Ron Paul On Hannity’s Anti-Sharia Talk: ‘You’re Closing The Door On What Makes America Great’

video
» 61 comments

Rep. Ron Paul has some big news to break tomorrow, but he broke it to Sean Hannity today, anyway: he is launching an exploratory committee for the 2012 presidency tomorrow which, “if I don’t get booed too much,” may lead to a presidential bid. As this was the first time the two met, Hannity pressed Rep. Paul on his conservative bona fides and found himself on a side of the argument he rarely sees: his concern with Muslims, Rep. Paul argued, challenges the principles that make America great.

Hannity and Rep. Paul, as mentioned before, had yet to meet on his program, though Hannity didn’t exactly have the best of histories with Paul enthusiasts– in 2008, while covering that year’s election, Paul supporters pelted Hannity and his crew with snowballs while yelling various incarnations of “you suck” at him. Hannity, of course, did not decline the opportunity to bring up the occasion, to which Rep. Paul replied jokingly, “we believe in non-violence!” Paul later gave his supporters their marching orders– “I’m going to advise them, I don’t tell people what to do… [but] we believe in tolerance and non-violence.”

That was the extent of the levity between the two, however, as Hannity pressed Rep. Paul on his foreign policy claims, what he would do to lower the national debt, and his opinion of radical Islam. On the latter the two butted heads for some time, as Rep. Paul insisted that “you don’t want to blame the religion” and, specifically in the case of the so-called “Ground Zero Mosque,” property rights, not xenophobia, should prevail. “We should have governments building buildings and telling people where to go,” Rep. Paul argued, though Hannity didn’t buy it. Noting that the head of that project, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, had said he wanted America to be “Sharia compliant,” which would be “the antithesis of everything we believe in.”

Rep. Paul seemed unconcerned about Sharia– “you defend [America] by a better idea,” he argued, “you defend it by the Constitution.” Moreover, Rep. Paul seemed to fear Hannity’s fear of Sharia Law more than the law itself: “I think you’re closing the door on what makes America great.”

Rep. Paul eventually went back to his bread and butter: America needs to stop spending money overseas, stop printing money, take down the Federal Reserve, etc., but for most who haven’t taken more than a casual look at Paul as a candidate, his stance on the War on Terror may be the strongest takeaway from his chat with Hannity.

    Way to go Ron, expose that Fvckin’ Weasel.

  • A.R.

    I think he just destroyed the flat tax

  • Gasket

    Ron’s absolutely right.

  • ModerateMan

    Ron Paul is right yet again. I do believe seeing Paul on Hannity’s show back in 2008 though, so it’s definitely not the first time they have gone at it. Classic Tea Party (Paul) versus the establishment (Hannity).

  • pakattak

    I feel like Ron is one of the few honestly conservative politicians today. I don’t agree with him on several issues, but it’s refreshing to see a man champion his ideals in every application of government. Too many politicians today have conflicting opinions on the issues. (Biggest pet peeve: fighting for smaller government, and yet pushing government to ban gay marriage. Where is the line drawn?)

    I’d vote for Ron Paul simply for his conviction and honesty.

  • pakattak

    And I think it’s a shame that the Tea Party was hijacked by special interest groups and the republicans. We need more Ron Pauls.

  • Alz

    I haven’t quit figured out Rand Paul or Libertarians, but my current theory is that they assume that everyone involved in a discussion is rational and has some of the same goals.

    We know this not to be true. Modern Liberals/Progressives have a different belief system and they think the Constitution is in the way rather than something to be followed.

    I like Ron Paul too for his honesty and for sticking to his convictions, but I think he is wrong on a few issues (it’s gonna happen) and he is naive about what we are up against (liberals).

    In dealing with liberals, we are not in an arena of ideas. The differences aren’t mere politics, but a fundamental difference in belief systems.

    Normal people (traditional, conservative, etc) work to make things better. Modern Liberals/Progressives, on the other hand, work to make things “equal.” Big difference.

    You have no clue what you’re talking about!! It’s called progressive for a reason, they want to move the country forward not back to 1880 with a plutocracy.

  • cmdrgmh

    If Paul has his way, there would be no social safety net at all. Then you would really see poverty like we have never seen before. It would be back to the 1800′s. People dying at a early age. Starving elderly, children. Ya, thats a bright future. Of course, that is the road the republicans want to take us now if they destroy Medicare like they want to do. Oh those repubs. Last year saying they are defending Medicare, this year, destoying it. Good luck with that.

