?

Why won’t he just go away?
Jon commented:
Where exactly did he say ANYTHING about the ancient history of Islam? There are alot of uneducated lemmings responding to this video. Think for yourselves, don’t just parrot what Levin says. Muslim Extremists do use the USA as recruiting material, not saying it is fair but to deny that is just dumb. Another point about the 9/11 comission is that their report was incomplete because Sandy Burger STOLE documents out of the archives and destroyed them for Bill Clinton.
iWink commented:
Ron is the man. He knows how long America has been around. He was speaking in a different context. He is a doctor and he speaks what should be spoken at the right time to speak it. It’s a shame we have so many people who refuse to listen to this doctor defend our constitution and our borders and our livelihoods. He wants us out of the Middle East passionately and wants us to focus on us… the “United” States of America. I find it to be “puddle deep” to criticize comments and base votes on it. I also find it humorous that people don’t vote for the right guy for the job based on party or how his hair looks. Be an American and vote for the right guy for what we really need. Ron speaks it better than anyone else… he is saying all the right things and Washington could use some out of the box thinking with bite.
Mayur commented:
Ron Paul is the only peace candidate who is also pro free markets and individual liberty. What else could you possibly want in a Presidential candidate. The neocons who hate Ron Paul are unfortunate victims of years of fear and war mongering tactics of the State. Wake up, people. The “war” on terror cannot be “won” because you cannot fight an idea with guns. You fight ideas with ideas. Liberty is the antidote to Islamic extremism, and Ron Paul’s the one guy with the longest track record in Congress to defend it.
Robert commented:
Agree or not with Michael Scheuer’s conclusions, come on, he IS the world expert on Islamic terrorism. You can’t just dismiss what he says out of hand. There is a reason he is an expert brought on by Fox and every other channel.
Go watch an hour long presentation by Michael Scheuer on Youtube. He’s no “crazy.”
What is crazy? (or insane.)
“…doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
That would be supporting the status quo on foriegn policy from the leadership of both parties. There is a reason why Ron Paul is catching on.
Allison Bricker commented:
To those who still cannot grasp the CIA’s teachings on blowback:
Please learn to read instead of reacting in a knee-jerk fashion based on sound-bites and substituting it for intellect.
To keep this short, simply begin your research with the 1953 CIA led overthrow of the democratically elected leader of Iran, i.e. Mosaddegh.
Further, then ask yourself if China had built military bases in several of the fifty-states and further sent in UNMANNED drones into other states to bomb those opposed to Chinese intervention, if you as an AMERICAN would stand up and repel the Chinese invasion, or if instead you would bend over and kiss the feet of your proxy Chinese rulers.
The fact that we have military bases in over 170 nations, have been bombing Iraq for over 10 years going back to Clinton should resonate clearly with anyone who understands SOVEREIGNTY and professes themselves to be a lover of LIBERTY.
Your macho American Militaristic Nationalism does nothing for LIBERTY nor does it make you a Patriot.
SVX77 commented:
Ron Paul is the only candidate out there that actually stands on principle and doesn’t change his view as the wind blows. The fact that both parties call him “CRAZY”, in my eyes makes him the BEST candidate. I can’t count how many in Washington lately have said a vote they cast in congress over the last decade was a mistake, weather it was a war, debt ceiling, bailouts, etc. And that goes for both R’s and D’s. The R’s and D’s have brought this country brink and now you all expect the R’s and D’s to save it. HA! When will you NeoCons wake up and realize we can’t afford to be the world’s policeman anymore?!?! Just like entitlements need to be overhauled, so does out foreign policy. Wake up folks.
Guy Fawkes commented:
Ron Paul is the ONLY Republican candidate who is serious about limiting government. Everyone else is a poser. Romney? Mr. Government Health Care himself. Newt Gingrich? Don’t cut spending lets just “grow our way out of debt.” Is they anyone else out there that will actually reduce the size and scope of government? Anyone?
Tom commented:
Except Russell Kirk said much the same thing in the early 1990s. I guess Kirk didn’t understand conservatism.
When the Ayatollah tried rallying the Iranians against Western blue jeans and free speech, it went nowhere. Yawns. When bin Laden pointed to the U.S. government’s presence in the Middle East, propping up dictators, etc., he got a response.
