@25gamb I'm not saying the he should lead the world by any means. What I do mean is, that because he would close down military bases outside the USA and have more bases in the US. It would mean less agravation for those counties who have been occupied by the US. The US doesn't need to be the policeman of the world. The US used to be a place of opportunity and the world loved you. Now the world mocks you. I believe that the US needs to get back to what it used to be.
@Sarando1 your totally right alot of people hate the usa as thge world police. it's the goverment that brings the american people in danger. if have vriend from the usa. as a people i love your mind set but i hate the goverment and the way they run things now america is not the america you had before the first great depression becase the fed took things over and stole the country from the american people. vote ron paul i say
Ron Paul is a genuine honest candidate, people do SEE this. However, our shadow government wants to label everyone who supports him as a domestic terrorist, see YouTube Video-Jesse Ventura investigates FEMA camps, wherein they speak of this. Hence I fear for Ron Paul, due to the fact that ANYONE who is good for this country, the Hidden Hand will NOT allow them to succeed or sometimes even live. Look what happened to JFK. Take very good care Ron, please watch your back, many blessings to you!
God Bless and protect Ron Paul because if he is elected they will take him down like JFK was as sure as the sun will come up tomorrow for stopping the Federal Reserve from printing more money.
If a guy decides to drop his insurance Ron Paul says its his right to die. (we heard a few tea party people cheer that in the debates) If my grandma loses her insurance and decides to get cancer its her right to die if she don't have insurance.
Ron Paul is SO beyond every other candidate intellectually and morally that it amazes me how the media is just killing themselves hiding him and his popularity! I read people picking little bits here and there that they do not agree with, but they are choosing to IGNORE his overall picture and COMMON SENSE! You people are the sickness in this country, You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution. Pick a side everyone. RON PAUL 2012!!
I love this guy! He's more honest than anyone else who's running. Honesty gets my vote every time. ;-)
You people who don't like his views should be thankful he's ACTUALLY BEING HONEST about his views. Realize for one second that the other guy you're thinking of voting for, is actually full of shit. An epiphany should occur at any moment now, wait for it........
People need to stop complaining about their insignificant differences with Ron Paul and quit waiting for the "perfect candidate" who shares 100% of their own views. If you want your personal philosophical clone in the White House, you'll have to run for president yourself.
Ron Paul has more education, honesty and conviction than all the other candidates combined. We actually have a shot at getting a decent human being in the White House. I suggest we TAKE it while we still can.

Right for decades? He's been wrong on every single foreign policy issue. He's voted for pork spending in his district (so much for that "principled" argument). He promotes free trade but will vote against any free trade agreement.

