Ron Paul Is the Tin Cup Of Conservatism

    Whenever anyone asks what is special about Iran, just why it is so disastrous for them to have a nuclear weapon that we must wage war against them if they try to make one, when we didn't do that with China, India, or Pakistan, invariably the answer is that they pose a dire threat to Israel. So yes, this whole thing does come down to a war for Israel. Since I'm not keen of seeing Americans die fighting a war for a foreign country, particularly a nuclear armed country full capable of defending itself, I get called an anti-Semite.

    I don't want to see Iran develop a nuclear weapon either. Where we differ is on the issue of whether this is so important that we must start a war against them. Wars have unintended consequences. Remember how 10 years ago we just had to go after Saddam Hussein because he was developing nukes? (He was the "Next Hitler" at the time.) Well, it turns out that Iraq wasn't making nukes after all. Ten years later we see that we have replaced a nasty dictator with bloody anarchy. And in the process greatly increased the influence of Iran within Iraq. Nothing good has come from the war with Iraq.

    I don't like the current government in Iran, and neither do many of the Iranian people. What happens if we bomb Iran? You don't need a doctorate in human psychology to realize that such an action would cause the Iranians to rally behind the mullahs and their government in order to defeat the Great Satan dropping depleted uranium on their country. Actually occupying the country would be a disaster -- it would make Iraq look like a Sunday picnic. If we bomb the country but don't occupy it we'll just have a lot of angry people more determined than ever to make a bomb. We will also have created a new generation of jihadists.

    If we just leave Iran alone and tone down the Axis of Evil rhetoric eventually more moderate people will come into power. After all, this happened in both the Soviet Union and China. But this approach requires patience, a virtue that tends to be lacking among the advocates of war.

  2. They're "special" because they're the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Almost nobody (who's sane) wants them to have nuclear weapons. Look at who has sanctions against them. It's not all about Israel although they did renew their threat earlier this month to annihilate Israel (which BTW your kook messiah has denied).

    Hope is not a method.

  3. And that means what again? Just rinse repeat the same nonsense. Totally irrelevant. This is more important than the military being the top donors to Ron Paul? What a bunch of kooks those military folks are. Why do you hate our servicemen and women so much? Why do people like you and OHmAmas hate America so much? He takes down his American flag after Obama was elected. Proud American!!!

    Must be easy for guys like you who fall for anything to point your fingers at someone who stands for something.

  4. Speaking of "rinse repeat the same nonsense," spare us your tired, lame implications about the extent to which the military supports Ron Paul. If you had a clue you'd realize the donations are peanuts given the size of the military. And last I looked, Obama's received almost as much from military donors. But facts probably means nothing to you because you're an idiot who's immune to reality. And spare us your asinine lies about us hating the military and America; at least 377OHMS and I've worn the uniform you phony. What have you done for the United States?

  7. Why do you hate our troops and the country by denigrating who they donate most to in this campaign? You want them to go to fight your frothy battles but discount their donations to Ron Paul which exceed all other candidates combined by 6 times. Why?

  8. Because he is a pathetic piece of shit



    I'd also like to mention that Ron Paul is a Veteran who left his family to serve this country and cares more about our troops then any other candidate including The President

  10. Have you ever worn the uniform like 377OHMS and I have? Would you run away to Canada if called to serve? Do your parents think you're mentally ill as did the parents of the 9/11 truther who runs Ron Paul's Super PAC?