Yes, there are extremists, and yes, Islam is an illiberal religion. But that doesn’t mean ordinary people don’t get ticked off when you bomb them on transparent grounds or prop up horrendous regimes. To think I used to be a neocon and deny these obvious facts, thinking I was thereby being “conservative,” makes me shudder.
Tom commented:
Ah yes, “anti-Semite,” the phony Right’s version of “racism” — the meaningless smear used to ruin careers.
Tom commented:
Russell Kirk, founder of postwar American conservatism: “We must expect to suffer during a very long period of widespread hostility toward the United States — even, or perhaps especially, from the people of certain states that America bribed or bullied into combining against Iraq. In Egypt, in Syria, in Pakistan, in Algeria, in Morocco, in all of the world of Islam, the masses now regard the United States as their arrogant adversary.”
So either Russell Kirk was a stupid “liberal,” or you neocons have been sold a phony substitute for conservatism.
Paul commented:
Paul will have my vote in 2012. This right and left trying to drag the country into Civil War has to end. The 2-party tyranny that has been pulling the wool over the eyes of the people for decades will no longer exist. By vote, or by force, the 2-party takeover of this country will be stopped.
Andrew commented:
I’ve lived extensively in the Middle East and speak Arabic fluently. While I don’t agree with everything Dr. Paul says, he has some legitimate points. One thing he’s definitely right about though is simply getting out of the ME altogether. The fact is we don’t have the money for it. And morally, what is the argument? We protect one brutal regime against another, and they stab us in the back every chance we get. We should either pull out completely or do as Trump suggests and take the oil for ourselves.
ed wright commented:
People wake up! To say Ron Paul can’t become president is in itself nonconstitutional.The only reason he couldn’t become president is because of manipulation of the system,something fox news AND THE REPUBS DID THE LAST ELECTION.Ron is constitutional,that should be the only consideration.The name calling shows your real characters.I have found that a lot of people to not like real freedom.They want to be free,but they don’t want anyone else to be free.They don’t even know what true freedom is.What I am saying is if you are anti Ron Paul you are anti freedom and don’t even know it.Buy his book liberty defined to know the real Ron Paul and not the fake one you describe with your name calling and lies.
Paul commented:
Anyone who disagrees with Jews or is critical of US Middle East policy is anti-Semite, right?
Ron Paul like any patriot puts America first, even if Jews do not like that.

Ron Paul has been right about everything financially. Regarding his foreign policy… I dont think we should be involved with the internal affairs of other countries.. Like china.

Rhinestone Suderman commented:
Ron Paul, blah, blah, blah, you all just want to vote for McCain/Romney/Huckabee/whoever! His financial policy is PERFECT, blah, blah, blah. . . If you dare criticize Israel, you’re anti-semetic, blah, blah, blah. If you don’t support Paul, you’re a Communist!
And so forth.
Ron Paul supports a mosque at Ground Zero, which pretty much says it all right there.
D from C commented:
Wow. The same old song over and over. “The R’s and D’s are both the same”, “Ron Paul is the only one who stands for the constitution” blah blah blah. Excuse me, but if Ron Paul is such a man of principle-why is he a Republican? Why is he not a member of the Libertarian or Constitution party? BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE WOULD NEVER HAVE A CHANCE AS A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE. So he’s using the very system that his followers whine about all the time. And I have to agree with many of the posts on here about radical islam and our involvement in their lands. I do believe we need to get out of a lot of these countries-we should not be supporting these crazy dictators, etc. Our foreign policy sucks. But I would bet anything I own that our leaving the middle east would do nothing to stop the terrorism. To blame us for islam’s hatred and terrorism towards the west is ridiculous. Radical islam’s one and only goal is to islamicize the world-however they have to do it. Period. They despise ANYONE who is Christian or Jewish, or Atheist, etc., etc., get it???? Our leaving the middle east completely guarantees one thing for sure. Israel will be attacked -our only real ally in the middle east will be besieged and Christians know that most likely that will be the beginning of the end. For all of us.
Captain of SoCal commented:
Something i’ve noticed our Jim does…
Anytime he covers someone he doesn’t approve of, he adds some ad homimom attack like “Crazy” Ron Paul.
But even better was trying to paint the Tucson shooter as a “pothead”. Lol! A pothead?! Yes, apparently being a pothead means you’re a Liberal? Or even better it means you’re a psychopath? Well here’s a clue, THIS pothead is a Libertarian conservative. And lots of Libertarians smoke pot, and vote Republican.
