Why Joseph Farrah will not support Ron Paul

I won't suuport Ron Paul, because I don't want a lot of Americans to die. I want a realist, like Tom Tancredo.

 

Hey, poncho, what do you thinkg of describing Germany and Japan during World War II as totalitarian capitalist regimes?

 

Now, on the subject of Mr. Farah, here is the email that sent him on Friday night:

Sorry, Joseph, but invading Iraq had nothing to do with fighting "an enemy that seeks America's destruction". And advocating withdrawing our troops from Iraq is not "running up the white flag of surrender". We should have wiped out al Qaeda and its Taliban allies in Afghanistan instead of losing our focus and going after a country that has never attacked these United States.

I think you need to balance your reading with something other than books and articles written by neo-"conservatives". I read and listen to what neo-"conservatives" write and say but I also read and listen to other points of view(such as Ron Paul's) as well that make way more sense than what neo-"conservatives" say.

If you want to support the warfare state side of the welfare state/warfare state coin go ahead. As for me, I refuse to support either side of the big government coin minted by supporters of Leviathan.

 

That would now have to be amended to include those who support the views of the original neo-"conservatives"(big government at home, foreign adventurism abroad), such as Bill Kristol the son of one of the principle founders of the movement, Irving Kristol.

Neo-"conservativism" is in no way supportive of conservativism - if one associates limited government with conservativism. It is simply liberalism made over. Therefore, a neo-"conservative" is not a former liberal or socialist as a neo-"conservative" is presently a liberal or socialist.

 

As a Ron Paul supporter I have no illusions that the idea of liberty will prevail in the Republican Party nor in the general election in 2008. But as Christians we should be leading the way when it comes to putting principles ahead of "who can win" when it comes to our political support.

 

As Christians, we should be listening to the Holy Spirit, when we get in the voting booth.

 

If voting based on listening to the Holy Spirit isn't putting principles ahead of voting for "who can win" then I don't know what priniciple is.

 

Then why do you support them? Neoconservatives that have any power tend to be on the fascist side of the fence or at least tend to think man was made for the benefit of the state and poo poo the idea that the state only serves to protect individuals liberties. Those founding fathers, what a hoot, eh! The idea that government is there to protect individuals rights and not turn them into priviledges that the state can deny at any time.

 

You got me.

 

Ken you may have to do some further explaining on this one. I've been busy defending the U.S. Constitution against a bunch of die hard nationalists and internationalists all day, my old thinker is getting pretty tired.

 

Mainly based on those imperialist powers not subscribing to the Communist theory of economics.

 

Come to find out capitalism has been fairly easily combined with other isms, like socialism, fascism, communism and imperialism, right here in the good ole USA. And most of the population is none the wiser about it...or so it would seem.

I see no reason why Germany and Japan couldn't be totalitarian capitalist states, we're swiftly moving in that direction ourselves.

 

This matter becomes a question of whether or not corporatism is synonymous with capitalism. However, the results and the point is the same, the bad guys will use any -ism they can to consolidate power and bring in their anti-Christ one world government.

 

For the most part, I like Joseph Farah and think that he's a pretty well-informed individual. But he's just dead wrong about Ron Paul.

Joe gets a big thumbs down in this case.
