@dgfhadsg8 Christians are the biggest serial killers in the world. Hating Christians is not a bad quality it's a good one. Adults who believe in fairy tales want to run the country? lol.
@dgfhadsg8 And? Two things, is it not the morals of a christian to see the good in others, that is to see that a serial killer could have good traits. Second, she prides rationality and christianity is a concept of faith, not logic. Why would someone who lives life by what can be seen agree with someone which can't? Added to this, she doesn't hate christians, she chose to ignore christian faith because it doesn't correspond to her philosophy, that makes her more open to ideas than most theists.
I'm not surprised that Ron Paul is an objectivist, that callous bastard would let the poor die in the streets rather than spend a penny on social welfare and, if in power, would turn the USA into laughing stock. Maybe he should get in just to punish anyone stupid enough to vote for him by seeing what that cold-hearted libertaranism would actually mean for real people.
The rich will get a lot richer under Ron Paul and the poor, well he'd just leave them to die in the gutter.
@asubjectiveopinion social welfare is a failure in the long run, and that's based off of simple mathematical functions. He's not denouncing charities, so the argument that he would let the poor die in the streets without social welfare is more of a slippery slope argument if anything.
@asubjectiveopinion You claiming that the rich will get richer under libertarian leadership sounds really, really stupid given Republican and Democratic leadership have spearheaded bank bailouts over the last five years.
@asubjectiveopinion With all due respect, given that you made the original claim that Libertarian leadership would lead to the rich getting richer, the responsibility to provide evidence falls on you; not me.
I never claimed that your argument was false. I said, to put it more politely, that it sounded logically nonsensical to argue that libertarians will favor the rich relative to Democrats and Republicans who have been passing trillions of dollars in bailouts and stimulus packages.
Ayn Rand was a racist hypocrite and morally-bankrupt corporatist. Ron Paul, on the other hand, is a smart, compassionate individual. I just hope he didn't name his son after that woman.
@CuriousGeorgeMonkey9 Fucking idiot! She found racists to be the lowest of the low, and was for free markets and limited government. Corporatist want big government because they can't survive with it.
You don't know what you're talking about, and you are the racist, and a sexist.
@freedomoverfairness4 Can you please express your opinion in a calm, intelligent manner rather than just flaming at me?
Allow me to quote Ms. Rand: "The Arabs are one of the least developed cultures. They are typically nomads. Their culture is primitive, and they resent Israel because it's the sole beachhead of modern science and civilization on their continent. When you have civilized men fighting savages, you support the civilized men, no matter who they are."
@freedomoverfairness4 Arab men are "savages" for trying to fight off an advanced civilization that is trying to take over their land? This is nothing more than imperialist propaganda.
And unfortunately, YouTube does not allow you to post links to its site, but if you just Google the quote, you'll find it.
@CuriousGeorgeMonkey9 Wait a fucking minute. I hate the wars, and those responsible should be held to account DEEPLY. I know everything about those wars, and why America went there.
But you're right, you can call her views imperialist, but she wasn't a racist.
@freedomoverfairness4 Imperialism promotes racism. Just look at how the British subjugated the American Indians and the Dutch oppressed the South Africans. It's a cause-and-effect relationship. One leads to the other. For example, just because Fox News isn't racist doesn't mean that it doesn't promote racism among its viewers.
@CuriousGeorgeMonkey9 I think that quote from Rand was about America's oil shortage. She was talking about trade between the Middle East and the America. She expanded on that quote and (in my own words) explained that if were given the Muslims the technology to produce oil then we have a claim on that oil. When the British oppressed the Irish was that due to racism ?
@freedomoverfairness4 No, the quote was from a junket where Rand was asked whether she supported the Israelis or the Palestinians. And no, just because the British provided the Arabs with the tools to obtain oil doesn't mean that that oil is theirs to keep.
I'm not sure whether or not the British oppression of the Irish was due to racism, but it did breed racism.
I think you and I are getting off track. Do you also support Dr. Ron Paul?
@CuriousGeorgeMonkey9 Yes. I support him on social issues. Government should stay out of our lives, and I like his stance on the constitution. I don't agree with him on the economy. I agree with Steve Keen on that aspect of things. I think we should increase wages, prices will go up in return to have effective inflation, and it will make the debt more manageable. Nationalize the banks and have debt forgiveness (jubilee). Cut military spending, and Europe style health care.
@freedomoverfairness4 But if you increase wages by unconditional force on the governments part, you then may debilitate the employer from hiring workers, meaning that there will be layoffs for smaller companies and bigger companies will only serve to get bigger. Nationalized banks are also an enemy to social and fiscal policy by allying themselves with big corporations.
@CuriousGeorgeMonkey9 Part 2. I wouldn't just attack Fox. Listen to Cenk for TYT on democracy now talking about bias at MSNBC and Rick S at CNN said the same thing. Yes, Fox news promotes racism.
@freedomoverfairness4 Cenk Uygur and Rick Sanchez are two of the most intelligent progressives out there today. It was very compassionate of them to step forth in trying to unveil the shroud the lies and hypocrisy surrounding CNN, MSNBC, and the liberal elite.
Now, there are a number of other politicians and activists whom I truly admire. They include Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, Rand Paul, Mike Gravel, Michael Moore, Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, and Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Ron Paul has faith in the American people. Faith that we can help each other without compulsion. Ayn Rand said (and I agree with her on at LEAST this point) that we help each other without being forced. As Jesus said, "he that is the servant amongst you is the greatest among you." And he VOLUNTARILY washed his disciples feet. How much are you WILLING to give to your fellow Americans? Ron Paul's bet is a BIG bet. But I too have faith in all of you.
The questions therefore are, with the Fed gone, and private interests out of the way: Can America's citizens trust each other to not use their freedom, money, and power with government and economy in a way to attack each other? The citizens have the right to think and behave how they wish, but can they be responsible enough to not be hostile and malevolent to each others interest and well-being? Can we still look out for each others welfare without government compulsion or intervention?
Ayn Rand believed that government should not be involved with the economy at all, and that the government should not be in control of the money supply. If her viewpoint prevails, this means that in time, 'money will be the servant of one group, but master of another'. The group with the money is the group with the power. That's why money should be in public control. Readily available for ALL of America's citizens to utilize for whatever purpose. No longer should the Fed have control over it.
Upon reading the heated comments, I'll add just one point:
I believe someone has the right to be racist. They have the right to teach their children whatever they want. These are personal choices, and government should not interfere with this. White-only restaurant? Fine. However, those same people do not have the right to utilize government to reduce or dilute the rights of their fellow citizens (minorities). Money in government control, and out of private hands, is the way to ensure this.
That's the ONLY thing that troubles me about Ron Paul. How was he able to speak somewhat favorably about Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged, when both Rand and her book allegedly have connections to the Illuminati (the very same architects behind the Federal Reserve system and Globalist agenda)?
@jathanator The book is more NWO in nature and is not Illuminati-esq. The Illuminati have over two dozen treatises available to read (in german though). If you want to get know what they are really about, look at simply their name. It is a shortening of the theological school of "thought" they belonged to. Go find out the truth, for the lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of the understanding ;)
I JUST RETURN FROM THE HILTON IN MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. TO HEAR RON PAUL.
WHAT A POWERFUL SPEAKER & A BRILLIANT MAN. RON SPOKE FOR 30 MIN. W/NO NOTES.HE WILL DESTROY OBAMA IN A DEBATE!
THE CONVENTION CENTER WAS PACKED! THE CROWD WAS ON FIRE! DR. PAUL HAS THE CURE FOR APATHY!
I AM SO INSPIRED TO WORK FOR RON!
WE NEED BOOT ON THE GROUND FOR RON. GO TO HIS WEBSITE & START MAKING PHONE CALLS, DONATE $ EVEN IF IT'S 5 BUCKS, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY BECOME A DELEGATE!
@AdamsSeed Lol, Americans using historical accounts totally out of timeline and proportion.
Ayn Rand lived through the Bolshevik era of Russia, she was criticising what she perceived to be the Soviet Union, because her family had made part of the anti-Bolshevik, Pro-Capitalist side of the February revolution... Not truly a futuristic view of a tinfoil hat NWO.
"The bottom line it that central banking (the federal reserve) is an evil cancer, these people are selling us credit they don't have, so they can take profits they don't deserve out of our pockets, that's nuts."

