Most people currently rely on the hearsay they get from the MSM. Have you ever told someone something and then they told someone else who then told someone else and before you know it what you originally said was taken out of context and eventually said something nowhere close to what you originally stated? What people hear and what the actual truth is are all too often 180 degrees apart. In fact, due to this recognized fact, hearsay (i.e. rumor, innuendo, etc.) is inadmissible in a court of law. Newsmax has been anti-Ron Paul from the get-go. I love Israel and I do know factually that our current policy is anti-Israel which Obama, Romney, Santorum, or Gingrich will continue to perpetuate although I liked Gingrich’s gutsy statement on the Palestinians being a fabrication and that there never has been a Palestinian state or a Palestinian people. I might be tempted in a weak moment to give in and vote for Gingrich (doesn’t look good for him being the nominee) just to see him blast Obama if it’s not Ron Paul but will definitely go third party if it’s Romney or Santorum. They are both liars. Our policy of giving foreign aid (which our Constitution does not authorize for any nation) to Israel is more like extortion money where we pressure them to make concessions and land forfeitures (that God gave them, I might add) that compromise their national security. In addition to the $2-3 Billion we give to Israel per year we give Tens of Billions to her enemies as well as arming them. How much of a “blessing” is that for those of you who are prone to quote God’s blessing on Abraham? Our policy in the Middle East reminds me of trying to extinguish a fire with gasoline.
Now if “the powers that be are ordained of God” in Romans 13:1 (i.e. our government and Constitution) and our Constitution is the “supreme law of the land” then to violate our Constitution is breaking the law. Our Constitution does not authorize any form of welfare either domestic or foreign and our Founders (it’s authors) support me on that. So foreign aid is a violation of our law. So if “I will bless them that bless thee” is alluding to foreign aid we have a scriptural conflict. It is not our business to interfere in the sovereignty of any nation. Ending all foreign aid has the net effect of helping Israel because it does not prop up her enemies. Netanyahu also told Congress last year that Israel can take care of itself and doesn’t need us. We also have thousands of years of Scripture where God has undoubtedly taken care of them. Let’s abandon that fallacious argument based on GOP establishment/MSM hearsay and have faith in God. He’s never failed them yet. Neutrality is neither blessing or cursing and it is Constitutional. As Jefferson said, “no entangling alliances.” That also means we should also get out of NATO and the UN. It is not isolationism it is non-interventionism.
But aside from the Israel issue, if we continue on our present course (Republican or Democrat; it doesn’t matter) we are doomed. We are on the verge of economic catastrophe that will dwarf any economic disasters of the past. Ron Paul’s economic policies are also spot on. Romney has even noticed their popularity and begun to parrot a few of Paul’s ideas himself in his typical “what do the people want hear” fashion.
Oh, “but we have to get Obama out” you say. Have you ever heard of “losing for winning?” And stop relying on hearsay by searching for the real truth.

Please watch the below interview to better understand Paul's position with his own words.
And below that video is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying exactly what Ron Paul says. 
I heard the speech by Netanyahu when he said they don't need our soldiers in Israel, that Israel can support themselves. We have told Israel for too long what they can or can't do.
ReplyDeleteRon Paul said that Israel would be a great and close friend in his administration and that foreign aid would be cut for all countries including the aid we give Israel's enemies. We would still trade with them and remain close.
Ron Paul would only go to war if Congress/the people want to and declare it. Which, in all probability we are very close with Israel and we would come to their defense if needed under a Paul administration.
Dr. Ron Paul says,
ReplyDelete“I supported Israel’s right to attack the Iraqi nuclear reactor in the 1980s, and I opposed President Obama’s attempt to dictate Israel’s borders this year.” (America did not!)
“I do not believe we should be Israel’s master but, rather, her friend. We should not be dictating her policies and announcing her negotiating positions before talks with her neighbors have even begun.”
“I believe I’m the only candidate who would allow Israel to take immediate action to defend herself without having to get our approval. Israel should be free to take whatever steps she deems necessary to protect her national security and sovereignty.”
“I am personally against all foreign aid. We give $3 billion to Israel and $12 billion to her avowed enemies. How does that help Israel? And in return, we act like her master and demand veto power over her foreign policy.” (It is actually much higher than that $12 billion figure; more on the order of $30 billion)
Wow! Thanks for clarifying this in a great concise way! I myself, was wondering about some of the things I've been hearing and was meaning to look it up for myself! :)
ReplyDeleteSugar, it is such a relief and encouraging to me to see that you have the wisdom and intellect to see through the smoke screens. There are so many lies perpetrated by the Establishment and MSM against Dr. Paul. He is a true Constitutionalist who will protect our liberties, stop illegal and perpetual wars, and bring back economic prosperity to this great country.
