Ron Paul student commandeers GovSchool meeting (New Hampshir

[Nemesis0300]

He took an empty microphone at his school cafe` and started ranting conspiracies? While he may have some truth and awareness behind his words, that is NOT how you approach that situation. Unless he wanted to somehow make people want to learn more by an obscene performance, he shouldn't complain about his punishment; it's school, not a street corner.

Also, this kid's nationalism is grossly overrated.

"..protect them against socialism..."

If Socialism worked in the west, we would use it.

[Ramirezoid]

Habeebsss

[rollingklouds]

Very smart kid! He read about Dewey, and read John Gatto!

Most univ grads have no clue about these!

[kenjams]

Go ALex !! He's awesome.

[MsFreedom4us]

where is this fantastic young man now? he is a true patriot!

[biebertwilightfan]

He's a little high, but he's correct about his beliefs.

"I think we defeated some tyranny right there with the art of satire."

Bad. Ass. Nuff said.

[boosomentity]

globalists beware captain mutton chops will smite thee.

[schoedan]

Nice one man. Oh, and sick chops by the way.

[jase3001]

Please read Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations' before you start spouting off about 'liberty' and 'individualism' in the manner of Friedman or Hayek. It really is embarrassing when people just regurgitate what they have been reading without engaging in some critical thinking. Schumpeter, J.K. Galbraith, Keynes, Marx and Sen should, imho, all be required reading for anyone wishing to engage in serious political discussion.

[renegade2142]

Man, I wish I was as informed and motivated when I was his age. Bravo Alex!

[mtbx]

This guy rules! Keep going man

[eatthatmeatball]

I like this guy! And I love his beard too, for all you naysayers. You know, Jesus had a beard... =)

Go you! I support you!

[STPdemon]

Huh?

[STPdemon]

Yeah, a Ron Paul guy shouldn't look like a jihadist, especially when national security is the one area where Paul is weak.

[RyanR3volution]

@STPdemon

Ron Paul is a expert in foreign policy, he basically predicted 911, I geuss we will disagree there.

[UnoRaza]

How can you have liberty when your voting system in NH was clearly rigged?

Has this been fixed with paper ballots and a backup counting system?

I S R A E L "counted" your votes. HELLO?

[catatonicanimal]

A job well done.more kids need to hear this stuff so they come to the ideas of liberty sooner.Leave the conspiracy stuff to the ones who are good at it-Like teachers who worship the state ....

[Koldkut09]

Gotta groom those whiskers man! Freedom means taking responsibility for not looking like a taliban recruit!

[STPdemon]

Scabies gotta have a home, too...

[silus2000]

Jesus, what the hell kind of hormones do they put in our food nowadays. A 10th grader with a full Wolverine style beard?!?

Anyways, I see his heart is in the right place, but c'mon...lol The microphone was unattended for a brief period so he thought to himself...WHAT IS THIS, TAX PAYER MONEY GOING TO WASTE! I MUST ACT!! LOL sure buddy.

[dontbetreading]

I really don't see what the problem is with my appearance, it's my business. If people judge me based on that then there's no hope for them when it comes to understanding real issues. As for moronpaul, I don't care if Ron Paul dissapproves, although you provided no evidence for your claim, because he does not own me and I wouldn't even vote for him because I'm a voluntaryist.

[moronpaul]

"It was a public school. Also, I watched students who weren't "authorized" speak on the microphone yet they weren't disciplined. "

Oh cry me a river.

"This was more of a viewpoint censorship issue."

No, that wasn't censorship. I know censorship when I see it. This is more of a discipline issue.

"I did not hurt anyone or infringe on anyone's rights, that's the State's job."

So what you want, RP would not of approved of what you did.

Get a shave.

[moronpaul]

Two things I'd say to the beard

#1 Get shaved

#2 Shut up and learn.

Freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to shout fire in a crowded theatre, nor does it mean stirring shit at a school.

If he wanted to prattle off conspiracies, he could of arranged it with the school beforehand to ask for PERMISSION to give his rant...or he could of went out on a PUBLIC STREET and given his speech there.

[dontbetreading]

It was a public school. Also, I watched students who weren't "authorized" speak on the microphone yet they weren't disciplined. This was more of a viewpoint censorship issue. I did not hurt anyone or infringe on anyone's rights, that's the State's job.

[VoteLib3rty]

dontbetreading: Keep waking those sleeping minds! The young people are where it's at. I like what you said into the mic and how you handled the censorship issue. Freedom doesn't roll over.

