I agree with some of Paul’s economic views, some of them actually make sense, but I cannot vote for someone who hates Israel, just can’t do it. Yes that is exactly what I was referring to, that he would actually come up with the idea that Mossad would target Americans, is beyond insane. I appreciate your posts as well. I just dont think that Paul has any chance in the general election. Even Dick Morris said that Paul is even more far left then Obama(If that is even possible)

. . . that he would actually come up with the idea that Mossad would target Americans.

As I recall, it was someone else who spawned the suggestion, and Ron Paul added it to the mix. Here is a concern: both Israel and the USA are likely under the influence of people beyond our control who use $$$ to get more $$$ by creating chaos. Mob influence reaches high in our country. Big bucks. Mammon. Popularity. Power. I don't think it's much different for Israel. The older I get, the less I trust power in high places, no matter what country they're from. Look how Eric Holder's tenure is panning out. Should we think he's not on the take?

On the face of things Paul is left of Obama, but there is a quintessential difference, namely power vested in the State vs. power vested in the individual. As conservatives we both know this. Ron Paul articulates most clearly what attends to individual liberty and responsibility. It should come as no surprise that, to the extent folks make government their god, they cry out, "KOOK!" when confronted with the legal implications of being responsible for their actions as free individuals. There is a highly legitimate purpose for government as a means to civility and stability, for which we are bound to praise Christ Jesus. But there are also boundaries when it comes to good government, just as we've set up boundaries within which to practice it while we live this short life.

But please do not let this prevent you from carrying on as you were/are. I am happy and proud to have you next to me here, along with a good many who draw back from Ron Paul for reasons of their own.
