I got a pic of Rumsfeld with Saddam and Zbig Brez, Carter’s NSA fondling AK’s with OBL. What’s your point? Ron Paul represents west Texas where people tend to keep to themselves and tend to be very self reliant due to the fact they are trying to live in one inhospitable region of the earth, west texas. It’s a lot Afghanistan and Ron Paul kind of fits the mold for American Taleban.

Nice job comparing the good people in west Texas to the Taliban.

I grew up 18 years in El Paso. I know of what I speak. Ron Pauls been around longer than dinosaue dust. He epitomizes our inert bloated worthless federal government (other than defense and justice)

and besides that I wasn’t disparaging anyone other than RonPaul. I complimented the people for being hardscrabble. It’s just not realistic to extend his ideas today. He’s like liberal democrats, got a could decent ideas but about 1,000 years to early with them. We aren’t ready for Ron Paul’s vision of self reliance. Doesn’t mean we won’t get there with the aid of technology.

You got me wound up now. To expand on why Ron Paul epitomizes the inert, bloated worthless federal government - he’s still there. His ideas never took hold. Ron Paul is an utter failure. He should have quite in shame a decade or more ago. The fact he’s still pulling down a tax payer provided paycheck is a sham. We the people are stupid.

paleoPaulie is well qualified to be the American Taliban except you would have a lot harder time finding an abortion mill in Taliban territory than in paleoPaulie's territory.

OTOH, the last time I checked, Galveston is cheek by jowl with Houston and both are on the Gulf Coast which is East Texas not West Texas. West Texas has too much sense to elect anyone like the paleopipsqueak to federal office.