... For the Culture of Peace 2000 - 2010 held liable for a crime against humanity. Instead, the status quo politicians in NATO have been willing to fund militarism to the hilt, and pretend that moving from a culture of war to a culture of peace is irrelevant. Rep Paul I am sure knows that just bringing the troops home cannot be done without ensuring that NATO has options in protecting Afghan school girls. We need to build a credible UN system based on liberty - and decorrupting the whole thing.
I like that he is honest, but thousands of people have known for a long time the problems with the economy and that it was going to collapse. Millions of people want to stop the wars. Those two qualities should not make someone exceptional, that just shows how terrible most politicians are. What about his actual solutions for the economy, his political philosophy and his personal beleifs? They are actually pretty terrible.
In all honesty it is too difficult to fully elaborate on all the beliefs he has I disagree with and why I disagree with them within youtube comments but he seems to be largely ignorant of philosophy, history, science and economics. I make this judgement based on footage I have seen of things he has said about how to solve the economy, his opinions on welfare, taxes, gun ownership and free will. His arguments for his pro-life stance and why he doesn't believe in evolution etc.
@moyga So you believe that you are a child that needs government dictation over every aspect of your life? Or is that just everyone else, you're one of the ones who is fine, but those other people can't be trusted. Give me a break. Is it not blatantly obvious that government intervention is the cause of this crappy economy? The government cannot "fix" it, the economy is trying to "fix" itself. Do you even know what the economy is? So you won't vote for a guy just because he is religious? dumb
No, I don't know how you deduced those things from what I said. I think he has a shallow understanding of the concept of free will and its scientific and philisophical basis and doesn't seem to understand the reasons why we have welfare that appeal to distributive justice. If you were refering to my comment about him being pro gun ownership, you only need to look at the statistics. Do you enjoy your extremely high murder rate? I have read the arguments for and against.
@moyga I'm sure that the only difference between us and countries with lower murder rates is the guns, there could not be one other factor whatsoever than that.
I never said that the only difference is the guns but there are many studies and historical examples that have shown that when you remove guns from ordinary poeples households the murder rate goes down and when you put them back, it goes up, and countries with pro-gun attitudes have higher murder rates. Common people do not need a weapon designed soley for the purpose of killing human beings. Especially one that makes it as simple as pulling a trigger in a moment of rage.
Have you truly considered what will happen if you take all the guns away from the people? Imagine a society of people without guns and the government has all the guns? Kinda scary there. And by the way, wha tis the murder rate in Switzerland? There just happens to be an assault rifle in nearly every closet in that country. Just a thought.
You do realise that there are lots of first world countries where it's not the case that just anyone can own a gun and everyone owns guns like in America and they do just fine if not better?
It is however our 2nd Amendment right to own firearms. Do you know why? Because the founding fathers knew that if the people were not permitted weapons to defend themselves, that eventually tyranny would prevail. I'd rather have my guns tyvm.
What situation are you thinking of here, where your owning a gun would be useful to stop tyranny? Do you imagine america turning into some kind of totalitarian regime overnight and all of a sudden all of the citizens grabbing their guns and killing.. who? soldiers with better guns? a president in a bunker? other citizens who are happy with the societal change? In other countries people can have guns, they are just much more regulated. Instruments of death should be.
ha, My cousin, an army sgt has said he wishes he had some of the guns that I do (is a collector btw) As for America becoming a totalarian regime overnight, its already headed that way, kiddo. Wake up. Do the research, and please if anything do as a friend of mine, Murin, is fond of saying, read up before you speak up.
I suppose that's a little like asking how having armed nuclear warheads solves a problem between countries. Obviously they could be used to obliterate a threat, but their practical use seems to be simply to "be there" as a passive deterrent against oppression or attack. 0407Anonymous is "using" his guns by simply having them.
I can understand that sure, but does it work? Politics in America seems a lot more corrupt than in a lot of other countries where far fewer people have guns. It seems like Americans are getting screwed over an awful lot. Maybe everyone owning guns just increases social tension making people more afraid of eachother and creating more of a dog eat dog attitude etc.
The Cold War is evidence that it works. Both sides had nukes and neither side used them. The fact a nuke hasn't been fired since WWII is also evidence that it works.
Corruption in America, perhaps you will agree, is largely white-collar crime. Its not the kind of in-your-face corruption like public, ethnic executions before a football game. You might be right that guns don't stop corporate/political white-collar crimes. Ending the Fed does that.
You are kidding, right? Corruption in the U.S. is less than anywhere else in the world, perhaps on par with that in a few other democracies. In most of the world, you have to bribe an official if you want to do *anything* in business.
As a world traveler, I kiss the ground under my feet every time I return to the U.S. be it from a third world country or from Europe. We have our problems but not like the rest of the world. People are still banging down the doors to move here.
@moyga I never claimed that I would use my guns to solve any problem. What I did say is that if you take away the guns from the hands of the people and only allow the government to have them thats a bad thing. If you disbelieve that, take a look at communist russia, china, nazi germany, north korea, and any of the countries where guns have been taken from the people. Without a means to fight, tyranny will prevail. History has shown that.
@moyga, If you were part of the ruling elite who were looking for more control over its citizens, would you prefer if they were armed and organised or Unarmed and disunified? Regardless of whether these weapons would be affective against them.
