Last time I checked Ron Paul doesn't believe in paying decent and moral levels of welfare to anyone who is disabled or sick or simply a victim of inequality in an unfair society.
Ron Paul: "we just can't pick everyone up - we just can't afford to do it."
So. What happens to a soldier returning from duty who is disabled or has developed mental illness? Well - I guess Ron Paul has answered you on that already.
Ron Paul. Is he like Reagan? Only - Ron believes in economic cleansing of society. Not like fascism though.
His supporters? Those who refuse to pay a few dollars more in order to have a more equal society. If you did that you'd miss watching less privileged folk and the disabled and sick sink deeper into despair and poverty.
Ah....they just weren't like you. ie. Privileged. That's all there is to your "brilliance". oh and a lack of human decency to boot. The two often go hand in hand.

Ron Paul gave his unwavering support for Reagan's "Voodoo Economics"
(a.k.a. Anarchistic Capitalism), the objective being the demise of the Lower & Middle Classes, Education & 40 yrs of progressive Social Programs.
"Anarchistic Capitalism": Defined:as:
1)The deregulation of ALL business & unregulated globalization, ultimately resulting in the demise of domestic infrastructure to decimated the Lower & Middle Classes. 2) Ensure an Oligarchy runs the government & ALL wealth
If Ron Paul isn't on the 2012 ballet I will write him in and vote for him anyway. Because in my opinion he is the only candidate that can run this country, the only one who can balance the budget, audit the Fed, lower the national debt, cut taxes, protect our boarder, protect our liberties, bring back sound money, end the drug war, end the foreign wars and nation building, and will bring our troops home .

A flight surgeon in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War, Dr. Ron Paul delivered in a civilian capacity, more than 4,000 babies before entering politics in 1976. This past week, the number of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan under President Obama's administration surpassed 1,000, bringing the total to 1,657. At this rate, our President will have put more lives in harm's way by the end of his term, than what the good doctor has saved or brought into this world during his lifetime.
....failed to end prohibition which is costing billions, wasting life, creating crime and corrupting international relations. These Prohibitionist hands are soaked in blood. Obama is guilty of this and I will never forgive him.
I can not speak for Ron Paul but I think he believes in small government and thus job creation will come from private individuals under favourable conditions - less legislation and lower taxes.
The people in the US are being systematically robbed of the money they earned through government enacted quantitative easing and bailouts. The same is happening in the UK.
I can't express my disappointment with Obama. He inherited a horrendous situation from that moron Bush but fail
just a friendly reminder - if you live in a closed state primary, you must change your affiliation to Repub. in order to vote Ron Paul in the critical Primary Election where he will or no secure the nomination. Those states are ;AZ,CO,CD,DE,FL,MA,MD,NE,NY,PA,HI, OK,OR,WV,SD,UT,WV,LA,KY - check with your state and get it changed .Do not be disappointed at the polls and let 's not allow Ron Paul to lose the nomination becuz we did not do our part.

Ron Paul is the only candidate running for President who understands how the Federal Reserve has stolen 97% of the dollar-denominated wealth of Americans over the past century through inflation. If more Americans became members of NIA and were educated to the truth about why their standard of living is in such rapid decline, and why prices for food, gas, health care, and college tuition are skyrocketing even with real unemployment at 22%, Ron Paul would be elected as President in a heartbeat
I strongly believe in man's influence on the climate, and am pro green and renewable resources. If any thing we need to conserve all resources for the future. Why do so many preach about entitlements, then claim they r entitled to use up as much oil as they can? I am pro Ron Paul, and believe that the end of corporatism, and a true american economy. We can fight pollution with consumer demand, and personal responsibility. Just think where BP or exxon would be, if they were truly held responsible
@midtra52 It's really laughable how isolated you and ur pseudo-scientist buddies are in that bubble o' delusion. I hate to break it to you, but your socialist Trojan horse ie mmcc has long ago been thoroughly discredited.

This should be a figure that is more publicized. The people who care for America so much that they put their lives on the line for her and putting their money behind Ron Paul.
Thanks for standing up for freedom, Adam, & for standing up for the ONLY candidate who has been for many many years speaking about the REAL issues America is facing.
if RP doesn't win people should organize a militay coup and overthrow these frauds by force. I say we round them up and throw them in Gitmo.

