Talking with a Ron Paul supporter 2
FWIW, I like Austrian economics. I just don’t see how they are sustainable in a society that doesn’t understand natural law. Am I unusual for wanting the two together?
I guess so. :p
According to what I’ve seen depicted from his old newsletters from the 80s and 90s, he’s probably a racist idiot. http://newsone.com/nation/casey-gane-mccalla/ron-pauls-racist-newsletters-revealed/
I guess that is true, Paul is useful for our sworn enemies.
Can you ping me when you do Ron Paul stuff ?
I think that tin foil hat you are wearing is about to explode.
He’s not particularly useful. The idiot part is a given.
Many Libertarians, like yours truly, think RuPaul’s an idiot all around.
Let’s just hope the arrogant and lazy media doesn’t tie RuPaul to everyone in the Tea Party.
Ru’s not gonna win the Republican nomination, but the media will still point to people like Lew Rockwell and say: “The Tea Party is just like them!”
Me too, Me too!
:)
Ron Paul is a Libertarian who only is in the Republican Party because after the fundraising scandal, the party won't have him back.
Ron Paul is probably an agree with only 33% of the time, not 80%. That makes him a stone cold RINO we should oppose.
Read the rest of the interview you pulled that quote from. Reagan goes on to say: Now, I cant say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood.
And while we are discussing Reagan, maybe we should pull what Paul said about Reagan, such as how Reagan was a 'miserable failure' or he 'made Carter look Conservative'. You've inspired me. I had pulled all these before, but Paul had some very nasty things to say about Reagan in the 80s. That may be a good, next article.
Oh, and about your economists, David Duke (who pimps for Paul on his radio program) admired them too. It doesn't mean Duke isn't an anti-Semite. I usually don't go down the road this far, but Paul actually had long time staffers quit because of some of the things Paul and his pal Lew Rockwell say behind closed doors.
He sure does. I forget, does he think Bush caused 911, or merely let it happen?
I wonder how long before he walks back from his insane Iranian TV appearance.
I hope Santorum beats him over the head with this in the next debate.
Santorum got a nice bump from taking Paul on last time. I expect he’ll do it again.
He needs more than a bump though, he needs a major shove.
Alright he’s pretty batty for that. But he’s consistantly batty. Meaning that he has grabbed onto a belief and that he’s followed it through in a manner that’s consistent with the conclusions that would be drawn if you subscribed to such nonesense and apparently he does.
