Harsanyi = Neocon

Typical Anti Ron Paul Arguments:

1) Smear Ron Paul as anti-semetic because he wants to end welfare for the Israeli apartheid state

2) Smear Ron Paul as hating the troops because he wants to bring the troops home

3) Smear Ron Paul as an isolationist because he wants to end "nation building"

4) Smear Ron Paul as a nut because he wants to end the Federal Reserve and fiat money which funds the welfare/warfare state, enables endless deficits, and impoverishes the middle class

5) Smear Ron Paul as a kook because he believes we should respect and follow the Constitution as it is the only check on the expansion if Federal tyranny

6) Smear Ron Paul as an idiot because he PREDICTED THE GREAT RECESSION AND THE KEYNESIAN ERRORS THAT ARE BEING MADE IN THE NAME OF FIXING IT.

The problem is that Ron Paul is RIGHT. We are bankrupt. Our empire is ending. Our dollar will crash. No one will lend us money anymore so we have to print it. Our deficits are unsolvable and will lead to punishing budget cuts. Our institutions are rotten, corrupt and collapsing. Our welfare state is unsustainable. We cannot afford to babysit Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the Middle East. The Empire is FINISHED.

Neocons like Harsanyi offer nothing, no solutions except more war, more deficits, more welfare, more erosion of civil liberties, and more dropping bombs on little brown people.

Irving Kristol's disciples are fools.

The GOP is rotten. Republicans are frauds. They are NOT conservatives. They are progressives. They seek only more power to kill and loot control and care nothing for liberty and individualism.