As long as the soldiers in the military support him thats where power comes from.RP 2012
@urdisturbing We hav'nt had free market capitalism or true democracy in over a century and during that century we have diluted the constitution to destroy the checks and balances between the three branches of govt which means we are centralizing power. We have been drifting away from democracy and capitalism and towards fascism and socialism. So it is no surprize that the situation for society is getting worse: socialism doesn't improve society. It never has and it never will.
@urdisturbing "The founding fathers were corrupt" Are you kidding me?!?! I am not saying they were perfect by any means no one is; however, the facts are (and history proves) that there has been no other period of time where the masses of a nation have had more freedom, or has the wealth been spread more evenly through the population than America under free market capitalism and the Constitution. Socialism creates a "power elite" by centralizing power to a few. True democracy balances the power.
I wish I was a rich man. I'd invest heavily in making sure he wins. I honestly view him as our last chance. If he fails I'm going to start country shopping.
interpretaion of the constitution. I encourage you to read the book The Peoples Guide to the United States Constitution by Dave Kluge. It is a very fast read and it frames out the the ideas and events leading up to the revolutionary war and the creation of the constitution. only if we understand the circumstances of the time can we know the real intent of the constitution.
@jdonald05 The founding fathers were corrupt. They were aristocrats who faught a war and wrote a constitution in order to consolidate and expand their power.
The best government is the one that most benifits society. Agree or disagree? I think societies which have systemic power imbalances inevitably suffer opression, because power corrupts. Letting corporations control everything (or "self regulate" as freemarket dogmaticists say) would only increase the power of the ruling class.
@jdonald05 I suggest you read the influential book "Power Elite" by the sociologist C. Wright Mills for more info on the evolution of Americas ruling class. I suggest you google "Why Socialism Albert Einstein" for a powerful defense of socialism. I suggest you read the book "Manufacturing Consent" by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky for more info on the corporate propaganda model.
I paid money for and read "Revolution: A Manifesto" in 2008.
@urdisturbing There can only be one interpretation of the constitution and that is through the eyes of the people who wrote it in the forst place. The founding fathers wrote it durring a time of war, inflation, over taxation, violations of liberty, and massive centralized govt power. These are the very same issues we face today, and is a direct cause of supreme court judges over centuries interpreting the constitution to fit their political interest. Ron Paul uses our founding fathers
@hotfudgemoney I like to think that we can give him some new ideas to think about and encourage him to read about free market capitalism, liberty, and the constitution. There was a time when I too had some misguided ideas about the world, and if nobody had chalenged me on what I held to be true, who knows what I would believe today. Although I agree it is extremely frustrating...
@jdonald05 Ron Pauls interpretation of the constitution is archaic and obscure. No supreme court has subscribed to it in almost 100 years.
I think the solution to mankinds problems is largely educational, and that is one thing that libertarians agree with me on. There is no problem that cannot be solved by getting the right information to the right people. For this reason I think it is important to have limitations on media ownership and to have an educated society.
@urdisturbing the constitution. Never voted to increase taxes. The guy has more intestinal fortitutude than any politician that I have ever seen. So I think if you want to have a president, who will not abuse his power, then Ron Paul is the candidate. If you are serious about really changing govt. than you have to get rid of The Fed and get back to sound money, massively shrink the size of govt, and actually follow the constituion. These are all the policies of Ron Paul.