  • black and WHITE

    Ron Paul is an idiot, period.

  • skyfet

    Its amazing what 2.5 years make. These Fox Jokers treated Paul with impunity last time, especially kicking him of the debate. 2.5 yrs later his mantra of less spending and small Govt. is their talking points memo. Hannity is just like the rest of the morons that scream loudly about the constitution, but yet have little understanding of it. The same folks who supported the patriot act, torture and illegal wars all in the name of freedom.

    It will be a very good news if Ron Paul wins the primary (although I doubt he would win the general). This is because all the crazies from the left and the right would come together to make sure that he doesn’t. The very big Govt. from the left would never allow it, the right wing bastards (warmongers) would never allow it (would probably set up a 527 organization against him).
    The Israeli and their fundamentalist Christians friends would be shaking in their boots. In the end, they’d all prefer the ‘Muslim’ President over a Ron Paul presidency. In the end it shows that the 2 party system is not a freaking real democracy, they have very differences in their wretched policies.

    Kudos to Paul for his faith in the Constitutional separation of church and state to protect us from the very unlikely ascendancy of Sharia law. Neocons seek to hype fear and mistrust of anything or anyone they dislike, don’t understand or are TOLD to dislike whether they understand or not.

    I differ with Paul on many issues but acknowledge his political courage in taking this stand.

    “Modern Liberals/Progressives have a different belief system and they think the Constitution is in the way rather than something to be followed.”

    Is that why the Republicans read the Constitution in the House – EXCEPT for the parts they don’t like?

    You are way-y-y-y off-base, dude. Read the Preamble sometime and get a clue as to what Libs and Progressives TRULY believe.

    Modern Liberals/Progressives, on the other hand, work to make things “equal.”

    No, they try to make “things” FAIR and JUST. HUGE difference.

    The muslim problem can be very easily handled in America before it becomes even a bigger cancer on our way of life and very lives such as is the case throughout Europe today.

    Congress must pass a law or laws declaring islam and or muslim IS NOT A RELIGION as recognized by the United States of America.

    It is a cult of personality, or a barbaric way of life that has no place in the modern world, period.

    Just as they do not accept outside religion ( infidels ) the practicing of which is punishable by death, we must not reward this behavior by welcoming them to this country simply by them remaining silent about their cult.

    What will liberals do when they take over first a town, then county or a whole state and once they multiply like cockroaches attempt to institute sharia law on ” real ” Americans due to their simple majority. What do We the People do?

    You would assume the usually lib position, cowering under the bed, and say they are Americans now so they have the right to their own ” hope & change ” policies on their own communities.

    NOT EVEN ON YOUR USELESS LIFE LIBS, NOT NOW, NOT EVER.ONCE IT STARTS WE ARE DEAD AS A COUNTRY AND A PEOPLE. It’s bad enough we’re stuck with that terrorist wannabe Obama for another two years. The real thing is not welcome here no matter how much you misguided America haters stop your feet and pound your breasts……so get over it and yourselves.

    It is because of mindsets like yours that the pilgrims left the old world behind and emigrated to the new world. Your intolerance is found in the dark ages, find a time machine and you’d fit well in the court of King Charles I.

    If you libs love and feel compelled to blindly defend them so much, why don’t you move to their slum of the woods and really get to know them.

    If the people who purchased the property want a mosque then they should be allowed to build it. We all need to be vary wary when government tells others what they can and can’t on their own private property.

    They should have the right to build it, and others have the right to protest if they see fit. Like wise, an individual should be able to burn any book on his own property as a form of protest which is protected by the 1st Amendment.

    I guess the constitution and bill of rights are quoted when it suits the person referring to it. A lot of the so called conservatives disagree with the basic items and the tenant on which the country was founded on. They support torture, illegal wars, personal liberties, religious freedom, freedom of expression. The same phonies who want small Govt. in their life would also approve the Govt. to declare who you can sleep in your bed or whether you should have an abortion.

    The elephant in the room, when it comes to Jihadists, however, is that their belief is that all infidels must conquered, then either converted, killed, or made the dhimmi. By not allowing them to do so, we’d be denying them their first amendment freedom to religion. And by their religion, the Shari’ah (and hadiths) overrides our system of law.

    No, not all Muslims are Jihadists, but by trying to impose our law on the Jihadists that there ARE, instead of Shari’ah, we’d be technically violating their rights.

    Whether anybody wants to believe that or not, it’s something that would need to be addressed.

