Rand Paul endorses Romney

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senator Rand Paul, whose firebrand father Ron has effectively ended his White House bid but still seeks to grow his movement and influence Republicans nationally, endorsed party nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday.

Rand Paul is a conservative Tea Party favorite mentioned as a possible Romney vice presidential pick for the November election. He told the "Hannity" program on Fox News that the time was right to back Romney publicly.

Drudge Report Caught Lying About Ron Paul - WND Gets it Right

The above screen shot was taken May 14 2012 at the Drudge Report regarding a decision from the Ron Paul campaign reported at the Washington Times (Drudge doesn't actually contribute any content).

Drudge's headline quite clearly reads "Paul Out". Yet that is such a misleading headline that if a person was to not bother clicking on the link to the WT story one would naturally be led to believe that, since it's a picture of Ron Paul, Drudge is reporting that Ron Paul is "out" of the race, right? Just as he did with Bachmann, Gingrich, Cain, Perry, etc.

Yet this is totally and completely wrong. The Paul camp is simply re-routing funds to be more fiscally responsible. The Washington Times article is quite clear on this and Ron Paul is quoted as desiring his supporters to vote for him no matter where the campaign decides to spend it's money resources.

So Paul is not "out" and Drudge should be ashamed of himself for reporting like this and stooping to such a scumbag level.

Mr. Paul said he will continue to work to win delegates in states that have already voted and where the process of delegate-selection is playing out. He said that’s a way to make his voice heard at the Republican nominating convention in Tampa, Fla., in August.

Ron Paul hasn't been "out" for the last three elections. He is always campaigning - for a better country and a return to the basics of Republican values. We may not all agree on his methods but one thing is for sure - Ron Paul is not "out".

WND more accurately reported on this in their coverage here with the headline "RON PAUL ABANDONS HUNT But will continue to seek delegates in some states". Cudos to them.

UPDATE!... RON PAUL STATEMENT ON CAMPAIGN GOING FORWARD
“WE WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE LEADERSHIP POSITIONS, WIN DELEGATES, AND CARRY A STRONG MESSAGE TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION THAT LIBERTY IS THE WAY OF THE FUTURE.” – RON PAUL

Ron Paul Supporters - Red Herring Addicts

FLASH BACK - 1981: Israel bombs Baghdad nuclear reactor!

FROM THE BBC:

"The Israelis have bombed a French-built nuclear plant near Iraq's capital, Baghdad, saying they believed it was designed to make nuclear weapons to destroy Israel.

It is the world's first air strike against a nuclear plant.

An undisclosed number of F-15 interceptors and F-16 fighter bombers destroyed the Osirak reactor 18 miles south of Baghdad, on the orders of Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

The army command said all the Israeli planes returned safely.

The 70-megawatt uranium-powered reactor was near completion but had not been stocked with nuclear fuel so there was no danger of a leak, according to sources in the French atomic industry.

Mortal danger

The Israeli Government explained its reasons for the attack in a statement saying: "The atomic bombs which that reactor was capable of producing whether from enriched uranium or from plutonium, would be of the Hiroshima size. Thus a mortal danger to the people of Israel progressively arose."

It acted now because it believed the reactor would be completed shortly - either at the beginning of July or the beginning of September 1981.

The Israelis criticised the French and Italians for supplying Iraq with nuclear materials and plegded to defend their territory at all costs.

The statement said: "We again call upon them to desist from this horrifying, inhuman deed. Under no circumstances will we allow an enemy to develop weapons of mass destruction against our people."

The attack took place on a Sunday, they said, to prevent harming the French workers at the site who would have taken the day off.

There have been no reported casualties.

The Osirak reactor is part of a complex that includes a second, smaller reactor - also French-built - and a Soviet-made test reactor already in use.

Iraq denies the reactor was destined to produce nuclear weapons."

In 1981 Israel bombed the nuclear facilities in Iraq... with no casualties. The anti-war crowd in Ron Paul's camp are against striking Iran's facilities preemptively because of the babies and women and loss of life. Yet that is not at all what anyone is suggesting. Simply put, the US and Israel are not taking off the table the option to take out Iran's nuclear facilities militarily. That is all. Using the women and children, when they are not even in the equation, is called a "red herring". In debate, a "red herring" is anything that diverts attention from a topic or line of inquiry. So whenever the idea of taking out an Iranian nuke site is proposed they say "what about the women and children"?

