I recall a scene from the recent film The Alamo (not the one with John Wayne as Davy Crockett; the one with Billy Bob Thornton as Davy Crockett): A group of Tejanos of San Antonio are discussing (via subtitles) the relative merits of Santa Anna vs. the Americans. One notes Santa Anna is a tyrant, which nobody disputes. But another remarks, “But Santa Anna only wants to rule Mexico. These men want the whole world.”
“Pity poor Mexico. So far from God yet so close to the United States.”

Then google “Ron Paul” and “moonbat”. Regardless of whether you get any hits, you’ll be on a more accurate track.
You don’t travel from point A to point B for a living, do you Clothy?
Anyway, this is probably all just a pretext for Ron Paul to promote one of his famous gadgets that can detect terrorist attacks, scramble an egg in its shell, and slice a tomato paper-thin.
Nothing like the gadgets from the other guys. They can make America great again, save Social Security, and get the troops home safely.
Looks like he will be around for a while too:
I might send him a twenty, just for the entertainment value.
Every day, and twice on Tuesdays.
Well, FWIW I googled ‘Ron Paul’ and ‘moon bat’ and got 333 hits.
Just don’t do it . . . twice.
[cue Ave Satanas (the theme from The Omen)]
A conservative argues that Paul didn’t say what the blog says he said.
At least not about the war, anyway.
That wasn’t an argument. That was a refutation.
I’m still unsure of why all the conspiracy nuts have glommed onto Paul, even though he doesn’t echo their sentiments at all. I mean, the only thing they have in common is that Paul trusts other politicians as far as he can throw them. He doesn’t believe them to have the magical ability to stage flawless and elaborate hoaxes like these folks do.
With a US battle fleet parked just offshore of Iran and a lot of blame being tossed on Iran for the insurgency and instability in Iraq, I can’t see why a Gulf of Tonkin-style overreaction to a minor incident is implausible.
The Politico and PrisonPlanet completely misrepresented what Paul said, just to gain eyeballs, and that’s nothing new either.
I like Paul, but I really don’t know why he continues to give interviews to Alex Jones’ show, when he has plenty of “reputable” media outlets willing to talk to him these days.
Bear in mind, though: Paul may be a moon bat, so he could have accidentally said it using a combination of words that collectively mean something else.
(BTW, In contrast to his “moon bat” score of 333, Googling “Ron Paul” and “wing nut” returns 50,300 hits. Interestingly, “Ron Paul” and “bat wing” only got 68 hits, so we may conclude that, while possibly nocturnal, he is not a true flying mammal. On a hunch, I tried “flying squirrel” [actually a glider] and got 336 hits. Research continues.)
“Hillary Clinton” and “wing nut” returns 757,000 hits.
Ooh, excellent point, Liberal!
Let’s see… “Ron Paul” + “Hillary Clinton” = 1,240,000 hits!
I think we may finally be on the right track.
“Ron Paul” + “Hillary Clinton” + “sugar glider” = 15 hits.
They’re not marsupials!
But… but… “Ron Paul + Karl Marx” returns 798,000 hits! Is RP actually a stealth candidate for those godless Commies? :eek:
Now Paul Craig Roberts – Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration, known as “the father of Reaganomics” – is getting on board.
