Israeli and Former Ron Paul Aide Says Paul IS NOT Anti-Israel

Posted on December 28, 2011 by freedom

Dr. Leon Hadar, an Israeli and U.S. citizen who advised Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul in his capaign in 2008, rejects characterization of Paul by ex-aide Eric Dondero as wishing Israel ‘did not exist at all.’

The Israeli publication Haaretz spoke with Dr. Hadar on Tuesday and he discounted Paul’s characterization as being anti-Israel, saying: “He is against Israel as I am against January. He is just against foreign aid, and does not see any reason to grant an aid to a country that is a member of OECD.”

“We should remember it’s the primaries, and the Republican party establishment is not happy about his popularity, because on many issues his positions run contrary to the traditional party’s agenda,” Hadar added.

The former aide also indicated that Rep. Paul was in favor of “economic cooperation with Israel.” Continue reading →

Disagree with Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy and Policy on Israel?

Posted on December 27, 2011 by freedom

Some conservatives are saying they disagree with Ron Paul’s foreign policy. Please consider this; I’d rather disagree with Ron Paul’s foreign policy than his domestic policy! Obama’s domestic policy is to tax businesses to the point that they can’t hire anyone. The United States currently has the highest corporate/business tax in the world! Ron Paul would end that! He’d also cut an INCREDIBLE amount of wasteful spending that our current government does with our tax dollars.

Just those two things are reason enough to elect Paul. And on top of that, concerning his foreign policy, we’ve got to come to grips with the fact that we can’t afford to police the world anymore. We’re broke! People are acting like we can have a conversation about the issues while ignoring that fact. Continue reading →

Ron Paul Predicts Terror Attacks Back in 1997

Posted on December 16, 2011 by freedom

I’m not sold on the idea that the United States caused the terror attacts of 2001. I don’t blame my country because the folks who attacked us are nuts and are outside of the mainstream of their religion. But, I also am beginning to see that stirring up a hornets’ nest, even if I’m trying to help them, shouldn’t make me think I’m safe from their angry stings.

Lately Ron Paul has been making a lot of sense to me. He seems to be the only politician to actually realize how deeply in debt we are and how enormous the government has become in size and control of American lives. He’s proposing some major cuts in spending from our entagled government bureaucracy and, though I noticed this while supporting other candidates, seems to be the only politician that is reacting based on the reality of the mess we’re in. Senator Paul has received some criticism from Republican talking heads for his foreign policy of pulling most of our military back from around the world saying that we can’t afford to “police the world” as he calls it and that we could put more money into defense instead of military bases and expenses in other countries. He also says that pulling out of certain places could make us safer simply because those other countries wouldn’t have the irritations we might cause by our presence and interference in their business. It’s hard to know how they’re going to react or if we’ll make new enemies from fringe groups within their population.

And I wasn’t sure exactly if he was right about that. But it’s hard to argue with the fact that Senator Paul actually predicted terrorist attacks on the U.S. back in 1997 from the sources that attacked us because the evidence was there that the radicals were beginning to plan a display of rebellion and backlash to our presence. Here’s the video:

You have to admit, he was ahead of the time in knowing what would happen. And now I’m wondering if we’d help ourselves by electing a man now who can navigate the coming future. Though I would vote for other candidates against Obama if it came to that, I’m really liking Ron Paul right now. He seems the most serious about shrinking the government down to the size intended by the writers of the Constitution.

Obama vs. Obama on Tax Increases During Weak Economy

Posted on September 20, 2011 by freedom

Not long ago, Obama warned that raising taxes in a struggling economy is “the last thing you want to do.”

In a 2009 interview with Chuck Todd, Obama said, “The last thing you want to do is raise taxes in the middle of a recession because that would just suck up – take more demand out of the economy and put business further in a hole.” Source

Yet now, with the economy in the worse shape of his presidency and since the “Great Depression” he wants to raise taxes on businesses…in addition to the coming 2013 tax increases that he has already passed that would make us the single highest corporate/business taxer on earth while other countries are falling over themselves to lower taxes so that their businesses can compete in the global economy?

Yep, that’s what he said.

High Taxes Hurting UK Say Economists

Posted on September 7, 2011 by freedom

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14810323

UK economists state that the tax rate makes the UK “less competitive internationally, and is making us less attractive as a destination for both foreign investment and talented workers”.

It has done and IS DOING the same thing over here. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that high taxes prevent corporations from hiring and from having competitive prices in the global market. The United States is the second highest taxer of businesses/corporations on earth. I wish Obama would admit that as Bill Clinton did. But Obama refuses to even humor the idea. He’ll bow to his socialistic philosophy no matter what it does to our economy and our people.

Obama Proposes Cuts to Social Security and Medicare

Posted on July 7, 2011 by freedom

The Obama administration, in seeking $4 trillion in spending cuts in a debt limit deal, has put major cuts to Social Security and Medicare on the table to address debt and deficit problems in addition to his proposed tax increases. See http://news.yahoo.com/obama-puts-medicare-social-security-cuts-table-031442907.html

So will Democrats be consistent and call Obama out on this? Will they be outraged? Or because it’s the “messiah” will they just change their opinions on it like they have with everything else he’s done to us? Obama is proposing that the government come at us in two ways – 1. Cut Medicare and Social Security and 2. Raise Taxes.

