Ron Paul Hates The United States

There is no delicate way to put this. After years of running for president as well as his decades in congress, combined with his positions on everything from equal rights to economics , the truth is self-evident.

Ron Paul Hates America.

But don’t tell him that. He loves America in his eyes. The problem is that the America he loves is a fantasy, it never existed. The true America he detests, and loathes. Why else would be call for a second civil war? Why else would he attend an anti-semitic conference? Why else indeed.

He is just exploiting the ill-informed. Ron Paul’s ties to shady groups demonstrate how he is one of the most corrupt members of congress. His activities waste taxpayer money on pointless symbolic measures which have no real value, pandering to the ill-educated for votes. He has engaged in schemes to sell off public property to pad his own pockets, has been found involved in bribery scandals, and in a show of hypocrisy he collects social security while trying to cut it for everyone else.

<snip>

While he has denied it, he has many racist fans. Even Apple’s Siri is a fan. But in reality he is a white supremacist, supported by neo-nazi’s. Some even have claimed he is a firm believer in Nazi ideology. Likely because he pals around with neo-nazis.



Breaking down his time in public office, his positions, his votes, and his actions since leaving, there is no other way to put it – Ron Paul Hates America.

(Israeli President) Peres expresses support for same-sex marriage

Source: Ynet News

In Mexico, President Peres stresses support of same-sex couples' right to wed, start families while enjoying same rights as heterosexuals. Meanwhile, two bills attempting to legalize same-sex marriages make their way through Knesset

GUADALAJARA – President Shimon Peres expressed unequivocal support for same-sex marriage during a state visit to Mexico.

In an interview with Ynet on Sunday while in Mexico's Guadalajara, Peres said that "even a person who is a homosexual is a human being, and he has rights. We have no power to take away (their) rights."

Peres added: "We cannot take away someone's rights because they are different. We cannot take away their right to breathe, right to eat or right to start a family. We must allow everyone to live as is natural to them."

Peres' comments came in response to a new bill being promoted by the Justice Ministry called 'Living together' which attempts to regulate some form of a civil partnership between same-sex couples. The government is not scheduled to vote on the bill any time soon, but a memorandum signed by Justice Minister Tzipi Livni in its favor is being circled around.

So, is their theory someone untied the boat from the mooring and didn't know how to start the engine

... and then the boat just drifted away with this dude onboard?

Like, the dude didn't know he needed to put a key in the ignition or something?

"Hey, I like that boat. I wonder if I can steal it. Well, I'm not doing anything else right now, so I'll give it a try. I bet I can download the owner's manual from the internet on my smart phone."

Or maybe he got it started, but it ran out of fuel or he over-taxed the engine?

Or maybe the owners called OnStar and had them remotely turn-off the engine once it was stolen?
