Neo-con Roll Call: The TRUTH About Ron Paul Haters
Post Date: 2012-01-02 12:55:26 by jwpegler

Let's get to the truth about the neo-cons... Three questions for people who are against Ron Paul: 1.) Why do you want Americans to subsidize the military defense of rich countries in Europe, Japan, and South Korea 57 years after WWII ended and 22 years after the Cold War ended. Our subsidies put America at an economic disadvantage against those countries, because they don't have to spend as much on defense as we do because we subsidize them. Why do you want to hurt your fellow countrymen and give our competitors an advantage in the global economy? 2.) Why do you blindly support Israel's interests over the America's? Are you a dispensationalist Christian trying to bring ...
4.0 earthquake strikes in US

McDONALD, Ohio (AP) — Officials said Saturday they believe the latest earthquake activity in northeast Ohio is related to the injection of wastewater into the ground near a fault line, creating enough pressure to cause seismic activity. The brine wastewater comes from drilling operations that use the so-called fracking process to extract gas from underground shale. But Ohio Department of Natural Resources Director Jim Zehringer said during a news teleconference that fracking is not causing the quakes. "The seismic events are not a direct result of fracking," he said. Environmentalists and property owners who live near gas drilling wells have questioned the safety of ...
Ron Paul Goes Full Metal Truther

I’ve been waiting for quite a while for Ron Paul to just come out and admit he’s a 9/11 truther. Frankly, I thought it would happen a long time before now. It has taken so long, in fact, that I had started to doubt whether he would ever do it. However, I guess his Iowa polling numbers must have him feeling his oats, because he finally let slip (apologies to those who cannot view the video in IE, we are working to fix the technical issue. Original video may be found here): And it’s… just think of what happened after 9/11. Immediately, before there was any assessment, there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq. So the war drums beat… ...
Ex-Aide Says Ron Paul Is a 9/11 Truther & Isolationist Who Thinks U.S. Shouldn't Have Fought Hitler [Full Thread]

A former Ron Paul staffer named Eric Dondero, who worked closely with the Texas congressman and presidential candidate over the course of 15 years, has issued a statement in which he both defends his old boss from charges of racism and anti-Semitism and reveals damning new details about about the "sheer lunacy of [Paul's] foreign policy views". First, Dondero claims that his old boss is such an extreme isolationist that "he strenuously does not believe the United States had any business getting involved in fighting Hitler in WWII. He expressed to me countless times, that 'saving the Jews,' was absolutely none of our business." Second, Dondero writes that ...
Gingrich: I feel 'Romney-boated' from attack ads

DES MOINES -- Newt Gingrich says he feels as though he's been "Romney-boated." The former House speaker today continued his condemnation of attack ads directed at him by an independent group backing GOP rival Mitt Romney. Gingrich also charged earlier in the day that Romney "would buy the election if he could." Gingrich was playing off the term "swift boating," which was coined in the 2004 presidential race about the negative ad campaign directed at Democratic nominee John Kerry. That barrage was funded by a group known as Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which sought to discredit Kerry's military service. An analysis released last week showed 45% of ...
Paul wants to check Fort Knox for gold

POLITICO's James Hohmann reports from Atlantic, Iowa: Ron Paul said Thursday that he’s eager to find out how much gold the United States really owns. A supporter at a town hall meeting asked about Fort Knox: “Would you reveal as president whether there’s actually gold there?” Here is Paul’s full response: “Yes, and if I couldn’t accomplish that then there’s big trouble in this country. I may need to get some help for you. I tried for years to do this…I never went to Fort Knox. I made a request when the gold commission came up in the early 1980s. We had a study of the role of gold in the monetary system. There were 17 members, and I ...
Analysis: U.S. fighter sales soar in time for campaign

(Reuters) - Booming Middle East purchases of U.S. fighter jets will be a bright spot in what is expected to be a sluggish economy in 2012, possibly paying dividends for President Barack Obama's bid for a second term. Beneficiaries include Lockheed Martin Corp and Boeing Co, whose respective F-16 and F-15 production lines are being extended by U.S. government sales to Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Oman, among other rich arms deals announced in recent weeks. The foreign sales will help offset expected cuts in big-ticket purchases by the Defense Department, which is set to lose at least $450 billion in previously projected funding through 2021 as part of a deficit-reduction push.