    Good point. I believe both conservatives and liberals are guilty of this. Depending on the sire, they are very supportive of legislating morality like opposing same-sex marriage, polygamy between adults, the legalization of pot, ignoring free speech when it might offend an “oppressed” group, forcing others to give up the fruits of their labor to take care of others, and the list goes on.

    In this country, at least according to the US Constitution, all people should be viewed as individuals with individual rights. Go back to what FDR did to Japanese -Americans; a clear violation of the US Constitution. By following the US Constitution we are not going to be over taken by “Sharia Law.” Additionally, people should be able to boycott and protest against what they believe is wrong – and that includes being able to burn the Koran.

    We can’t ignore the Constitution, and we can’t placate extremist by denying others their own 1st Amendment rights.

    They don’t have to believe in the US COnstitution but they do have to abide by our laws, and the supreme law of the land is the US Constitution. They don’t have to like that people protest them, or burn their holy book in protest. If they physically try to stop you then they will be held accountable. No one in the USA has a right NOT to be offended. The USA has to allow them to practice their religion, build their mosques on their legally purchased land and protest as well. But what we have to ensure is that liberal do-gooders don’t try and suppress other peoples right to protest them, boycott their businesses or violate Constitutional rights of others.

    If people can burn a US flag, place a cross in a bucket of urine and call it art then others should be able to burn a koran. All individuals have the right to freedom of expression, and the right to assemble.

    It has nothing to do with protest or burning their bible. It has to do with a barbaric waring people wanting to conquer the world by what ever means at their diposal.

    Just look at the disaster the plague of muslims across Europe has done to destabilize their economies and threaten the very lives of their people.

    We will need a muslim amendment to our Constitution sooner than later, as the Founding Fathers did not anticipate a 1.6 billion strong tribe of animals, who’s mission in life ( or death ) is destroying and conquering the entire world while murdering every man, woman and child along the way.

    This country welcomes all who seek refuge here. We do not however have to allow a people to amass in our sovereign nation who state on a daily basis they want us all dead. Assimilation is the American way. The muslims do not wish to or do they assimilate throughout Europe.

    When us ” real ” Americans take our country back from the Ameica hating Obama regime next year, one of the first orders of business is to stop the flow of those who wish us harm or death, whether they own any property in this country or not.

    It’s real simple, either YOU’RE with us America, or YOU’RE with them Murderers. You’ve still got a little time to make up your minds. Chose wisely, the life you save may be your childs.

    Listen. You have the right to your opinion but you don’t have the right to take other peoples Constitutional rights away. I’m aware of the threat by actual jihadists since I’ve served in Iraq and other parts of the middle-east. But we can’t ignore the 1st Amendment. People have the right to freedom of religion.

    Now, the issue with Europe, Londonistan in particular, is because they swung so hard in one direction. They are/where so frightened the radicals that they throw people in jail for “offending them” which is counter to the 1st Amendment of others. Obviously the UK doesn’t have the US Constitution but in the US you have the right to free speech even if it offends someone. There are “no go” areas in the UK, and in Paris. law enforcement over there has allowed that – something we can’t allow here.

    That is just false or a deliberate attempt in misleading. Show me an evidence where people were locked up for offending the Muslims? I don’t expect an answer because you won’t find any. The same law that would punish nonMuslims for hate speech is also th same law that would be used against a Muslim if he offends a non-Muslim. In the end this is just Muslim bashing again without credible violence.

    In London, these people scream shout and protest the dead troops, yet are protected by the Police. They are not feared, they are probably seen by everyone (including Muslims) as nusians. On the opposite side of them both in England and in France, you have the far right neo nazis, so these groups cancel each other out. The hate speech law would (if used) be used against any of these group.

    What I know for a fact, is that in mainland europe: Austria , Germany etc, it is a prisonable offence to deny the holocaust, and they have locked people up for that. This has nothing to do with Muslims nor offending their religious sensitivities, rather its about denying the reality of 6million Jews executed by the Nazis.

Yet, here he is years later, still crying foul over how he was mistreated. He should be apologizing to Paul for his childish behavior during the primaries. Every time Paul fared well in the Fox polls, Sean was quick to spin it to make him look bad. When you look back at those debates and the media coverage, Dr. Paul sure sounds like the one who best knew what he was talking about, while Hannity and Giuliani look like fools.

    I’m not misleading anything. Like I said, there are many “no go” areas in London and Paris. And Muslims are treated differently in may situations because the Brits are very scared. With that said, if the USA follows the US Constitution we won’t have such problems because Muslims here assimilate very well.

