- inmyjoshuatree, on 12/18/2007, -1/+11It's amazing how people STILL believe they attacked America because of our Freedom and our way of life... it's just not true. Ron has said it before and he'll say it again. There are issues with terrorism because we invade these countries and we impose our western ways on them. How would we feel is that happened to us. If someone came over here, took over the country and had us acting and living in a different way. A way which we didn't even understand let along want to live by.
- Spectre74, on 12/18/2007, -0/+8This dude doesn't have a bad answer to anything (as long as he has enough time to say it) EVER.
- JohnFive, on 12/18/2007, -3/+11Once again, Americans will be fighting for their freedoms, they will be fighting to have a leader that will follow the United States Constitution, one who will return this country to one of true economic power, not one that has to flex its muscles daily. Many Americans have felt oppressed for a long time as their savings lose its value, they work harder for less buying power, and they are afraid of what will happen to the dollar. Ron Paul, is not only a medical doctor, but he has been studying for years the kinds of economics needed to fix these ills. He wants to return America to the great land she was when she started. A land that others longed for so they too could have a chance at the dream. Sadly, that dream seems more like a distant whisper to many who have to have both parents working more than one job just to make ends meet. The idea of a forty hour work week with an hour off each day for lunch being enough to support a family of four has long ago past. Americans are now afraid to speak freely on the telephone after hearing that the government is listening in to virtually every call, and the FBI can knock down your door anytime they feel like without a warrant signed by a judge. Americans are tired of being on cameras at every corner and being treated like criminals if they can't take their shoes off fast enough at an airport. Ron Paul wants to bring our money, rights, and freedoms back to us.

- davidg11, on 12/18/2007, -0/+7I liked the last part of the segment regarding foreign policy. What he needs to say is look...Osama didn't wake up one day and say "lets attack America and kill ourselves in the process because we're bored". They didn't like us taking sides in the Arab world and putting our bases on "holy land". Period. Isn't it a lot cheaper to not have bases in the mideast and get out of their internal affairs and not give them fodder to recruit people to kill us?
- Berkana, on 12/18/2007, -0/+5CNN keeps trying to bait him to run as an independent, and I'm fed up with it. They had no business doing that during the Republican debates, but they did it anyways.
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -1/+6I am not certain if it was this show, or not, but just before one of the several Ron Paul appearances this morning, they lead in with a story about how 2008 "may be the year of the cell phone". They mentioned that (can't remember exact #s) around 250 million people are using only cell phones, vs 150 million using land line phones.
- Corrosionx, on 12/18/2007, -2/+5So why then, have we invaded dozens of countries around the world? You know, countries that haven't attacked US? Would you like the list? It's very long...
Your view, and the neocon's, is unbelievably simplistic, and shows a complete lack of understanding regarding this issue. - Spectre74, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3No *****. They need to STFU already. It's part of the reason he doesn't get the proper respect.
- card51short, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3ssn who cares what they want? How do they have any means to take over the world and convert every citizen to a muslim?
I can sit here and say I want to fire bomb chicago and float around in a flying gorilla mobile tossing avocados into tornadoes does that mean our entire country's direction has to change to deal with it? That means the terrorists win, right?!
Bin Laden can say whatever he wants...he doesn't speak for a country and he doesn't speak for a religion.
There is NO way possible for us to rid the world of terrorists and if you think there is lets hear it. - Berkana, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3I want to hit Kiran Chetry (and by 'hit', I mean smack her, though the other sense of the word doesn't sound to bad either) for baiting Ron Paul to run as an independent. I wish CNN would cut that out. They ask him the same question every time, probably 4 or 5 times now if I remember correctly, and every single time, he's said the same thing. This is basically their propaganda attempt to try to get Republicans to not take him seriously, and it disgusts me. That's plainly not good journalism.
- card51short, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Corrosionx why are you arguing with the great ssn697?! Don't you know that he knows all and you are just a peasant in comparison?
If SSN says that invading and occupying countries makes the citizens rainbow loving, flower plucking lovers of Americans, then it does, OK?
Obviously, the arabs have some fatal flaw in them that makes them just want to randomly attack nations they feel are weak.
They are simply a barbaric breed of people and we, the civilized englightened ones, need to bomb them again and again until they are won over and become like us good people.
You see, we are the world police and if someone is attacking up for whatever reason, we are the ones that are going to drop the love bombs.
Now don't ever question this great American ever again. You ain't wit al k-der is ya, boay? - jefferygomer, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2You've got my interest. I would like to see that "very long" list, preferably with examples. You get brownie points if you provide dates too, but it won't be required.
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -2/+4The establishment is shaking in their boots right now, because they know there is a Revolution going on in the minds of many Americans and so many are waking up each day. I take Daniel Estulin's report seriously that he has inside information that the elites of Bilderberg are planning an assassination on Ron Paul. I pray it doesn't happen but we need to talk about it.
- homer4199, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2Smartest man alive.
- iPissExcellence, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2"If you're looking for trouble, you've found it."
- card51short, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2Please supply us a list of countries that were attacked by muslim terrorists.
I don't mean attacks in countries...I mean where they actually attacked the country in waging war.
Of course, you're going to put to individual attacks and bombings that had nothing to do with any nation. Just random fanatical attacks which happen all the time in every country. - Corrosionx, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2Yeah but it only gets traction because people there are so desperate and angry because the U.S. kills their friends and families, and because they live under dictators that we support according to our needs.
It's the whole difference between 500 Al-Qaeda nuts and a million. - JohnFive, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1"and shows a complete lack of understanding regarding this issue." *snickers*
We've had military bases in Saudi Arabia before 9/11.
FYI: Saudi Arabia is holy land.
Can you now put 2 and 2 together now? - Berkana, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1These guys do it better:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlPjsGFcXlg - inactive, on 12/18/2007, -2/+3Bin Laden has also said that he wishes to unite all Muslims and establish, by force if necessary, an Islamic nation adhering to the rule of the first Caliphs.
Al-Qaeda's ideology, often referred to as "jihadism," is marked by a willingness to kill "apostate" —and Shiite—Muslims and an emphasis on jihad. Although "jihadism" is at odds with nearly all Islamic religious thought, it has its roots in the work of two modern Sunni Islamic thinkers: Mohammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Sayyid Qutb.
Al-Wahhab was an 18th-century reformer who claimed that Islam had been corrupted a generation or so after the death of Mohammed. He denounced any theology or customs developed after that as non-Islamic, including more than 1,000 years of religious scholarship. He and his supporters took over what is now Saudi Arabia, where Wahhabism remains the dominant school of religious thought.
Sayyid Qutb, a radical Egyptian scholar of the mid-20th century, declared Western civilization the enemy of Islam, denounced leaders of Muslim nations for not following Islam closely enough, and taught that jihad should be undertaken not just to defend Islam, but to purify it.