Chief Justice Defends Peers’ Hearing Case on Health Law

In the face of a growing controversy over whether two Supreme Court justices should disqualify themselves from the challenge to the 2010 health care overhaul law, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Saturday defended the court’s ethical standards. The chief justice’s comments came in his annual report on the state of the federal judiciary. In it, he made what amounted to a vigorous defense of Justices Clarence Thomas and Elena Kagan, who are facing calls to disqualify themselves from hearing the health care case, which will be argued over three days in late March. He did not, however, mention the justices by name. “I have complete confidence in the capability of my ...
AMERICAN RIGHT TO LIFE REJECTS RON PAUL'S PLEDGE

American Right To Life calls it politics as usual when Ron Paul tried to mislead pro-life voters by signing a pledge that he actually rejects. Just in time for the 2012 Iowa caucuses Paul pledged that he will "endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment protections apply to unborn children." But then he contradicted his pledge by stating, "I can't agree that the Fourteenth Amendment has a role to play here." "Shockingly, Ron Paul agrees with the central finding of Roe v. Wade itself," says Darrell Birkey, director of research for American Right To Life, "that the constitutional protection of human rights does not apply to unborn ...
Kelly Clarkson sales spike after Ron Paul endorsement

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A word of advice to prospective American Idol contestants: vote libertarian. One day after she announced her support for Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Twitter, sales of pop singer Kelly Clarkson's most recent album were surging Friday on Amazon.com. Sales of Clarkson's album Stronger shot up 442% between Thursday and Friday afternoon on Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500), moving the album from #38 to #7 on Amazon's sales list. While there's no way to tell whether her support for Paul was the only reason for this jump, the endorsement clearly made a difference for some fans. "I must admit I have not really followed you but your recent ...

The media is again attempting to shape public opinion by excluding Dr. Ron Paul's 2nd place finish in the Ames Iowa straw poll from news coverage. They consistently bombard us with preselected, prepackaged, clone-like establishment candidates and tell us that they are the front runners. We must let our voices be heard on August 20th by breaking donation records with a Ron Paul moneybomb. Don't let the media decide the next election! Stand up for Freedom, Liberty, and the Constitution. Stand with Dr. Ron Paul in 2012.

NASHVILLE — Four of the nine Republican candidates in Tennessee's presidential primary ballot will have no committed delegates on the ballot with them on the March 6 ballot, while Mitt Romney has a surplus wanting to represent him at the Republican National Convention. Candidates Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Perry also had a substantial slate of committed delegates on the ballot to qualify before the deadline earlier this month. Candidate Jon Huntsman has three — two of them being former Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe and his wife, Joan. Tennessee Republicans will elect delegates as well as choose their favorite as the party nominee March 6, though that part of the election ...
Upset about Big Brother's Ban on Incandescent Bulbs? Buy a Heatball!

This is just too good. Many of you know that in a few days the federal ban on conventional incandescent light bulbs will go into effect. And while House Republicans included a provision in a recent spending bill that will block funding for the ban's enforcement, it's said that it will have little effect; manufacturers have prepared for the new standards and will no doubt abide by the law. So does this mean we'll be forced to buy more expensive LED (light emitting diode) or CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs, the latter being those squiggly things said to be loaded with mercury? Not if we follow the lead of German businessman Siegfried Rotthaeuser. After the European Union ...

