Sure hope Ron Paul does not go overboard with his 'tyranny' remarks and talks more about a future of 'freedom'. We are close to a winner here. All he has to do is talk about improving our freedom. Everyone already knows the problems we are facing. ^^ gravity is a harsh reality. ^^ |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 310936You mean someone is actually popular with their 'supporters'? I am shocked... Actually I meant exactly what I said, although it sounds redundant and silly...I have NEVER seen a politician who is SO LOVED by his supporters, it sounds more like a rock concert at this rally then it does a political event... So yeah, I have never heard or felt that level of love from a political "base"...go to any video of Hillary or Guilianni crowd, I guarentee you they do not get this level of excitement going... So yes...he is VERY popular with his supporters! |

D. Bunker User ID: 283716 United States 10/14/2007 11:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | by Ron Paul Before the U.S. House of Representatives, July 20, 2006 I rise in opposition to this resolution, which I sincerely believe will do more harm than good. I do agree with the resolution's condemnation of violence. But I am convinced that when we get involved in foreign conflicts and send strong messages, such as this resolution will, it ends up expanding the war rather than diminishing the conflict, and that ultimately comes back to haunt us. Mr. Speaker, I follow a policy in foreign affairs called non-interventionism. I do not believe we are making the United States more secure when we involve ourselves in conflicts overseas. The Constitution really doesn't authorize us to be the policemen of the world, much less to favor one side over another in foreign conflicts. It is very clear, reading this resolution objectively, that all the terrorists are on one side and all the victims and the innocents are on the other side. I find this unfair, particularly considering the significantly higher number of civilian casualties among Lebanese civilians. I would rather advocate neutrality rather than picking sides, which is what this resolution does. Some would say that there is no room to talk about neutrality, as if neutrality were a crime. I would suggest there should be room for an open mind to consider another type of policy that may save American lives. I was in Congress in the early 1980s when the US Marines were sent in to Lebanon, and I came to the Floor before they went, when they went, and before they were killed, arguing my case against getting involved in that conflict. Ronald Reagan, when he sent the troops in, said he would never turn tail and run. Then, after the Marines were killed, he had a reassessment of the policy. When he wrote his autobiography a few years later after leaving the Presidency, he wrote this. 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. It is very easy to criticize the Government of Lebanon for not doing more about Hezbollah. I object to terrorism committed by Hezbollah because I am a strong opponent to all violence on all sides. But I also object to the unreasonable accusations that the Government of Lebanon has not done enough, when we realize that Israel occupied southern Lebanon for 18 years and was not able to neutralize Hezbollah. Mr. Speaker, There is nothing wrong with considering the fact that we don't have to be involved in every single fight. That was the conclusion that Ronald Reagan came to, and he was not an enemy of Israel. He was a friend of Israel. But he concluded that that is a mess over there. Let me just repeat those words that he used. He said, he came to the conclusion, "The irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there.'' I believe these words are probably more valid now even than when they were written.

FIFTH INSTAR (OP) User ID: 311521 Canada 10/14/2007 11:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Does Ron Paul share your position on Israel? Quoting: D. Bunker I believe yes, and no... He is not critical of Israel as I am...thinking that they are openly subverting our system and hijacking it for their own aims, however his policies would effectively deal with the problem, so it doesn't really matter... Without "entangling alliances" Israel will either wither on the vine or be forced to fight it's own battles...and if Israel wants to blow the middle east to kingdom come, let them have at it... The Arabs and the Jews will probably still be fighting in hell...if we creat a moonbase, then they'll fight there, and if we colonize another galaxy then they will fight there... They are both fanatical freaks who will just never stop fighting until they genocide each other...so once Israels strangle hold on this country is abolished, who gives a shit what happens to them? Ron Pauls policy of taking back control of the money supply will end their influence a great deal, and eventually enough people will get clued in to what the Israeli people have done to us here, and they will no longer be coddled as victims, but seen as leeches and parasites... I think that Israel's influence is dwindling even now, people are waking up. I don't expect that to just stop, but rather to grow. Alone the knowledge is not enough to stop them, but coupled with policies of small government and destruction of the Fed...nail in the coffin... |

I can see your point. I essentially assess him as more isolationist/nationalist than the standard party machine will usually digest. This is not necessarily a poor strategy. I liked his speech that I posted. :savetata: Favorite Quote - "I just fucking love outer space, it has all those planets and stars and shit." - Mister Obvious 2009 |
