Ron Paul is for smaller government...blah blah. That sentiment is shared by all here. Yet, you support candidates who are not for smaller government.
Take this junk somewhere else.
This is not your website, and you will have zero influence over what I choose to post here.

Todays American conservatives are intellectual heirs to the American revolution. Todays American liberals have been Europeanized and are intellectual heirs to Marx and Engels who greatly admired the French revolution.You are right.

"I keep trying to remind myself to be nicer, try to see others viewpoints more, try to avoid making those 'gotcha' remarks that I don't like being on the receiving end of myself." But . . . but, I read that us "Paulistinians" are vicious, dispicable wackjobs!;^)

I say that as a frequent visitor of the Religion forum, the most deathmatch-ridden place on FR. :) The religion forums are like a narcoleptics anonymous meeting compared to the immigration threads

Thanks for the thoughtful post. By the way, no one can question the patriotism of the JBS. I think that is saying something when the patriotism of some, for example the patriotism of many news organizations, is doubtful.

I stand corrected. You are correct, although I have seen a few Religion threads that could give the immigration threads a run for the money.

The New York Times knows wacko. I believe they are still on record as denying Joseph Stalin’s Ukrainian Holocaust. Holocaust denial by the New York Times. How wacko is that?

KDD,
That s a worthy post from the past. I would say vitolins was prophetic.
Here we are, 8 years later, and one of the Repub front-runners is pro abortion, pro homosexual, anti gun, and pro taxes and for increased government and control. Once again, we are being told, we need somebody like that to avoid Hitlery and need to support a “winner.”
I’ve watched ball games wherein the only reason I had to root for one side was the color of their uniforms. That seems to be what I see on FR lately.
Like I said earlier on this thread, I haven’t been here, posting or even lurking for 2-3 years, and I find it incomprehensible to discover a man who not only claims, but has demonstrated by a voting record for neigh on 30 years, that he wants to follow the Constitution is called anti-American. I guess I have to ask, just what does “American” mean to folks here?
I asked earlier, just what is it about Ron Paul that scares folks on this forum? Is it scary to live without nanny state? Is freedom something to fear? Is governance of laws rather than the whim of political prostitutes something to be shunned? I’m waiting for some answers.
Calling names is great fun, but it doesn’t get us anywhere. It is always instructive to realize that when anyone tosses an argument aside, because the other guy is a nut of kook, it means there is no argument. It is saying disputation is no necessary part of a debate; merely assume your opponent is wrong and go on to explain why he made such a serious mental error. That may work for liberals, but not for anyone who thinks. -Glenn

Which of the collection of socialists, fascists and big-government candidates running on the Republican side would be your choice?
Any of the Republicans, even McCrazy, would be better than a white flag waving, anti-American, coward like Ron Paul.
To: GlennD
The scary part about Ron Paul is the part that you Paulettes seem to ignore. He doesn’t seem to understand that we can’t shut ourselves off from the rest of the world. When he says the goofy things that sound like he is a member of DU he turns us off and makes himself out to be a nut.

"And yet National Review thinks your attack is unfair and idiotic." The National Review article is all that you guys can come up with?
I choose focusing on the company Ron Paul keeps, and the actual words HE says, not some patsy writing in another magazine.

He is called anti-American because of his Blame America First statements. He said it was our foreign policies that caused the 9/11 attacks. He has great concerns of a Gulf of Tonkin type of incedent happening in the near future. He wants to surrender to the terrorists in Iraq. What could be more anti-American?
To: KDD
"In 1998 when we discussed allowing such posters as you to share this conservative forum some of us complained that allowing posters with misconceptions or just plain ignorance about conservatism to post here would just lower the level of debate to, well, what it has become here. You are an example...and a case in point against lowering the playing field to promote debate dialog in quantity while neglecting the quality and accuracy of debate." I must have missed the part of Conservatism that caters to nut-balls and conspiracy kooks.
If you were part of the staff or whatever at the beginning of FR, then my confidence in them is shaken severely. Somehow I think you are overstating your role in this forum.
You can't act like a conspiracy baffoon, lob sophmoric lines at me, then accuse me of going against the grain of this forum.
It is you that must have fallen off the wagon. Freerepublic should not be a forum to propagate hate against America and to further kook conspiracy theories championed by Rosie O'Donald and Cindy Sheehan.
If you think you have enough power on this board to do something about it, then I double dare you to.
Take the Ron Paul nut-ball campaign to some forum composed of like minded wackos.

"Im just wondering why you seem to think that statement is something that would be detrimental to Pauls candidacy.-Glenn" You still don't understand. Ron Paul 08 threads are probably more welcome on some other forum than here on Freerepublic.
Everyone knows that his campaign is an exercise in stupidity..
Take it to moveon, DU or Stormfront.

"You are on every Paul thread simply trashing, thrashing and reaching." I'm just posting his own words and reminding you how that is advantageous to our enemies.
I'll keep reminding you conspiracy kooks.

"What Paul Did Not Say" That's a no brainer.
I'll bet he didn't say "lets win this war".