Sara Spafford Freeman, a 33-year-old communications consultant, has been a Kelly Clarkson fan since the singer’s "American Idol" days. But after she saw Clarkson’s Twitter endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, Spafford Freeman decided she could no longer endorse Clarkson.
“I used to like Kelly Clarkson. But I can't like anyone who is either ignorant enough or arrogant enough to endorse a candidate like Ron Paul,” Spafford Freeman told Fox411 on Thursday from her home in Minnesota. “I have listened to ‘Since You've Been Gone’ for the last time.” Spafford Freeman’s comments are just part of the pushback the platinum-selling superstar and inaugural "American Idol" ...

2011: The Year in Civil Liberties by John W. Whitehead, December 29, 2011 It’s been a year of populist uprisings, economic downturns, political assassinations, and one scandal after another. Gold prices soared, while the dollar plummeted. The Arab Spring triggered worldwide protests, including the Occupy Wall Street protests here in America. Nature unleashed her forces with a massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan, flooding in Thailand and Pakistan, a severe drought in East Africa, and a famine in Somalia. With an unemployment rate hovering around 9.5%, more than 4 million Americans passed the one-year mark for being out of a job. After a death toll that included more than 4,500 ...

Newt Gingrich seems to be sliding further down in the Republican presidential campaign polls every day, but Ron Paul isn't coasting to the finish line in Iowa. His son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, just sent out a fundraising letter that rubs Gingrich's new low numbers in his face: Not too long ago, Newt Gingrich said with 100% certainty, "I'm going to be the nominee." It's got to be hard watching something you think you're entitled to slip away. Tensions have long been high between the two camps. Ron Paul's presidential campaign recently released a torrent of negative ads against Gingrich, who led public opinion polls Iowa until just a few days ago. This ...

REPORTING FROM JERUSALEM -- Is Aisha Kadafi, daughter of the slain Libyan ruler Moammar Kadafi, considering seeking asylum in Israel? Unlikely as it seems, this may be the case. The Israeli news website Walla, quoted a report published in Intelligence Online that said Aisha indicated to confidants from Europe that only in Israel would she feel safe and that she hoped to be allowed to live there. In August, she fled Libya for Algeria with her mother, two of her brothers and several other family members. Recently she expressed concern that her Algerian hosts may not be able to resist pressure from Libya's new government to extradite her to stand trial along with her brother, Saif ...
Tomas Bautista Gets a Year in Jail for Fingering a Chihuahua

Even though Florida's bestiality ban didn't go into effect for another nine months, Tomas Bautista still received a jail sentence for his chihuahua-fingering episode back in February.
Whereas the new bestiality ban makes sexing an animal a misdemeanor, Bautista entered a plea of no contest on a felony animal-cruelty charge, and was sentenced to a year plus one day in jail. He'll get credit for the time he's spent in jail since he was caught violating the dog.
It was February 17 when Bautista's roommate arrived at their Oakland Park home and found Bautista drunk, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Instead, Bautista told another roommate he was going outside -- where the ...
Michele Bachmann loses Iowa campaign manager to Ron Paul

Reporting from Des Moines— In a surprise move, and a blunt reflection of the shifting fortunes of Republican presidential candidates ahead of the opening vote in the 2012 nominating contest, Michele Bachmann’s Iowa campaign chairman defected Wednesday night to Ron Paul's campaign. State Sen. Kent Sorenson, a tea party favorite, was hired as a Bachmann staffer in Iowa even before she announced her candidacy. He helped lead her campaign to victory in the Ames straw poll in August. Ever since, however, Bachmann’s popularity has been in decline. Recent statewide polling shows the Minnesota congresswoman running last among the six Republicans actively competing in Iowa. ...

Writes Ann Coulter:
The Tofflers were a couple of old folks who couldn’t figure out how to program their VCRs, so they began writing about the “shock” of technology and how we needed government planning to deal with technological overload… Their big idea was that the world was about to change faster than it ever had before, creating a technological explosion that would frighten and baffle the masses… The government would have to have advisers and committees in order to ease the transition. Gingrich… announced that all legislation passed by the new Congress would have to pass a test: Will it help move America into the Tofflers’ vision of a ‘Third Wave’?”
