Ron Paul Schools Newt Gingrich On The Patriot Act(11/22/2011 CNN Debate)

[Savethelostones]

He is not right enough to be president Ever.

[1tim315carlos]

We need those laws to protect us all. We have many crazies out there. I work and don't have time to police the city or barack insane obamer.

[LeeroyJimboBerkowitz]

Ron Paul is 2 legit to quit....hes too dignified to be sharing a stage with those fucks.

[3ggt3]

Long Live Ron Paul

[TheTime4solutions]

Newt wants a law that takes people out of existance in the middle of the night in secret, all to protect who, to protect Newt. NEWT ill protect myself please do not become concerned for my saftey best just concern yourself about your immoral attitude and actions. Hellbound scum traitor.

[ThePhantom135]

"Give me liberty or give me death!" --Patrick Henry--

Why is that hard to understand?

[luc59457]

Only someone that is not for prevention will disagree with what Ron Paul was saying to Newt. Newt would make USA look further as a bully.USA needs to focus on It's monetary system and defense and domestic production.Not going to the other side of the planet and conducting military combat operations,when there's plenty of nations over their to take care of things.These Operations take funds out of the American economy and add to the national debt.No foreign combat operations and fix monetary sys.

[renzokata]

let us not forget about our own rights which are being trampled on. i have gotten to the point where i do not trust anyone in the government-they are not my friends. i would rather face the danger than live in a police state.

[TheAhb19]

We wone

[TheAhb19]

Tml4873 ur rong because ron was pre dorn the cold war do u think we would have that war

[tml4873]

Newt's argument, which actually gets applause, is that he expects to stop criminals before they commit crimes? Looks like he watched the first half of The Minority Report. I'm sure if the technology was available, this guy would be all for reading and recording everyone's thoughts at all times and incarcerating anyone who thinks something different from him.

[intercourseman69]

Look, it's simple. If we can prevent one terrorist act, it will be worth all of the creepy big brother legislation and police state intrusion imposed on us. It's that simple. I thoroughly disagree with ron paul on the child beating. We should have at least 10-15 police officers stationed in every house to make sure that no child is hit unlawfully.

Ron Paul makes sense. Newt likes hearing himself talk.

Can;t they clone this guy.

[kidjr27]

Funny how my comment has 36 thumbs up and youtube refuses to display it at the top... Censorship anyone?

[interstate1020]

Ron Paul "schooled" no one. Least of all Newt Gingrich. After uncle paul made a fool out of himself, Newt made him look ever more out of touch. Paul's reply was simply at a third-grade level.

Let'sl get the terrorist BEFORE they kill people, NOT afterwards. Hey ron paul, go into retirement...SOON.

[202000cabs]

even with out the patriot act in place, certain chemicals are tracked by law enforcment agencies, when a farmer buys large quantities of manure they confront him to see what he is up to. shit they even know when a sick fuck is looking for child porn, so the question is why did the attacks were succesful? you think they did not know? BULL SHIT!! they did and they needed it so they could go to Afghanistan to build an oil pipe line and to Iraq to get the oil back on the dollar and not the euro.

[OpeAaron]

since 9/11, haven't the majority of the "terrorists" been troubled muslims that the undercover FBI and CIA agents convinced to go bomb a building, but "stop" them before they do it, or give them a fake bomb to use?? How many actual terrorist attacks were prevented in 10 years? Maybe 1-5?? Not 42

[TerrorWarrior5000]

Ron Paul sucks

[followHimnotUs]

hell yeah ron.

[oneirishpoet]

wow I thought Ed Meese was dead by now, or he at least should be rotting in a jail cell...one more Repiglickin corporate whore who should be tried for treason, asshole

[rodneyginokc]

excuse me, but gingrich had a lot of people happy with his response...how was this a schooling?

[jme6141994]

@rodneyginokc It was a schooling because Ron Paul is right.

[ivorykeys871]

@rodneyginokc Those people are sheep who willingly buy into this idea that our country has become unsafe. "Timothy McVeigh succeeded", gee, thanks for the history lesson Newt. Don't forget to mention Al Qaeda was funded and trained by the CIA. Everyone forgets this lil tidbit of information.

