The thing about Ron Paul is that on 90% of domestic issues he’s right.  Limited government.  Lower taxes.  Great stuff.  (I’m not sure I’m with him on monetary policy, but nobody’s perfect)

But when Paul opens his mouth on foreign policy I usually cringe in advance of what’s about to come out.  This seven-minute diatribe in which he repeatedly condemns Israel for defending itself against attacks from Hamas, while issuing absolutely no criticism of Hamas for attacking Israel first, is exactly why Ron Paul is and always will be on the political margins no matter how many disaffected college kids and old, lonely cranks wear his t-shirts and wave his signs

By the way, remember when Ron Paul, during his primary campaign for the Republican nomination for President, took money from the Nazis who run Stormfront.org and even signed autographs for them?  And posed for pictures?

The silly old kook still hasn’t given that money back

Which is why I’ll never respect him