How about cutting the government’s perks for a change? Go here to see what’s on the taxpayer’s tab that could and should be cut.

Pawlenty Says Obama ‘Out of Ideas’ on Economy

Posted on June 13, 2011 by freedom

June 12 (Bloomberg) — Republican presidential candidate and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty said his economic growth proposal would reduce taxes and make cuts to mandatory and discretionary government programs. Taken together, the policies would “unleash economic growth,” he said.

President Barack Obama is “leading from behind” when it comes to addressing the economy, Pawlenty said on the Fox program. “He has run out of ideas,” he said. “We have tried it his way, and it doesn’t work.” Source

This is very true. President Obama could make a good case for purposefully damaging the economy. His only policies have been to give billions of tax payer dollars to companies that have mismanaged their money and to propose a plethera of tax increases on Americans and businesses.

Obama Takes Credit for Spending Cuts He Fought

Posted on April 9, 2011 by admin

Does anyone else see the irony and the repeat of history? When Bill Clinton was in office he was spending like the dollar was going out of style and like we loved working half the year to fund his whims. Then the Republicans took over the House and Senate and brought out the Contract With America. Their proposed cuts were refused by Democrats and the President. So the government shutdown talk happened and a tad more. Finally there was compromise and the budget was balanced. We even went into surplus. Clinton didn’t want that. He wanted to spend more and lamented his compromise with Republicans who were a bunch of tight wads in his eyes. But then Clinton bragged about balancing the budget and getting spending under control, we he had to give in to that Republican demand and had spend like a madman when he had his party backing him in the House and Senate.

Flashforward to Bush. Democrats controlled the House and Senate and we went further and further into debt. Bush was blamed for that debt and Democrats mascaraded as fiscal conservatives. Until….

Obama gets in office and, channeling Bill Clinton to the extreme, has spent us into record debt, record deficit and record dollar devalue. The Republicans took control of the House and basically evened out the Senate. They’ve tried to cut spending and Obama has fought them every step of the way, even proposing new spending bills (source, source) as though he were smacking them in the face. Finally, the Republicans were too strong to overcome and with public opinion shaking a finger in his face Obama compromised and bragged about how he gave in to Republicans. And yet he’s already trying to take credit for the “largest spending decrease in U.S. history.” The very spending decrease he fought tooth and nail and opposed and didn’t want. He didn’t want to cut at all and then gave into pressure to cut but only what amounted to pocket change compared to his spending and debt. But Republicans wouldn’t allow that little to be cut. He had to keep raising what he’d be “willing” to cut trying to pull them down from the plan they wanted. Finally, with a government shutdown looming, he gave into over 60 percent of what Republicans wanted. And yet he now wants to take credit for something he didn’t want. This wouldn’t have happened if Democrats had retained power. They already had more spending plans in place.

But, as history has showed us, if spending is cut and the budget is balanced because Republicans insisted on it, the Democrat President will claim credit for it because it’s popular with the people to NOT have their money completely wasted with no end in sight. Yet Republicans in this House and Senate are the ones who spearheaded this. I laughed outloud when I heard Obama take credit for something he opposed and called, “a distraction.”

Are there any Democrats out there who are honest and will admit that Obama and Democrats are being pathetic and hypocritical? I doubt it.

Paul Ryan On Dangers of Government ‘Dependency and Passivity’ in United States

Posted on April 6, 2011 by admin

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan spoke at the American Enterprise Institute Monday and warned that the country is at a “tipping point” in its debt crisis that threatens to “curtail free enterprise” and lead to a “gradual moral-political decline as dependency and passivity weaken the nation’s character.”

The Wisconsin Republican detailed in the Wall Street Journal the magic numbers everyone has been waiting for: $6.2 trillion in cuts from President Obama’s budget over the next decade; $4.4 trillion in deficit reduction, as compared to Obama’s promised $1.1 trillion.

In his noontime AEI address, Ryan argued that keeping the budget on its current path would “weaken our national identity in ways that may not be reversible.”

“This budget charts a new path,” Ryan said. “It represents a new federal commitment, assuring this nation’s workers, investors and entrepreneurs that the new House majority recognizes the threat that unlimited government poses to the American way of life.”

Reining in the size and scope of government, he added, “should not be a partisan issue.” More from Representative Paul Ryan

Schumer Caught Telling Democrats to Smear GOP

Posted on March 31, 2011 by admin

It turns out, according to the New York Times and NewsMax.com that Senator Schumer (Democrat) didn’t know reporters were listening to a conversation he was having with fellow Democrats. The reporters were waiting to interview him on a cell phone conference call and he didn’t realize that the call had started.

“I always use the word extreme,” Schumer told his fellow Democrats. “That is what the caucus instructed me to use this week.”

Rather than talk about issues or facts, liberals resort to name calling. After all, if you think the government shouldn’t be so massive that we can’t afford it and you think that the government should spend less rather than increasing taxes you are an extremist. And that name sounds so much worse than talking about the other part.