If you can't separate your personal views, and a Candidates on issues not of National importance, in such a way as to disrespect or ignore the exemplary personal, proffessional and moral actions of the individual , just for disagreeing with you on an arbitrary point, undermines what ever moral objective that you may have had. If you can't take something positive from Ayn Rand or Ron Paul, and are looking for perfection in an ideal and a person 100%.....May I extend hope and sympathy to you.
@2598129 Have you never read the constitution? If so, maybe you don't need to ask this question. It's not a gray area, this documents spells it out in black and white. regardless how those in power try and spin it into some gray area. It also protects those that think not being in prison is being free. That's the beauty of this document. I suggest you read it. Constitution first, price of gas and goods, second.
@Ducatisatva I have to agree with you thou unfortunately this is the only document that separates us from the rest of the world cause we are broke.Take remaining freedoms way and we'll be no different than China or Chilli.I am not buying the "new normal" point of view so popular these days with the WSJ.It is all can be fixed.
Problem is that if we let it slide any further ,there will be nothing to save left of our economy and only few understand this.
@2598129 Right. Well we are not broke, not really. That is the biggest lie few are really exposing, except for Paul. The money in this country is rigged that is why it appears we are broke. But we are not. Don't fall for it. study how Germany, after World War I went from the biggest country in debt to the economic powerhouse of Europe in 4 years. No, our true wealth lies in the abilities and labor of the citizenry. We just need to unrig the system. Ron Paul 2012.
i know also that Germany would never make it without our financial backing in the 30s.
And yes we are sort of broke and this is the cause of our GDP growth of only 1% vs 9% in Asia ,6%Brazil etc.You will get an idea how broke we are if you buy a cup of coffee in Geneva for $12.00 or $10 in Paris.How did we end up like this?Cause most of our investments in Asia and else where but not here ,why is that?
@2598129 Germany issued their own currency, not borrowed money but debt free. And they put their people to work. The money held value because it was backed by the labors and ingenuity of the people. We invested in Germany only after they did this and demonstrated that they were worth the investment. Their strength did not come from outside investment, but from within. You want to win in this economy? Get together with enough people and pool your strengths and talents and you will be unstoppable.
@Ducatisatva I like your spirit ,it is always comes from within first.I just failed to see a how we can do it ,i think there is no simple solution like ending the fiat,since all the money is fiat these days.No one can tell corporations to bring back their mills either.
And they won't unless it is profitable and it will not be profitable unless they pay workers like they do in China like $1/hr or something.
@2598129 Well just keep up hope and do your best, that is all we can do. And not let pessimism trick you into believing what is not true, is. That is what has happened to so many people. But, stick to the truth and spread the word. because it is and will always be, worth it. No matter what anybody does or says or believes, the truth will always have them by the balls, ultimately. The solution is through sacrifice and risk, as long as truth stays as the guide.
Because the 99% were not able to compete and prosper in the Free market it was decided by the 1% that the only logical cause of this imbalance was that Communism had crept into their brains due to genetic mutation of a devolutionary nature.Thus they were to mongralized to live in freedom.The 99% died to save freedom and democracy for the 1%.It was only way.
the thing that irritates me about the randroids is that I actually went to see the 'Atlas Shrugged' movie...there were like 4 people there...real nice turnout - i think you guys are a bunch of fake libertarians, you just want to be able to light up a doob whenever you want, and that's about as far as it goes...
US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has come out and blamed the pro-Israel Lobby in America (AIPAC, ADL, ZOA, etc) for ruining her political career. While in congress she refused to sign the pro-Israel pledge and took a pro-Palestinian stance. Because of this, McKinney said “war was declared” on her by the Jewish lobby. In 2009 she told TIU's Ognir that “more than 99% of Congress work for Pro Zionist Israeli interests.”
If you watch the clip carefully, Ron touches his nose twice. Body language interpretes as either lying, hiding something or exaggeration. Watch again and observe as he tries convey that Ayn isn't liberarian but more militant.
@Bennehhful Qoute from a site: "Touching the nose can indicate that the person has detected a bad smell. It is also common signal from a person who is not telling the truth. When a person lies, blood vessels in their nose may dilate, making the nose swell or appear redder. The nasal engorgement then causes mast cells to release histamine, which makes the nose itch and so may lead to the person touching or scratching it (this is probably the basis of the Pinocchio story)."
@Bennehhful Continue from Quote (website) : " Rubbing the finger alongside the nose can indicate disagreement. It may also be a semi-suppressed nose-scratch related to lying. Pinching the bridge of the nose can show the person is evaluating something, usually negatively and with some frustration. Fiddling with the nose or pressing it down can just be a habit when the person is thinking." - end of quote
@sang3Eta I know you think it's funny, go ahead. Here, I'm just observing as a viewer. If you want to believe everything said by Ron, go ahead. Nobody is stopping you.
@ahantu Yeah right look at Bachman she is the clearly using the NLP technique called anchoring ,watch her hands carefully.It works only if a person has something to back it up with good meaningful reason thou and it doesn't if only the crap comes out from her mouth. Ron Paul just had itchy nose and this is it.