Neither the Israelis nor the US are proposing war with Iran. Their response could lead to that but it would be their choosing. Israel simply wishes to eliminate the threat from Iran, even recently in fact, that they have Israel`s annihilation as a primary objective. See this post for more on that.

Ron Paul - A Modern Neville Chamberlain

Arthur Neville Chamberlain FRS (18 March 1869 – 9 November 1940) was a British Conservative politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. Chamberlain is best known for his appeasement foreign policy, and in particular for his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Germany. When Adolf Hitler continued his aggression by invading Poland, Britain declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, and Chamberlain led Britain through the first eight months of the Second World War.

Even though Chamberlain did see Hitler as dangerous, his policy assumed that Hitler was able to be contained and his aggression appeased by offerings of land owned by others. Is any of this sounding familiar? No? It will.

In spite of the Munich Agreement, the deal offered by Chamberlain to halt Hitler's aggression, the result simply empowered Hitler with the assumption that no one had the strength of character to stop him. In fact, when Hitler instructed his generals to prepare for an invasion of Poland, he told them, "Our enemies are small worms. I saw them at Munich." Any of this sounding familiar yet?

Ron Paul is dangerously close to this platform on Iran. Recently the Iranian government has made it perfectly clear that Israel is targeted for destruction. Yet Ron Paul is not concerned about this as far as American interests are related. Just as Neville Chamberlain was willing to hand entire regions of land to a tyrant, it seems Ron Paul is also willing to hand Israel over to the Persian thugs and ignore the fact that she is surrounded by her enemies. Add to this the cozy relationship Paul has with Russia, a friend of Iran in both trade and security council votes, and we see very similar attitudes toward dictatorships and threats from a afar. In fact, in this video, Ron Paul seemingly blames Israel for all of the problems in the Middle East.

Finally it should also be noted that Neville Chamberlain was a Christian. He invoked the safety and power of almighty God in many of his speeches. When war was finally declared on Germany after Hitler had already made considerable advances, taken much of Europe, and secured Sweden's Iron for weapons, Chamberlain said the following:

"Now may God bless you all. May He defend the right. It is the evil things we shall be fighting against—brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression, and persecution—and against them I am certain that the right will prevail"

Making the argument that Ron Paul is a "Christian" is meaningless in this debate. He's an isolationist; an appeaser. Like Chamberlain, Ron Paul would turn a blind eye to the evils in the world. He fails to see the transcendental reason God has given the eagle such strength. He would clip her wings and create a vacuum that would suck in all manner of depravity and tyranny. He would see the bulwark against a world-wide Islamic caliphate crumble and sanction the rise of a new Hitler. Ron Paul lacks the vision required to lead America. May God bless America by keeping him out of office.

FLASHBACK: "All the blame is on Israel" - Ron Paul

FLASHBACK: "All the blame is on Israel" - Ron Paul

This interview with Iran's state-run PressTV ran on January 5, 2009. Ron Paul says that the U.S. should stop supporting Israel, defends Hamas, excuses suicide bombing, and calls Gaza a concentration camp: "To me, I look at it like it's a concentration camp, and people are making bombs, like, they're the aggressors?"

Ron Paul SHREDS Declaration of Independence on ABORTION!

The Declaration of Independence makes a very bold claim. It says, among many other things:

`We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.`

Among these are "life". The declaration of independence is a federal document. It speaks of "all men". Not men in one state and not men in another. All men. And it specifically says "life" is a right. A right given by our creator. Life.

Yet Ron Paul doesn`t agree with this. He believes that some states should be allowed to take life by way of abortions. He thinks this should be a state issue and not a federal one. Watch in this video how Rick Santorum gives Ron Paul a lesson in American heritage.

Notice that Paul never refuted Santorum`s stats on his dismal voting record regarding abortion. Also notice that Paul never defended ignoring the Declaration`s bold statement that life is a right. This is clearly a federal issue. Paul`s position would allow abortion (murder) at the state level without federal protection. So if a state wanted to bring back lynching of blacks (or any other group) Paul would simply turn a blind eye saying "well, it`s a state issue". This is the ultimate result in Ron Paulŝ America!

