Neil Cavuto: There are frequent calls for America’s military to start intervening, should it? Ron Paul, the former Republican Congressman and presidential candidate, says no, be careful, be very careful. Congressman, what do you think of this?
Ron Paul: I think it would be foolish, I think what we have been doing for so many years has been very foolish. I think that they ought to try to understand what blowback is all about and what the CIA has talked about and what Michael Scheuer has demonstrated so often in his work in the CIA. It’s just way too much, it hurts us to no end. One of the points I made when I gave my last little talk on the House floor, was that one of the trends that we’re probably facing was violent anti-Americanism, and it’s engulfing the world, and I think this is what’s happening over there. We have a mess in Egypt now, and we don’t know exactly what we’re supposed to be doing in Syria, and we end up supporting the bad guys. And even Hillary had an expression for it: “How did we know the bad guys were going to get these things?” And I think what’s happening in Mali right now with these hostages spun off from us getting involved in Libya and getting rid of Gaddafi. So one thing leads to another, and I just think that all these problems that we have make my case very clear, that we should have followed the Founders’ advice of staying out of entangling alliances and staying out of the internal affairs of other nations, mind our own business and save a dollar now and then, because we’re flat out broke.
Neil Cavuto: Well, the argument you get back, as you know, Congressman, is that we’ll regret that, because we essentially give the bad guys free run. Now the argument against what they were just claiming is that, well, terrorist are not idiots, they can pack up and leave. So if things get dicey for them in Afghanistan or Pakistan, apparently they move to Mali or Algeria or what have you. But they seem to be pretty good at movement. So I guess the bigger question is, should we do anything about that, or do we just let them brazenly grow unobstructed.
Ron Paul: Well, what we have to decide is why we have the problem. If we come down on the side that it’s spontaneous and they hate Americans, there’s Al-Qaida that kill us and they don’t like our prosperity and they don’t like our freedoms, maybe we should keep chasing them. But if the problem of these threats towards us and the disruptions is because we’re involved, then the answer is to be less involved.
Neil Cavuto: But what if it’s a little bit more than that, Congressman? I know you and I had a chat about this before; what if they really do hate us, they hate everything we stand for, and they really are all about … whatever our overtures towards the Muslim community are like, that they’re all about disgruntles, they just can’t stand us, they want us dead.
Ron Paul: Well, they might ask the same question, what if we didn’t hate Muslims? I mean, we have to build up a lot of hatred for us to go 6,000 miles away and kill people with drones, and this is where the conflict is coming. We have to beat the drums of war and this hatred that we have to go over and do these things. And then, all of a sudden, we have an epidemic of suicides of American soldiers who come back feeling, “What am I doing over here shooting these drone missiles, and little kids are dying and innocent people dying”. And now more people die from suicide, our soldiers are committing suicides. So I think it’s a failed policy, it doesn’t accomplish anything, and we don’t understand it. As long as we don’t want to look … we’re either in denial or we don’t want to understand it. But the CIA actually helps us on this to explain why there is retaliation, and if we don’t accept that, this is going to get much worse. And there are predictions that right now just because they haven’t hit us here at home, doesn’t mean that they’re starting to like us anymore. I think the problem is growing, it’s going to get a lot worse as long as we think we’re the king of the world.
Neil Cavuto: Ron Paul, thank you very much, I think.
Processing your request, Please wait....

Cavuto’s last line was “I THINK”, the problem is that he doesn’t think! He spews the lies, misinformation & propaganda and the unthinking masses that tune into this garbage believe every word of it.
If the guy on TV says its true, it must be true!
So many people are stuck in the GROUP THINK, HERD MENTALITY that they forgot how to THINK for themselves. They don’t even realize they are part of the HERD until its to late!
People are so hypnotized by TV that all CRITICAL THOUGHT is gone!

the puppets prob just think blowback is just another conspiracy theory…lol…nah, but notice they NEVER respond to the reasoning of blowback, except to say , its because we’re free, mkay… its comical kind of because so many sheeple just fall for that, and don’t question it… comical, pathetic and depressing at the same time…

They have been better at recruiting against us because we keep killing their people!! How is that not fucking obvious.
If a drone strike takes out half your family, and it was sent by America, WHO are you going to hate? If Somebody halfway across the globe has sex more often then you think they should, you might dislike it, but is that enough to get you to put your life on the line? It is simple, they didn’t attack Canada or Australia for a reason, they weren’t in their backyard.

