Re: An abuse of power for a good thing..
About Paul, i'd have to say I don't think it'll be enough. Hes getting into a VERY heated campaign schedule with the 4 big dogs, and overall its a popularity contest. I bet 8/10 house holds if you ask them would not know who Paul is, thats where the problem lies. Though perhaps, i admit, I might be pre-judging. But of course, generally speaking most voters don't even pay attention to the issues except for key ones (Abortion, War, Big business/small business), which is kinda scary.
I'd agree with you Israel is anti-Islam, but Pakistan (especially) along with every other middle eastern country that is founded in Muslim principals are pretty much anti-everyone also. This is according to their clerics, who pretty much have more power than their governmental leaders (thats if the clerics aren't that also, separation of church and state is non-existent in those countries).
I might be confused on your definition of Zionism, from the basic it pretty much means "The allowance of letting Isreal to be a Jewish state", which doesn't sound like a bad idea. The only bad conjugation I ever hear about it when used is from extremist Muslim clerics, the same ones who preach "death to America" and so forth who want to "reclaim Jerusalem."
Ahmadinejad, he's kinda a weird subject, I do think Iran should be allowed to get nuclear power, but it should be well observed and allowed to observed by the U.N. extensively to make sure thats all that is being built. Also more collaboration with US and UN to weed out terrorist in their own country (if there is any) is always a + in my book. Problem is he as right now is stubborn on all matters on the subject.
Gedron;1281708 said:Barnes(I like the name btw) I agree with you on most of your statement, but Paul has launched a very large campaign to raise money and hopefully make it to the primary. He ran in 88 and got 400,000 votes without half the stuff he is doing now. I hope he wins because immigration and the coming war in Iran is going to be very bad. Don't listen to the media, they have been called on misquotes such as the "Israel and USA will be wiped off the earth" statement they use almost everyday. Wolf Blitzer was actually called out on that by David Duke and I can assure you Duke was correct because I watched the Tehran conference and I heard what he said and it was nothing even related to that. Zionism is killing America, Israel says attack Iraq, we say no. Israel lies about nukes in Iraq so we then attack. Turn off your tv and do research yourself, some pretty scary stuff is going on right now. I dont understand how they have made Iran out to be so bad, Ahmadinejad supports womens rights and wants to expand Irans economy and Science industry. What is wrong with that? Nothing, but Israel hates Islam and apparently anyone not Jewish and wants to have them destroyed; so now there is a problem with it. And if anyone questions that than they are "anti-semitic". I used to be pro Israel until I actually started looking into what the media said, before I formed an opinion. I suggest everyone do the same because you cant trust a controlled media.
