Frequently Made Accusations (An FAQ)

[FreeMind&Market]

What do you folks think about creating an FAQ like list of Frequently Made Accusations and Misunderstandings, with one or more concise responses to them? I'm thinking that this will make it easier for us to make quick responses to these accusations on internet forums, comments and in real life conversations. Being that we live in an information-overload, sound-bite world, concise, to the point responses are important, IMHO. To get things started, here are a few of my suggestions:

• He's right on economics, but his Foreign Policy is wrong:
  
  • The establishment media doesn't tell you the full story. Our current foreign policy is hindering Israel as much as Iran and costing us taxpayers billions while instigating hatred towards us. Israel can defend itself, if we would let them.
  • We're broke, and your suggesting we start another war we can't afford!
• RP/His Supports are Crazy:
  
  • Since facts and logic don't support you, your resorting to name calling.

I think the best short-form argument to explain his foreign policy, aside from the financial cost of all these wars, is to say "the foreign policy the Democrats and Republicans (Paul excluded) have been following the past several decades is directly responsible for the attacks on 9/11. The foreign policy Ron Paul advocates would have avoided 9/11 from ever happening. The militaristic policies both parties have us pursuing are the same policies that led to 9/11 and so they're not only not helping us, they're going to precipitate another attack. So why is Ron Paul's foreign policy wrong while Bush/Obama/Romney's is right?"

This of course will almost guarantee a longer discussion where you can explain things in more detail, but it's good because that is really the summary of Paul's position, and it's a compelling summary once you flesh it out with the supporting arguments.
