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....
Its up to us to give the first punch, and then hoping the rest of the armed forces join, and help us arrest does who failed to follow the oath.

Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Glenn Beck are all just puppets. They’re just put there to give the impression that conservatives are there representing the American people where in fact THEY are the ones leading our people to a road full of chaos, liberalism and all. And what’s more frustrating is the fact that the Media labels O’Reilly as a “controversial conservative” where in fact he’s an ordinary man to the point of vulgarity.

Not true at all. The same thing has been done with the Bible and Christians, so why isn’t America, the majority of which are Christians, just as bad as the Middle East? America is hated by so many in the Middle East and attacked by terrorists because it occupies its land, starts wars, drone bombs, imposes sanctions, overthrows elected leaders and installs dictators. This is on top of supporting the very terrorists which attack both their citizens and Americans.

Touche’, my friend. You sure got that right.
Not only do they refuse to do the right thing, but they willfully do the wrong things, the worst things, all while telling us how hard they’re working to help us, and how good these things will be for us. This is what makes them so evil, so insideous, so treasonous, so criminal. And still they fool 99% of Americans all the time.

Yet another uneducated knee-jerk propaganda blurb by a political drone. If you’ve read even a single one of his books you could not possibly make such an outlandish claim, but it’s clear you haven’t because you’re just a co-intel pro agent.

It’s more frustrating having the government consistently refuse to do the right thing all the time.

I saw Ron Paul on C-Span today! He had a big red smile on a big white face, with a red rubber nose and a pointy little hat! He was juggling 7 butcher knives while riding a 10 ft unicycle. He was doing really well until a sea lion scared him with a bicycle horn! He fell off the unicycle and stabbed himself to death, chopped off his dick, and gave himself a haircut all at the same time!! LOL

Blowback is going to be a problem for a long tike. What a shame I think Ron Paul was the only one who could have won against Obama but our lapdog media called him crazy and scared old people that they wouldn’t get their checks if he won.

Mr. Paul, read the Quran, look at the Hadeeth, read the words and actions of Mohammad, that is the reason why they attack.

Is this possible? After Fox news deliberately ignored Paul for the past decade, now they ask him for answers. Is Obama’s treachery what it took for this action? Well then, let’s see this transformation; for it will be significant.

Ron Paul believes in blanket deregulation to allow the robber barons to turn the clock back in America a hundred and fifty years, all wrapped up in “freedom” and “liberty”. He’s a Koch Brothers shill like every Republican not in the mainstream political club. Sure, Wall St, the MIC, the CIA and their war nexus is a problem, but Paul is not the solution. Putting your faith in politicians is not going to get you anywhere.