@urdisturbing Unfortunately, the only way to stop lobbying is to go back to a monetary system of sound money (gold standard), which is what Ron Paul wants to do. You see, the lobbyists, giant corporations, and big government are just symptoms of the underlying issues. Ron Paul has been a politician for over twenty years, and durring that time he has never abused his power. He has stayed true to his constituents. The man has NEVER voted for any money appropriation that was not directly stated in
lol you guys brag about every small victory you make? what ever happen to ready ames fire? your not bragging cuz you did not get $1 million in 24 hours? lol
Our military is worn out physically and emotionally. They deploy for a year at a time (sometimes longer) they come back for a year before saying goodbye to their families all over again. They go through Hell for this country not because they have to, but, rather, because they choose to use their lives for a for a higher purpose than most. We should be listening to what they are saying and they are telling us it is time to put an end to these wars and do our best to protect this country from home
@urdisturbing I don't think you understand the problem. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who has a solution - strip away the power to manipulate the money supply(end the Fed), and you eliminate the govt's ability to reallocate the new money from the people to their political interests. By the way Priceton is not the best place for advice afterall it is their ex head of economics Ben Bernanke (chairman of the federal reserve) who is now facilitating the very government corporatism that you despise.
@jdonald05 "I don't think you understand the problem" The problem as I see it is that when people have power they abuse it. Is Ron Paul going to prevent corporations from bribing ("Lobbying") politicians? Is he going to make people immune to propaganda or make the elites less greedy? If not, his policies are band-aid solutions.
I'm a reader of Antony Sutton so I'm familiar with all the conspiracy theories surrounding the fed. Auditing the Fed was a good idea.
@urdisturbing When people have power they abuse it, but you're a leftie? The regulations enacted by lobbying are unconstitutional, thus falling under what Ron Paul opposes, how could you miss that? Make people immune to propaganda? What kind of ideological bullshit question is that? WHO is going to do that? Who has? WHO DO YOU THINK has the power to make people immune to propaganda? If his policies are band aid's what the fuck do you propose? Wow, you're profoundly ignorant.
@jdonald05 You're wasting your time debating this kid... He wants the president to shield people from propaganda and use his magical presidential powers to eliminate lobbying.
Funny how this doesn't get a mention on FAUX, even though they talk like the Military's sh*t doesn't stink. Fox doesn't give a crap about they militrary or they would report news like this.
IF RON PAUL PULLS ALL TROOPS FROM JAPAN AnD KOREa, About 300,000 Japanese troops will be alone, NORTH KOREA DESTROY SOUTH, MILLIONS OF KOREANS ATTACk, THEY TAKE JAPAN, WORLD DOMINATION!
Who did the math for this? They must be a product of the government indoctrination system, ah hem, I mean the education system, because the correct total comes to $15,298 not $15,398!
Or did you do this to see if anyone was paying attention?!
A bit off topic, but Coast to Coast AM had a recent show on how Shuttle Launches were $400 MILLION PER FLIGHT (and I think there are over a dozen a year?) and since the last 90's only have something like 3 peer reviewed science advancements from it. With a single shuttle flight, we could have somehow provided funds to get domestic manufacturing back again - I think that is the only thing that will save us long term - getting manufacturing back to the U.S.
i can only find a few websties from the 2008 election donations, to view the info. he should cite where he got his info rather than saying "coming from reports than may be overstating." so vague.
The surprising fact (that wasn't mentioned) is how small contributions from the military are as compared to overall fundraising by candidates. Obama raised almost 750 million for the 2008 election. Given Obama has raised $28,834 from the military, that's 0.003 % of his total.
What this says to me, is there are a bunch of rent seekers sucking on the government teat who fill the campaign coffers of politicians.
I hope knowledge of Paul's results for active duty military become known.

