Ron Paul, a Conservative on the economy with a liberal foreign policy

DonkeyHotey

Reason #1067 why Ron Paul should never be elected president  by Rick Moran at American Thinker:

"And now he smears George Bush and his administration by making a statement that he just made up out of whole cloth. There is not one shred of evidence that anyone in the Bush administration was "gleeful" at any time, anywhere, for any reason connected to 9/11. It is a lie. Not even Bush's harshest, most unrelenting and unbalanced critics have ever made such a shocking, unproven allegation.

Bush may have been inept and inarticulate but if anything could be said about his and his administration's reaction to 9/11 and contemplation of war with Iraq, there was no "glee" to be found anywhere. Only in Ron Paul's warped imagination could such a thing be so."

 FOREIGN POLICY DOSSIER   "Paul said in an August debate in Iowa that the international effort to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons makes tensions worse, placing himself firmly at odds with the Obama and Bush administrations. He argues it is natural that Iran, surrounded by nuclear-armed states, would want its own arsenal. And if the U.S. “tolerated” the Soviet Union and thousands of nuclear weapons but never went to war, he suggested, the U.S. should do the same with Iran. Paul told Fox News’ Chris Wallace last Sunday that he would end sanctions because he deems them an act of war. Characterizations of Iran as a threat, he said, were “blown out of proportion.”"
"DRONES HURT; SEND TERRORISTS TO COURT; CLOSE GITMO. Paul harshly condemned the U.S. drone strikes that killed two American citizens, Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, as “assassination” by “a secret government committee not subject to congressional oversight or judicial review.” He called it “an outrage and a criminal act carried out by the president and his administration.” "

Beck considers Paul as a third party  "This is suicide and it doesn’t get any simpler this: voting third party on our side for whomever guarantees Obama a victory. That’s it. And if Newt’s the nominee and Beck wants to go that road, then I tell him what I tell others: enjoy the hell that will be a second Obama term."

From The Foreign Policy Initiative : Hopefully, the GOP nominee will realize that we focus solely on problems at home at our peril   "Most of the Republican candidates in South Carolina tonight passed that test, with the possible exception of Ron Paul, whose views are so far outside the mainstream that his continued presence at these debates makes the Republican party appear less serious."

Rick Santorum Schools Candy Crowley on Obama's Appeasement

Newsbusters   "As NewsBusters has been reporting for days, the Obama-loving media have been doing a collective victory lap concerning the President's appeasement retort "Go ask Osama bin Laden."
"When CNN's Candy Crowley tried this during her interview with Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Sunday's State of the Union, she got a much-needed education that would help all her foreign policy-challenged colleagues in the press (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):"

Time for CNN and MSNBC to knock off the blatant campaigning for this traitorous administration. They contantly misrepresent everything wrong and try to pretend it's all coming up roses for America when we are in grave danger from every part of the world.

His so called intelligent diplomacy has left us staggering under constant assaults from those who know they're dealing with a weakling.

From the comments to the above article.

To CNN, The most busted name in news":   “Good Luck In Getting It Right This Time”
"There’s lots to criticize, of course, with the refrains from the center-right as familiar to you as the chorus from “American Pie.” (Please, no more fringe extremists held up as “representing” conservatism generally or Tea Party activists specifically.) While fixing these flaws would increase your audience and your credibility on many issues, these are small points compared with the looming world crisis. What really matters right now is that CNN get the Iran story right and that you not become the *Geoffrey Dawson of the new millennium.
"You no doubt know of [Geoffrey] Dawson and his shameful record of abetting the appeasement of Neville Chamberlain throughout the ’30s from his post as editor of the Times of London, in its day the most powerful news platform in the world. Dawson emerges as a loathsome character in the pages of William Manchester’s “Alone,” the narrative of Winston Churchill’s wilderness years from 1932 to 1940."

*Geoffrey Dawson Dawson began to use the [Times of London] in the same manner as Lord Northcliffe had once done, to promote his own agenda. He also became a leader of a group of journalists that sought to influence national policy by private correspondence with leading statesmen. Dawson was close to both Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain. He was a prominent proponent and supporter of appeasement policies, after Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. He was a member of the Anglo-German Fellowship and under his editorship, The Times forbade any mention of German anti-semitism during the pre-war years when Hitler was in power. He was opposed to Zionism. He is considered a major figure in the events that led up to the Munich agreement in 1938. He retired in 1941.

(UPDATED) Tim Tebow: God's Quarterback/ Christophobia

 Update: Tis the Season of Christ-o-phobia    "...so belligerent atheists and their left-wing facilitators are abusing Christian humility to try to shove Christianity out of the public square and seize that square for themselves. This year, left-wing Governor of Rhode Island Lincoln Chafee christened, if that’s the word I want, the state’s Christmas tree a “holiday tree” for fear of giving offense — though when questioned about the decision, he ran like a dog. The City of Santa Monica has allowed irritable atheists to take up space usually given to nativity displays. And the anti-American ACLU only takes enough time off from its war against Christmas to produce articles claiming its war against Christmas doesn’t exist."  By Andrew Klavan

WSJ  "He has led the Denver Broncos to one improbable victory after another—defying his critics and revealing the deep-seated anxieties in American society about the intertwining of religion and sports."

 ..."Mr. Tebow manufactured a 95-yard game-winning drive, punctuated by his own 20-yard touchdown dash. He brought the Broncos back from imminent defeat, just as he had done in previous weeks against the Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.

"And when the shouting was over, Mr. Tebow did what he always does—he pointed skyward and took a knee in prayer. In postgame interviews, the young quarterback often starts by saying, "First, I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" and ends with "God bless." He stresses that football is just a game and that God doesn't care who wins or loses."

....
"Mr. Tebow may or may not enjoy long-term success as an NFL quarterback. His current streak will run its course, and the Broncos might well move on to another quarterback, one who is more obviously suited to the pro game.

"But win or lose, Tim Tebow will compete hard—and when he's done, he will thank God and remind all of us that it's just a game."

Uh, I'm not sure how to take this.

Tim Tebow does it again, leading Broncos to 13-10 win in overtime against Bears  "Tebow drove the Broncos downfield and Matt Prater, whose 59-yard field goal with 3 seconds left in regulation tied it, booted a 51-yarder with 8:34 left in overtime to give Denver an improbable 13-10 win."....
"After failing to score on their first dozen possessions, the Broncos faced the possibility of their first home shutout in the team’s 52-year history. Instead, they erased a 10-0 deficit in the final 2:08 of regulation."

Google "Tim Tebow" and there are a number of sites with his bio. However most choose to ignore or refute his mother's decision not to abort him. This is one exception.

I yam what I yam, says Newt