Why do you add "organised" and "disunified" when we were only talking about guns. If anything I think everyone having guns disunifies them, especially in the american version of society where its very competetive and individualist. You can do what you want, but personally I don't think having the fear and social tension it creates and your high murder rate are worth the help those weapons might be in a hypothetical worst case scenario. Other countries don't need them.
Also, when you say "So you won't vote for a guy just because he is religious? dumb". That isn't what I said. It's not that he is religious in general its that he has specific beliefs that are significant in themselves whether they stem from his religion or not. Believe it or not people’s personal beliefs do have an impact on their choices and they do say things about people.
Well it won't necessarily have an impact on his presidency but it does say a lot about his intellectual integrity or capacity to understand to me. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. That means that he has probably either not bothered to do much research before deciding what to believe on such a highly significant topic, which lacks intellectual integrity, or has has done research and simply denies the science which would suggest to me a deficiency in his mental faculties.
Interesting ad Jonathan - I largely agree. There are a few strategic points that would help make Rep Paul more viable. If he could work out a concord with progressives on how local initiatives could devise single-payer universal health care, as an expression of popular will, he would be overwhelmingly effective. He has denounced the destructive impact of corporatism on society. He could look at how to hold the politicians who have prevented any public funds going to the International Decade...
I like Ron Paul, he seems like an honest guy. Unfortunately, I can't vote for a guy who seriously believes that evolution and global warming are scientific hoaxes/conspiracies. There is a flaw in his thinking that would probably make him a dangerous president.
@jericomovie Do we really have to compare the dangers between electing a complete liar and a scientific nitwit? Both would be dangerous to elect, so it's a good thing that no such dichotomy exists.
@antybu86 lol, the right wing has their creationism pseudo-science the left wing has their global warming pseudo-science, both are religious it seems. Should look into this climate scientist consensus they are claiming, they are basing it on just 97 climate scientists. I'm sure you guys will wake up eventually though, a lot are every day.
@xXJADEXx7 As per your request, I just looked it up. The last big survey was in 2010 and it questioned 1,372 climate scientists and found that 97%-98% of them believe in anthropic climate change. So, basically you're completely wrong.
@antybu86 no they questioned 1,372 scientists, like I said less then 100 were climate scientists, there are over 32,000 scientists that signed the petitions against AGW, 9,000 of them being PHDs, reread the non peer reviewed article you are talking about, this is the link: tiggerDOTuic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_final.pdf
@xXJADEXx7 No. I looked at the paper, the 1,372 were all climate scientists.
Your source, on the other hand, is a bit shaky. The vast majority of that petition are people who hold BAs in engineering or some unrelated field (and that's just one of the many criticisms of it). In an earlier comment you mocked creationism, but don't you find it odd that you're relying on the same tactics as them? After all, they have a "dissent from Darwin" petition...
@xXJADEXx7@antybu86 my source is the source used by climateskepticdotcom the most heavily sourced website by the AGW crowd, you are the one using creationist tactics, you say the majority of the people in that petition are not climate change scientists yet the ICCP has an economist leading it and only 20 Percent of them are climate scientists.
@antybu86 Wow. Where do I even start with a comment like that. So, you are the picture of throwing the baby out with the bathwater!! Ron Paul is the ONLY ONLY ONLY candidate who has morals and intellect that would serve the presidency exactly like it needs to be served. He does not pander. He is not beholden to corporations. He has more backing from our military than ALL of the other candidates combined, and more than Obama too. RON PAUL for PRESIDENT 2012.
NONE of us who took the oath of enlistment upheld it. Alot of these veterans need to get real with themselves. It is not pleasant, but being blind to your own error and hypocrisy is almost certain to fuck up the whole of your epistemology.
Ron Paul is "dead on" when he talks about the Federal Reserve system, when he talks about not having military forces all over the world, when he talks about freedom of citizens to consume whatever they want and when he talks about privacy invasion by the government.
BUT, when he talks about allowing total, unregulated, freedom for corporations to do whatever they like, then his policies would lead to corporatist monopoly control of the economy, worse than it is today...and with no recourse.
@jericomovie what makes the justice system any more qualified to make a decision regarding the unlawful behaviour of a business than a politician? They are both mostly lawyers by trade.
On that note libertarians seem to miss the fact that placing the burden on the justice system is spreading risk (something they supposedly oppose as socialism). Why should I have to pay for a congested legal system when the burden can be put on the company itself to make it's products safe.
@jericomovie when a corporation is powerful enough, especially a multinational one, they have the money to pay off the legal costs. Where I live local authorities denied the planning permission for a Starbucks, but Starbucks illegally went and set up a branch despite having no planning permission, but when it came to it, no one stopped it happening because the company can cope with the legal pressure enough to override the law, even when no one in the community wanted a Starbucks!
@1140Cecile Corporations today take BS chances in the market because they know that the government will bail them out if that chance they took failed.
If you don't wan't a corporate monopoly then separate the Economy from the Government and let people suffer and learn from there mistakes. You would create a more responsible market.
Students, Work unions, Marines and many other groups have joined forces with Occupy Wall Street. Do not listen to media outlets. They're funded by Wall Ctreet. They will never bite the hand that feeds them, never.
Tens of millions will gather nationwide.
KEEP IT UP OCCUPY WALL STREET! THE NUMBER ARE GROWING!

