Everybody takes sides. When the chips are down on important issues, everybody can eventually be found on a side of their choosing. Those that claim to be neutral on the important issues of life are either ignorant of the reality of where they truly stand or are attempting to deceive someone. Percentages are higher on the latter, which is unfortunate because it creates a disingenuous world where people carry false banners of affiliation and advertise ideological beliefs that contradict the way they really think and act.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul's interview with Don Imus over the Israeli embargo of the Gaza Strip raises a number of disturbing questions about where this self-proclaimed Republican stands on a number of important questions. Ron Paul, a longtime isolationist, shocked many when he not only admonished Israel's lawful blockage of the Gaza Strip, but also said that Israel's action were nothing short of an act of war. When Imus mentioned that Israel was not attempting to stop humanitarian aid in the region, rather weapons being smuggled to the terrorist organization Hamas, Ron Paul released a tirade of unbelievable statements.

columnist is a moron.

When you think of the slings and arrows that man has taken to try to get the country to wake up to what is going on, he has proven his REAL patriotism time and again.

He doesn't need to pander to people who think patriotism is something to wear on your sleeve.

And I heard that interview, it wasn't remotely as claimed.

Nor is Ron an isolationist.

The Israel First cronies are the real anti-Americans.

"If we are to question Ron Paul's anti-Israel stance, should we not also question his overt anti-America stance?"


If you are not pro Israel then you must be anti American. Yeah, we have a lot of that kind of thinking around here too. This columnist is another one claiming Israel is our greatest ally when they haven't lifted a finger to deserve that honor.

He has his own web site, pro (un) Patriot Act, pro anything Israel, pro War on Terror, he is a poster child of not just a neo con but a social/neo con hybrid.

Yes, standing up against the state that shot an American kid's head full of holes makes him 'anti-American'.

this must be an AIPAC talking point. Mike Pence said the same thing about obama in a terrible floor speech.
