the only words, we must wonder if they really are his words, that O`Reilly have to impress is the book "Killing Jesus" and the drama is much better than the book (how much change and the score makes the difference from a book into a movie). Glenn Beck has nothing; both are talking heads without any real journalism, but they bring on tits and blondes, redheads, and brunettes with Botox and collagen injections… blah, blah, blah
View CommentI will always support Dr. Ron Paul and he is not only intelligent, but so well informed that what he says is so real that most people are completely unable and completely incapable of hearing any truth and realistic actions yet to come… Dr. Ron Paul; The Visionary and Messenger… God works in mysterious ways… open your heart and mind to the sign… Dr. Paul is sent here to warn us… HELLOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
View CommentThe real reason for having American troops in countries with rich deposits of natural resources is to maintain the dollar as the world reserve currency. It's not about terrorism.
It's really about the bankers maintaining control of money and natural resources. Our monetary system is really a cartel controlled by a few people without accountability and with the federal reserve as a front. It is an abusive system that steals by inflation or debt, and controls by using the US military as a stick. Wake up. The system is very corrupt, and good people are being robbed by it. Destroy this system and replace it with a fair system.

If the current course continues and the "powers that be" continue spinning this web the USA is going to attempt to take over the World. It will be the job of everyone on the planet to stop the USA and this wicked spread of the parasite known as fascism. Fascism = Evil, Synonymous.

View CommentHe's absolutely right to say that, before we launch weapons, soldiers etc at the problem we must identify why the problem has arisen.
View CommentIf it's there because US agitators funded, trained and incited mercenary types to form ISIS/L in order to form a pretext for the attack they are so keen to engage us all in, that is surely not a good basis, nor deserves any support.
If we are allowed to vote (that is unless Obama or another has installed him or herself as leader without election) I will vote for Ron Paul – just hope he will stand.
Glen Beck most certainly does not disagree with Ron Paul because he supports the establishment. I am a strongly libertarian-leaning conservative, and enthusiastically keep up with both Beck and Paul, but I disagree with Paul on only two issues: (1) I support Israel as the only functioning democracy and the lone bastion of civilization in the Middle East, and (2) I recognize that the violent spread of the fascistic cancer that is Islam results from the tenets of Islam itself rather than short-sighted and willy-nilly American foreign policy.
View CommentRon Paul is right in every respect as usual. I am sure a lot of people now wish he won the presidential race. What most of You people have NOT noticed is that Abby Martin is a FOX !!!