@jn696 And you should also know that there was a lot of strong arming and "subtle hints" about "supporting our CIC" to raise whatever they did in fact get.
Dr Paul had no way of pressuring active duty military; they contributed because they knew firsthand how stupid and evil the imperial wars and occupations are.
The fine young men and women in the US military want PEACE and LIBERTY, not imperial wars and oppression.
@teehee8491 Because the "American" networks are the mainstream media, and they are mouthpieces for the federal government. And why are they? Because the federal government is a puppet of the same mega-corporations which own the major news media and the military/industrial complex.
Thank God for the InterNet where we can find the real news stories!
What makes me angry is that the state-run media refuses to cover this story. If this had been Romney or Bachmann it would be huge news, and a gigantic boost to the campaign. We'd never hear the end of it.
the likes and views are always wrong they use them for their own count and leave us wondering why no one cares,or so it seems that no one is watching like your all alone
Americas Founding Fathers were a bunch of genocidally racist, aristocratic, slave owning bigots who decided that only their social class could vote.
America was never libertarian, libertarianism is immoral, and Ron Paul has an archaic and obscure interpretation of the constitution
If anyone would like to debate these points in a mature and intelligent fashion I will gladly oblige.
@urdisturbing Ya that's right forcing people to live by yours or an other code is the moral choice. The application of force is whats moral. And it's so mature and intelligent calling people you've never met genocidally racist, aristocratic, slave owning bigots. You're better than all of us so tell us what to do.
There is a stated guide for which the government should abide by, it may have been set up by oppressed english racist, slave owning bigots, but they came out of an even more oppressive government to create what is established.
ALL Idealism aside, can you lay out perfect government that truly ever works with intentions of man ranging? If you can, FINE, thats great, the disrespect paid for and supported by the politicians in office now to the laws that are theres ridiculous
@paindrain I consider myself a leftist. The deficit problem could be solved by taxing the rich and cutting military spending. I would also reform and expand Americas public healthcare system because America has the most expensive HC system per capital in the world and 40% of Americans don't have coverage. Clearly it's uniquely private system doesn't work. I would also expand public education because sophisticated economies require sophisticated workforces.
@urdisturbing Consider yourself what you want, the budget deficit problem is small compared to the debt problem. I am neither left nor right, but this is the jargon pulled under Clinton, who "balanced the budget and had a surplus," but overall ADDED 1.3-1.6 Trillion in borrowed debt. Sure Bush Jr eclipsed that by tons, he was also a prick involved in deciept, and it just keeps going, and going.... to this day people want to argue money and not reality, it would hurt too much. Left/Right =crap
@urdisturbing Where exactly do you get your statistics. According to the Commonwealth Fund 52 million adults were uninsured in 2010. Thats only roughly 17%. As for it being uniquely private being an issue I agree. However the likes of Obamacare that stifle competition between HCP's are not going to help (Ask a Canadian what they think of their healthcare...).
@urdisturbing So why did this agreement we've come upon, start from Ron Paul being archaic? even if some of his views (like the Fed) and corrupt government being openly pointed out was cutting edge decades ago? and still made out to be left/right issues by the media, when it really isn't.
@urdisturbing its not imoral what we have today is imoral killing civilains all over the world with drones getting involved with pointless wars sending people to prision for money the militry indusrail complax bailing out banks, thats immoral
@TheAlexagius If America doesn't fix its atrocious forign policy and its monetary system its society is doomed in the long run. Ron Paul deserves points on these issues.
It also needs to better fund its public education and healthcare systems. If a person is born into a poor family they shouldn't be sick and illiterate their whole lives. Economic progress is pointless without moral progress, and Ron Pauls domestic policy would be disastrous for a lot of people.
@urdisturbing LOL. So how do you plan to pay for those without infringing on my freedoms? It isn't my fault someone's parent made a mistake made a life they couldn't afford.
@hotfudgemoney "So how do you plan to pay for those without infringing on my freedoms"
You don't have an inalienable right to be free of income and property tax. I think the best government is the one that is most benificial society, and I think Ron Pauls domestic policy will destroy a lot of lives and intellectually enslave a population. Fortunately, he has ZERO chance of getting elected.
@urdisturbing Hahahah, you're a trip buddy. I DO have the right to be free of income and property tax... What makes you think you have the right to reap the benefits of my hard work, should I decide not to share them with you? Zero chance? Lawl. No YOUR philosophy has ZERO chance of getting elected, cause Feudalism is old as fuck and that's all you're preaching.
@hotfudgemoney I'm not preaching feudalism, I'm preaching democracy. A system in which politicians only respond to the desires of the top .01% is feudalistic, and according to Princeton political scientist Larry Bartels, that is exactly what America has. I don't see how Ron Pauls policies will do anything to fix this serious problem.
@urdisturbing You're not trying to preach feudalism, but you're still under the misconception that a small number of people can be trusted to act with honor and loyalty when it comes to serving the good of their people. You're also under the misconception that leaders can easily be held accountable for their actions, especially those which do not serve the collective, since you're obviously a collectivist, but you have no plan as to how that's going to work, right? At least I haven't seen it.