    “Two Christian preachers were stopped from handing out Bible extracts by police because they were in a Muslim area, it was claimed yesterday.

    They say they were told by a Muslim police community support officer that they could not preach there and that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity was a hate crime. ”

    You still haven’t and can’t show me where someone was locked up for upsetting a Muslim. It is very easy to find people locked up for denying the holocaust. In the end its all about Muslim bashing, as they are the bogeymen of today. If you go to a mega Church in Texas or any other vicinity like it and started telling the faithful that there is no God, the church security will call the Cops and they would give you a trespassing order or something similar (that is a fact). So before we point fingers at the Europeans, you might want to look close to home.

    Listen. I’m not “muslim” bashing. I’m not saying that an individual should be just by a small percentage of a group. I’m arguing against that. I’m simply trying to state that the USA because of our Constitution allows for freedom of speech/ religion.

    Your comparison is a false comparison. There is a big difference between being on private property, and public property. Private property people don’t have the right to pass out whatever they want. On public property they actually do, but as my link shows these no go areas are very different. So please don’t try and divert.

    Recent wikileaks, I love that site, shows that London plays a significant part in the radicalization of many individuals.

    Nice way to digress. Still waiting for someone being locked up for bashing Muslims, like you’d get for bashing the holocaust.

    By the way, the last time I checked the reckless behavior of the banks caused the recession not the Muslims. You are doing well in exposing your bigotry, keep it up.

    Your Fake American way belongs in the past and in totalitarian regimes. It would have been nice, if you were around during the civil war. We now what side you’d be fighting for, which means we’d be rid of ya.

    Islam is a cult, not a religion, why do you insist on calling it one?

    Listen. You have the right to your opinion but you don’t have the right to take other peoples Constitutional rights away. I’m aware of the threat by actual jihadists since I’ve served in Iraq and other parts of the middle-east. But we can’t ignore the 1st Amendment. People have the right to freedom of religion.

    Now, the issue with Europe, Londonistan in particular, is because they swung so hard in one direction. They are/where so frightened the radicals that they throw people in jail for “offending them” which is counter to the 1st Amendment of others. Obviously the UK doesn’t have the US Constitution but in the US you have the right to free speech even if it offends someone. There are “no go” areas in the UK, and in Paris. law enforcement over there has allowed that – something we can’t allow here.

    Islam is not a religion, it’s a cult of personality and has NO place in America. If you fought in muslim countries, you know this truth better than most. We cannot endanger our children and granchildrens lives for a barbaric group that calls for and carries out the murder of our nations citizens everyday based on their warp ideology.

    No, they try to make “things” FAIR and JUST. HUGE difference.

    No, it’s “equal” – just like I said. They (Modern Liberals/Progressives) “use” the words fair and just, but it’s they feel that they have the right to decide what is fair and just. This is where the Socialism and control issues come from.

    It can NEVER work. In order to force things to be “equal”, you libs have to treat people unequally. This is why everyone is always unhappy and why you guys have to try to gain more and more control. It gets out of hand and you guys feel that you are the only ones capable of deciding what is right for people.

    As I said, it can never work.

    You have no clue what you’re talking about!! It’s called progressive for a reason, they want to move the country forward not back to 1880 with a plutocracy.

    Is this why liberals won’t change? You guys use the same playbook over and over again. Support unions over progress. Support terrible schools when there are better ways to do it. Push for centralized healthcare when it is shown that allowing people to make their own decision is better. Blame the rich for not paying enough in taxes when the top 1% of households pay about as much as the bottom 95%.

    We can go on and on. The only things you want to change are the things that work. At every step of the way, liberals work to undermine our foundations.

    Liberalism is the opposite of progress.

    You personify the type of person I described when I said “Neocons seek to hype fear and mistrust of anything or anyone they dislike, don’t understand or are TOLD to dislike whether they understand or not.”

    You don’t really understand – or care to understand – liberalism or progressivism OR the differences between them. You are content to defame and dismiss anyone who even SOUNDS like a lib or a progressive rather than put forth the necessary effort to UNDERSTAND who and what you are putting down or what their true intentions are.

    You operate on raw fear and paranoia instead of informed thought – and you are far from alone. How sad for you. How tragic for our country.

    Thanks. What is happening is more and more people are figuring out what the differences are between “Liberals” (what i call Modern Liberals/Progressives) and Conservatives (not necessarily Republicans).
