Ron Paul On NYC Mosque: Should We Blame Christianity For McVeigh’s Actions?

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Does our Bible dictate that we wage Jihad on non-Christians?

Does our Bible dictate that hunt down and murder Jews?

Does our Bibke dictate that we convert, enslave or kill non-Christians?

More proof that the Paul family is out of their collective tree. There is NO comparison between what motivated McVeigh and what motivated Attah and his gang of thugs.

[trisham]

Apples and oranges. And yes, Ron Paul is deranged.

[mnehring]

The Thule society.

[Waryone]

That just means will have to castigate all agnostics on the right and the left, just to be fair.

[spodefly]

Total Bullshit.

Mcveigh said “Science is my religion.” He was not a Christian, not did he do what he did in the name of Christianity. Nor was he instructed by Christianity to do any such thing.

[trisham]

That’s the worst toupee I’ve ever seen.

Thanks mnehring.

Apparently, it did produce some interesting research.

Got back to 2003-2004 and you got democrats trotting out Britweiser and the other Jersey 9/11 democrat gals playing make believe independents attack Bush on MSNBC/CNN or 9/11 attacks day after day.

If Republicans could get some 9/11 widows or families on camera giving their opinion on this it would go a long way. They would be the 9/11 widows that MSNBC doesnt give a crap about.

Ron Paul has now officially done this:

[CajunConservative]

He needs to STFU. Senile old crackpot.

[rrrod]

He is reaching and grabbing.......his vile scummy hate America followers must be going nuts LOL.

[Lakeshark]

Who do we blame for Ron Paul being a retard?

Him.

But making fun of his followers on FR has its rewards..........

Atheism and nihilism INEVITABLY lead to worship of the State, and all power given to the State,

IMHO (and to defend our Atheist FRiends here), it isn't Atheism itself but in the State controlling belief, such as in Communist countries that dictated Atheism or in Islamofascist countries. When you have a central authority telling you what to believe in regards to faith, they are stripping away the very core of your individuality. It is Collectivism of the soul. In Communist countries, it was done in the name of Atheism just like it has been done in various totalarian countries throughout time. Atheism itself doesn't lead to worship of the State- some of the strongest anti-collectivist voices have been Atheists or Agnostics (Thomas Paine, Ayn Rand, etc). As Christians, it is hard to understand from their point but I know from being friends with so many that they have just as strong of a moral compass as we do.

[Lakeshark]

Pssst.

The fun is over here.........

You know I agree with RP on many issues and I'm trying to figure out how I hate America. Is it because I disagree with the government's foreign policy that I hate America? Does it mean that I hate America because I think that the government's rules of engagement on the battle field are too strict and killing US warfighters?

I didn't know that the government represented the what America truly is.

Oscar Wilde said it best, "patriotism is the virtue of the vicious."

[rockrr]

Worth repeating: Ron Paul = Moron.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Did I miss something??? Did Timothy McVeigh claim to be acting on the tenants of the Christian faith? It appears he may at least have been baptized as a Catholic, but I think I would have noticed if the RC had been preaching world murder and mayhem. Really, I would. Unlike others who sit through homilies and sermons and have no idea of what is being preached, I do.

I think this argument is truly an empty, vacuous attempt at an analogy which isn't. I like Ron Paul for a myriad of reasons, but his foreign policy and some of the stuff he pulls out of his posterior really makes me think he's not all there.

Careful now. We don’t wish to offend retards!

My only defense of FNC is this - it’s a public corporation and it can’t dictate who may or may not buy its shares in the open market.

Yes, bin-Talal has been given a number of audiences with Murdoch and his executives, but bin-Talal is one of, perhaps the biggest, individual shareholder. This kind of management/shareholder dialogue is unavoidable.

I would be open to a conversation about the Federal Government limiting even stock ownership of American media companies (they already prohibit controlling interest - I believe). But, short of additional Federal regulation, there’s not much Murdoch can do about who owns large chunks of his company.

Murdoch and Alwaleed have a direct working relationship....its more than just a stockholder buying shares. Alwaleed and Murdoch are basically running Al-Jazeera II in the Middle East. Alwaleed’s shares of NewsCorp/FNC is over 2 billion dollars...and is Alwaleed’s biggest investment.

This is more than just a stockholder with shares....Alwaleed is working directly with Murdoch...and Alwaleed’s donation to the 9/11 Terrorist Shrine is very troubling....and Murdoch needs to dump all ties with his Suadi friend.

And, a heckuva lot more troubling than Ron Paul’s weird and ignorant comments