@KndrLnd This is called an "genetic fallacy". The notion that the origin of a work somehow effects how one should view a work itself and is inseparable of it. It's bad logic; an idea is an idea, and reading Rand's biography or whatever will most likely not change anyone's opinions on her work. Think of it this way: calling an African American the "n word" still means you've used a racial slur, regardless of the reasons. It doesn't matter here upbringing; she said what she said.
Listen to what Ron Paul says about Ayn rand at the end of this clip--"She sold millions of millions of books by word of mouth---but she was telling the truth,and people wanted to hesar it" And you Ron Paul supporters still think that Ron Paul is a "Man of the People?" He's a follower of Ayn RAND. And Aynwas completely against altruism,charity,helping others for any reason.She was that achieving happiness could only take place if you only cared about yourself. Bad message.
@brianbela Thank you. It's nice to see that someone else is getting the message "Every man for himself." In Atlas Shrugged it was captains of industry, those who produced things that everyone wanted that were glorified. In the end, morality and loyalty were petty concepts eschewed by those with the intelligence and strength of conviction not to be shackled by those less than themselves. It was the dollar sign that had the impact of a religious icon. Bioshock was also based on Ayn Rand
@brianbela Substitute John Galt for Andrew Ryan, and we have a winner. Any ideology that asks you to ignore the possible personal implications of the fact that all organisms compete for resources, and that food, textiles, workers, voters, ore, soldiers, etc are all resources (that means you too) is flawed. Your work, your ideas, can be taken and used at will by those with the intelligence and strength to do so. All ideologies are double edged. And I don't like Obama either.
The reason the leftists get so worked up about Rand's ideas, is that they could NEVER conceive of a person who doesn't think only of himself first- something they ALWAYS do in real life. So they go around spreading lies about her, and pretend to be both morally and intellectually above us all... All the while, spreading their bullshit.
This makes these so called "progressives" {sic}— feel both superior and virtuous, which is better than sex (for them), and provides a living at the same time.
@foamulator While the right comes up with ever more ridiculous excuses for extreme greed and apathy toward anyone but themselves. Their nothing but parasites, sucking the life from the US and using our military to grab even more from everyone else under the hubris of the WoT.
The military is the height of Collectivism. You look, dress, and behave like everyone else. Individualism is rooted out like poison. Your life is dedicated to sacrafice and service of others. You become a part of something much bigger than yourself. How can it be that you depend on others who can't participate in your philosophy to defend your privilege to believe the way you do?
Ayn Rand was a hypocrite and a sociopath, yet she had strong feelings and expressed them well enough. To me, the only Rand book worth reading was the short story, "Anthem".
"Anthem" clearly shows where Socialism leads if not checked by more sensible people...
@dan91709 Obviously dan91709 is too shallow to understand how complex Ron Paul's positions are. He actually believes RP is a racist and that peoples right to choose isn't a right and people like Dan should enforce what's right & wrong at a federal level. You know, kinda like Hitler did. Genius....pure genius. Maybe Dan should go back to Huffington Post so he can rally around gross generalizations & emotional sound bites with like minded sheep. Happy New Year, Dan!
@johnnyborealis There you go again with that wonderful "Hitlerian" Ronulan speak. Do the Ronniebots teach you to do that, or does it just come naturally?
If you had a clue, you'd know that even today, without Federal intervention, blacks couldn't vote, use whites-only bathrooms, eat a restaurants, or go to decent schools. You know perfectly well Ronnie says people have the "right" to discriminate on the basis or race and religion.
You can come clean. We already know you're a hateful bigot. :-)
I'd agree with what you're saying if we were living in the 20th century. Your viewpoints are dated. All of those barriers are broken down. Yet, you seem to want to maintain them. Therein lies YOUR bigotry. Your 80's liberalism is useless now. Time to move on....
@johnnyborealis (guffaw) I suppose you think the KKK is a boy's club and white supremacist militias are a figment of the 1980s? (Hint: they're alive and endorse Ron Paul.)
Just days ago another attempt to stop blacks from voting in South Carolina was struck down by the Supreme Court. The Dixie flag still flies above some state capitols.
I'm glad to hear you'd agree with me if this was 12 years ago. Unfortunately, some parts of the country dwell in the late 19th Century - and that's no joke.
@dan91709 (gufffffaw) Sorry you live in fear/idiotville. Maybe you should move. I don't judge people by race, religion or any other thing... and I'm not holding myself back because of other people's ignorance....Nor does Ron Paul. Obviously you let it hold you back. Every politician has unsavory followers....Your loss for judging them for it.
Ron Paul is not a racist. He does however have a dangerous idea about isolationist foreign policy, although considering how badly Obame and Hillary have screwed things up, it couldn't be much worse...
I wouldn't worry too much about these libtard posters who call everyone who disagrees with them a racist. They are intellectually dishonest, and out of ideas.
@foamulator Oh, I get it, now. If we point out that Ron Paul defended the articles in his newsletters a couple of years after they came out, then we're being intellectually dishonest.
I don't think those words mean what you think they mean.
@foamulator non-intervention is not isolationism. Is every other country in the world isolationist? Check out Operation Ajax. This is only one example of what we have been doing since ww2 that has resulted in "blowback" even until this day. Watch General Wesley Clarks testimony about what happened after 911.
@johnnyborealis Could you remind the Evangelical Christians on this subject? They seem to be ignoring your timeline, and continuing their divisive hate-mongering towards gays, even while you deny it's existence.
Nevermind the apeshit insanity that erupted from the right once they realized that black man was now president, and a Democrat, to boot! Birthers, please!
