Apparently, you are supposed to think you only have a choice this coming presidential election between a big-government, status-quo Democrat or a big-government, status-quo Republican and that no matter who you vote for, it will be for naught when it comes to tackling the deficit.…
What's funny about that is--as the editors of the NYT must surely be aware--that Ron Paul gets more support from members of the military than any other candidate.…
What’s most enlightening about the attacks on Dr. Paul and his views and positions is the fact that when you really get down to it, his sin is that he’s too unwilling to tow the official line on issues across the board, too willing to challenge the lies and war propaganda, and too honest with the American public about real issues.
So if you want a president willing to pander to Israel and do what Israeli leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu think is in Israel’s best interest–hardly synonymous with what’s in America’s best interest–then, yeah, don’t vote for Ron Paul.
This is the kind of asinine logic (or illogic, rather) that the media is insulting their audience’s intelligence with. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the mainstream media actually reported on the candidate’s actual views and positions on real issues?…
Ron Paul is “the best-known American propagandist for our enemies”, writes Dorothy Rabinowitz in a recent Wall Street Journal hit piece. To support the charge, she writes that Dr. Paul “assures audiences” that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 “took place only because of U.S. aggression and military actions”. It’s “True,”…
Ah, Thomas Friedman. You gotta love him. Here he is on December 20, 2011: With the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops from Iraq, we’re finally going to get the answer to the core question about that country: Was Iraq the way Iraq was because Saddam was the way Saddam…
A featured article in this month’s issue of Mother Jones is entitled “Rich People Create Jobs! And five other myths that must die for our economy to live.” If rich people don’t create jobs, where do they come from? Hmm… You can see where the argument is going. The gist…
David Frum, the Bush speechwriter who wrote Dubya’s “Axis of Evil” line, doesn’t like Ron Paul for president, and doesn’t think you should, either. He makes a pretty convincing case. Let’s look. Paul is “a boutique candidate, appealing to a very particular fringe within the GOP.” Yes, we wouldn’t want…
The Republican presidential candidates are falling all over themselves competing for who can be the most “pro-Israel”, with Newt Gingrich taking the game to a whole new level last week when he said in an interview with The Jewish Channel that Palestinians were an “invented” people. When asked whether he…
FPJ — Paul Krugman tried to slam Ron Paul in his most recent column by writing: Back in 1980, just as America was making its political turn to the right, Milton Friedman lent his voice to the change with the famous TV series “Free to Choose.” In episode after episode,…
FPJ — WWPKD? Much more than Ben Bernanke has done. In a recent New York Times op-ed, Krugman criticizes the Federal Reserve chairman following his much-anticipated Jackson Hole announcement for not doing enough to reduce unemployment and foster economic growth. But he spares Bernanke his strongest criticism, which he reserves…
Special to the Palestine Chronicle. The U.S. has long opposed any “unilateral” action on the part of the Palestinians to seek fulfillment of their right to self-determination, and there is a very real threat that if the Palestinian Authority goes to the United Nations in September seeking international recognition of…
“Dammit, make a decision.” A Times editorial: President Obama is fulfilling his promise to wind down the Iraq war. When he took office, there were about 142,000 American troops on the ground; now there are 46,000. All are supposed to be gone by Dec. 31 under a 2008 agreement between…
I previously observed how Paul Krugman recently argued that the U.S. government must not cut spending and balance the budget because running up endless debt that can never be repaid is good for the economy. You can go read what he said for yourselves, but that’s it in a nutshell.…
ABSTRACT NIST, in its draft report for public comment, initially denied that WTC 7 collapsed at the acceleration of gravity with the claim that an overall collapse time of 5.4 seconds was 40 percent longer than a free-fall time of 3.9 seconds for the first 18 stories. After being confronted…
“I have enormous sympathy for the foreign policy of George H. W. Bush.” — Senator Barack Obama, May 2008 Omissions of Grandeur The New York Times reports on a U.N. report that criticizes Israel for killing several protestors who attempted to cross the border fence from Lebanon in May. The…
The reason Iran's nuclear program has become so controversial has nothing to do with nuclear nonproliferation.…
FPJ — The New York Times this week reports under the headline “Taking Lead, Iraqis Hope U.S. Special Operations Commandos Stay” that the security situation in Iraq “may be at risk now that American forces are withdrawing this year” as per the U.S.-Iraqi Status of Force Agreement (SOFA). “Even as…
