Ron Paul ping!

“...such as the requirement of service in order to be granted a diploma,...”

Already happening in some schools.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I am convinced that there are more threats to American liberty within the 10 mile radius of my office on Capitol Hill than there are on the rest of the globe.

When conservatives once again get this and band together to act on it, the Republican Party can begin making a comeback.

[Badeye]

Ron Paul routinely makes a sound remark, then undermines it with his penchant for going off on tangents. This is a great example.

Once you realize Ron Paul thinks you should willing ‘die of a theory’...his, btw, then you don’t really pay much attention to him.

[KevinDavis]

If it wasn’t for his foreign policy and his associations with certain people I think he would have a bigger following..

[ROTB]

We already have a “draft”.

They’re called “taxes”.

“I am convinced that there are more threats to American liberty within the 10 mile radius of my office on Capitol Hill than there are on the rest of the globe.”

<<<I don’t agree with everything Ron Paul says, but boy do I agree with this statement!

[Badeye]

No denying it.

[mysterio]

That kooky Ron Paul and his liberty shmiberty. /foaming anti-Paul poster

[Army Air Corps]

Indeed.

[GeronL]

government slavery

[CowboyJay]

He makes some valid points.

More people have been killed by their own legitimate governments over the course of history than all the foreign bogeymen they conjure up.

[Domandred]

Don’t forget the voluntary not to be used as identification Social Security system.

[djsherin]

Ron Paul ping

***If that is not enough reason, consider that most in the military are against a draft. There is a vast difference between serving alongside another volunteer, and serving alongside a reluctant conscript.***

I can’t agree with that more.

[gorush]

Mr. Robinson invited me to kiss his ass over my support of Ron Paul. I still contribute to the website, but less enthusiastically.

From happier times (MFJ '98):

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

When Ron's good, he's REALLY good, but when he's bad, he's just, well, awful.....

He's good today.

A new Paul thread to attract the Bush-bots

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”

Voters will always expect something from their vote. Try running a candidate that promises nothing from the Treasury’s largess.
