When Neocons Say 'America,' They Mean the State

More precisely, they mean the killing, taxing, spying, torturing, regulating, conquering, occupying executive branch. Here the bitter Dorothy Rabinowitz is horrified to discover non-neocon beliefs, libertarian ideas inspired by the Golden Rule, gaining more and more supporters, thanks to Ron Paul. Neocons believe in what they call the "Noble Lie." More properly, it's the Big Lie. (Thanks to Brad Funkhouser)

Pay No Attention to Ron Paul

Howard Fineman tries to redline Ron's sound and moral idea on Iran as "extremist." Bombing people, on the other hand, is moderate.

Ron Paul, a Force for Peace

Writes leftie icon Tom Hayden:

"Iowa polling for now shows Rep. Ron Paul leading the Republican pack. Peace and justice advocates should re-examine the profound establishment demonizing of Paul's 'isolationism' and realize that the Congressman represents a genuine strain of opposition to empire – in the long tradition of populism and progressivism, Robert LaFoillette and Mark Twain.

"Yes, Paul's classic libertarianism leads him to seriously retro positions, like the right of private lunch-counter owners in the Sixties to deny service to anyone. For that reason alone, I would vote for Barack Obama over Paul in a general election.

"But we are talking about Iowa here, about keeping Paul's voice alive through the Republican primaries. Progressives and Democrats should want Barack Obama to feel compelled to pursue Ron Paul voters and organizers in the general campaign ahead. That is why many young people, independents and peace Democrats – even Occupy supporters - are considering voting in the Iowa primary for Paul.

"Paul opposes the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. He opposes the empire of military bases. He opposes Wall Street thievery, tax subsidies for oil companies, the suppression of WikiLeaks, the drug war and the criminalization of marijuana. Those positions might just save America."

Coulter Coming Around?