@trog69 Don't confuse hate with the truth. True Christians love everyone and have compassion for all sinners because we sin also. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Telling gays that they are sinning is the truth not hate. Some tell out of hate and some tell because they want gays to repent so they can be saved and not go to hell.
@hamptonbay100 Yes, but they ALL use their religious beliefs to excuse their bigotry. And I'm sorry, but when even the ones who pretend to care about a gay person's soul still tells them that they shouldn't have the rights that all other Americans enjoy, then it doesn't really matter what their reasons behind the divisive nonsense.
One of Santorum's endorsers has admitted that he would like to see the death penalty for homosexuals. Christianity at it's finest!
@trog69 Yes, some so called "Christians" believe in the death penalty for homosexuals, but most believe as Jesus taught "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." (about the adulterous woman). Does Santorum support death penalty for homosexuals? If he does not, then don't judge him on the beliefs of one of his endorsers. P.S. I'm for Ron Paul and see the same smear tactics being used against him.
@hamptonbay100 You don't seem to understand what an "endorsement" is, do you? I mean, if Noam Chomsky called a press conference and said that he was fully supporting Ron Paul, do you think that Rep. Paul would announce how thrilled he was to receive this blessing. Not very likely. The stances of the endorser are critical; ask McCain why he had to refuse Rev. Hagee's endorsement in 2008.
@trog69 Many people of varied backgrounds and beliefs may support or endorse a candidate, I personally don't have a problem with fringe endorsements of candidates I support, and would not not vote for someone because of fringe endorsements. I vote for someone because of their record and their principles.
@hamptonbay100 And when the candidate is willing to allow a bigotted, admitted genocidal maniac to endorse him, merely because that might mean more votes from the pro-maniac camp? Good luck with that. sheesh.
@johnnyborealis I would add that Ronnie says that the Civil War was "unconstitutional." So, if we went back to the kind of world Ronnie Paul advocates, you could be sipping Mint Juleps on the veranda while your slaves toiled in the field, and all would be "right" with the world...
Ron Paul is an old Dixiecrat fossil - and with the help of white supremacists everywhere he might even win one or two primaries before he's buried with fecal discharge from his very own supporters.
@dan91709 Please tell me someone is paying you to be this dumb. You are the quintessential "American Idiot". Congratulations! Oh, by the way, did you know that Chris Rock, Kelly Clarkson, Vince Vaughn, & Barry Manilow are all racists, sexists & homophobes????
@johnnyborealis Nice job admitting to everyone that dan91709 is far too intelligent in his responses for you to counter with argument, and that instead you must resort to name-calling and personal insults.
@hamptonbay100 "Where 'does' is it written?" LOL On dem dar books you ain't red...
Under the US Constitution, the ultimate arbiter of the powers and obligations of the states and the Federal government is the US Supreme Court. Unilateral secession of any state was found to be illegal and unconstitutional in the Supreme Court ruling in Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1869). That ruling has subsequently been reinforced by many others.
@hamptonbay100 Where does it say in the US Constitution that a state may secede or not secede? No where. On the specifics of secession, the text of the Constitution is mute. However, as I explained, all of the states entered into the governance under the Constitution of their own volition. Every state agreed that the supreme arbiter of the law is the US Supreme Court. The court decides what is lawful. It has decided that secession is not legal for many reasons including the one stated below.
@TheHomoludens Yes, you can thank Republican miscreants for the NDAA. After all, THEY WROTE IT! They would rather shirk their responsibilities under the constitution to paint Obama as an anti-constitutional totalitarian than work together in the national interest. It's time to bury the GOP once and for all - but not with a 76 year old Dixiecrat racist creatard.
If I were you, I'd be more concerned about the collapse of the European economy, the dissolution of the Euro, the growing potential for civil war in Europe, and the appointment of dictators in Greece and Italy. Leave the 76 year old racist that thinks Dixie (the Southern Confederate States) should rise again, that Iran should have Nuclear weapons, and that Evolution is a myth to Americans that actually understand our political process.
@hamptonbay100 As a US citizen, I am entitled to the rights and protections of the US Constitution as my birthright. No state has the power to deny me those rights and protections for any reason. If a state interferes with my rights as a citizen, the Federal government is empowered and compelled, under the Constitution, to take whatsoever actions may be necessary to restore those rights and protections as well as the preeminence of the US Constitution. In short, secession MUST be illegal. Period
Socialism is really a product of Christianity, a slave-morality that ensures the weak that they are "good" and deserve "justice". The "justice" of the socialist is nothing more than revenge against the strong. We can eliminate socialism when we eliminate Christianity, but this will take quite a bit of effort. As long as it exists the "good" will continue to suck the blood of true men and insist that they are "evil"
Cabalistic Christianity, which is Catholic Christianity, and which has prevailed for 1,500 years, has received a mortal wound, of which the monster must finally die. Yet so strong is his constitution, that he may endure for centuries before he expires.
-- John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson, July 16, 1814
I know that the "Human Development Index" , was invented by socialists, who want to promote socialism, and that it has about as much veracity as the term "progressive". LOL
@foamulator Forget this guy, he created this new profile to troll. Look at his creation date on his profile. He only trolls videos with socialist garbage ideas.