@urdisturbing So how do you propose we change from here? How are you going to remove the restraints that intertwine the government and business.. the mingling that got us where we are in the first place. How are you going to hold leaders accountable to their people? If the government can't function at the size it is now, how do you expect it to provide more and spend even more money while simultaneously acting responsible?
@hotfudgemoney "how do you propose we change from here?" I agree that American democracy is broken, so the only thing we as individuals can do is educate ourselves, live our lives as best we can, and make smart choices. I just don't think Ron Paul is a smart choice. His solution to the healthcare/education crises in America is to let poor people die and to have churches educate everyone. He phrases his views a little more eloquently than that, but his solutions are worse than the problem.
@urdisturbing Education will not stop power from corrupting people. That's the point. His solution in health care is GOOD because it creates incentive for GOOD AFFORDABLE practice... Free of bureaucracy, no need for insurance if you have the money. His solution to education is perfect. It's pathetic in this country the way we're turning college into compulsory education... It's turning the quality into public school standard.
@urdisturbing Public school is a joke. It's inefficient and ineffective. Why should education be a requirement of every citizen, should they refuse? School is not something everyone needs, unless you live in a culture-less shit hole that feeds their children chemicals and sends them away for six hours to learn through the lens of a randomly selected public official, a preset curriculum determined by whom?
@urdisturbing How are his solutions worse than the problem? If you wanna learn something, go somewhere you can, it may cost you, but that's only because you'll earn from it in the end... If where you go is unreasonable, there will be others which are more reasonable. His solution is to privatize education, what's horrifying about that? YOU PAY for public school anyway, you just don't see the transfer of money, perhaps that ties in with why it's a waste of everyone's time, energy, and wealth.
@urdisturbing "Ron Pauls domestic policy will destroy a lot of lives and intellectually enslave a population". Really, just how will his domestic policy of private property rights, sound money, lower taxes, smaller government, ending undeclared foreign wars and abolishment of government domestic spy programs will "enslave" us? I truly want to understand, so please elaborate & break down your though process to how you reach your conclusion.
@jgoemaat "just how will his domestic policy... "enslave" us?"
"Only he who lives by reason can be called free" - Spinoza
Democracy only works with a free press, and at present the press consists of nothing but corporate propaganda. With the removal of anti-trust laws, concentrated media ownership will undoubtedly increase. Do you really want the Rupert Murdochs of the world reporting all your news? Through war and environmental destruction that may well mean the end of our species.
@jgoemaat Then there is the fact that all major media outlets are owned by people who hate unions, meaning unions cannot count on the public for support. Taking away their legislative protection is no different from killing them.
In the English speaking world there is a long standing tradition that any government which does not exist for the benifit of its citizen is illegitmate. It's sad to see that those hard fought battles which created democracy were all for nothing.
Im a centre libertarian and agree with you about education, I think that schools are a justifiable thing to tax people for. A better educated population means a more productive economy, lower crime rates and undoubtedly improves practically every positive societal indicator. I may consider that taxation is tantamount to theft in a general sense but I am fine someone taking my money to make sure someone knows how to read and write.
@323157 no one is saying we shouldnt tax ppl for edu, they are saying why keep increasing spending we pay more than any country per student and have absolutly nothing to show for it
@323157 The problem is this: the federal government has been meddling more and more in education -- which, taxes or not, is a matter for the individual states and local communities -- and the result is that American high school graduates are at best semi-literate and many are functionally illiterate. When others spend your money the result is never good.
Clearly we all benefit more from liberty and keeping control of our own wealth than from government meddling in education.
Its certainly true that the US department of education has been something of a joke over the decades but that does not mean that state controlled education is de facto bad. Some of the best education results come from countries that place a high importance on government run education. This said I would imagine a voucher scheme would be the best idea with each student having an amount of money allocated to them and private schools fighting for this money.
@urdisturbing for one, charity and benevolence should come from family, churches, people, individuals, not from forced coercian through taxes and entitlement programs, which the government is doing more and more of...his interpretation of the const is accurate on so many issues, states rights, personal responsibility (ie gvt shouldnt make laws 2 protect you from yourself), monetary policy, role of gvt in general, role of congress/senate, etc..the main is a whirlwind of knowledge and history..
@DJMYLESA Yes, what I find so ironic is all the fairly recent (relatively) support from the churches in regards to using tax money vs. donations to fund the welfare state. I'm fairly sure COMPULSORY taking of money is not a donation and I just can't find where in the bible that it's OK for government to forcibly take from one group and give to another. I'd love for a priest to chime in on this topic so I can understand how the bible is being twisted for that interpretation.
isn't this ironic?
Soldiers supporting Ron Paul. mmmmm.
Last time I checked Ron Paul doesn't believe in paying decent and moral levels of welfare to anyone who is disabled or sick or simply a victim of inequality in an unfair society.
Ron Paul: "we just can't pick everyone up - we just can't afford to do it."
So. What happens to a soldier returning from duty who is disabled or has developed mental illness? Well - I guess Ron Paul has answered you on that already.
You need to question?

