Neocons welcome?

As an avowed supporter of the War in Iraq and a friend of Israel, I seem to closely resemble the stereotype of "neocon" as I've seen it defined on these forums. I support George W. Bush, the Federal Reserve and its monetary policy, see no good reason to return to the gold standard, and regard Iran as an existential threat not simply to Israel but to the the United States and Europe.

I think foreign interventionism as a means of maintaining regional and global stability is desireable. Invading Iraq and deposing Saddam Hussein was an entirely good thing. The US economy is not going to collapse and is in fact, wealthier and more productive than it has ever been before.

Dr. Paul's open association with anti-semitism and racism is particularly offensive.

I appear to stand in direct opposition to nearly every single foreign policy and economic policy proscription Dr. Ron Paul offers as part of his candidacy for President of the United States, save one.

I appreciate, support and admire Dr. Ron Paul's veneration of the US Constitution and of his desire that the US government closely and accurately abide by it.

Question: Will Ron Paul accept me as a supporter? Would he mind if I openly advocate my point of view on this forum, even as diametrically opposed (with one exception) as it is to his own?


I dont understand how you can appreciate and support Ron Paul for the fact he would run the government in a strict constitutional manner , when practically everything you oppose about him is unconstitutional.

Too many people say they love and agree with the constitution when they so obviously dont. Its fake patriotism ,imo.


As for you hanging around on the forum ... Its fine with me . Its what freedom is all about.
 
Hi Lipo. Welcome.

I think you might have been looking for this forum:

http://www.debateforums.net/vb/

full of people just foaming at the mouth to be part of a lively debate.

As opposed to thousands of people working toward the same goal here vs.................. you
 
Even if you're a rabid Hillary supporter, and you have:
-Donated to Paul's campaign
-Canvassed for him
-Registered as a Republican
-Committed to voting for him in the primaries

I don't think anyone here will not welcome your support.

Have you done any of these things? Do you have any intention of doing any of these things?
 
Thanks to everyone who was kind enough to respond to my question. I had hoped to be Ron Paul's one and only neocon supporter. I am aware of no other!

I took the plunge a few days ago and made a $100 contribution to the Ron Paul campaign.

Alas, this appears to have been a big mistake.

Having previously observed Ron Paul's open association with neo nazis and white supremacists, I was mollified with the rationale that Ron Paul himself could not and did not hold their views and that "open association" in this context was merely a reflection of his Libertarian views.

I was wrong.
