After reading the article here entitled “The Problem with (Ron) Paul” I felt the need to comment on it as it the writer, Anthony W Hager, used the Neocon playbook to justify America’s Imperialism Foreign Policy.
The article starts off by praising Ron Paul for his views on domestic policies but when the article turns to his views on Foreign Policy, the authors didn’t even try to hide his jingoism.
Rule 1: Lump all people from the Middle East together and label them as Terrorist;
Much like 9/11, the official story surrounding the circumstances of Osama Bin Laden’s death do not the smell test of anyone who is remotely connected to reality. This did not, however, stop the enactment of the Patriot Act or the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Much like all self serving politicians, Sen Schumer has proposed a ‘no-ride list’ for trains based on “intelligence gleaned from the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound”.
It’s all for the safety of the public they tell us.
I awoke this morning to the prospect of another day of mind numbing diatribes on TV analysing every possible conceivable thing about the Royal Wedding…… but today was different. I figured we must have moved on from the Royal Wedding nonsense when whatever MSN channel I was watching this morning had the background track of ’USA, USA, USA!’.

Ron Paul burst into the mainstream in 2008 with his campaign to become President. Since then, his popularity has grown as demonstrated with winning the CPAC nomination 2 years in a row. Due to many people clinging onto the status quo due to it benefiting them, many people have come out attacking Ron Paul. For the most part, these attacks are not coherent and obfuscate issues in order to bamboozle the average American into believing Ron Paul is a dreamer and that his ideas have no place in the modern world. Every now and again though, an article is published which is coherent and is in need of rebuttal. One paricular article is by a gentleman called Rick Ungar and is entitled ‘Ron Paul Pushes Financial Crack To America’s Working Youth‘.
