"This brand of Austrianism is to Economics what Young Earth Creationism is to Science generally. Keynesians, at least, have the good taste to be economic Intelligent Design theorists and trust their economic fate to the blind watchmaker that is the Federal Government."

I'm sorry but that is just stupid. Obama is the one we need to focusing on. Not some guy who will never win the nomination.

Go cheerlead for big spending and Keynesians theory somewhere else.

This author makes me want to puke.

Ron Paul may not be an ideal candidate, but many of his principles could save our party and our nation.

Those Freepers who express contempt for him because of the aspects they disagree with disgust me.

Never forget:

“If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

“Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves. But again, I stand on my statement that I think that libertarianism and conservatism are travelling the same path.”

-Ronald Reagan, 1975

“What Paul’s partisans fail to apprehend is that the reason that coverage is not forthcoming for their hero is because Paul has made himself...”

Cult of Paultard Ping

This may be an interesting cycle, especially since the Paultards have let it known their strategy is to tear everyone else down here I think we have several decades of info on the old fraud to keep them busy. (browse the link in 7)

I don't know who Rothbard is, but according to the writer here, he must be one evil guy. It must be presumed that it is a mortal sin to like Rothbard. Okay, I don't know any different. But, I can go to the link that explained Paul's supposed affinity for Rothbard. It was this:

Rothbard taught me to always keep the distinction between peaceful market activity and State coercion in my mind. It served as a constant guide once I was in office. - Ron Paul

I don't care who taught Paul that lesson, if it's valid.

The rest of the accusations that I perused were more of the same, or, even more vague. I'm not going to waste my time looking at source links when the first ones I see are obvious distortions.

The more people say "tard", the more I think Paul is worth looking at.

I’m no fan of Ron Paul — but this article goes WAY too far.

...why Rachel Maddow will fawningly ask him to explain his crackpot theories between heaping mouthful of carpet...

I probably don't want to know.

I have never before, I am not now, nor will I ever read an article about Paul that is that darn long.

I think the guy is funny, likable in some ways and I might enjoy having lunch with him, if he bought, but that’s about all I could take of his craziness.

As for the straw poll... he’s right to be a bit upset, in that it was a virtual tie with only 152 votes separating him and Bachmann.

I can see how his supporters might be a bit upset in seeing Bachmann getting all of the media attention, while ignoring him. I think it would upset me if I supported him.

I do hope his supporters pass this clot and that Paul feels whole real soon, as we have much more important things going on.

Vote Paul; Elect Obama.

Who wrote this? Ben Bernanke’s lawyer? :)

[Jay Redhawk]

This article is nothing but hateful neo-con garbage. Judging from what I have been reading around here no one is good enough to assume the presidency from the Obamanation. Therefore, I think I will just count my ammunition, check the water and food supply, and occasionally check in to see how badly the supposed good guys are beating up on each other. We should be focused on kicking that pospotus out of the White House instead of trying to destroy his potential opponents. I would vote for Ron Paul in less than a heartbeat if he could rid us of that joker that now holds the presidency.

This hit piece from an "author" who won't use his real name. This from an "author" who claims that Christianity is socialism.

This from an "author," who I do know which he hates most, Christianity or Sarah Palin. I figure he hates conservatism the most, though.
Mencken quote: "...the most consistently, if not conspicuously, Christian of the Right’s denizens — have let their religion’s eternal penis envy against unbaptized Jews poison them against the state of Israel. How’s that for a blood libel, Ms. Palin?"

Is this the guy who more closely represents your political philosophy, mnehring? Or were you merely desperate for a Paul hit piece? So desperate you would bring it from a Christian, and conservative hating libtard? Really?