@foamulator He doesn't even acknowledge the fact that those countries high on the index are in a financial apocalypse right now because of their socialist spending policies. I bet he believes countries like Greece are actually doing well HAHA.
@SanguineBullet667 Sad. Even when the trees are falling all around them, they STILL can't see the fallacy of socialism. How did it go? " Socialism is great, until you run out of other people's money!" LOL This same nonsense has overburdened the States here in the US as well, with the incestuous relationship between Government workers and their friends at the local levels and state capitals. It won't work anymore. There is no more money.
@foamulator It is working. Now we have socialized "medicine" so that we can pay for worthless dangerous "treatments" that make things worse. (statins, cholesterol drugs, vaccines, heart surgery, stints, etc.) 90% of flu is preventable by maximizing vit d levels. 77% of cancers are preventable with vit d and calcium supplements. Fat people can smoke and drink then have someone else pay their hospital bills.
Now is the time to act to stop this planned genocide of much of the American citizenry. As an American citizen I advocate the elimination of the FEMA camps now. By whatever means necessary these death camps need to be nuetralized. Americans are the new Jews of Nazi Germany and the time for action is now.
With the advent of the new law to declare America as the battleground, and the past Patriot act it is obvious that tactics used in Nazi Germany are being deployed here in America. The existance of FEMA detention camps with rail lines to them and gas lines hooked to buildings is evidence that a plan is being enacted to capture, imprison and kill Americans. The worldwide hatred of Americans will cause many people in other countries to rationalize the deaths as divine justice.
Life isn't fair. It never will be. You leftists cannot make it so, despite your Utopian dreams of life in an ant colony. If you try to use government compulsion to do so, you are no better than the totalitarians of history. Meritocracy does not "breed sociopathy". How absurd a statement. Leftist mentality is clearly a simple hatred of individualism and liberty. I despise your outlook on life and leave you to it. I hope you will be very happy with your search for fairness.
Did you know that every nation on earth that ranks higher on the human development index than us are all highly socialistic nations with strong federal governments?
Have we bickered before? What I say is a fabulously easy point to make, and a true one. If you had countered with anything sensible I would have remembered you.
@Andrewh313 Why are you using a secondary youtube account to preach your idealistic nonsense? Why not just get on your main and put your ideas out there instead of cowering behind a 2 day old account? I'm sure you wouldn't want your facebook friends to google your email address and find out what a stinking socialist you are.
@SanguineBullet667 You Ronulans are so amusing! Anyone that posts Ron Paul making a jackass of himself is a socialist? I'm sure your fuhrer (the grand wizard of the KKK aka "chuckles") is delighted by your ridiculous spew. LMAO!
@foamulator Don't forget though that mainstream conservatives mostly all despise individual freedom as well when it comes to lifestyle choices that their religion disapproves of.
@foamulator Individualism and liberty to the point of dis-connect? We're all in this together man, so find a nice fat tree and rap your arms around it.
@foamulator "If you try to use government compulsion to do so, you are no better than the totalitarians of history."
No, charging taxes to fund healthcare schemes does not mean that the government that does so is as bad or worse than Hitler or Stalin. There's no comparison, and you're an idiot for suggesting that there is. (as are the 35 people who thumbed you up there)
@foamulator All you have to do with rightist libertarians like yourself is every time you say the words remove government, you replace it with the words un-regulate corporations, and suddenly we see who are no better than the totalitarians of history.
@doggysti3s The notion that Ron Paul wants to "remove government" is false and a complete misconception. He wants to shrink the federal government and return power back to the states. He wants to de-corporatize the federal government (which is why there is so much misinformation spread around about him). At state level, your voice is louder and more effective.
@johnnyborealis Ron Paul wants to throw the Constitution away and restore the Articles of Confederation. BTW. How do you deal with state level corruption? I believe that if power was restored to states, ejaculations would be illegal within a year in Mississippi, Virginia, and Iowa. Each one would be 10 million counts of murder.
@drankin2112 The constitution has already been thrown away. Ron Paul wants to restore it. I think the way you perceive him is bizarre....and your comments on ejaculations are way too cynical for me..but I guess we'll just have to disagree. Cheers!
@johnnyborealis That's such nonsense! LOL! You Ronulans are such funny conspiracy nuts! Say something else... I'm dying to hear your twisted mind at work. Come on, I'm sure people have told you a lot of other things to say. Spill 'em! LMAO!
@dan91709 "Nonsense", "Funny conspiracy nuts", "Twisted mind" "LMAO"...Wow, you make such well thought out, mature & intellectual arguments. Name calling and mockery is genius! Thanks for wasting your life.
@johnnyborealis What do you say about Ronnie's stated support of the peoples' "right" to decide what minorities can rent apartments, eat at a restaurants, go to school, drink at water fountains, or use "whites only" bathrooms?
What about Ronnie's desire to shut down the Departments of Energy, Homeland Security, Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security?
White supremacists want Ron Paul because he supports racism.
If you are an Objectivist, you believe that you owe nothing to the society that you take from. That's what a parasite does. You believe that other people's kids should fight and die to protect what you see as your entitlement. The entitlement to extract and consume and devour without refertilizing the land you take from. Where in nature does this philosophy work? If it's not sociopathy, it is definately the height of narcissism.

