Rand Paul to propose cutting off F-16 sales to Egypt

The Muslim Brotherhood has support from both Democrats and Republicans. There is one Republican who is standing up to them and that is Rand Paul. Unlike his father, Rand is anti-Jihad and gets who the real enemy is. He told Conservative donors that he will propose a ban on selling F-16’s to the Islamic regime in Egypt.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul told an off-the-record meeting of conservative donors and powerbrokers Monday that he plans to file a bill that would ban sending F-16 fighter jets to Egypt.

“The crowed loved it,” a source told BuzzFeed.

Last year, Lockheed Martin delivered 20 F-16 fighter jets to Egypt as part of $1.3 billion in military aid from the U.S. government, The New York Times reported.

Paul has expressed concern for the practice in the past — but his remarks via Skype to the so-called “Monday Meeting” in New York City showed even firmer support by the Kentucky senator for policies that might cater to Jewish voters, as well as Evangelical groups that are staunchly pro-Israel.

[….]

To further beef up his pro-Israel credentials, Paul’s office has also expressed interest in the senator speaking at an event next month to celebrate congressional support for Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile defense program.

Rand Paul is National Conservative/Libertarian as opposed to a Globalist Conservative that is the norm in today’s Republican Party. He speaks for those of us on the Right that have had enough of supporting Islamic interests. He understands the evil agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood and is standing up to their cronies in Washington.

Rand Paul: “Any attack on Israel will be treated as an attack on the United States”

Ron Paul was an apologist for the Islamic cause. He blamed blow back and support of Israel for the reasons why the Islamic world hates the United States. His son Rand Paul takes a totally different view.

When it comes to the Islamic threat, Rand Paul is one of the few in Washington who gets it. He wants to cut off aid to Islamic nations because they use that money to spread their filth. The US is arming the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and arming Hizb’Allah in Lebanon. Rand Paul also is tired of US aid being used to make Israel an American vassal state. Instead Rand Paul says the US should make it clear that an attack on Israel is an attack on America.

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul took what very well could be considered his most pro-Israel stance yet, saying in an interview that an attack on Israel should be treated as an attack on the United States.

Asked whether the United States would stand with Israel and provide it foreign aid if the Jewish state were attacked by its enemies, Paul went a step further.

“Well absolutely we stand with Israel,” he said in an interview with Breitbart News, “but what I think we should do is announce to the world – and I think it is pretty well known — that any attack on Israel will be treated as an attack on the United States.”

[….]

But the younger Paul is trying to demonstrate that he is pro-Israel, even if he opposes foreign aid to the Jewish state. He reiterated in his interview with Breitbart News his opposition to foreign aid, but again noted that he favors cutting aid off first to anti-American countries before ultimately cutting it off to American allies like Israel.

Rand Paul is correct in his stance. The US is giving aid and is arming both sides in the Israeli-Islamic conflict. Without question Rand Paul is the most anti-Jihad politician in Washington. This means the Democrats and the Republican establishment at the behest of their Islamic masters will seek to destroy Rand Paul. Conservatives and Libertarians should rally to Rand Paul’s defense.

Rand Paul calls out the Corpulent Snake

Chris Christie is rapidly becoming the most hated Republican. It heartened me that Rand Paul called him out for his attacks on the NRA.

Today on The Laura Ingraham Show, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) gave a wide-ranging interview, during which he attacked New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for his criticism of the NRA and his grandstanding on Sandy aid, saying that they would hurt his chances during the Republican primary.

Paul claimed that Christie had “backed down” on gun rights: “You have some Republicans backing down like Christie backing down and criticizing the NRA, and I think that doesn’t do any good.”

When asked by Ingraham why Christie made the comments, he responded that they were politically calculated. “I think he may be solidifying his support with Democrats in New Jersey and maybe liberal Republicans.”

More Republicans should follow Rand Paul’s lead and go after the Corpulent fake Guido.

Rand Paul says It’s not America’s business if Israel builds in Jerusalem

Rand Paul told Israelis that the US should butt out of its internal business. He said Israel has right to build in Jerusalem or does what it needs to do for its interest.

It is “none of our business” whether Israel builds new neighborhoods in east Jerusalem or withdraws from the Golan Heights, and the US should not tell Israel how to defend itself, US Sen. (RKentucky) said on Saturday night at the end of a week-long visit to the country.

[….]

“The biggest threat to our nation right now is our debt,” said Paul, adding that a bankrupt America would not be a good ally for Israel. “This does mean that we have to reassess who to give aid to, and when we do reassess that, I would begin with countries that are burning our flag and chanting ‘Death to America.’ No one is accusing Israel of that.”

Paul said he was not talking about anything different than what Netanyahu said in a 1996 speech to Congress, in which he advocated Israel gradually weaning itself off of American aid dollars.

This would benefit Israel and its defense industry, because it would not have to buy all its weaponry from the US, and a curtailment of US foreign aid would also mean less money for arms for Israel’s neighbors, Paul said.

Rand Paul is correct about the situation. The US is arming and giving money to Israel’s enemies. We also treat Israel as a dependency and not an ally. I hope he continues to challenge US foreign policy.
