Tom Woods\u2019 (tomwoods.com) email says it all about the warmongers in America. Reprinted with his permission.<\/strong><\/p>\n Our old friend Ron Paul had a consistent policy on foreign aid: no way, no how.<\/p>\n So does our friend (and, like Ron Paul, repeat Tom Woods Show guest) Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).<\/p>\n However, having principles is now “anti-Semitic,” according to John Podhoretz, who inherited the editorship of Commentary <\/em>magazine from his more accomplished father, Norman.<\/p>\n Until 2024 I don’t think I’d ever so much as mentioned John Podhoretz, and here we are only in February and he’s already come up twice.<\/p>\n Here’s\u00a0what Rep. Massie recently said:<\/p>\n The Speaker just announced that next week the House will vote on a clean bill to send Israel $14.3 billion.<\/em><\/p>\n Israel has a lower debt-to-GDP ratio than the United States. This spending package has no offsets, so it will increase our debt by $14.3 billion plus interest.<\/em><\/p>\n I’m a No.<\/em><\/p>\n Massie then added:<\/p>\n Most of this money will go directly to the U.S. Military Industrial Complex (MIC), which, if you\u2019re keeping up, prefers to be referred to as the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) now. Watch for those stocks to go up Monday.<\/em><\/p>\n One clarification: the bill will spend over $17 billion, but some goes to replace weapons we\u2019ve given to Israel, and some goes for other random costs in the Middle East. In addition to this $17+ billion bill, we will probably give them the customary $3+ billion in the omnibus!<\/em><\/p>\n Here is the intellectually stimulating response from Podhoretz:<\/p>\n Of course you\u2019re a no, you disingenuous piece of anti-Semitic filth.<\/em><\/p>\n Massie’s reply:<\/p>\n So now if I don\u2019t vote for massive foreign aid that goes primarily to the military industrial complex, I\u2019m anti-Semitic filth?<\/em><\/p>\n Your unfounded slurs will not change my vote because America is broke and my constituents can afford no more.<\/em><\/p>\n
