It just seems that the OP wasn't really looking for debate, he's building a farcical argument which can't effectively be countered because it's based purely on opinion and is unsupported as a position.

Also, I never give neg rep. I either plus rep posts I like or agree with, or just ignore it. Everyone has a right to an opinion/position, just as I have a right to disagree.

Dr Paul on Iranian issue:



Ron Paul: We May Have to Accept Iran Nukes

Quote:
Do any of the other candidates really believe we should now start a war with Iran to prevent her from developing nuclear weapons? As John Derbyshire pointed out in his piece in the National Review, “Which Republican candidate advocates such a course of action? If the answer is ‘none’ [which of course it is], then what, in effect, is the difference between Dr. Paul’s Iran politics and that of Romney, Bachmann, Perry, and the rest?” Other than the phony rhetoric and demagoguery? Not a hill of beans.

On his Non-intervention stance:

Nonintervention: The Original Foreign Policy by Ron Paul

Instead of listening to the talking heads from the Lame Stream Media,
Listen to Dr Paul himself. You may just find that (shocker) what is being reported isnt what the man said.

I disagree with this 100%. I would suggest a little research..

What is funny is that the Paulites don't realize that even IF he were elected he would do as he was told, just as the others do.

More importantly, why should Israel be singled out as solely being deserving of American money? Why the specific calling out the end of foreign aid to Israel alone as a reason to declare someone "illogical" or other derogatory term? In your own post, Dr Paul said "he would respond if Congress declred war", in accordance with the Constitution, if DPRK attacked ROK, not that he would "ignore it" as the OP implied. That's trolling.

Ron Paul never said "Iran should have a nuclear weapon". He said it's not our place to say whether or not IRR "can" have a nuclear weapon. So that, with respect to the OP, is out and out lying. If not an intentional lie, it is either an intentional misrepresentation of a political position to foster animosity, or an unmitigated display of ignorance.

How is that NOT trolling?
he has made it a point for the US to take a neutral view on Israel and Palestine

Neutrality on Israel-Palestine; start by defunding both

It is sort of a contest: should we be pro-Israel or pro-Arab, or anti-Israel or Anti-Arab, and how are we perceived doing this? It is pretty important.

But I think there is a third option that we often forget. Why can we not be pro-American? What is in the best interests of the US?
I believe that it is in the best interests of the United States not to get into a fight, a fight that we do not have the wisdom to figure out. I would like to have neutrality. That has been the tradition for America, at least a century ago, to be friends with everybody, trade with everybody, and be neutral unless someone declares war against us.
The perceptions are yes, we have solidarity with Israel. What is the opposite of solidarity? It is hostility. So if we have solidarity with Israel, then we have hostility to the Palestinians.
I have a proposal. We should start by defunding both sides. I think we can contribute by being more neutral. Source: House speech, in Foreign Policy of Freedom, p.177-178 Dec 15, 2001

So-called "conservatives" maunder on about cutting foreign aid, but they don't really mean it. At least Paul means it. What "conservatives" really mean is "cut foreign aid to people I don't like, but keep the spigots flowing to my favourite aid cases. That's why "conservatives" should never be taken seriously. They're not serious.

I don't think there is a reason to edit your post, I think the OP assumed those points of view were well known.

Also lets not forget, we are still at war with DPRK

when you say foreign aid, are you talking money only? Aid can come in many forms

Personally,I'm inclined to agree with him on that topic. Personally, I don't give a rat's posterior about either the Israeli's or the "other Arabs that the rest of the Arab world wants nothing to do with."

That however doesn't really address my question of why the position of ending all foriegn aid only becomes a flashpoint when Israel is named. Why should it be okay to end foreign aid to Bolivia, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Tibet, Lithuania, and Azerbaijan, but if you say "let's stop spending $3B per annum on Israel" people s**t the bed and start calling other people lunatics? That's the question I'm asking. I'm aware Dr Paul has said he would end fical and military aid to Israel, I'm asking why it's a bigger deal then say, ending foreign aid to Nigeria?

Edit: Also, the Iran thing is total and complete hogwash.