Added to this, she doesn't hate christians, she chose to ignore christian faith because it doesn't correspond to her philosophy, that makes her more open to ideas than most theists.

I'm not surprised that Ron Paul is an objectivist, that callous bastard would let the poor die in the streets rather than spend a penny on social welfare and, if in power, would turn the USA into laughing stock. Maybe he should get in just to punish anyone stupid enough to vote for him by seeing what that cold-hearted libertaranism would actually mean for real people.
The rich will get a lot richer under Ron Paul and the poor, well he'd just leave them to die in the gutter.

@CuriousGeorgeMonkey9 I think that quote from Rand was about America's oil shortage. She was talking about trade between the Middle East and the America. She expanded on that quote and (in my own words) explained that if were given the Muslims the technology to produce oil then we have a claim on that oil. When the British oppressed the Irish was that due to racism ?
freedomoverfairness4 4 days ago
@freedomoverfairness4 No, the quote was from a junket where Rand was asked whether she supported the Israelis or the Palestinians. And no, just because the British provided the Arabs with the tools to obtain oil doesn't mean that that oil is theirs to keep.
I'm not sure whether or not the British oppression of the Irish was due to racism, but it did breed racism.
I think you and I are getting off track. Do you also support Dr. Ron Paul?

@CuriousGeorgeMonkey9 Yes. I support him on social issues. Government should stay out of our lives, and I like his stance on the constitution. I don't agree with him on the economy. I agree with Steve Keen on that aspect of things. I think we should increase wages, prices will go up in return to have effective inflation, and it will make the debt more manageable. Nationalize the banks and have debt forgiveness (jubilee). Cut military spending, and Europe style health care.
freedomoverfairness4 4 days ago
@freedomoverfairness4 But if you increase wages by unconditional force on the governments part, you then may debilitate the employer from hiring workers, meaning that there will be layoffs for smaller companies and bigger companies will only serve to get bigger. Nationalized banks are also an enemy to social and fiscal policy by allying themselves with big corporations.