And many support Ron Paul at least somewhat because he is the only one that makes sense fiscally.
Use your words. Stop demogoguing people with irrelevant attacks. Use your words, Jim.
Rhinestone Suderman commented:
What Islamic countries were we invading during September, 2001?
Arafat was the most popular guest at the White House. We’d bombed the Christian Serbs in favor of setting up an Islamic state in Kosovo. We’d invaded Iraq, under the first Bush—but that was in order to help Kuwait, another Islamic country. We supported Afghanistan, during the Russian invasion. And we’d been putting pressure on Israel,to trade land for “peace” with the genocidal Palestinians.
Blowback, uh-huh.
As LSUfan says, Moslems are killing Christians in Nigeria, the Phiippines and Indonesia because of Israel; they’re killing Hindus in India, because of Israel, and they’re attacking Russia because Russia is a notorious supporter of Israel. . . um, wait a minute. . .
Let’s just build a mosque at Ground Zero, because, if we don’t, America will be betraying all its high ideals, and it must be a good idea, because Ron Paul says so! He’s a doctor, and, what’s more, he’s THE MAN!
/Sarc. off.
Rhinestone Suderman commented:
NEVER MIND WHAT RON PAUL SAYS ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY, OR BUILDING MOSQUES AT GROUND ZERO! JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO HIS FISCAL POLICY, BECAUSE FISCAL POLICY IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS! IF WE JUST IGNORE ALL THAT FOREIGN POLICY STUFF, IT WILL GO AWAY, AND LEAVE US ALONE! ANYWAY, IF YOU CRITICIZE RON’S FOREIGN POLICY, YOU’RE JUST A BRAINLESS SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL! AND PROBABLY A COMMIE, TOO!
JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO RON! HE’S A DOCTOR!
Libertarian Joe commented:
I just can’t understand why so many think Ron Paul is such a bad guy. Forget the Dr. thing and listen to his words. We were attacked, in part, because we have become the world police for all countries. We went from helping when asked to forcing our help on those that didn’t ask. Where has it gotten us except trillions in debt, soldies in the hundreds of thousands killed and millions of them wounded. Let’s not even talk about the thousands and thousands of innocent civilians killed in the process of “saving” them. I too have changed my outlook on America since listening to what true liberty and freedom mean. I found that out before I knew about Ron Paul but this method of though led me to his same principles. People like Sean Hannity can’t stand the idea of a 3rd party because he’s buddies with Newt, Romney and Bachmann and supposedly they know what real conservatism is all about. For those that attack Paul on being a member of the GOP, let me clarify it. He is a member and so is his son because in some states you can’t be a member running for office unless you are either D, R or Green party. The states don’t allow it on the ballot and I can’t see any of them giving that up for anyone else. They allowed it for the Green party because let’s face it… not many ever worry about the Green party. This man is extremely intelligent when it comes to our government and it’s limitations and every thing he does with his votes and politics is based on the principle of Liberty and equal freedom for everyone. Oh and for those that say he want’s a Mosque at Ground Zero… if you oppose it then that’s fine but to use our laws to not allow it is against the very principles you claim to hold sacred. I myself oppose anything muslim but I have my own opinion. I don’t however think it’s ok to allow a politician to use the law to prevent it and that is Ron Paul’s point. Oppose whatever you want but don’t use our laws to get it just because you don’t like it. Please people, you’re sounding like like Ed Schultz and Mike Malloy on this stuff. I don’t think one man is the answer to fixing all of our problems but he is definitely a good start and certainly better than any candidate to date. Even Ron Reagan looked up to him. Cheers everyone.
Demosthenes commented:
The reason I vary my listening between Mark Levin, Alex Jones and a few others is that one source of information is NEVER a good idea. If we are going to have a discussion, let’s try to educate ourselves into having our own ideas. Personally, I do believe that our actions as individuals are reflected, in brevity, upon the whole. Anything is possible. No one can get into the heads of any extremist, right? The best we can do as a country is inhale, instead of continuing to exhale, trying to put out fires that aren’t ours.
My biggest argument against our current foreign policies is how much they resemble those of the Eisenhower Administration during The Cold War. We tried so hard to promote democracy and capitalism that countries we tried to prop up would do whatever they could to leech off of our prosperity in that day. The actions today are the same, but the motive is different: Deflate America and let a new superpower come into being. The origins of our power back then was self-sufficiency. America was an industrious, well centered country. We’ve been spread out for too long, giving away our industries and being too dependant on trade. Hence the wars and this joke of a government.
