FreedomFest 2007: The BIG Debate - Doug Casey's Rebuttal

The BIG Debate: U.S. Foreign Policy and the War in Iraq

Libertarians Ron Paul & Doug Casey vs. Conservatives Larry Abraham & Dinesh D'Souza

A summary of the points made during the rebuttal:

Doug Casey

* I've got no problem with Israel or the Jews, I just don't want a dog in that fight.
* The state of Israel stole the land that now makes up it's borders from the residents that previously lived there.
* Before the creation of the state of Israel the Muslims and Christians living in the middle east didn't hate the Jews and they all got along fine.
* It's the creation of a state that's the problem where the people who are not controlling the state are disenfranchised.
* It's a big problem, but it's not our problem to solve, they have to work it out for themselves.
* Larry said I have contempt for the country. No! I said I have contempt for the government.
* If you want to kill someone badly enough, you should do it yourself, not get control of a government to do it for you and force others to pay for that action.

Awesome rebuttal.

The state of Israel is Zionist government. their ideology is that Israel and particularly Jerusalem is the place of the world and it must be protected at any price. In addition they think that they must rule the rest of the world and the rest of the world must succumb to them.

LUNATICS !!!

Israel is from God who gave it to the Judes. Palestina is not a country.

[NuMoonSoon]

For 1400 years the muslims have protected the jews from the xians. Xian history has always been one of jew hatred and mass slaughter. See crusades, spanish Inquisition, Hitler etc etc etc etc etc.....

Never have the muslims hassled the jews except for a just cause.

I met this guy in New Orleans. Awesome. He makes you feel a bit insignificant though since he's such a big financial player.

[Mizral]

Love this guy. After I saw this video I read all his essays I could find online. He's a very interesting thinker and his financial background is very impressive. Dude is mad rich and basically runs the stock market long-term for huge profits.