The Bill of Rights is also not a friend of Ron Paul in this debate. The Bill of Rights guarantees freedom from cruel and unusual punishments and excessive bail. Since an unborn child is life, and pictures have shown there is no greater cruelty than what happens in the womb during an abortion, Ron Paul is on the wrong side of this from many angles.

Paul has also ignored federal election laws by taking money from a Russian entity, Russian government funded RT - a Moscow based television enterprise. The sum was 1 million dollars according to WND. It is also interesting to note that Ron Paul has seemingly been promoting Russian foreign policy on Iran and Israel. Russia denies any nefarious intent on the part of the Iranians which is convenient for them since they have benefited from the sale and assistance to Iran in acquiring nuclear material and intelligence.

Ron Paul is shady. Even his biggest supporter, Alex Jones, is a solid ally of RT and a consistent guest on the Russian television shows. The ties to Russian interests are too close for these two. Is it a mere coincidence that evidence shows Paul took money from the Russian government only to then back Russian foreign policy! Hardly. He should be asked to explain this. At the very least the fact that his foreign policy is in lock step with the Russians and his number one supporter openly attacks America on Russian television should be a red flag for even the most die-hard Paul supporter.

FLASHBACK: "All the blame is on Israel" - Ron Paul

Fact: Iran IS Out to Destroy Israel... the rumors are TRUE!

Well it really is amazing the level to which certain people will insert their heads into the sand. Like ostriches they carry around a view of the world which looks like everyone wants the same thing and if the war mongers would simply put their weapons away everything would be just dandy.

And the Paul-bots are the worst offenders; lashing out at the notion that Iran could possibly desire to do harm to Israel or the US. Lashing out at the notion that America somehow has a role to play in the world as a bulwark against tyranny and oppression from powers that would slit all of our throats given the slightest opportunity.

Yet that is the very reality we face every day. Protected we are from the harsh realities that exist outside our western walls. Protected by a mighty military force too powerful to be breached by Islamic fundies hell-bent on killing for Allah. And those who choose to ignore this existential threat do so resulting in the peril of us all. And when the evidence is presented they lash out saying "no, it cannot be. The military industrial complex is protecting big corporations and it's all made up hype".

It is a false accusation; a red herring designed to take one's attention away from the man having his head severed from his body in the name of Allah. It is ignoring the women having their clitoris removed or the daughters slaughtered in the name of honor. It is ignoring the stoning of the amorous caught in embrace. It is burying one's talent and an affront to almighty God.

America does have an assignment from heaven. It is her duty to be the wall against worldwide religious disease and hateful dogma. It is her God-given strength which causes pirates to tremble and fascist regimes to crumble. It is her influence which has caused prosperity to flourish and opened doors for the Gospel to go out into the whole world. It is her inventiveness and rugged individualism which has caused knowledge to increase and the ability to travel, both physically and virtually, which has done this. Without America there would be a new Hitler at our door steps with the passing of each generation.

And now we are faced with a new terror. Iran, or ancient Persia, is at a place of achievement. Iran is on the verge of having the most destructive weapon ever conceived. One bomb dropped on Japan killed 80,000 people instantly. That is one third of the population of that city - dead - in an instant. America did it to end a war. Iran wishes to start one.

The wife of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was assassinated in Tehran in January, said Tuesday that her husband "sought the annihilation of the Zionist regime wholeheartedly," according to Iran's semi-official Fars news agency.

"Mostafa's ultimate goal was the annihilation of Israel," the agency quoted Fatemeh Bolouri Kashani as saying Tuesday.

And now a website with close ties to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has outlined why it would be acceptable to kill all Jews and annihilate Israel.

Conservative site Alef has published a doctrine detailing why the destruction of the nation and the slaughter of all its people would be legally and morally justified.

The doctrine, first reported by WND.com, warned that the chance to remove the 'corrupting material' of Israel must not be lost - and that it would only take nine minutes to wipe it out.

And it said it was a 'jurisprudential justification' for Iran's Islamic government to then take the helm.

The article, written by Khamenei's strategy specialist Alireza Forghani, is now being run on most state-owned conservative sites, indicating it has the regime's support.