Ron Paul is in the republican party because of that for which it used to stand. At one time, America was a republic. Look it up. The current GOP is completely different than what it used to be. Ron Paul is a shadow of that past… and sometimes, the best progress is made by taking a step back. Paul has my vote… as does anyone who truly wants America to prosper. It starts with The People.
Rhinestone Suderman commented:
I wonder; what Moslem country were we attacking, on September 11, 2001, that inspired 9/11?
In fact, we’d been defending Moslem countries, such as Somalia, and the KLA in Kosovo—as well as defending Kuwait against Saddam Hussein. Considering that, when we’d played policemen, it was usually for the benefit of some Islamic country, somewhere, it seems rather odd they’d be angry at us for helping them out.
And the Ground Zero site is not merely about property, and property rights, though I know Paul’s followers like to reduce it to being merely that, and nothing more.
It’s no more about “property” than Pearl Harbor, or any Civil War battlegrounds, or military graveyards are. And the Islamic desire to build a mosque there is memorliaize its triumph on 9/11—it’s not just about building a nice mosque, and inviting everyone in for falafel.
Rhinestone Suderman commented:
9/11 took place on American soil. That makes it very much ours.
And Ron Paul’s foreign policy is simply the flip side of the whole nation building policy, in that it seeks to appease our enemies, and give them what they want, rather than acting in our own best interests. The nation builders want to appease our enemies by giving them schools, and hospitals and democracy (whether they want the latter or not), and lots of foreign aid. The ones more on Ron Paul’s side of the spectrum also want to help our enemies—but they want to help them by giving them our ally, Israel, in the hopes that this will calm them down, and make them stop disliking us. This is, of course, ridiculous, since Islam’s hatred of the West isn’t predicated on Israel, and this does nothing to address Islamic conflicts in places such as India, or the Philippines. Eventually, if we follow the Paulian model, we’re going to run out of allies we can feed Islam, and we’ll find ourselves alone in an extremely hostile world, which we didn’t prepare for, because we were too busy guarding our property rights, or whatever was supposedly more important than defending our own interests.
As long as America exists on Planet Earth, she’s going to have to be involved, to some extent, in other countries’ affairs, as we should have learned during the affair of the Barbary pirates. No, nation building isn’t the way—but neither is Ron Paul’s appeasement/isolation plan. Both plans are about placating our enemies, rather than looking out for America.
Ron Paul advertised in Storm Front. He wants a mosque, built on Ground Zero. He blames America for 9/11.
Ron Paul is not on America’s side.
He does not stand for the Constitution.

Builderguy commented:
Many negative comments,as usual, about Dr. Paul. 1 of which was something more than spitting vile. I wonder how many of you have ever listened to his message. Obviously, very few. He is the only man I have heard talk ANY sense about our looming economic collapse. or our loss of rights of citizenship, which we are loosing at an alarming rate. Do these things mean nothing to Americans, any more? I am stunned.
Scooby commented:
People are so distorted when it comes to Ron Paul. Wake up and try to use the thing bewteen your ears. Ron Paul did not support the Ground Zero Mosque last night and he never has. He does support property rights and the government getting out of the way.
If the owner of the property does not want to sell or let them build then don’t. If the property owner wants to let them build then build. Once you start picking and choosing who can or can’t do something you’re no longer an American.
William R commented:
Michael Scheuer anti-Semite?? Quick someone better tell Rupert Murdoch because Scheuer has been a semi-regular on just about every Fox News program for years. Bill O’Reilly having a notorious anti-Semite on his show. My Gawd, what’s the world coming to??
The CIA has been telling us for years that our policies in the region are fueling Islamic radicalism. Hell the official 9/11 report said the same thing.
Perhaps we should listen to Ronald Reagan when he wrote in his memoirs:
” Perhaps we didn’t appreciate fully enough the depth of the hatred and the complexity of the problems that made the Middle East such a jungle. Perhaps the idea of a suicide car bomber committing mass murder to gain instant entry to Paradise was so foreign to our own values and consciousness that it did not create in us the concern for the marines’ safety that it should have.
In the weeks immediately after the bombing, I believe the last thing that we should do was turn tail and leave. Yet the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there. If there would be some rethinking of policy before our men die, we would be a lot better off. If that policy had changed towards more of a neutral position and neutrality, those 241 marines would be alive today.”