[SkrewtheFedReserve]

"#1 Get shaved"

wow...i am always amazed at how peeps will judge other peeps because they dont like the other persons appearance. Its not for you to judge! people should wear their hair/clothes/etc however they want. you are the type of person who told the hippies, "get a haircut".

pathetic.

"#2 Shut up and learn."

that is straight out of 1984. you are downright creepy. i'm just glad you are not in a position of power to force your views on other people.

[rdbiii]

When do they ever give a dissenter a chance to speak. Other kids are hungry for this message. He did the right thing. Oh, Abe Lincoln had a beard ya douche.

[1776Reborn]

Keep it up guys. I have 2 kids under 10 yrs and would like a better future.

[klaptongroovemaster]

Good relations with the wookies has Ron Paul.

[mcgrawtim123]

"You can't speak freely in schools 'cause that offends people." ....I hate paying my property taxes for these g.d. govt. schools more and more every year.

[GanjaBlueNetwork]

Teen Wolf for Liberty!

[wikipediaronpaul]

They allow beards in highschool?

[splendidyouth]

no mention of R P

smart kid.

[chinacat22]

That is a high school kid? That is one hairy kid!

[DeraJa]

that kid is frightening.

[inertia186]

Yes. Truly frightening. Liberty can be pretty scary. I hope we see more kids like him.

[dontbetreading]

Hey, that's me! Thanks for the positive feedback everyone, I appreciate it.

[airborne373]

Are you sure he didn't say "next time the hammer and sickle will come down harder?"

[Amy31415]

Great job!

Oh, and that's some wicked facial hair on a kid. :p

[poopstreek]

I like what this guy did, but it is the wrong way to go about things.

[Weapon01]

Damn, dig those sideburns....

[HHODork]

its great to see young people not falling into the lazy pit of TV and social crap that most High School kids fall into. This is one smart kid and his parents should be proud of him for doing what he is doing. Wake up, Read, Look at what is going on around you.

[anyusmoon1]

Beautiful! Love it! Keep up the good work!

[AntiShocker]

Gotta Love This!

[bigdstocktrader]

Way to go kid! Keep it up!! I wish I had known about Liberty and the Constitution when i was in school. Too bad we didn't have the internet or the FSP back then. I graduated in 1988, and that was when I turned 18. Sadly, I remember seeing Ron Paul's name on the ballot as a "Libertarian" and I was like...what the heck is a Libertarian? LOL If I had only know then what I know now...

[rebelstang]

Good For You!

FREEDOM! IT'S WORTH FIGHTING FOR!

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

[VANVALIS]

Kids don't have the same rights as adults. Sorry Charlie!

[FreiheitKampfer]

lol, i like the ad.

[phrek75]

This young man did great, keep it up !!!

[RickTJustice]

Everybody does there part and not punk out and America will grow. The seeds of liberty grow quickly once watered.

[Loveseekingmissile]

Everybody should read John Taylor Gatto, should be mandatory for all teachers.

[p717]

Absolutely agree about Gatto.

[feeknocks]

Bueller!!!

[wackassegyption]

Awesome.

[JSenator06]

Way to go Kid, standing up for your first amendment rights against Tyrants!

[EdwardMandellHouse]

That dude is THE man!

[ndfootballch]

good, there are other sophomores that are concerned about liberty! thanks, dave.

[accityfolk]

weird lighting :o

[highwaysong007]

this is ALL the public schools in NY... its sick! Still watching with interest Dave, got supporters OUTSIDE NH too!

[JosiahsBackpack]

Isn't Freedom of Speech a part of normal Freedom and therefore an inalienable right? I am sorry but the school (or any other organization for that matter) does not have the ability to remove the right of free speech.

[wdcsucks1]

respect!!!good job!!!

[dabigez357]

great job and the truth will come from the mouth of babes....keep kicking can!

[LibertyJedi]

RIght on! Warn all of them on the public education brainwashing till it's called what it is it will not be stop.  That statist is just a parrot, learn to be a good slave and mess up his life long term with objective reality:-)

[rayme4raw]

Good G-d! The nazis are running the school system. Unbelievable!

[dtmbcorp]

Alex, my man!

[darkreign16]

I have to recommend that Alex shave his ghetto beard, or trim it.

[ndfootballch]

yeah, it makes liberty lovers look like hippies or hillbillies -- not representative

[Taors]

He reminds me of one of those elephant riders from Return of the King.

[watcher8o]

Keep up the good work.

[Socksee]

bravo alex !

[ElCapitan1985]

nice chops, bro.

[principles101]

KUDOS to Alex! Instead of Obama youth, it needs to be For Liberty youth. Good job!
