VIDEO: Ron Paul Is Crazy As Usual At CPAC
Here’s Ron Paul’s address to CPAC.
Allah sums up why this guy isn’t worth taking seriously:
Skip ahead to 13:35 for the start of the foreign-policy passage — a few minutes in, he recycles the bogus Lancet statistic of a million Iraqi deaths from the war — or to 16:20 for a history lesson that culminates with Afghanistan and begins with the claim that our entry into World War I somehow led to hundreds of millions of deaths in the 20th century. This, of course, is why the left appreciates him even though his economic philosophy’s anathema: There’s no violence anywhere in the world that he can’t blame on American policy. As long as we have troops stationed abroad and favor some nations over others, we’re guilty of original sin; he’s that fanatic an isolationist. Except, that is, when his political future’s on the line, as it was after 9/11 when the country supported Bush’s invasion of Afghanistan overwhelmingly and Paul quietly went along. Didn’t he “know anything about history”?
What’s frustrating about Paul is that, on specific issues, he’s great. But on others he goes so far off the tracks as to not even be worth taking seriously.
The man is a crank. Very good at standing on the sidelines and throwing rocks at everyone else, but if this man were ever elected to lead we’d be in serious trouble.