Ron Paul. Is he like Reagan? Only - Ron believes in economic cleansing of society. Not like fascism though.
His supporters? Those who refuse to pay a few dollars more in order to have a more equal society. If you did that you'd miss watching less privileged folk and the disabled and sick sink deeper into despair and poverty.
Ah....they just weren't like you. ie. Privileged. That's all there is to your "brilliance". oh and a lack of human decency to boot. The two often go hand in hand.

A flight surgeon in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War, Dr. Ron Paul delivered in a civilian capacity, more than 4,000 babies before entering politics in 1976. This past week, the number of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan under President Obama's administration surpassed 1,000, bringing the total to 1,657. At this rate, our President will have put more lives in harm's way by the end of his term, than what the good doctor has saved or brought into this world during his lifetime.

I can not speak for Ron Paul but I think he believes in small government and thus job creation will come from private individuals under favourable conditions - less legislation and lower taxes.
The people in the US are being systematically robbed of the money they earned through government enacted quantitative easing and bailouts. The same is happening in the UK.
I can't express my disappointment with Obama. He inherited a horrendous situation from that moron Bush but fail

Ron Paul is the only candidate running for President who understands how the Federal Reserve has stolen 97% of the dollar-denominated wealth of Americans over the past century through inflation. If more Americans became members of NIA and were educated to the truth about why their standard of living is in such rapid decline, and why prices for food, gas, health care, and college tuition are skyrocketing even with real unemployment at 22%, Ron Paul would be elected as President in a heartbeat

@urdisturbing We hav'nt had free market capitalism or true democracy in over a century and during that century we have diluted the constitution to destroy the checks and balances between the three branches of govt which means we are centralizing power. We have been drifting away from democracy and capitalism and towards fascism and socialism. So it is no surprize that the situation for society is getting worse: socialism doesn't improve society. It never has and it never will.

@urdisturbing "The founding fathers were corrupt" Are you kidding me?!?! I am not saying they were perfect by any means no one is; however, the facts are (and history proves) that there has been no other period of time where the masses of a nation have had more freedom, or has the wealth been spread more evenly through the population than America under free market capitalism and the Constitution. Socialism creates a "power elite" by centralizing power to a few. True democracy balances the power.

interpretaion of the constitution. I encourage you to read the book The Peoples Guide to the United States Constitution by Dave Kluge. It is a very fast read and it frames out the the ideas and events leading up to the revolutionary war and the creation of the constitution. only if we understand the circumstances of the time can we know the real intent of the constitution.
jdonald05 7 months ago
@jdonald05 The founding fathers were corrupt. They were aristocrats who faught a war and wrote a constitution in order to consolidate and expand their power.
The best government is the one that most benifits society. Agree or disagree? I think societies which have systemic power imbalances inevitably suffer opression, because power corrupts. Letting corporations control everything (or "self regulate" as freemarket dogmaticists say) would only increase the power of the ruling class.
urdisturbing 7 months ago
@jdonald05 I suggest you read the influential book "Power Elite" by the sociologist C. Wright Mills for more info on the evolution of Americas ruling class. I suggest you google "Why Socialism Albert Einstein" for a powerful defense of socialism. I suggest you read the book "Manufacturing Consent" by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky for more info on the corporate propaganda model.
I paid money for and read "Revolution: A Manifesto" in 2008.

@urdisturbing There can only be one interpretation of the constitution and that is through the eyes of the people who wrote it in the forst place. The founding fathers wrote it durring a time of war, inflation, over taxation, violations of liberty, and massive centralized govt power. These are the very same issues we face today, and is a direct cause of supreme court judges over centuries interpreting the constitution to fit their political interest. Ron Paul uses our founding fathers

@hotfudgemoney I like to think that we can give him some new ideas to think about and encourage him to read about free market capitalism, liberty, and the constitution.

Although I agree it is extremely frustrating...
jdonald05 7 months ago
@jdonald05 Ron Pauls interpretation of the constitution is archaic and obscure. No supreme court has subscribed to it in almost 100 years.
I think the solution to mankinds problems is largely educational, and that is one thing that libertarians agree with me on. There is no problem that cannot be solved by getting the right information to the right people. For this reason I think it is important to have limitations on media ownership and to have an educated society.