It's called cause and effect. The only reason for war, should be retaliation. I'm tired of this preemptive nonsense.

[spinemelter2000]

@rodneyginokc I don't like either of them, but Ron Paul has trouble defending his position on the Patriot Act. I wonder how many of the 42 attempted attacks would have been thwarted if Ron had gotten his way.

If anyone responds to my comment, please stay on topic and avoid throwing personal insults at me or other people who disagree with Ron Paul.

[evilbert81]

@spinemelter2000 If Ron had his way, the terrorists wouldn't have a reason to attack america. He quoted that the CIA (yes our CIA) found that the terrorists acted out of hatred for american intervention on their holy soil.

IMO he's saying don't beat up a smaller country and expect them to be greatful.

[spinemelter2000]

@evilbert81 If Ron Paul could go back in time 20 years or more to become president, he could have stopped the chickenhawk foreign policy that created so many terrorists. But whoever is president in January 2013 will have to deal with terrorism with consideration of the problems we have now. That's why I think Newt Gingrich won this debate, which I hate to admit because I don't like him at all.

[evilbert81]

@rodneyginokc Think for yourself what the right response was. They both made valid points yet Paul won due to his non police state argument.

[buddybudmac]

Look at newt all he will do as president is take our rights just like every other president does

[emorganschuster62]

At least 42 patsies have been entrapped illegally using resources that could have been used constructively. Your chance of being killed through terrorist actions is less than dying from a bee sting or a peanut allergy. Prove that we live in the home of the brave and stop being such pussies. We all die eventually. Stop worrying about life...you'll never get out alive.

[TRYCLOPS1]

Ron Paul is the only candidate that can really stop the genocide in Israel, by cutting foreign aid to Israel and other countries. Watch: Tears of Gaza, a documentary that shows what's really going on over there from the point of view of the palestinians. We need to stand for peace! Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!

[whereareyou222]

Gingrich a slick liar At the time of the Waco standoff, McVeigh was among the anti-government demonstrators holding vigil outside the compound. "These families died a slow, torturous death as they were gassed and burned alive at the hands of the FBI," McVeigh wrote to a reporter for the weekly Oklahoma Gazette in a letter that was seized as evidence. He succeded because government "safety" in reguards to this letter meant nothing. Then he took revenge!

[123491622]

168 people died in Oklahoma, 3,000 or so on Sept. 11th, 2001. Because of this, the country passes all kinds of laws, creates gigantic new Government agencies and spends billions and billions of dollars on wars all in the name of keeping us safe. Meanwhile, roughly 10,000 people die a year in drunk driving accidents and 15,000 people are murdered each year in this country. why the excessive response to 3,000 perished people ? whats it really all about  ?

[evromsd]

@123491622 How many people die from the flu every year or of some kind of illness they cant afford to treat? Its worth billions bankrupting our country for another countries benefit but it even worse for these republicans to spend it on its own people. Where is the logic in that?

[evromsd]

@evromsd I might detest most republicans but Ron Paul is one of the very few politicians that makes any sense.

[evilbert81]

@evromsd Here's the logic. You take care of your own before you help others. It's hippocritical if we don't. Think about it from the other side of the pond.

[thecommonpatriot]

@123491622 brilliant.

[Cervy18]

@123491622 youre an idiot. drunk driving ACCIDENTS are ACCIDENTS. 15,000 people murdered each year is about 40 people a day spread throught the ENTIRE COUNTRY and those are most likely ISOLATED and UNCONNECTED incidents.

3,000 people dying in ONE day because they planes they were in were hijacked by foreign terrorists is not the same as either of those. if we didnt do anything to prevent future attacks, who is to say they would have stopped there? why not more planes being hijacked?

[123491622]

@Cervy18

There's nothing accidental about drunk driving fatalities dumbass. It's a felony and punishable in a court of law. So because it takes a year for 15,000 people to be murdered, it's less important than 3,000 dying in one day ? Your logic is fucked to say the least. Seems only idiot here is you ! But i'll play just the same. Of course we should have done something, 1/1000th of the money could have been used to get the same result.

