Fewer politicians irk me like Ron Paul. Recently, he condemned the Obama administration for assassinating Al-Awalki, an American citizen who has played an invaluable role in recruiting American citizens to join the ranks of Al Qaeda. Now, Paul has condemned Obama for disregarding the American Constitution that guarantees all Americans a free trial. By assassinating Al-Awalki, Obama has killed an American citizen without due process, and represents a significant step toward tyranny. In fact, Obama might even be impeached over this attack!

As my readers know, I am no fan of Obama. However, he has proven to do one thing right: He is not afraid to go after celebrity terrorists who inspire random acts of violence against American citizens. Kudos goes to Obama and Pinetta for a job well-done! Paul sees nothing wrong with going after individuals whose actions pose a certain danger to the general populace. Al-Awalki definitely qualifies as a rodef—a man who is hell-bent to kill as many innocents as he possibly can.

Ron Paul is not only an enabler for men like Al-Awalki and bin Ladin, he is a well-known for his anti-Israel policies.

Last February he proposed legislation to cut all aid to Israel. Some apologists for Paul complained that Paul did not single out only Israel. I double-checked the sources and found out that his apologists were partially correct. They contend Paul urged that the United States ought to cut aid to Egypt, Pakistan, the PLO, Iraq, and Israel, and probably some other countries like Germany and Japan. Paul supporters claim that they are not “anti-Israel” in neither their tone or rhetoric, after all—he included other countries as well! Paul doesn’t care whether the withdrawal of American monies might endanger the Jewish State. On other occasions he has referred to Israel as an “imperialistic power.” I have often wondered whether Al Qaeda wrote or inspired Ron Paul’s political speeches.

Isn’t odd that the United States gives away billions of dollars to countries who consistently vote against the U.S., but when it comes to Israel, Paul always complains about Israel? This is despite the fact Israel supports the U.S. 97% of the time, and Israel has never defaulted on a loan. Egypt, Pakistan, and Jordan have defaulted several times and recently Obama tried to bribe the Egyptians by forgiving one billion dollars worth of debt. Oy, such a foolish President, but compared to Ron Paul, Obama sounds like Einstein-with his teleprompters! Ron Paul is different; a straight-jacket would suit him fine! (Pardon the pun.)

Lastly, for the record, he doesn’t care if anti-Semites like Paul has accepted money from Don Black, the founder of Stormfront, and a notorious neo-Nazi, who donated $500 to help elect Ron Paul for President.

Let’s wish Ron Perry and Ron Paul the blessings of the Czar. We do not need any more crackpots and fools from Texas invading the White House. (Sorry Texans, you need to find better leaders.) Mr. Obama, I hope you kill the rest of the Al Qaeda crazies before you get voted out of office.