@urdisturbing the constitution. Never voted to increase taxes. The guy has more intestinal fortitutude than any politician that I have ever seen. So I think if you want to have a president, who will not abuse his power, then Ron Paul is the candidate. If you are serious about really changing govt. than you have to get rid of The Fed and get back to sound money, massively shrink the size of govt, and actually follow the constituion. These are all the policies of Ron Paul.
jdonald05 7 months ago
@urdisturbing Unfortunately, the only way to stop lobbying is to go back to a monetary system of sound money (gold standard), which is what Ron Paul wants to do. You see, the lobbyists, giant corporations, and big government are just symptoms of the underlying issues. Ron Paul has been a politician for over twenty years, and durring that time he has never abused his power. He has stayed true to his constituents. The man has NEVER voted for any money appropriation that was not directly stated in

@urdisturbing I don't think you understand the problem. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who has a solution - strip away the power to manipulate the money supply(end the Fed), and you eliminate the govt's ability to reallocate the new money from the people to their political interests. By the way Priceton is not the best place for advice afterall it is their ex head of economics Ben Bernanke (chairman of the federal reserve) who is now facilitating the very government corporatism that you despise.
jdonald05 7 months ago 2
@jdonald05 "I don't think you understand the problem" The problem as I see it is that when people have power they abuse it. Is Ron Paul going to prevent corporations from bribing ("Lobbying") politicians? Is he going to make people immune to propaganda or make the elites less greedy? If not, his policies are band-aid solutions.
I'm a reader of Antony Sutton so I'm familiar with all the conspiracy theories surrounding the fed. Auditing the Fed was a good idea.

The surprising fact (that wasn't mentioned) is how small contributions from the military are as compared to overall fundraising by candidates. Obama raised almost 750 million for the 2008 election. Given Obama has raised $28,834 from the military, that's 0.003 % of his total.
What this says to me, is there are a bunch of rent seekers sucking on the government teat who fill the campaign coffers of politicians.

@TheAlexagius If America doesn't fix its atrocious forign policy and its monetary system its society is doomed in the long run. Ron Paul deserves points on these issues.
It also needs to better fund its public education and healthcare systems. If a person is born into a poor family they shouldn't be sick and illiterate their whole lives. Economic progress is pointless without moral progress, and Ron Pauls domestic policy would be disastrous for a lot of people.

@urdisturbing LOL. So how do you plan to pay for those without infringing on my freedoms? It isn't my fault someone's parent made a mistake made a life they couldn't afford.

@hotfudgemoney "So how do you plan to pay for those without infringing on my freedoms"
You don't have an inalienable right to be free of income and property tax. I think the best government is the one that is most benificial society, and I think Ron Pauls domestic policy will destroy a lot of lives and intellectually enslave a population. Fortunately, he has ZERO chance of getting elected.

@urdisturbing Hahahah, you're a trip buddy. I DO have the right to be free of income and property tax... What makes you think you have the right to reap the benefits of my hard work, should I decide not to share them with you? Zero chance? Lawl. No YOUR philosophy has ZERO chance of getting elected, cause Feudalism is old as fuck and that's all you're preaching.

@hotfudgemoney I'm not preaching feudalism, I'm preaching democracy. A system in which politicians only respond to the desires of the top .01% is feudalistic, and according to Princeton political scientist Larry Bartels, that is exactly what America has. I don't see how Ron Pauls policies will do anything to fix this serious problem.

@urdisturbing You're not trying to preach feudalism, but you're still under the misconception that a small number of people can be trusted to act with honor and loyalty when it comes to serving the good of their people. You're also under the misconception that leaders can easily be held accountable for their actions, especially those which do not serve the collective, since you're obviously a collectivist, but you have no plan as to how that's going to work, right? At least I haven't seen it.

@urdisturbing So how do you propose we change from here? How are you going to remove the restraints that intertwine the government and business.. the mingling that got us where we are in the first place. How are you going to hold leaders accountable to their people? If the government can't function at the size it is now, how do you expect it to provide more and spend even more money while simultaneously acting responsible?

