Noam Chomsky defends Ron Paul – Same position as the Pentagon

Excerpt of discussion with Ken Hildebrandt on September 20, 2011, regarding Paul’s recent comments regarding 9-11, for which he was booed by an unenlightened audience at a recent Republican presidential debate.

  10. Between the two major parties Ron Paul is the better candidate of the lot in my view. He is willing to speak the truth about our foreign policies and also some of our domestic policies. But he still identifies himself as a Republican even though his Party wants nothing to do with him. He is right about the Fed but is not in touch with reality when it comes to understanding government’s role in protecting human rights and providing a level economic playing field for all citizens. He fails to understand, or doesn’t care, that his libertarian ideology favors the rich at the expense of the poor.

    As Sibel Edmonds points out, his choice of legal counsel suggests that what he says publicly and what he believes personally might be out of alignment:

    http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/the-greatest-plot-against-the-ron-paul-camp-to-date-by-sibel-edmonds/

    Does Ron Paul understand how much of a danger his party has been to democracy and world peace? Did he ever suggest that Bush ought to have been impeached and that Obama is pursuing the same policies as Bush? If Ron Paul is standing up to defend his country and the Constitution will he run for president against his own party if his party chooses another candidate and not him to face Obama? Is his loyalty to his party or to the Constitution and the rule of law?

    If the only candidates running on election day are Democrats and Republicans I guess he’s the best choice, but Americans would be better off, in my view, seeking someone who understands that we need a fundamental change, not an incremental change. Our two party, money rules, system of government is broken and corrupt. Both parties are moving the ball towards the same goal posts even though they move the ball at different speeds using different plays.

    In my view… good enough… is no longer… good enough.