Rhinestone Suderman commented:
Because, of course, Ground Zero is just another chunk of land—just like Arlington National Cemetary, or Pearl Harbor.
(By the way, who actually does own that land? There seems to be some confusion about this. And what about the bodies still there, that haven’t been retrieved? Oh, stop questioning Dr. Paul! Just go ahead and build that triumphal mosque, already!
Because it’s all just about property rights, right?)
Rhinestone Suderman commented:
By the way, there was an Orthodox church near Ground Zero, that was destroyed on 9/11.
The congregation hasn’t been able to rebuild it yet. But we gotta build that Cordoba Mosque!
Some property rights are more equal than others.
paperisnotmoney commented:
I was reading Huffpost recently and the headline was similar…..Crazy Ron Paul thinking of running for president again…….something like that. Then several posters just repeated the headline with some variation of yes…..he’s crazy.
The islamic extremism is code for WE NEED MONEY TO PROTECT AMERICANS FROM TERRORISTS. The USA sponsored CIA helped to assassinate democratically elected leader in Iran. I guess Cia is professional Jason Bourne type and 9/11 highjackers are Islamic Extremists. Wake up “right people”. I guess before 911 we didn’t have enough money to stop cavedwellers in Afghani from flying airplanes into targets in USA. Now we need to go help Al Queda defeat Mormar Ghadafi?
We don’t have enough money to look under every rock…..in every cave…..in every email…..in every phone call……but let’s try until the dollar is in the dustbin of history and OUR soldiers come home anyway because their dollars won’t buy anything

Ron Paul in 2008 recieved more campaign contributions from active military than EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE COMBINED. Weather its because the troops want to come home, or because they agree with his foreign policy is debatable, but those are the only two possible explainations for it. you neo-cons want to cut spending, yet you refuse to look at the one thing that we spend on the most that is bankrupting our country. truth is Ron Paul might make an error or two on the spot, but who dosent? the fact is the the guy has read more books in his life than any of you decided not to read. he has been elected to congress twice, spanning 30 years. apparently hes doing something right. the only reason he has little effect is because bought off corproate whores in both parties get in his way. he fights for true liberty and freedom, while most of you are armchair generals, sitting home cheerleading death and destruction on tv like its some kind of hobby. WAKE UP, YOU ARE BEING NEO-CONNED.

With or without our foreign aid ISRAEL will exist. Their stockpile of nuclear weapons/ advanced weapons bought and paid for by US will suffice this impending “DOOM” they threaten will happen if we cut of the tit it sucks dry. I am not an anti semite because i believe that money could be better well spent on US. I do not get this. Our country is crumbling all around and you can find good reason to stand behind sending money to foreign countries. I love the bias also in regards to religion and liberties. Everyone likes to pick and choose what liberties should people have. That is communism that is socialism and fascism. So what they are building a mosque 2 blocks away from ground zero. We are at war with terror (a crime by definition) not at war with a religion. You say muslim faith degrades woman. So didnt the bible for thousands of years but o wait that is conveniently forgotten. More boys lives have been destroyed than in 9/11, by priest molesting them, so by your deductions catholic churches should be banned from school zones? Ridiculous and this is why our country is failing and our liberties are non existent. We are serfs under this system and you are all to dimwitted to figure this out yourself. Why is noone rising together over the broken promises Obama has made? End Nafta? He signed new contracts. End Patriot Act? Was renewed. End Wars? Hes expanded them. Left or Right they are two sides to the same coin. And you all just keep falling for the same crap. When Bush was in office Liberals rose to denounce his wars. Now the same liberals stand by quiet as Obama expands the wars and they even press him and support bombing LIBYA. God have mercy on this sad state of citizens we have in this country. Ron Paul 2012

One thing that you cannot refute Dr Paul on is his never changing stances. I believe in over 30 years the only thing he changed was his stance towards the death penalty. That says alot in a time of flip flop politics and empire building warfare. Please people awake to this just cause. Ron Paul 2012. You do not have to agree on all his stances, thats the good thing about him. He does not want to impose his will/views onto us; he wants to leave it up to our states to decide not our corrupt corporate government. And to all those who say he has not accomplished anything thats bullcrap. He has awoken many young people, such as myself, to this great cause. And his stance to stand by in what he believes is proven with his voting record. He was not bought and paid for.