Should look into this climate scientist consensus they are claiming, they are basing it on just 97 climate scientists. I'm sure you guys will wake up eventually though, a lot are every day.

@xXJADEXx7 As per your request, I just looked it up. The last big survey was in 2010 and it questioned 1,372 climate scientists and found that 97%-98% of them believe in anthropic climate change. So, basically you're completely wrong.

@antybu86 no they questioned 1,372 scientists, like I said less then 100 were climate scientists, there are over 32,000 scientists that signed the petitions against AGW, 9,000 of them being PHDs, reread the non peer reviewed article you are talking about, this is the link: tiggerDOTuic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_final.pdf

@xXJADEXx7 No. I looked at the paper, the 1,372 were all climate scientists.
Your source, on the other hand, is a bit shaky. The vast majority of that petition are people who hold BAs in engineering or some unrelated field (and that's just one of the many criticisms of it). In an earlier comment you mocked creationism, but don't you find it odd that you're relying on the same tactics as them? After all, they have a "dissent from Darwin" petition...

@xXJADEXx7 @antybu86 my source is the source used by climateskepticdotcom the most heavily sourced website by the AGW crowd, you are the one using creationist tactics, you say the majority of the people in that petition are not climate change scientists yet the ICCP has an economist leading it and only 20 Percent of them are climate scientists.

@xXJADEXx7 also you 1,372 number you listed is from a report that shows 66% of them agree with AGW and 33% don't , that is hardly a consensus.

@antybu86 Wow. Where do I even start with a comment like that. So, you are the picture of throwing the baby out with the bathwater!! Ron Paul is the ONLY ONLY ONLY candidate who has morals and intellect that would serve the presidency exactly like it needs to be served. He does not pander. He is not beholden to corporations. He has more backing from our military than ALL of the other candidates combined, and more than Obama too. RON PAUL for PRESIDENT 2012.

NONE of us who took the oath of enlistment upheld it. Alot of these veterans need to get real with themselves. It is not pleasant, but being blind to your own error and hypocrisy is almost certain to fuck up the whole of your epistemology.

Ron Paul is "dead on" when he talks about the Federal Reserve system, when he talks about not having military forces all over the world, when he talks about freedom of citizens to consume whatever they want and when he talks about privacy invasion by the government.
BUT, when he talks about allowing total, unregulated, freedom for corporations to do whatever they like, then his policies would lead to corporatist monopoly control of the economy, worse than it is today...and with no recourse.

have you heard of the criminal justice system perhaps...?

@jericomovie Isn't that the system based on laws enacted by governments?

@jericomovie what makes the justice system any more qualified to make a decision regarding the unlawful behaviour of a business than a politician? They are both mostly lawyers by trade.
On that note libertarians seem to miss the fact that placing the burden on the justice system is spreading risk (something they supposedly oppose as socialism). Why should I have to pay for a congested legal system when the burden can be put on the company itself to make it's products safe.

@jericomovie when a corporation is powerful enough, especially a multinational one, they have the money to pay off the legal costs. Where I live local authorities denied the planning permission for a Starbucks, but Starbucks illegally went and set up a branch despite having no planning permission, but when it came to it, no one stopped it happening because the company can cope with the legal pressure enough to override the law, even when no one in the community wanted a Starbucks!

@1140Cecile Corporations today take BS chances in the market because they know that the government will bail them out if that chance they took failed.
If you don't wan't a corporate monopoly then separate the Economy from the Government and let people suffer and learn from there mistakes. You would create a more responsible market.