Ron Paul is the old wise man that everyone consults, yet those in power keep him silent from the public majority. It’s a shame really. He’s one of the only presidential candidates that actually TEACH you things about government/economy..etc. He’s been saying the same things for so long, it’s often discouraging to think about the general intelligence and sound logic of most people.

To question at 2:43 (But what if it’s more than that?) – Dr Paul could have also answered, “Then one of the questions before we commit should be, “Can we afford it?”" No we can’t afford it. Or “Would any action be effective when our borders and ports still have gaping holes that they will find?”
Ron Paul, you’re a great man and I will write your name down on any ballet. No matter if you’re on it or not:)

349 last year alone. 301 the year before that. That’s about the size of one battalion a year. Dr Paul is right, most of us join the military with good intentions. Then we see how political it all is; dying and killing for political and monetary gain. Of the three in my unit (in the last 4 years), most had other factors as well. But it’s hard to make good choices when your separated for years from your family support.

because of the false sense of nationalism, exceptionalism, religion in people’s minds. which are sadly the ultimate cause for pretty much every war since their founding, apart from resources.

supporters of ron paul realize this. and possibly many other people around the world including me (from hong kong). it is truly a shame for the americans who do not realize that the solution to pretty much every problem (or at least half of them) in their lives can be brought from ron paul being their president

Much of the average American seems to have no clue that hundreds (possibly thousands) of their military service men & women are committing suicide. And yet the US military is still being glorified as the shinning example & best in the world, at the expense of these innocent and idealistic men & women, forced to commit unwarranted atrocities that often get covered up.

ron paul supporter mark willis for rnc chair : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mark-Willis-for-RNC-Chair/4089…
We asked ron paul supporter Mark Willis, Maine’s Republican National Committeeman to step up and challenge Reince Priebus during the January 25th RNC Officers Election during their Winter Meeting in Charolotte, NC. (Jan. 23rd – Jan.26th). Mark replied to us saying: “Let me begin by saying that I am honored to find my name on the short list as a potential candidate next to two great statesmen, Congressman Ron Paul and Senator Jim DeMint. As we all know, these two men have fought the good fight for years on Capitol Hill – lower taxes, less spending, and an overall decentralized Federal Government that would actually abide by the Constitution. Sadly, they seem to be two outgoing voices in the wilderness of an out of control Federal Government with few replacements on the horizon. Men perhaps of a different age – principled leaders are hard to come by these days.Therefore, after much deliberation and discussion with my wife Violet, I let Bryan know that due to the fact that no one has stepped up to the plate, I would in fact run for Chairman of the RNC, provided I would receive, in writing, the support of at least 2 RNC members in 3 states (minimum of 6 persons) in order to satisfy the RNC nomination requirements. The election takes place on Friday, January 25th, 2013 in Charlotte, North Carolina.” Since that time we have been working hard to do just that! We have already helped to secure a National RLC Endorsement of Mark Willis’s candidacy and have pushed this story onto the National radar!( Visit our Media Page for full coverage! ) Mark has already done interviews with Nationally Syndicated talk show host Jerry Doyle, Award winning news journalist at Ben Swann and a number of morning radio interviews. The message is getting out and some of the responses are coming in from the hard work that is being done on the ground. At this time we currently have 2 states that have been willing to stand up and nominate Mark Willis for RNC Chair. Maine and Nevada. This means 2 more RNC members from 1 more state is needed to satisfy the nomination requirements. Have you reached out to your states RNC members yet? If you are not sure who they are in your state here is a great starting point: http://www.gop.com/members/ The RNC Election of Officers takes place Jan. 25th from 11-6pm (tentative). We must have the support of 3 states with at least 2 RNC members (State Chair, National Committeeman/woman) written support in order to satisfy the nomination requirements: http://stepdownnow.com/mark-willis-for-rnc-chair/

The media at one time convinced the US that mars was attacking.
People are clueless to it’s power.
2:50 seriously? This news anchor is a moron. I can only imagine his thoughts are something like this – “we drop bombs on people they should love us”
FOX news foreign policy – “write democracy on a bomb and drop it on every nation in the middle east that’s full of brown people and not jewish.”

As long as we continue to go over there and kill people the problem will get worse. Every time we kill someone over there, either on purpose or as ‘collateral damage’, we create many others, the brothers, fathers, uncles, mothers and sisters of the people we killed will try to kill us for the wrong we have committed.
