Yes, shave, shake off the occupy dirt, take a bath, and for heaven’s sakes, leave your bongs at home.
One can only wonder how long the support from these college kids will last once they figure out that their college loan programs would be eliminated?
If the characterization of Ron Paul’s supporters can be so wrong... it puts into question the rest of the Statist RINO assumptions.
Enforce our Borders
End the FED
Protect the Second Amendment
Statist RINOs on the wrong side of history.
Lead, follow or get out of the way.
Why are the milquetoast, meally mouthed, stand for nothing, Obamalite, Statist RINOs in such a tizzy. They should’nt be so afraid of principled positions.
Why not just go hide under the bed so that Ron Paul the boogeyman can’t scare them so badly.
“Mr. Lucente, a 19-year-old from Ithaca who is a sophomore at Alfred University, said the Republican Party had been hijacked by a social conservative war party that had lost sight of the idea that the government should be out of the way, one of Mr. Pauls abiding principles.”
Many Iowans will also be offended. (I used to be one, and have more than two decades of dealing with the state even when I wasn't a resident.) Things like this may help make clear the difference between libertarian principles and conservative principles.
One good thing about this is maybe Ron Paul's pro-business approach will help these young volunteers learn the importance of professional appearance that will be important in getting a job once Paul's campaign is over.
Example: “Even before flying here on their own nickel, some students said they had been instructed to cover up tattoos and told that their faces should be fresh-shaved or beards neatly trimmed, wearing only nice clothes that one described as business casual.”
I like that instruction. Ron Paul isn't wrong about everything, but he shouldn't even be running for the presidency.
(Exception here for military tattoos. I don't encourage tattoos of any sort, and neither does the modern military, but if you're willing to carry a rifle for our country, I don't think I ought to object to you paying someone to inject ink in your arm. That's the servicemembers’ choice and I'll respect their choice.)
