Thirty six million people around the world took part in protests and demonstrations to advise George W Bush not to wage war. At one point THREE MILLION people gathered in Rome before the war to urge Bush to stop, and unprecedented protest in world history. If Bush, a true manaical ogre, had listened to what the world was saying, and even some of his own advisors, perhaps we would not be in the dire economic situation we find ourselves in at the moment.

I would like to point out the damning memo which illustrated Bush ordered intelligence agencies to “fix” the intelligence to make it look like Saddam Hussein was in possesion of weapons of mass destruction. A few canisters of 1920s era mustard gas buried in the desert hardly constitutes a threat of global proportions.

Third, National Security Council advisor Richard Clarke has exposed Bush’s plan to attack Iraq even before Bush was selected for office. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Niell said the same thing…the attack was planned from the very inauguration and drastically ratcheted up the war machine from the Clinton years. Bush himself during the campaign to be selected spouted plenty of war rhetoric, specifically the plan to “remove” Saddam Hussein.

They ought to make impeachment of war criminals mandatory in Congress.

You may be right about that. George W Bush sent us into a multi-year, possibly multi-decade recession and I don’t see much sign of hope. We are still, to this day, paying for the Vietnam war. We haven’t even got to Iraq I, much less Iraq II or the other wars.

One thing I credit Ron Paul for is his reluctance to wage war because he was aware of the economic consequences. His motives might be different than my own, which are humanitarian, but I really can’t complain anyone opposing war.

I am not sure what you’re saying. It’s not anyone’s opinion that Rand did that, he DID do it. He is, in fact, a racist hypocrite. And considering what other people have to say about something is okay too.

Do you have anything more substantive to say? I wasn’t sure I should even bother typing this response.

I also want to high-light something else from that editorial. It’s interesting (and racist) that the Tea Party have nothing to say about the taxation without representation of Washington D.C.

Isn’t that what you Paultroons always tell us? Well, the shoe is on the other foot now. We know him for the charlatan he is.

Now go complain to Lou Rockwell and Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura. They’ll make it all better.

And to think that MLK and Ron Paul would have ANY common cause is laughable.

And for the record, when you have Paul screaming all day about the Gold Standard, dig a little deeper and look at his stock portfolio. QED.

Lyndon LaRouche seems to have many protege in the extreme right. Ever since he shifted from, at one time being on presidential ticket for the US Labor Party, to now railing against “The British Oligarchy” and “The Anglo-American Establishment.” He has been breeding these little right wing monsters.

It is confusing, as hell, yet one of the closests clones, on the extreme right, to Lyndon LaRouche is a man named Webster Tarpley, who wrote such “notable works of fiction”, such as (Obama – The Postmodern Coup: Making of a Manchurian Candidate), and (Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography).

Furthermore, Lyndon LaRouche is often interviewed on the Alex Jones’ Radio Show, and he hosts his own radio show, called “World Crisis Radio”, on the same network as Alex Jones.

The extreme right is getting stronger every day, they are well funded (Koch brothers), well organized and they feed on the growing displacement and alienation of the white working class.

1) Washington D.C. has a non-White majority.

and

2) When Paul’s spokesperson says- “Efforts to change that have failed, and until it is changed it is not only the prerogative but the duty of Congress to have jurisdiction over the Federal District,” I think it’s important to ask if Paul supports state-hood for D.C.

If Martin Luther King was alive today, then Ron Paul and MLK would have found common ground.

I wonder how many people in America know and understand the depth of stupidity lurking in the minds and souls of people like Ron Paul?

Also, is it any surprise that the ‘Ron Paul Mental Institute for Crazy People’ is full of whack jobs? He attracts the like me to a pecan pie.
