(CNN) -- Stephen Colbert -- host of "The Colbert Report" and unabashed right wing radical -- is now considering running for President of the United States of America.
Simply put: Colbert must be stopped! He is an existential threat to our way of life and to the exceptional nature of our nation.
I know some will dismiss the threat posed by Colbert -- these apologists will defend him as "harmless" or say he's no more than "a charismatic speaker" -- but that is exactly what they said about Hitler.
We need to wake up to the fact that Colbert's poll numbers in South Carolina -- the location of the next Republican primary -- are rising. He is now at 5%, placing him ahead of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
Yes, some will scoff at Colbert running ahead of Huntsman -- a candidate running below the margin of error in some polls, meaning he may have zero support or may actually owe votes -- but keep in mind that in the recent Iowa caucus, Huntsman received 745 votes.
Translation: Colbert is for real.
Colbert has not been hiding his extreme views. Night after night (or four nights a week to be exact) Colbert has been spewing his venom. However, for some reason, the media have given him a free pass.
But that ends now. Here are Colbert's positions on the key issues -- I warn you, they are scary:
-- Unemployment: "Suck it up, unemployed. It is your own damn fault that you don't have a job ... So stop scapegoating Wall Street." Do we really want an American president who sides with Wall Street over workers?
-- Corporate taxes: "If we raise taxes on corporations, what incentive will they have to make money other than the fact that it's the sole reason they exist." Colbert is clearly in the pocket of big business -- I bet his super PAC is funded by big businesses like hedge funds and casino owners.
-- Government helping Americans in need: "I believe in pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps. I believe it is possible. I saw this guy do it once in Cirque du Soleil. It was magical!"
-- Gays: "There is nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell." Even Rick Santorum would not say this (at least not in public.)
-- America's role in world: "If our Founding Fathers wanted us to care about the rest of the world, they wouldn't have declared their independence from it." Under a Colbert administration, it appears America would just attack other countries for no valid reason.
-- Immigration: "This is America. I don't want my tomato picked by a Mexican. I want it picked by an American, then sliced by a Guatemalan, and served by a Venezuelan in a spa where a Chilean gives me a Brazilian."
And he advocates arresting illegal immigrants and throwing them in "jail -- then we can force them to pick our crops as prison labor."
-- Civil rights: "I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law." Even Ron Paul, whose past newsletters contained racist comments, would be appalled by this callous remark.
-- Muslims: "Every permit granted to a mosque is one denied to an American house of worship." Colbert is to the right of Newt Gingrich on this issue, and keep in mind Newt has compared Muslims to Nazis.
These above quotes are clearly the words of a man with no regard for the values of our great nation. Why do the media coddle Colbert just because he labels himself a "comedian"? Hitler told jokes -- does that mean he was OK?
And not only are Colbert's views on the radical fringe of American society, I don't trust him. Why? Because his positions on the issues have remained constant. He doesn't waver or have multiple opinions on the same issue.
In contrast, a person like Mitt Romney has evolved over time and has been on both sides of issues like abortion, gay marriage and health insurance. (Romney should embrace this with the campaign slogan: "Me, too!")
Colbert has only two qualities I like: 1. He's a friend of Jon Stewart and 2. He has good hair. Besides that, he is a danger to our Republic.
And let's not forget that Colbert admitted that he makes up facts to support his own political arguments, as he gleefully boasted once: "I can't prove it, but I can say it."
America cannot afford a man with the views of Stephen Colbert running our nation. Colbert doesn't belong in the White House, instead he belongs on basic cable right before reruns of "Scrubs."

Except for the fact that Ron Paul has a terrible foreign policy, is 76 years old, and might be a racist, he seems like a good guy.

Not starting wars of aggression against countries who don't attack the US is terrible???
Maybe to some after the last 50 years and the 5 wars of aggression that have been started by the US.

at least you admit this. so many people will vote for him because of this reason. yeah hes forthcoming about most things; yeah hes the only one thats not talking politically and instead- speaking what hes really thinking and planning but THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.
he does not understand the infrastructure of the united states and many of his plans are dangerous, naive, fantastical, and ignorant as to what will happen after that.
he got me the same way at first until i actually started to listen to some of the sh*t this clown is saying.

i dont love war; i hate it. we are already in it and already have enemies. we need to withdraw but strategically. dr. paul wants to bring everyone home at once immediately. this is only one half-baked policy of his.
service? yes medical service. he's delivered 4000 babies- youre right; he knows everything. that must be how he knows that we should get rid of legal repercussions for malpractice
infrstrshit??? what? you dont understand it either? ah thats why you support him.

Not enough?. Why has so many people in this country lost their backbone?. They'll vote for anyone who says what they want to hear.. Even though they know the politician is saying it just to make them happy.. That's why so many of them flip flop on issues.. They just say whatever the crowd in front of them wants to hear.. Youtube video's of Paul from the 80's and its the same message he has today.. I'm proud to admit this is my reason for supporting him.. He doesn't sell out to corporations and then try to pass laws beneficial to them because he's on the take..
As to say he doesn't understand the infrastructure of the USA is just silly.. You're the one who doesn't understand.. Doesn't understand the way we're doing now isn't working anymore.. Doesn't understand we have to change things.. Doesn't understand that Paul is the one candidate trying to change things, instead of traveling down the same sad road that put us in this bad shape that we're now in..

Carseller is definitely a biased moron.
1. Terrible foreign policy: He want's get our troops home [safely] as soon as possible.
2. He might be a racist: A clue, turn our skin inside-out and we're ALL 98% racist. We just hide it well. Now, if you don't practice racism and actually make a stand against racism; how can you be accused of being a racist?
3.He's 76 years old: Hello! You'll be 76 years old someday, and most likely have a thoroughly demented mind, considering the gob's of gook you post routinely, plus, be in an asylum, strapped to a bed. But, Doctor Paul, even with his still sturdy mind and body being 97 years of age, would still come by and offer some comfort and aid.
