[...] Ron Paul-The man is going to be a third-party candidate. Unless he's not. Unless he is. Who the hell knows, anymore? Either way, he's not leaving any time soon.

And once again I’m not against Christianity but opposed to fascism (the ties that bind)

I just looked it up and of course I’m not anti-Christian (because I am one) but there’s plenty of bashing of various secular types going on today.

Personally I’m not sure you can abide by many messages in the new testament and at the same time support criminals in power. Nor do I see any mention of using fear, torture or (misguided) revenge.

Don’t patronize me. You and people like you who support this man have forgotten the principles on which this Nation was founded. I’d remind you the Founders were NOT isolationists.

As a citizen of this Country you have the absolute right to support anyone you see fit, but Paul is just like the dems and you follow his lead – attack the messenger and call him names – how typical.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big supporter of ANYONE at this point, but I’m certain I won’t support Paul. If you watched this video (I saw the show) and can still say you think this guy is capable of leading this Country, all I can say is you’re badly mistaken.

As far as the nomination goes, let’s wager on that. Paul has about the same chance as a snowball in hell.

Bill

“Christofascist?” For some odd reason, I don’t remember “Christofascists” bombing the World Trade Center, Khobar Towers, Our embassies in Africa, the USS Cole or any other place. Please don’t continue a ludicrous argument.
Christians haven’t done any of these things. Now I’ll wait to hear the McVay tripe as if he represented something remotely resembling Christianity.

And as far as Ron Paul wanting to get rid of public education I’m not aware of that one. In fact he grew up in public schools. But for a good comparison, the Bushes like to “Federalize” state national guards. If they were “De-Federalized” does this mean no more State National Guards? Of course not.

Of course it was Tim Russert who said “Islamic Fascists”. Problem is these days we’re not walking softly and carrying a big stick. More like running around with a megaphone with a broken military.

Bill, empathy doesn’t work so well in the likes of Bart and Sarge. Must be a genetic flaw, but still you’d think the Golden Rule they grew up with would have compensated for this deficiency a little. So sad to see it virtually non-existent in these otherwise bright intelligent individuals.

On the issue of Paul running 3rd party, not gonna happen. His delegates are piling up as we speak and the GOP nom will be decided next September at the convention.

Of course SOME Christians (and conservatives) understand using certain words can actually CHANGE the geopolitical landscape. “Islamofascism” for example. Ask yourself how you feel when somebody uses the term “Christofascist” then ask yourself how it would be if Muslims used it (Muslims who invaded our country)

Sorry just generalizing. (just a little “blowback”) But “generally” I think whoever uses the term “Islamofascist” has never been a real “trailblazer” when it comes to free thought or real conservatism.

Bill

What are talking about? A “no-show” on a Constitutional issue? ME? I think not.

Any Paul supporter who watched this performance MUST be concerned. This man is dangerous to the Country. I don’t particularly like Russert, but he nailed Paul on a number of points not the least of which is pork barrel spending.

Oh, by the way, if anyone needed any further proof this guy is an isolationist they certainly got it here.

John

I don’t think you even understand what conservatism is. Your comments about Buckley smack of ignorance of subject.

You go on and on about how magnificent Paul is (I’ve stated this MANY times before), then you post this video clearly exposing him and title it something that doesn’t match the actual content – EVEN A LITTLE.

Aubrey and Bart – It’s more important than ever we continue to fight the good fight. Sure, we have some problems, but putting a guy like this in the White House is CERTAINLY not the way to fix our National ills.

Merry Christmas guys!
