Presidential candidate Ron Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy which aligns with our first president’s philosophy about foreign entanglements seems to be a thorn in the side of the established Republicans who feel Israel must be an exception even though its Prime Minister says they do not need the financial aid. Being a consummate Libertarian, Paul makes no exceptions which brings the wrath of God on his head by the evangelical community.
For decades the GOP establishment figures the sheep will vote for any Republican candidate it chooses. If Paul doesn’t win, rather than not vote at all, the least we can do is go to the polls to vote for strong conservative people to be elected to the Senate and the House of Representatives where all appropriation bills originate and we surely must believe this time around any of those running for president on the GOP ticket will be better than Obama; however, never underestimate Barack and his well-oiled campaign and all his forced union dues money.
When Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) filed once again to run for President, he found RINOs hard pressed to even mention his name not alone say they’ll vote for him if he wins. It’s such a double standard and many voters are getting tired of voting the lesser of two evils but we’ve been burned so often by the smaller government rhetoric, which is now being advocated by Obama also, that we just don’t trust them anymore but I have to admit Gingrich really kicked butt at the South Carolina debate on the 16th receiving the first-ever standing ovation. Now, if we could only believe he wouldn’t flip flop again.
Paul’s persistent message has been resonating with more and more disgruntled Republicans, Independents and Democrats. Many Republicans are former Democrats who exited that party in the 60s when it began patronizing left-wing radicalism. For example, after the Watts Riots in 1965, which the Communists admitted they spent two years to foment, the Communists brought out this pamphlet entitled: “Watts Upsurge: A Communist Appraisal” indicating the challenge of the Watts explosion could be met only by a truly massive program of more government entitlements. This created more dependency on government by the slothful and class warfare and the eventual “white guilt” that elected Obama in 2008. Nothing happens by accident in government.
After Watts, Democrat leaders apologized to the rioters and gave them whatever they wanted and now we have the spoiled Occupy “Squatters.” While I doubt Presidential candidate Ron Paul supports the movement with its chaos and disruption in our communities, he can feel their sense of frustration because he’s been there – done that with his message for years only to be rebuffed and criticized by GOP leaders, the conservative media who seem to be Paul’s worst enemies stooping so low as to call him a racist! This is why we are seeing a variety of strange bedfellows and a blending of different causes including some of his Libertarian views agreeing with the liberal American Civil Liberties Union, for instance, which we’ve known for a long time, is a front for the Communist Party.

We give a little money to Israel and a whole lot more to muslims countries that surround it and somehow that proves we are supporting Israel. The numbers I saw was 3 billion to Israel and 18 billion to muslims. So all we really want to do is keep hostilities going everywhere we can. How about cutting all foreign aid and we stop trying to buy friends with my money. They don’t stay bought and they use the money to turn dictators into billionaires.
This is why Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who can save this country. Israel neither wants nor needs our help, so why are we sending it aid? That money is sorely needed to address our horrifying budget deficit and national debt. And if Israel is our friend, why are we sending money to its surrounding enemies? Again, that money is needed here.
Thomas Jefferson said it best: Trade with all, alliances with none. That’s not isolationist, it’s non-intervention. It’s our intervention that creates enemies, causes our young men and women to be killed in unnecessary wars, and bankrupts our nation. Our troops are needed for defense, not offense. We have failed to protect our borders, and our southern border states are suffering for it. One of the very few mandates of our Constitution is to protect our borders, and that’s the only excuse for a standing army.
Let’s put our armed forces where the Constitution says to , thereby protecting our American workers from displacement by illegal aliens, and our cities from gang wars over drug importation.
And on that point, if drugs were legal and taxed, it would solve the dual problems of drug enforcement and the budget. Didn’t we learn anything from prohibition? Your can’t legislate morals! Educate, not legislate. While there will always be a small percentage of self-destructive people who will find a way to harm themselves no matter what laws are passed, potential “thrill” drug users can be educated away from the danger of now-illegal drugs just as we have educated the general population on the dangers of overindulgence in alcohol.
Amen Rhuland! It’s time that people actually read Ron Paul’s stance on the issues from his website rather than listening to hearsay.