So the rumors really are true. Iran really is trying to gain the advantage so that it can wipe Israel off the map. It is receiving assistance from Russia, China, and North Korea. Let us reject the obtuse thought patterns which would reject the reality on the ground. Let us also reject any candidate which would applaud the objectives outlined by the Iranians themselves. Let us continue to fulfill our assignment from the Lord. Because, as Ronald Reagan once said, if America fails, the world has nowhere else to turn.

Glenn Beck Backs Paul over Newt to Prop up Romney and fulfill Mormon Prophecy

Glenn Beck is making news today backing a third-party run by Ron Paul over supporting Newt Gingrich. Is Beck a stupid person? No. Therefore there must be a sneaky play at work here - a bluff if you will. Here's how this may be playing out in Glenn Beck's mind.

There's a prophecy in Mormon doctrine called the "White Horse" prophecy. Could it be that Beck is covertly selling Newt as an impossible candidate in order to prop up Romney without making it too obvious? It sure could! Here are the prophecy details.

The White Horse Prophecy is a statement purported to have been made in 1843 by Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, regarding the future of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and the United States of America. The Latter Day Saints, according to the prophecy, would "go to the Rocky Mountains and ... be a great and mighty people", identified figuratively with the White Horse described in the Revelation of John. The prophecy further predicts that the United States Constitution will one day "hang like a thread" and will be saved "by the efforts of the White Horse".^[1]

Some have speculated, on the basis of the White Horse Prophecy, that Mormons expect the United States to eventually become a theocracy dominated byThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).^[2][3] The authenticity of the prophecy as a whole, which was not made public until long after Smith's death, is debated, and the leadership of the LDS Church has stated that "the so-called 'White Horse Prophecy' ... is not embraced as Church doctrine."^[4] However, the belief that members of the LDS Church will one day need to take action to save the imperiled US Constitution has been attributed to Smith in several sources and has been discussed in an approving fashion by Brigham Young and other LDS leaders.

Several prominent Mormons have made statements related to the White Horse Prophecy. For instance, US presidential candidate Mitt Romney has said he considers the White Horse Prophecy to be a matter of "speculation and discussion by [LDS] church members" and "not official [LDS] church doctrine."^[5]However, US senator Orrin Hatch and conservative commentator Glenn Beck, have stated that they believe the Constitution is "hanging by a thread".^[6][7]

Notice that both Romney and Beck are mentioned in that tutorial on the Mormon White Horse Prophecy. By publicly denouncing Gingrich to his millions of listeners and supporting Ron Paul as a third party candidate he has effectively called into question Gingrich's suitableness to be the GOP nominee since a third party conservative would certainly split the vote and hand Obama four more years - something no conservative would even dare dream of being remotely acceptable.

So with his clout he is trying to bring Romney up to the front of the class by tearing Gingrich down in the minds of his audience - and now even those who never actually listen to him. Glenn Beck is trying to fulfill Mormon prophecy by the looks of it. Best to ignore him completely.

Why Ron Paul will Never Be President

Ron Paul might be great for America. However he could not beat Obama because he is pro-individual and states rights. Most people wake up each and every morning looking for someone to tell them what to do. Paul operates from the viewpoint that each person should be accountable for themselves and theirs. Yet the Feds have entrenched the nanny state. Paul would have to kill large numbers of welfare leaches for his plans to work. He cannot win against the perceived needs of the population who want to be cared for by the government breast. Paul promotes pre-depression values in an entitlement world. The days of defending Walton's Mountain with a shotgun are over. Ron Paul's America no longer exists. I admire him - I really do - he is a reminder of a better time; a time when America's future was glorious. Now we have a debt too large to pay and we're all heading toward a one-world system like an out-of-control train looking for someplace to crash.

God bless Ron Paul. Unfortunately the people are slaves to the state and have lost sight of what real freedom means. The Bible predicts it an we are living it.

A one-world government system would not be possible with Ron Paul resisting it - auditing the puppet masters and such. The Bible predicts the whole world will come together under a common system - with a common form of currency... a mark. Holy scripture also predicted the rise and fall of America which is best outlined in this video.

Ron Paul is a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. There's only one way for Ron Paul to become President of these United States - step 1: build a time machine.