Ron Paul has faith in the American people. Faith that we can help each other without compulsion. Ayn Rand said (and I agree with her on at LEAST this point) that we help each other without being forced. As Jesus said, "he that is the servant amongst you is the greatest among you." And he VOLUNTARILY washed his disciples feet. How much are you WILLING to give to your fellow Americans? Ron Paul's bet is a BIG bet. But I too have faith in all of you.

The questions therefore are, with the Fed gone, and private interests out of the way: Can America's citizens trust each other to not use their freedom, money, and power with government and economy in a way to attack each other? The citizens have the right to think and behave how they wish, but can they be responsible enough to not be hostile and malevolent to each others interest and well-being? Can we still look out for each others welfare without government compulsion or intervention?
jathanator 5 days ago
Ayn Rand believed that government should not be involved with the economy at all, and that the government should not be in control of the money supply. If her viewpoint prevails, this means that in time, 'money will be the servant of one group, but master of another'. The group with the money is the group with the power. That's why money should be in public control. Readily available for ALL of America's citizens to utilize for whatever purpose. No longer should the Fed have control over it.

Upon reading the heated comments, I'll add just one point:
I believe someone has the right to be racist. They have the right to teach their children whatever they want. These are personal choices, and government should not interfere with this. White-only restaurant? Fine. However, those same people do not have the right to utilize government to reduce or dilute the rights of their fellow citizens (minorities). Money in government control, and out of private hands, is the way to ensure this.