@hotfudgemoney "how do you propose we change from here?" I agree that American democracy is broken, so the only thing we as individuals can do is educate ourselves, live our lives as best we can, and make smart choices. I just don't think Ron Paul is a smart choice. His solution to the healthcare/education crises in America is to let poor people die and to have churches educate everyone. He phrases his views a little more eloquently than that, but his solutions are worse than the problem.

@urdisturbing Education will not stop power from corrupting people. That's the point. His solution in health care is GOOD because it creates incentive for GOOD AFFORDABLE practice... Free of bureaucracy, no need for insurance if you have the money. His solution to education is perfect. It's pathetic in this country the way we're turning college into compulsory education... It's turning the quality into public school standard.

@urdisturbing Public school is a joke. It's inefficient and ineffective. Why should education be a requirement of every citizen, should they refuse? School is not something everyone needs, unless you live in a culture-less shit hole that feeds their children chemicals and sends them away for six hours to learn through the lens of a randomly selected public official, a preset curriculum determined by whom?
hotfudgemoney 7 months ago
@urdisturbing How are his solutions worse than the problem? If you wanna learn something, go somewhere you can, it may cost you, but that's only because you'll earn from it in the end... If where you go is unreasonable, there will be others which are more reasonable. His solution is to privatize education, what's horrifying about that? YOU PAY for public school anyway, you just don't see the transfer of money, perhaps that ties in with why it's a waste of everyone's time, energy, and wealth.

@urdisturbing "Ron Pauls domestic policy will destroy a lot of lives and intellectually enslave a population". Really, just how will his domestic policy of private property rights, sound money, lower taxes, smaller government, ending undeclared foreign wars and abolishment of government domestic spy programs will "enslave" us? I truly want to understand, so please elaborate & break down your though process to how you reach your conclusion.

Democracy only works with a free press, and at present the press consists of nothing but corporate propaganda. With the removal of anti-trust laws, concentrated media ownership will undoubtedly increase. Do you really want the Rupert Murdochs of the world reporting all your news? Through war and environmental destruction that may well mean the end of our species.
urdisturbing 7 months ago
@jgoemaat Then there is the fact that all major media outlets are owned by people who hate unions, meaning unions cannot count on the public for support. Taking away their legislative protection is no different from killing them.
In the English speaking world there is a long standing tradition that any government which does not exist for the benifit of its citizen is illegitmate. It's sad to see that those hard fought battles which created democracy were all for nothing.

Im a centre libertarian and agree with you about education, I think that schools are a justifiable thing to tax people for. A better educated population means a more productive economy, lower crime rates and undoubtedly improves practically every positive societal indicator. I may consider that taxation is tantamount to theft in a general sense but I am fine someone taking my money to make sure someone knows how to read and write.

@323157 no one is saying we shouldnt tax ppl for edu, they are saying why keep increasing spending we pay more than any country per student and have absolutly nothing to show for it
tsharpmac420 7 months ago
@323157 The problem is this: the federal government has been meddling more and more in education -- which, taxes or not, is a matter for the individual states and local communities -- and the result is that American high school graduates are at best semi-literate and many are functionally illiterate. When others spend your money the result is never good.
Clearly we all benefit more from liberty and keeping control of our own wealth than from government meddling in education.

Its certainly true that the US department of education has been something of a joke over the decades but that does not mean that state controlled education is de facto bad. Some of the best education results come from countries that place a high importance on government run education. This said I would imagine a voucher scheme would be the best idea with each student having an amount of money allocated to them and private schools fighting for this money.

@urdisturbing for one, charity and benevolence should come from family, churches, people, individuals, not from forced coercian through taxes and entitlement programs, which the government is doing more and more of...his interpretation of the const is accurate on so many issues, states rights, personal responsibility (ie gvt shouldnt make laws 2 protect you from yourself), monetary policy, role of gvt in general, role of congress/senate, etc..the main is a whirlwind of knowledge and history..

@DJMYLESA Yes, what I find so ironic is all the fairly recent (relatively) support from the churches in regards to using tax money vs. donations to fund the welfare state. I'm fairly sure COMPULSORY taking of money is not a donation and I just can't find where in the bible that it's OK for government to forcibly take from one group and give to another. I'd love for a priest to chime in on this topic so I can understand how the bible is being twisted for that interpretation.