[drummerbadass1]

@123491622 hey dude uit sucking that American flag dick and grow a mind with an I over 80. 911 was done so dipshits like you could go fight a shadow enemy and make billionaires into trillionaires.. Fucking douchebag, thanks for creating twenty million times the hate in the world...

[123491622]

@Cervy18

We won't even mention the loss of American lives. But according to your logic, i'm sure 5,000 deaths and 35,000 plus wounded american servicemen really isn't a big deal because it was spread out over 8 years. That's just in Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11, was hated by Al-Queda, and kept Iran in check so we didn't have to.There's nothing that keeps religious nutbags in check quite like a brutal dictator.

[robert4you]

@123491622 Great comment! Here is the secret agenda:

Link /watch?v=jAdu0N1-tvU

[LadyCravens]

@123491622 money. can you imagine a country where we spend a trillion dollars a year on investigating crime city by city and state by state? We have social workers overloaded with cases, people slip through the cracks, babies die, the masses don't care. But, knock down a couple of buildings and kill a few thousand people in a few minutes and that's a reason to care. It was a slight against national pride. What world power can stand to be insulted?

[TheTime4solutions]

@123491622 I speculate that OKC was another government opperation. One where they baited the suspect provided him with the plan and materials, only instead of giving him inert dummy bomb equipment and aresting him they promoted the entire opperation through to completion. We need to be protected from those who claim to protect us. Patriot act is the most unpatriototic bill ever.

[N8Revolution]

NOBODY IS BUYING YOUR ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT OUTSIDER ACT NEWT .. WE CAN SMELL YOUR KIND FROM A MILE AWAY.

RON PAUL IS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE TO THE STATUS QUO WHICH IS KILLING THIS COUNTRY.

HEY NEWT! WHY NOT MOVE TO CHINA THEN! THIS IS AMERICA, BIG BROTHER GO HOME!

[MeatVision]

The fate of America and the world is in your hands, VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!!!

Teachers, instead of soldiers. Books, instead of guns. Food, instead of bombs. Health, instead of bullets.

Peace

[teomeimf]

Like all good things freedom comes with some risk Better to LIVE FREE OR DIE.

FREEDOM IS DANGEROUS,, that's just the way it is,,, less we force all adult people to wear a diaper in case they have a WET FART,,, and if they do where is the funding for the DIAPER CAM ??? Wise up!!

[smokinrock1]

Wrong party someone commented why don't u take out the R D C L out ant listen to the person shepple need a letter to know who to vote cause there so dumbed down

[TheEuphony69]

Ron paul have wonderful ideas but unfortunately he is in the wrong party.

[bellokswgdead]

@TheEuphony69 It doesn't matter, if he is the only Presidential cannidate that you agree with and just so happens to be in the wrong party you need to ditch your party and join the other just so you can vote for him. It's THAT important.

[TheEuphony69]

@bellokswgdead

I like him but i dont like republican attitude. Republicans(especially Bush) are the reason why the world is so fucked up

[ignorecorporatenews]

Bush is NOTHING like R Paul. ! Bush is a criminal, Paul is a humanitarian

[whereareyou222]

@TheEuphony69 - Get a clue, it's both parties!

[TRYCLOPS1]

@TheEuphony69 He's running republican but he's a libertarian or a classical liberal. He's all for constitution, minimizing the central government and increasing state government, eliminating excessive bureacracy and promoting fair free markets and individual liberties.

[NightTortilla]

Wasn't timothy a former government worker ? CIA just like osama bin laden ? I remember hearing he was but im not certain.

"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." by Benjamin Franklin

Wut dedt did obama take out im pretty sure its up to about 15 trillon now

[evilbert81]

@NuLaifMusic Bush got our troops back. Not Obama the 10 year occupation treaty expired in DEC 11! Know your facts please.

[punkmusicmetal]

@evilbert81 Does it matter? It was Bush and his administration that distorted facts and got us into this costly war and into this recession and piles of debt.

[evilbert81]

@punkmusicmetal Who's more foolish? The fool, or the man who follows the fool (Obama).

[punkmusicmetal]

@evilbert81 I'm just pointing something out that may be overlooked by people who don't like Obama. Lesser of two evils. Either way, I guess it LOOKS like a Giant Douche or Turd Sandwich. You hold out both on each hand and look. They both look pretty awful. The douche who ruined the country, and the turd that looked so polished when he was running.

[evilbert81]

@punkmusicmetal Agreed.

[johngalt23g]

Newt Gingrich is a whore, and Donald Trump is his pimp.

[cahivx]

All you idiots saying Newt won are wrong..Major Hassan (fort hood shooter) was making fucking PowerPoint presentations about the legitimacy of suicide bombers...it didn't take a patriot act to stop him and he murdered 13 unarmed soldiers. The patriot act doesn't keep us safer..it treads on our liberties for the illusion of security.

[Zoloe]

@cahivx I was there when that happened and I approve this message.

[torturedjoemama]

Ron Paul makes a lot of sense. why should we give up our liberties so we might catch some so called terrorist. I don't want the government taking my freedom to make sure I'm safe from some guy in a cave 10,000 miles away. I'lltake my chances. Now I don't need the TSA sticking their hands down my pants every time I fly

[Trinexx360]

Timmothy McVeigh succeded.

Never thought about it that way you globalist scum sucking fuck head. I guess he missed the point where Timmothy McVeigh was funded by our own government.

[TRUTHandANSWERS]

anyone else want to slap Newt while Ron paul was talking?

[TwinSmoke]

Paul I agree with you! Let's let the terrorsts attack us and then try them in the court of law! Pro terrorism 2012!!

[damienrockaterror]

If you study the evidence from new footage you will see that there were bombs in the buildings in OKC. Most likely it was an inside job just like 911. Don't reply that I am a conspiracy theorist this is 100% documented fact that was all over the media during the event. Police even described multiple explosive devices on camera.

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. "-US President James Madison

[damienrockaterror]

Newt is just a remnant from the Neo Fascist regime of the W Bush years. He is torch bearer for the council on foreign relations and a seat warmer for the trilateral commission. This election will be the most historical election of the last 100 years.

[StandwithNewt2012]

who got shooled RP and Rp went way of the rail calling for cams in every house wow

[vash1053]

He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither and will lose both.

[dshoff1]

I'm happy that the several attacks after 9-11 were stopped. The ones that we know about, and the ones that we will never know about, which is the way it should be. I personally am willing to give up SOME liberty so that all Americans can be safer. .

[HaleFire7]

@dshoff1 I used to think the same way. The thing I realized is that once you start down that slippery slope its hard to remove yourself from it. Just look now, MANY politicians want to EXPAND the Patriot Act (Newt). Don't be fooled into thinking liberty negatively impacts safety!

[themadcookieman]

All the tough talk in the world isn't going to matter when the economy collapses. Israel could easily destroy Iran, Iraq and every other of it's neighbors if it had to. The US has enemies, sure, but it's not like Iran or any of the other middle east countries could actually invade the US. They simply can't do it. Most of this crap that is being sold to us is just that - a bunch of crap to feed the military machine and sustain and out of control government.

[themadcookieman]

Ron Paul gets it. Newt doesn't. Are you going to be seduced by the 'tough talk'? "Let's get 'em". Or are you going to rely on reason and logic? Ron Paul appears to be a man who has lived his life according to principles that do not wobble. New doesn't appear to be that sort of man to me. Newt is a typical politician, at least that is what he looks like to me when compared to Ron Paul. The rest of them will just slow our road to ruin, might as well keep Obama and get it over with.

[pete990]

Paul anachronistically holds on to the Founder's reluctance to trade security for liberty. In the post 9/11 era of Islam and WMD's, this is foolhardy.

[vash1053]

@pete990 The founding fathers lived in an arguably MORE ruthless time. Also, please stop talking about WMDs. Most of our enemies don't have them, or don't have the means to use them.

[pete990]

@vash1053 "please stop talking about WMDs" Classic. Keep your head in the anchronistic sand of 18th Century bomb technology.

[pete990]

@vash1053 You only prove the point that Libertarians have their heads in the anchronistic sand of 18th Century bombing technology. A more deadly bomb would be more ruthless, correct? Actually, it is only necessary to profile Muslims and make Islam a crime in a America. If we can identify the enemy, we need not undermine all American's liberties. Of course Ron Paul is among the last of those who will advocate profiling Muslims. That is why Ron Paul is such a disaster.

[rickerwill2]

North Korea? Pakistan? Saudi Arabia? Not exactly the top of our list of friends! How possible do you think it might be that any one of those nations might end up losing their nukes to enemies of America? Iran? Do you realize how close they are to developing their own nuclear weaponry, even if they don't invade and steal someone else's? The threat of WMDs in the hands of America-hating religious fanatics is not a fantasy, pal.

[gamerneek]

@rickerwill2 Saudi Arabia is a very close ally of the USA and has been for a while. Pakistan was also, until recently a close ally of the USA.

[rickerwill2]

Uh, yeah. Iran USED TO BE our ally, too. Your point?

[gamerneek]

@rickerwill2 No, the current Iranian government was never our ally. The Shah of Iran, a brutal monarchist dictator was our ally. The Saudis Monarchs have always been our allies, and Pakistan has been since the Cold War, when India become pro-USSR. The regimes in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have fundamentally not changed, while since 1979, Iran has changed a lot.

[evilbert81]

@rickerwill2 Why do they hate us rick? Try to remedy that before a war starts. Or do you believe everyone is irrational like the MSM does?

[evilbert81]

@pete990 So your idea was that we should have nuked Russia and Cuba before they nuked us eh?!? Aswer it!

[evilbert81]

@pete990 Washington grew hemp in his back yard. Ben Franklin was a KNOWN sex-fiend. Jefferson was an alcoholic. I could go on. Why aren't we talking about video game abuse? It kills brain cells and impairs social upbringing. It's silly banning a plant. We should outlaw it! Those hethens.

[swamsom1]

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ~ Benjamin Franklin

[dshoff1]

@swamsom1 Exactly! The Patriot act doesn't take our essential Liberty, and we benefit a lot more than just a little temporary safety. This is a tough enemy that isn't going anywhere soon.

[rickerwill2]

@swamsom1 Do not confuse "temporary safety" with the fervent, irrational, hysterical enthusiasm for following the teachings of radical Islamic jihad that shall surely result in the annihilation of thousands of Americans if our security is NOT attended to. There is nothing temporary about Radical Islam that is intent on killing us all. And, BTW, which liberty did we give up?

[swamsom1]

@rickerwill2 Whether fervent, irrational, or hysterical enthusiasm is shown by radical islam to the kkk it does not give the government to play Big Brother. The fourth amendment demands that there must be testimonial evidence given for a warrant. The patriot act re-writes it to be a person is guaranteed that a U.S. citizen can't be searched unless we tell the judge "Yea i know we don't have any evidence but I promise this guy might be bad so lets just ignore his rights."

[rickerwill2]

And this unconstitutional fantasy scenario of yours occurred where? When? Cite to a case or the world shall recognize your rant for a simple-minded conspiratorial delusion without factual foundation.

[TheRiceowlex]

Look up Kenneth Trentadue more importantly look up his brother Jessie Trentadue. Jessie has for the last 16 years been trying to find out how it was his brother was beaten and tortured to death in a Federal prison. Look up OK City policeman of the year Terry Yeakey, the chief coroner for OK City was killed, an additional state investigator was killed. The ATF was called and told not to report to the FP Murrah building the day OK City happened. OK City was an inside job folks.

Stop buying bull.

[rickerwill2]

@TheRiceowlex And, of course, that all resulted directly from the Patriot Act.  Huh?

[RonP713]

ricker you're a tool. the patriot act completely shreds our bill of rights. research instead of listening to other tools like you on tv who tell you what to think.

[rickerwill2]

@RonP713 Again, I ask: What right have you lost? You cannot name a single liberty you have sacrificed as a result of the enactment of the Patriot Act (unless, of course, you are a foreign subversive who is intent on destroying America). Who is buying the media line here?

[rickerwill2]

Can you cite to me a single case where application of the provisions of the Patriot Act has resulted in shredding of the Bill of Rights? Who's the tool? You, my friend, are a useful idiot if anyone believes your unsubstantiated talking points, just as you appear to have believed them when you heard them. Show me a case, please!

[dshoff1]

I like Ron Paul.  Its a shame he's too extreme. The Patriot Act has thwarted many attacks against America but its hard to argue for something that didn't happen.

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

Newt Gunray, I mean, Newt Gingrich is a joke...

and beware lest the media make him look "electable"

[rickerwill2]

Terrorists are not criminals, they are enemies of America. We don't read Miranda rights to Islamist extremist Jihadists on the battlefield before we kill them! We also do not restrict America's ability to find and rout out our sworn enemies when they are intent on killing us. We need the Patriot Act to wage war on those who are out to destroy this great nation. Dr. Paul cannot name a single liberty I have lost as a result of this necessary tool of war!

[ashkaji]

@rickerwill2 What? You've already lost your rights. Just because the FBI isnt activly knocking your door down and (not literally) raping your family doesnt mean that they couldent. The fact of the matter is, they have the legal authority to do so on a whim. With no oversight, no jurisdiction, no warrant, and no concern for the bill of rights. Try to file a case in federal court about the constitution, they'll tell you they have no jurisdiction over it. But they sure as hell wont follow it.

[rickerwill2]

Name a single right you have lost! Show me an actual (not some fabricated Rachael Maddow BS fantasy) liberty that has been violated by the Patriot Act. Show me a case (give me legal cites so I can look it up, please!) where the Patriot Act has resulted in the Constitution being disregarded. Show me that warrantless search that breached the 4th amendment.  Cite to the federal case where the court admitted it had no jurisdiction over the Constitution. You are spouting nonsense!

[evilbert81]

@rickerwill2 Copy and paste please. American born. Murdered and then questioned but not answered by the Obama administration.

WOW Ron Paul blows me away!! He is the most intelligent debater I have ever seen in my 36 years here on earth. Ron Paul I will still look to you for leadership even if you do lose but we all know the only way that you will lose is by a fixed/rigged election just like the last 4...

[oneirishpoet]

@kidjr27 the real reason why Ron Paultard will lose, again, is because he's the wrong kind of crazy for the rich white douchebags who control the Repiglicker party...btw it's funny to see how EVERY ONE of these Repugnant circle jerk debates have the most lily white audiences one could imagine in a cuntry that is so racially and ethnically diverse...even Paultards most rabid supporters are ALL white male retards

[icspi1970]

@IamCanadian3333 Yes, when you are the envy of the world, you are also a target. Same way when you are the front runner in a political campaign, you are the first to be attacked by jealous, sub-par candidates and their supporters. Terrorists want to destoy our way of life, and yes, we are the target (in part due to policies put forth that has made us prosper). Being Canadian and a Ron Paul supporter, you wouldn't know what it feels like to be #1, nor a target.

[ConspiracyHist]

i cant stand that pudgy little elite bastard gingatard newt

[Rage7755]

Oh, and by the way, all of the major news outlets agree Newt won the debate.

[IamCanadian3333]

@Rage7755 You're right, the MSM doesn't agree with Ron Paul, they've made that crystal clear with the lack of coverage they've been giving him especially compared to other candidates.

I do find it funny how you think the MSM has any credibility.

[Rage7755]

Ron Paul got stomped like a cockroach. Anyone that thinks differently is delusional.

[sandypoint63]

@Rage7755 go back to the Obama camp. fuckface

[icspi1970]

@kcran5671

Saying America "is the cause of terror attacks against her" is equal to saying the female caused her own rape due to the way she dressed. Again, naive and dangerous mentality, but typical.

[IamCanadian3333]

@icspi1970 Actually Dr. Paul said it's policies that the US gov't has enacted over decades is the cause, which has nothing to do with the people, yet it seems the people are the ones that suffer the concequences. It's not dangerous at all to think that, it's actually dangerous to think of the opposite. Plus that's nothing like blaming the victim of whoever gets raped. Nice try though ;).

PS. Loved Newt's face when Ron Paul smacked him down XD. I also love how speechless he was.

[1dayU2canBdaGreatest]

The patriot act authorises the government to nation build. The N.W.O. will be achieved either by consent or conquest!

[kcran5671]

@icspi1970

I don't need Newt, or the government to protect me. Maybe you need Newt to protect you.

A well informed population, vigilant, moral, and well armed will prevent any terrorist attack. I don't need law enforcement to take away my freedoms and decide how they are going to "protect" me from some outside threat they helped cause and create.

[kcran5671]

Terrorism doesnt scare me on bit, losing my freedoms scares the hell out of me.

Newt's a piece of trash (in my humble opinion).

[cfriedel123]

There is no valid reason to preemptively eliminate the rights of the people. Newt's idea of abusing personal rights to catch terrorists is no different than saying we should suspend 1st amendment rights because they could be used to start riots or 2nd amendment rights because someone could use a gun to kill an innocent. It's just an invalid argument. Rights are guaranteed to us. Security depends on our vigilance, not the Patriot Act.

[CatooftheRepublic]

Where was the patriot act when the time square bomber was thwarted by a guy pushing a hot-dog cart?

[chopseh]

Dr. Paul will be the republican nominee and Obama will lose to him. Why? Because Tim Tebow can take the Broncos to the playoffs.

[kenetoken]

The Patriot Act wouldn't have stopped Timmy McVeigh

[MrFakepunts]

@kenetoken Or Course Not. Local Press, Bomb Squad, the FBI, the Governor of Oklahoma ALL ADMITTED that there were 4(Four) Bombs Found Inside the Federal Building... and NOT from a Truck Outside the Building. watch?v=NWwrEEP8EBk

Rare footage from the day of the Oklahoma City Bombing that reveals that there were 3 explosive devices planted INSIDE the building. WAKE UP!!!

@kenetoken It most likely would have. It shows who is hoarding nitrates and other bomb making materials, and we could have prevented it.

@kenetoken not LHO, because all the terrorists you hear about are aided, abetted, and funded by the feds. Every SINGLE one.

@kenetoken ...no kidding, someone in the Governement was helping him, and it wouldn't have stopped 911, same thing, America did it to themselves...

the patriot Act is just like the 1933 Enalbling Act passed in Germany...America, home of the Banks, land of the military....and don't speak out publically about it, you will lose your job and be called names by the mass media and pepper sprayed by the para-military police.

Gingrich, you're nothing but the latest lackey the establishment is pushing as the "anti-establishment Republican," like Bachmann and Cain before you. But anyone with a brain knowns Ron Paul is the only candidate who is truly for the people. And Mr. Gingrich, don't try to argue with Dr. Paul. He's forgotten more about politics and government than you will ever know.

@Axe0316

that's Dr. Gingrich, btw

I love Ron Paul, but man, these Ron Paul supporters...

I didn't think Ron knocked Newt out; he just ignored the latter's distinction between civil and national security issues

[Axe0316]

@Lokyar2 Dr. Paul didn't ignore anything; he just skipped the pointless filler and went straight to the problem. DR. Gingrich's point was that it's okay to suspend Constitutional rights if it's under the facade of "protecting us from terrorism." Thankfully Dr. Paul called him on that ridiculous rhetoric, which is becoming a terrifying norm in politics today.

@Axe0316 You are sooooo right! Praise God. I want Ron Paul to be President of the USA!! God protect him from the wicked and elite and Obama in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ!!

[sthnwatch]

@Americanjazzlady AMEN!

[Bugsyboy333]

Yes!

Funny how the MSM and collaborating shills leave out the last part, isn't it? They cut the ending out and say "Newt spanked Paul".

I can't wait to see that explode in their face as all their other adolescent hack-jobs have. It's gonna be beautiful.

Newt got spanked!
