The condescension to and mockery of the sole Republican candidate who seems to care about individual liberty has begun to tick me off. Chris Matthews can be heard groaning "Oh, God," after Paul spoke of the "original intent" of the Founders with respect to the Constitution. And in the YouTube clip below, Rudy Giuliani actually seems to be guffawing after Paul's defense of habeas corpus. I'm glad Paul's supporters are fighting back on the web. He deserves more respect than he has gotten thus far, not least because compared to the pandering of his competitors, Paul actually seems to believe what he says. And what he says has more to do with conservatism than the crap the rest of them are peddling. Here's a clip worth watching again:

If you have issues with the Constitution and Ron Paul's stances regarding it, post them. If all you've got is "Ron Paul supporters are cultists"... you aren't worth the time.
You jumped in and started being rude and did your hilarious, posturing tough-guy talk.
Then you slung insults like a little kid in a schoolyard when your laughable attmepts a bulling were laughed at.
Grow up and accept that not everybody is always going to agree with you.
In the meantime, any discourse with you or your ilk would be a waste of my valuable time. Buh-bye!
Truly a low-level discussion here. Reminds me of Ron Paul.
Yes this is an astonishingly low-level discussion, thanks to people like you. Ron Paul folks have things called philosophy and principle, not to mention real-world examples, unlike the neo-cons who live in a world with all the validity of Mao and Stalin. Dr. Paul has well thought-out, principled and practical position on virtually everything political. You mindless haters have the standard emotional response to reality that used to define liberals.
So... you have no real point. You are only here for the name calling. Got it.
Agreed. I appreciate how he uses liberty and constitutional fidelity as his underlying premises.
Actually, I was responding to posts shortly before my own, which seemed totally off-topic. It was not an attempt to attack Ron Paul. I’m definitely anti-Ron Paul, though. I’m also anti many of his supporters, like you. Y’all are a very poor advertisement for the libertarian principle. You don’t live in the “real world.” The neocons do, or at any rate, are much, much closer to it.
Can you name one?
Plenty of those that I have spoken to on sites such as this.
Did you see tonight’s debate. Ron Paul confirmed he is part of the blame America first crowd. The man is finished. Maybe he join for Buchanan’s Arabist party.
I thought Paul did fine. I saw the part where he stood up to Rudy demanding an apology from Ron for citing history.
Ron Paul is an American hating, muslim appeaser
Maybe Paul and Puchanan will run for office in Gaza under Hamas’s banner. That’s about the only place they could win.
Yeah, I noticed all the cheerleading for Paul over at Stormfront.
Citing history? He was excusing the 9/11 attacks.
It's a shame it got turned away from that point. Hannity's attack later after the debate was disgusting as well. Hannity sure kept his mouth shut and let Rudy speak freely.
I’m taking Ron Paul about as seriously as I take Andrew Sullivan these days. LOL
I saw that. Hannity certainly was not a kind host to Paul.
why are you reading “Stormfront”?
