Thanks Rudy, Thanks Hannity

Last week I predicted there would be “fireworks” at the South Carolina GOP presidential debate on Tuesday. I did not know that Rudy Giuliani would try to take on Ron Paul on the issue of what caused the attacks on 9/11. So much has been written about the Ron Paul/Rudy confrontation during the past few days, there is no need for me to rehash the great comments by Ron. Instead, I urge you to read the following articles by some of America’s best analysts: Justin Raimondo, (www.antiwar.com), Tom Woods, Pat Buchanan, Lew Rockwell, Jacob Hornberger,Karen Kwiatkowski, all on www.lewrockwell.com this week, and Paul Mulshine in his Thursday column in the Star-Ledger, www.starledger.com. In addition, numerous links related to the Ron Paul/Rudy squabble can be found on the www.lewrockwell.com blog.

I would like to thank Rudy Giuliani for making Ron Paul—almost overnight—a household name by his scurrilous attack on one of the most decent human beings ever to serve in the United States Congress. Giuliani owes Ron one hell of an apology. In addition, Rudy should study Middle East politics and read the 9/11 Commission Report, and until he does he should just shut up about the events leading up to 9/11 attacks. As my high school physics teacher used to tell our class: “It is better to appear dumb than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

I don’t believe anyone has made the following observation about “America’s Mayor,” the “hero of 9/11.” Rudy Giuliani has made a fortune as a speaker, consultant and lawyer since 9/11 because he was mayor when the World Trade Center towers were brought down by the hijackers. In other words, Giuliani has enriched himself on the corpses of the victims of 9/11. Talk about profiting from death and destruction. I do not believe anyone in the mainstream media (MSM) has made this point.

Besides, why does Rudy deserve to be called a “hero?” Did he save anyone’s life? Did he foil any crimes? The hype over Giuliani is the worst form of hero worshipping by the complicit MSM who supported Bush’s invasion of Iraq. The MSM abdicated its role of seeking the truth about the phony claims of WMD in Iraq. The MSM did not report the truth about the lies of the Bush/Cheney administration. The MSM dropped the ball when they could have reported the truth about the Bush lies which could have prevented a needless and reckless invasion of Iraq.

I sent the following letter to Chris Matthews, host of Hardball after Ron Paul challenged Rudy to a debate on Fox News after the South Carolina fireworks:

The GOP is imploding because of Bush's invasion of Iraq, and the only GOP presidential candidate who is speaking the truth about the U.S. Middle East policy is Ron Paul. Ron Paul has been getting grassroots support since the first debate you moderated. And last night he distinguished himself as not only a statesman but also once again as an articulate spokesman for a noninterventionist foreign policy.

If you want to have the highest rated show in cable television history, you would invite Paul and Rudy to debate foreign policy on your show. I doubt Rudy would debate. He can only articulate one liners.

Ron Paul challenged Rudy to debate foreign policy during the post debate interviews on Fox conducted by Hannity and Colmes. Hannity was his typical obnoxious self interrupting Ron at every moment and not allowing him to finish his thoughts. Contrast Hannity’s discourteous remarks about Ron with his treatment of Rudy. Hannity treats Rudy as a demigod. It is no wonders Sean’s nose is turning browner every time he has Rudy on his show.

Thanks to Sean Hannity for being obnoxious, thereby generating tremendous support for Ron Paul, and demonstrating once again what a great country this is that you do not have to be very intelligent to be a talk show host and make millions of dollars. There is hope for the masses in America who aspire to be rich and famous. God Bless America.

My friend Bob in California sent the following email:
Just thought you'd like to see some of the impact that Ron is having on at least one NYPD officer. This from my old high school friend commenting on her friend, Eddie.

“Even so just seeing Ron Paul on TV and hearing what he has to say is having an effect on people. Eddie told me last night that he is "very impressed" with Paul who he had never heard of, especially what he had to say about US activities in the Middle East being for the most part responsible for the events of 911. I told Eddie that Paul is a Libertarian, a species that more closely resembles genuine traditional American conservatism, a term that the current devils from hell wrap themselves in, but which they do not at all resemble. I think we all are gradually becoming aware that "conservative" is hardly the correct term to describe these monsters. Now granted Eddie is somewhat unusual in that he is not only intelligent and well-educated, but he is a truly independent thinker. On the other side of that equation (a dangerous natural free thinking that is much feared by our Overlords) is his traditional patriotism and his traditional macho attitudes, attitudes that usually can be counted on to sweep the Eddies of the world into the Bush camp. It's not working anymore on the Eddies of the world. They are seeing through the bullshit. I think that the tide has clearly turned against the satanic devil-worshipping child-molesting monsters. Whether it has turned in time to save the tattered democratic republic remains to be seen.

“I agree with Chalmers Johnson that what is required to reverse the current ominous trajectory of events is a massive spontaneous and truly grassroots uprising of the American people against the policies and actions of the Overlords. Whether this happens remains to be seen. Still, where there is life, there is hope. Let us pray. Amen. (or Amon as the case may be.)”

The masses are restless. America’s Second Revolution is stirring, led by Ron Paul. If all the troops across America enter the battle in the next few months, we will reclaim America from the statists in both parties.
