Dedicated to all Neocons that booed Ron Paul

I found this awesome 4 minute long video, that explains point and blank why Ron Paul's assessment about why the U.S. was attacked is correct.

Neocons are what's killing the Republican party. I think everyone except for them knows it.

Another one? We saw this in the other thread.

What's all this talk about Fox News?

So if you didn't like the comment, it makes you a neocon?

While neocons are pretty simple minded on this issue, I think they are preferable to Ron Paul in general and even in on matters of foreign policy.

Ron Paul is the Galileo of this time....right now many people think he is crazy. In 100 years everyone will look back and realize he was right all along, but it will be much too late by then.mingmao3046

no. please dont compare the father of modern science to ron paul. (nothing against ron paul. but hes no galileo)

While I do not support a number of Ron Paul's positions on foreign policies, are neocons any better? They waste too much money on military intervention instead of building a stronger country at home.

The irony of this statement is that if Ron Paul (or really any other Republican frontrunner) was alive back in Galileo's time they would be in the group telling him to destroy his research. Also differing in that Galileo was right and Ron Paul...isn't.Ace6301

Umm, Ron isn't exactly Galileo, but I don't quite get the destroying research remark. Seems a wee bit authoritarian for his tastes.

It's funny because based on the argument he presented, your response, and the political ideology of Ron Paul; you would be the one telling Galileo to destroy his research and Ron Paul would be the guy saying, "let him do as he pleases."

Um, no. Rick Perry is the Galileo of his time. You'll see in 100 years. Global warming, evolution. It's all a farce I tell ya. bwahaha.

The thing is, Ron Paul is not likely to build a stronger country at home as he wants to dismantle government in a major way.

The neocons don't go as far in this direction and I just find Ron Paul to be so naive and ideologically stubborn that I wouldn't trust him in foreign affairs.

Ron Paul would be the guy who 100 years after Heliocentrism was accepted says that it was actually geocentrism and tries to prove it. He's not ahead of the curve, he's just so far behind it's hard to get a prospective and so people think he's ahead of the curve.

There's a major difference in between what you're saying in this post and claiming he'd destroy research.

Ron Paul also believes that anyone without health insurance should just die.

Fight a terrible analogy with a terrible analogy. Ron Paul isn't close to Galileo, it's a terrible comparison. Working within the realms of a terrible comparison is difficult because no matter what you can come up with it's going to remain terrible. How's this: Galileo = Progressive =/= Ron Paul = Conservative = The Church. However the logic the other poster was using was Galileo = Progressive = Ron Paul = Conservative. Which...isn't true at all. To put it more simply: To call Ron Paul a Galileo type figure is dumb. I think Ron Paul would damage the US if he became president, but I don't think he hates science. I never said that. Ace6301

Fair enough.

On the topic of Ron Paul, I still have yet to figure out why people think he protects the rights of the people. His views and policies are de facto states rights accross the board. Those views and policies are critically flawed because giving states the option on things like the right to an attorney or exclusionary evidence hinders the rights of people and expands government at the cost of civil liberties.

Fair enough.

The bad guys who were telling him to destroy his research did eventually prevent him from furthering it -- effectively destroying future research of his. That's the mental jump I made, anyhow.

But seriously, when someone calls Ron Paul Galileo, they are beyond reasoning with.

[QUOTE="Ace6301"][QUOTE="ChampionoChumps"] Eh, it's not like the laws on those would change anyway. Maybe some deregulation (good) and maybe an updated abortion law, but I don't think those are deal breakers because like I said, they wouldn't pass.ChampionoChumps

Public schools are overwhelmingly funded by state and local governments.
