Scary times ahead? Perhaps, if you take credence in what Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, says.

Paul, who had a strong grassroots following during the 2008 presidential election, explained on Glenn Beck's Sept. 30 radio program that perilous times lie ahead due to the Federal Reserve's loose monetary policy. Host Glenn Beck asked if voices on the left, including the left-wing media, were right - would their be violence and is this an effort to pin it on the conservative movement.

Beck began by asking how an Israeli strike against Iran might trigger problems with the American financial system.

...more (w/video)...

[Rufus2007]

Maybe this is vintage Ron Paul, but hearing about violence and secession in the near-to-mid term future is something I'm surprised not a lot of people have said anything about...

[Carley]

Of course it’s vintage anti semitic Paul

[Nachum]

I suppose that an Iranian nuke on the US, Europe or Israel would have no effect at all...

[Rodebrecht]

Disagree with what he says so call him an “anti-semite”. Kind of like when Dems call an Obama critic a “racist”.

[LdSentinal]

Vintage Nazi Ron Turd.

He and Jimmy Carter are quacks.

[JasonC]

"a strong grassroots following"

How many votes? Oh, right...

[McGruff]

So Doctor Paul wants us to wait until Iran launches a missile into Texas?

[FightThePower!]

Ron Paul Rocks!

[Frantzie]

Agree. I have never heard him say anything anti-semetic. He has said no foreign for ANY country. America first.

[Frantzie]

There is a musl** in the White Hut. The U.S. is not going to do anything against Islam or productive for now and maybe in the future.

The commander in Afghianistan is ignored and troops there cannot shoot back. The world changed last November.

[khnyny]

I don’t know much about Ron Paul, but I do know he was absolutely correct in his dire warnings regarding the US economy. Dead on.

[FightThePower!]

You are a statist. Don’t call yourself a conservative. You are a fan of big government and high taxes. Lets call a spade a spade, eh?

[LdSentinal]

Ronald Reagan was big supporter of Israel's right to defend itself.

I call myself a conservative.

And I will call Ron Turd and all of his supporters what they truly are:

RETARDED NAZIS.

[KevinDavis]

Well I hate say this, but the American First movement died when Japan bomber Pearl Harbor. Ron Paul is a nut when it comes to Foreign Policy..

[Stepan12]

Obviously, Iran performing an emp strike on the U.S. and/or handing off one of their nukes to Al Qaida to use on us would be just dandy for our economy.

Tell us more, Dr. Paul.

[ari-freedom]

so what will happen is that israel will have to strike Iran and it will be very difficult for the US....totally avoidable if the US took care of this problem itself.

[ari-freedom]

George HW Bush turned his back on Israel...and he was the one who actually raised taxes.

[ari-freedom]

“Tell us more, Dr. Paul.”

wait...he’s still looking up Rothbard’s books to see if he has any answers.

[FightThePower!]

Calling someone a Nazi when they are not even close makes you look like a fool.

[the long march]

Ron Paul —— oh yeah that guy who just loves Lew Rockwell Jr. Yeah I trust him for all my info
