The GOP Republicans have been demonizing anyone who opposes their class warfare plans and their regular warfare plans(to the point of demonizing whole segments of the population).
Scorn in the U.S.A. It must be tough for Republicans to love America so much but hate almost three-quarters of the people living in it...

"Let the record show that on January 16, 2012, the good people of South Carolina booed the Golden Rule." ― Jon Stewart. Indecision 2012 ...
An example of creating fear through paranoia: Whistling to set off a nuclear bomb (from a movie? I remember this scene) ...and getting solitary confinement (unusually harsh and nonsensical punicshment cause if that's possible we have a bigger problem than this one guy).
This is the reason you don't hear about Ron Paul...
What is Jon Stewart talking about?
Well, as Ron Paul put it, "preposterous"...
Or as the Pentagon put it...
Pentagon says Iran concerned primarily with deterring an attack The Iran question is often posed, as it was in last week's debate to Ron Paul, as a hypothetical. If Iran was proven to have a nuclear weapon what steps would be taken by the US to assure they did not attack Israel? The establishment media is skillful in the presentation and structure of the debate. The question assumes it is the responsibility of the US to protect Israel from a strike by Iran. But more importantly it assumes that Iran has the ability and strategic desire to attack Israel. This unclassified assessment of Iran's military capability by the US Department of Defense clearly states that "To ensure regime survival, Iran's security strategy is based first on deterring an attack." The document goes on to make this key statement, "Iran's nuclear program and its willingness to keep open the possibility of developing nuclear weapons is a central part of its deterrent strategy." But what if the unpredictable Ahmadinejad and company in Tehran suddenly changed their strategy and decided to go on the offensive? Fortunately they would not have the capability according to the DoD which states, "At present Iran's forces are sufficent to deter or defend against conventional threats from Iran's weaker neighbors such as post-war Iraq, the GCC, Azerbaijan or Afghanistan but lack the air power and logistical ability to power much beyond Iran's boarders or to confront regional powers such as Turkey or Israel." Stated simply Iran wants to obtain the necessary weapons to defend itself in a bad neighborhood where it finds itself surrounded by a global superpower. The hyping of the potential nuclear program in Iran is Washington's attempt to establish a pretext that would garner public support for a strike/destabilization campaign on Iran. The obvious goal would be regime change.
Or as another writer put it...
Ron Paul's rise has the War Party frothing at the mouth Why is war pushed so much when even the Pentagon (see above) doesn't eblieve Iran is a direct threat to the United States? Answer: Because war is a large part of the US economy (in terms of wealth and, if the draft is re-instituted while a war is going on then, in terms of employment as well)... Tax Dollars At War...

War profiteers escalate their war on jobs...
The GOP wants war as it's profitable and in their best financial interests. The faster people realize this the safer America will be from its internal enemies as well as it's extrenal enemies (as internal enemies often take actions designed to CREATE external enemies).
Fox News and The Murdochs are both to blame for this.

Notes: Ron Paul is also the ONLY candidate to actually give his congressional pay AWAY!
"What is clear is that members of Congress are getting richer compared not only with the average American worker, but also with other very rich Americans. "While the median net worth of members of Congress jumped 15 percent from 2004 to 2010, the net worth of the richest 10 percent of Americans remained essentially flat. For all Americans, median net worth dropped 8 percent, based on inflation-adjusted data from Moody’s Analytics. Going back further, the median wealth of House members grew some two and a half times between 1984 and 2009 in inflation-adjusted dollars, while the wealth of the average American family has actually declined slightly in that same time period, according to data cited by The Washington Post...."
Important Note: The left actually agrees with many things on Ron Paul. Problem is he's Republican. And republicans have destroyed everything that the Republican party originally stood for. Ironically, Ron Paul is the last true conservative. I'm a liberal and Ron Paul's ally, who has been forced to take on a great deal of Ron Paul's policies because they will be good for the United States and the world in general (the left has strayed because of the .00001%). So for a while I was confused for a Libertarian. I am a republican. A liberal republican. But I do politics the same way as regular a GOP leader.

Ron Paul and Robert Reich On Larry King
If we withdraw all these excess military bases, i.e. militarism, the budget problem will be solved because of the money multiplier effect of having all the military spending their money at home... if the military goes back to it's constitutional mandate of Defense.[Note: The economics of the gold standard is explained here.]
Currently, years of economic policy have been moved outside of the States. The only local jobs available come through government sources (either through the market-policy based health reform law or through government institutions like the post office). Currently, the GOP is fighting both the healthcare law and the post office. In other words, if they succeed, the only way for people to get any kind of job would be with the army. Thus militarism will be the only option left to save the American economy and solve the population problem (compared to available food resources as most resources are going into making war, i.e. bombs, Warcraft etc.).
Points to Ponder:
1. There are "900 bases in 150 countries"
2. From The Economist: Indeed, the one lesson that can be drawn from the data is that today's strategic priorities can shape deployments for decades to come, long after the original reason for putting G.I.s in a particular region has gone.
3. "[W]e can now remove almost all of our forces from Saudi Arabia. Their presence there over the last 12 years has been a source of enormous difficulty for a friendly government. It's been a huge recruiting device for al Qaeda. In fact if you look at bin Laden, one of his principle grievances was the presence of so-called crusader forces on the holy land, Mecca and Medina. I think just lifting that burden from the Saudis is itself going to open the door to other positive things." Wolfowitz, 2003.
4. Economics perspective: Manufacturing jobs have become more specialized requiring less labor and more technical expertise - i.e. small companies making big ticket items such as fighter jets; this means less people are employed, smaller number of people make huge profits and these huge profits make the economy look like its growing when actually its just a few companies making huge profits benefiting a small group of people. Senator Bernie Sanders also thinks sending manufacturing jobs abroad is bad economic policy.
This view is explained in a somewhat extreme look at some basic economic principles. What is accurate is that if all resources are moved to war then the only option will be to re-institute the draft. The following is a hip hop song that explains the general political-economic principles at work here...
