AllahPundit Explains the Stupid:
I’ve already written about how his isolationist garbage leads inexorably to nonsense like this, so let me just add two points. First, and most obviously, there is no U.S. occupation of Yemen or Nigeria. The only way the airline plot is a reaction to U.S. “occupation” is if you accept the jihadist premise that there are no Arab/Muslim nation-states but rather only one Islamic caliphate waiting to be born. Only in that way does the U.S. occupation of Iraq warrant a reprisal from, say, a Pakistani or Yemeni. And yet, needless to say, if Britain was attacked tomorrow and Obama pledged U.S. forces to assist in the reprisal, Paul would be the first guy to scream that we should scrupulously observe national boundaries and not go fighting another country’s battles for it.
Second, as usual, his facts are wrong. He uncritically accepts Abdulmutallab’s assertion that the bomb plot was retaliation for the U.S. airstrike on jihadi camps in Yemen. Not so: As Jake Tapper explained yesterday, this turd had already been mobilized and had even bought his Northwest ticket before we struck. Purely and simply, America’s Greatest Patriot is parroting propaganda cooked up by jihadist pieces of shit because it happens to fit his insane foreign policy agenda. Support him and his disciples at your peril.
Amen and Amen. I have written on this blog time and time again; that Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy is rooted in 1940’s Pre-World War II mentality, only to be blasted by Pro-Ron Paul nuts who sometimes like to come here and poke at me for having the audacity to insult their fearless leader. This is why Ron Paul is not, nor will he ever be President. When I do say this, the best these Ron Paul bots can do; is to call me a “Neo-Con”, which in the language of the Ron Paul followers means Jew. Which is pretty funny, considering the parents are both people that were born and raised in southern states — which is a nice way of saying, they’re both Hillbillies. So, I am as much as a Jew, as say, Barack Obama?
In fact, I do not consider Ron Paul to be a true-blue Republican or even a Conservative. I consider him to be an old school, crypto-Leftist — heck, half of his supports who write over at the American Conservative, also write at places like The Nation associates website, and “The Week” which are both far leftist organizations and publications.
Anyhow, this should prove it, that Ron Paul has no place in modern day politics, at all. Period. End of Discussion. Heck, there are now even videos connecting Ron Paul to the… gulp… illuminati.
Please note: An earlier version of this entry had a link to a “Rick Roll” youtube video in the last paragraph. I cut and pasted the wrong link. I have now linked to the right video. Ooopsie. 😛
