He’s a hater!
~~~
In other words we have nothing but crooks running for office in both parties.
Ron Paul and Harry Reid are twins separated a birth
More garbage being dumped on the public to distort and confuse voters.
This means Jim DeMint is in bed with these very same people, and Sarah Palin. Mostly it’s republican elites that fear Paul.
Yawn. The Ron Paul hate borders on insanity. His is spot on regarding economics, finances, inflation, 2nd amendment, freedom, etc.
Ah, something I can agree with R.P. with.
Unfortunately there is accepted wisdom on the Civil War, and it has become sacred. We lost 600,000 - 700,000 of our own people. Many others were maimed. War crimes were rampant. Cities and homes were destroyed. Lincoln violated the Constitution more than any other president. Young men were conscripted to fight against their will, the ultimate violation of freedom.
As far as I know, we were the only country to liberate slaves through war. We could have peacefully let the South go and then embargoed trade. Slavery was extremely inefficient and was collapsing under its own weight. It was already in its last days. (Read de Tocqueville's Democracy In America about how poorly slave states performed and why.)
If a state wants to leave the Union, no other state has the right to keep it in. This is the essence of federalism.
Few can see the Civil War for the atrocity it was. As Thomas Paine said "Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."
According to DeMint and Palin we should embrace Paul. So, Welcome to the Republican fold Cynthia McKinney (((hugs))). We have much to learn from Paul and friends.
Yes, at times I hate Republicans as well - so what? I really have no idea why articles like this are even written. Paul’s not going to win the nomination, despite getting plenty of votes along the way (surely right up until the very final primary; he’s never dropping out). All this is does is play into the persecution complex that characterizes a somewhat large portion of his supporters.
I’m still in wonderment that people are still taking this tinfoil hat wearing individual seriously as a possible presidential candidate.
Oh please. Go support a RINO and stamp your feet telling us all that that person is a rock ribbed conservative
How can anyone even defend such a statement? Ron Paul wants extremely limited government and maximum personal freedom. Harry Reid wants massive government intrusion. Ron Paul, love him or not, is an honest guy. Harry Reid can't speak without lying.
Ron Paul is an antisemitic conspiracy kook.
I agree. He really needs to stop hating or it could push him over the edge.
To the headline: - yea duh
Included in that: reason, rational thought, coherent ideas
Bingo. Confederate sympathies is no good reason to “disqualify” someone.
I’m glad you brought it up 1st.
As for the other hair-brains, yes, I agree - they’re all hair-brains. McKinney is indeed certifiable, and Nader has obviously been a certified liberal for ages - the original Safety NAZI.
Paul is not honest.
He is dishonest about his ideas, his anti-Semitism, his anti-racist views, his spending, et al.
