Ron Paul answers a question from a medical marijuana patient

[Old Stoner]

Close a damn 'nuff for me, Breukelen. Bin Laden has STATED in one of his infamous tapes that he was behind 9/11. I'll have to search to find the damned thing...

I hope the find him and bar-b-que his ass.

Anywho, this post has migrated from what Ron Paul said about Cannabis to the war and then to bin Laden.

That is why I hate political boards... Everyone has an opinion, and we ALL know what opinions are like...

Ron Paul is, IMHO, a direct threat to national security. Period. READ his website. Other than liberating us potsmokers (which HE couldn't do if he WERE the president - remember those group of folks called CONGRESS?), I don't see but a few things that I actually agree on with him, although I am more of a fiscal conservative and a social libertarian.

Nope, Ron just won't fly with me. Nor Hillary, nor Osama Obama, nor Edwards (damned Jimmy Carter look/talk alike). Those four scare me. Bad.

STILL have not made up my mind. Researching the Libertarian candidate now.

In other interviews other than the tape that "he" confessed on (look at that link) he has claimed innocence and proclaims that attacking women and children is against Islamic Jihad law.

Bullshit. Then WHY do they regularly kill innocent women and children daily in Iraq, and elsewhere?

They (terrorists) will say anything when cornered. Yep, tha's what I'd do, believe a terrorist, who is KNOWN for the blatant disregard of women and children.

Hell, even the radical Islam they promote treat women like turds. Geez, some people never cease to amaze me...

Ron Paul was a guest on talk-radio 2 days ago ... he is as brainless and irresponsible, as anyone I have ever seen run for office ... anybody that would vote for that clown needs professional help ... end of rant :wtf:

Now "he" is "they"? Everyone is unique in their views, including militia-men (most non-biased term I could find).

Ron Paul is right on with his message. If the CIA would have never overthrown the Iranian government and enacted the Shah then we would probably have no problems with the Middle East, except for the US government's constant backing of everything Israel does. That term is called "blowback."

If someone raided my country and fucked shit up I know what I'd be doing...

All of this is because of Iran? The majority of the middle east has no time for Iran since they are the Shi-ite stronghold in the region.

As far as the Israel thing......which country has been twisting Israels arm now for years to sit down and negotiate with the Palistinians? Everytime there is a bit of success though you have assclowns like Hamas stating that they will not negotiate with the Jews and then start launching rockets from the areas given back to them.

Ron Paul, like his partner Alex Jones, has NO TIME for Israel and if the truth was know I think it goes farther than that.

If someone raided my country and fucked shit up I know what I'd be doing...

I know too.......you'd be on a web site stating on how it was all our own fault. After all, didn't the shit hit the fan AFTER 9-11?

Have a good one!:s4:

"I know too.......you'd be on a web site stating on how it was all our own fault."

Don't put words in his mouth. He didn't say that. The point is we don't have to pretend that we are attacked by terrorists for our freedom. Do you think we're completely innocent? Or 9/11 was just cause we're free? Us being in the middle east, makes them hate us, period. And you'd be a fool to claim otherwise.

(Dont twist this the other way and act like Im saying we deserve it - WE don't. However the government's actions have been terrible, and soon (election), WE will have the power to change the situation.

We were attacked on 9-11 which is why we have troops there....what else is there to think?

As for the freedom thing.......I replied to that in the other thread. NOT about that at all.

I didn't state that.......Ron Paul did in the debates. So now we are back to where this thread started.....the joys of Ron Paul.

Have a good one!:s4:

Yeah, makes perfect sense to me...15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens [http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2.../06/saudi.htm], Al-Queda was not welcome in Iraq under Saddam [http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0913-14.htm], so let's invade....Iraq!

I didn't state that.......Ron Paul did in the debates.

No he didn't. Ever. He made the connection between our foreign policy and blowback (which by the way the CIA and the 9-11 commission agree with him about), but he has never said "we deserved it".

Please, show me where he said it.

You know Thomas Jefferson said something very interesting, he told us to beware when the government takes your liberties/freedoms for security. This is exactly what our country has done for probably 100 years. The thing that blows me away is that Americans are satisfied with the government taking away their freedoms, we are too apathetic as a people. And Americans are too scared. Terrorists don't hate us because we're American, they hate us because our government has interfered in their countries. Another thing the founding fathers were adamant about is to trade with all countries but allign with none. If America is important to you you will vote Ron Paul, plain and simple. And if you don't know enough about him, read up. Everything he says is complete truth-and the proof is in the pudding, Paul has raised more money than ever imagined because his message is American.

CAIRO - The regime of Saddam Hussain rejected repeated requests from Jordan to hand over Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who now heads Al Qaeda in Iraq, the Jordanian king said in an interview published on Thursday.

King Abdullah II told the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat that Jordan exerted â??big effortsâ?� with Saddamâ??s government to extradite al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian sentenced to death at home for terrorist activities.

â??But our demands that the former regime hand him over were in vain,â?� Abdullah said.

â??We had information that he entered Iraq from a neighboring country, where he lived and what he was doing. We informed the Iraqi authorities about all this detailed information we had, but they didnâ??t respond,â?� the king said.

There was a connection not to mention the various other reasons mentioned earlier for invasion. As for the Saudi's.....Osama is too, what's the point? The Saudi government sure doesn't want the assclowns there.

No he didn't. Ever. He made the connection between our foreign policy and blowback (which by the way the CIA and the 9-11 commission agree with him about), but he has never said "we deserved it".

Please, show me where he said it.

Paul, who is more of a libertarian than a Republican, was trying to offer some perspective on the pitfalls of an interventionist policy by the American government in the affairs of the Middle East and other countries.

"Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years," he said.

"You Say Potato - I Say Potahtoe".......fact is he said MORE than enough! If that's not stating that we deserved a kick, it makes me wonder just how specific it has to be.

Have a good one!:s4:
