Ron Paul is not actually a Libertarian (short, concise)

[olivercmit]

Wow, you have got to be kidding me. Should I have the choice to murder my child? Clearly not. If you define life from conception then abortion is not ok. Because it is a contentious issue, he understands that the decision is best made locally at the state level, rather than a federal government mandate.

[akabernie91]

At conception, the "fetus" is nothing more than a cluster of a few cells, with no mind or consciousness.

That said, on such a difficult manner, it makes little sense to have varying codes from state to state. There is a purpose in the federal government.

[yogafireyogaflame23]

guess what: you are not straight. fag, shut the fuck up.

[akabernie91]

Not particularly relevant. Homophobic comments are just immature. Also, I'm heterosexual.

[electrictoothsyndrom]

It's sad that more people don't have a clue and cannot comprehend someone who follows the constitution.

It's so radical to follow the constitution, they don't even know how to spin it when someone wants to give rights back to states to make their own decisions on matters not included in the constitution... idiots, the lot of them. Go vote for Hillary or Rudy, you morons.

Who is Alex Jones?

[akabernie91]

A former writer for the Spotlight, a neo-fascist (literally, not in the pejorative sense) publication with ties to the ultra-right John Birch Society and American Ku Klux Klan.

[lojpre]

you little ass. If you are so confident in your generalizations, why have you disabled comments?

[lojpre]

i find your selective acceptance of my comments very interesting

[akabernie91]

Okay?

[mayolog]

I think you're putting on a fake accent.

[gofins1]

rubbish.

[LibertyUPR]

You're 16... That explains a lot.

Just one question: so why the hell did Badnarik endorse him, huh???

[manOhhman]

Just look at his record it speaks for itself. quit trying to fit him into some close minded category by labeling him. You're not going to find a more honest politician alive today.

[akabernie91]

By saying he is not something... I put him in a category? In fact, I disputed a rather common and erroneous assertion of the "category" he falls into.

[jaxgrl92]

sexy accent, a cute brit, with a true opinion doesnt get any better... ;-)

[tooltalk]

While I am happy to see so many young college kids interested in politics on both sides of the political isles, they still have a lot to learn. You should be a bit careful about making a statement about a candidate's view (at least try to back up your claims, rather than starting your sentence with "I think", "it sucks", "I blindly believe").

[akabernie91]

Absolutely true. Those comments are intended as humorous, as this piece is intended to be semi-humorous. I intend to follow up with a well thought out argument against Mr. Paul shortly.

[fcockin]

his fiscal policies are ill conceived pipe dreams? Yeah I guess it makes more sense to base money on the governments say-so, than on actual value.

[akabernie91]

His fiscal policy is pretty on paper, but ill-fated in reality. Much like socialism, it does more harm than good.

[akabernie91]

There ought to be no end to education, certainly. Though your comment lacks substance.

[T3RRAPIN]

Your use of logical fallacies renders you uncredible. If you make a claim you can't act as if it's inherently true and everyone agrees. You cover your use of this fallacy, begging the question, with the common use of ad hominem attacks. Don't worry too much though, your not going to be voting in our elections.

[akabernie91]

I had the option of spending a considerable period of time formulating a brilliant argument and posting it-- and I intend to. This is a quick and dirty, semi humorous statement. Calm yourself.

[rpmullin]

ahhhhh...  you suck.

[akabernie91]

Care to elaborate?

[rpmullin]

You need to elaborate. You just made very general statements with absolutely no facts to support them.

[akabernie91]

As I've stated, I fully intend to. Read the comments, this was a simple and concise statement of an opinion I hold. I am going to expound on my words in another video.

[JackKovack]

Ron Paul is not a libertarian by any stretch of the imagination? He wants a substantially smaller govt. wants to get rid of the I.R.S. dept of energy and education. He wants libertys for the unborn. Please explain further why he is not a libertarian, if you can try.

[akabernie91]

Because he wants to trample on individual rights, maybe?

[xsabremanx]

on mark, though you could do good by substantiating your statements. also, decoy, i believe you took this a bit seriously.

[moveunits49]

you speak the truth1

[lojpre]

i too, support a woman's right to choose. I believe in fourth trimester abortion