- JohnFive, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1and they attack other countries around the world because those countries indirectly AND directly support the actions of the united states. irrational on their part, yes. but you know what, we were wrong first.
BLOWBACK - get familiar with it. - DonTazeMeBro, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1Very well spoken.
- looselips, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1You got me digging, here's the story:

I wish it provided more information, but still is some scary *****.
Time to consider donating more to secure he makes it.
I hope the "Ron Paul Revolution" slogan, stays that, and does not become the driving force behind a much bigger march. - Hortnon, on 12/18/2007, -1/+1orly
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -2/+2So again I ask, why have they attacked dozens of countries not involved in taking sides in the "Arab world" then?
- Berkana, on 12/18/2007, -1/+1In case you forget, Islam didn't arise until the 600's, nearly a thousand years after the last Old Testament prophet. Get your history straight.
So what's your point? That we should give them great propaganda material and boost their recruitment by occupying Iraq? If you think Bin Laden's Jihad is justification for our illegal and unjustified invasion of Iraq, you are deeply mistaken. Bin Laden's over arching doesn't make Ron Paul's analysis wrong; Bin Laden's jihad recruitment is only becoming more effective due to our current foreign policy. - inactive, on 12/18/2007, -3/+2So, you would rather live under fanatical Muslim rule?
Look, I can do it too! - inactive, on 12/18/2007, -4/+3Ah, the avoid the question tactic. Poorly executed, but not at all surprising. Are you on a "Blame the U.S." kick for their actions in countries that have nothing to do with us, or just unwilling to address it? My guess is both.
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -3/+2My POINT (since you can't seem to read) is that saying they are doing this because we are "over there" is incredibly naive. They want the whole world under their version of Muslim law. They point to the U.S. because we are the big bad symbol right now.
Has Bush made it worse? No doubt. But it didn't start with him, or even with the U.S. That is just this generation's excuse for wanting fanatical Muslim rule. Keep in mind, this is a ***** version of Islam. A vile, corrupted version of the religion (the latest in a long line of different religions being fanatical and corrupt). But it has been around for a long, long time. Not my fault your version of history only goes back as far as hating Bush years...
As for the Old Testament reference: yeah, take me literally, but let Ron Paul get by on "that wasn't what he meant". Well done. - inactive, on 12/18/2007, -4/+2So why then, have they attacked dozens of countries around the world? You know, countries that haven't invaded ANYONE? Would you like the list? It is very long.
Your view, and RP's, is unbelievable simplistic, and shows a complete lack of understanding regarding this issue. - inactive, on 12/18/2007, -2/+0What it do, it's Ron Paul the people's champ!
