Go Ron Paul!! I am a big fan of Free Republic. However....a lot of you “republicans/big government conservatives” hate Ron Paul. A couple of questions for you.
Are you happy with the direction of our country for the past 10 years?
Have you read the Federalist Papers?
Does our country resemble what our forefathers envisioned?
Do you like YOUR money being used to prop up dictators around the world while our country is in ruins?
The republic party has led our country to the edge of collapse and the democrats and liberals are pushing us over the edge. Wake up my friends. Ron Paul is about liberty and freedom. Read our founding documents. Ron Paul speaks for our beloved founders.
I’m guessing a few of Paul’s kiddie corps didn’t win free tickets to CPAC and they got stuck with FR spin duty.
LOL. Drive on guys, he will get 2% of the vote in the Primary, just like last time.
Ron Paul lives in Kookville.
Just look at his “performance” in the 2008 pubbie debates.
Q.E.D.
Of course they haven't.
Does our country resemble what our forefathers envisioned?
Of course it does not.
Most FReepers are emotionally invested in their opinions and won't stop to think things through rationally. They are myopic and reactionary. They don't understand that the founders did not intend for the USA to become an empire. We followed the British Empire into the ash heap of history.
I heard Todd Friel talking recently on Wretched Radio. He was speaking about how unrealistic it is to go around to various countries and force "democracy" on them when they have no cultural history that would allow for them to understand a free and open form of government. They do not have the Protestant history that enabled the founders of America to create the government they did. They do not have even the desire to do it for themselves. Thus, it is futile to go force it on them. Friel's conclusion was that the gospel of Christ is what will change them and that's what we should export. I agree with him.
Most FReepers, on the other hand, think "We are afraid of you and we are going to tell you what to do or we are going to nuke you. We don't care if it takes 1000 years of military occupation, 10,000,000 dead Americans, or total collapse of the USSA economy. We are afraid!"
Like I said. Most FReepers are emotionally invested. They are not introspective. They are unquestioning in their acceptance of what the government tells them. They are addicted to the big government. They are unable to learn.
They have the government they deserve.