Bennehhful 3 weeks ago
@Bennehhful Qoute from a site: "Touching the nose can indicate that the person has detected a bad smell. It is also common signal from a person who is not telling the truth. When a person lies, blood vessels in their nose may dilate, making the nose swell or appear redder. The nasal engorgement then causes mast cells to release histamine, which makes the nose itch and so may lead to the person touching or scratching it (this is probably the basis of the Pinocchio story)."
ahantu 3 weeks ago
@Bennehhful Continue from Quote (website) : " Rubbing the finger alongside the nose can indicate disagreement. It may also be a semi-suppressed nose-scratch related to lying. Pinching the bridge of the nose can show the person is evaluating something, usually negatively and with some frustration. Fiddling with the nose or pressing it down can just be a habit when the person is thinking." - end of quote

And I'm sorry, but when even the ones who pretend to care about a gay person's soul still tells them that they shouldn't have the rights that all other Americans enjoy, then it doesn't really matter what their reasons behind the divisive nonsense.
One of Santorum's endorsers has admitted that he would like to see the death penalty for homosexuals. Christianity at it's finest!

@trog69 Yes, some so called "Christians" believe in the death penalty for homosexuals, but most believe as Jesus taught "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." (about the adulterous woman). Does Santorum support death penalty for homosexuals? If he does not, then don't judge him on the beliefs of one of his endorsers. P.S. I'm for Ron Paul and see the same smear tactics being used against him.

@hamptonbay100 You don't seem to understand what an "endorsement" is, do you? I mean, if Noam Chomsky called a press conference and said that he was fully supporting Ron Paul, do you think that Rep. Paul would announce how thrilled he was to receive this blessing. Not very likely. The stances of the endorser are critical; ask McCain why he had to refuse Rev. Hagee's endorsement in 2008.

@trog69 Many people of varied backgrounds and beliefs may support or endorse a candidate, I personally don't have a problem with fringe endorsements of candidates I support, and would not not vote for someone because of fringe endorsements. I vote for someone because of their record and their principles.

@hamptonbay100 And when the candidate is willing to allow a bigotted, admitted genocidal maniac to endorse him, merely because that might mean more votes from the pro-maniac camp? Good luck with that. sheesh.

@johnnyborealis I would add that Ronnie says that the Civil War was "unconstitutional." So, if we went back to the kind of world Ronnie Paul advocates, you could be sipping Mint Juleps on the veranda while your slaves toiled in the field, and all would be "right" with the world...
Ron Paul is an old Dixiecrat fossil - and with the help of white supremacists everywhere he might even win one or two primaries before he's buried with fecal discharge from his very own supporters.
Have a nice day! :-)

@dan91709 Where does is it written that states can't secede from the United States?
hamptonbay100 4 weeks ago
@hamptonbay100 "Where 'does' is it written?" LOL On dem dar books you ain't red...
Under the US Constitution, the ultimate arbiter of the powers and obligations of the states and the Federal government is the US Supreme Court. Unilateral secession of any state was found to be illegal and unconstitutional in the Supreme Court ruling in Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1869). That ruling has subsequently been reinforced by many others.
The illegality of secession is BLACK LETTER LAW.

@hamptonbay100 Where does it say in the US Constitution that a state may secede or not secede? No where. On the specifics of secession, the text of the Constitution is mute. However, as I explained, all of the states entered into the governance under the Constitution of their own volition. Every state agreed that the supreme arbiter of the law is the US Supreme Court. The court decides what is lawful. It has decided that secession is not legal for many reasons including the one stated below.

@hamptonbay100 As a US citizen, I am entitled to the rights and protections of the US Constitution as my birthright. No state has the power to deny me those rights and protections for any reason. If a state interferes with my rights as a citizen, the Federal government is empowered and compelled, under the Constitution, to take whatsoever actions may be necessary to restore those rights and protections as well as the preeminence of the US Constitution. In short, secession MUST be illegal. Period

Socialism is really a product of Christianity, a slave-morality that ensures the weak that they are "good" and deserve "justice". The "justice" of the socialist is nothing more than revenge against the strong. We can eliminate socialism when we eliminate Christianity, but this will take quite a bit of effort. As long as it exists the "good" will continue to suck the blood of true men and insist that they are "evil"

Now is the time to act to stop this planned genocide of much of the American citizenry. As an American citizen I advocate the elimination of the FEMA camps now. By whatever means necessary these death camps need to be nuetralized. Americans are the new Jews of Nazi Germany and the time for action is now.

With the advent of the new law to declare America as the battleground, and the past Patriot act it is obvious that tactics used in Nazi Germany are being deployed here in America. The existance of FEMA detention camps with rail lines to them and gas lines hooked to buildings is evidence that a plan is being enacted to capture, imprison and kill Americans. The worldwide hatred of Americans will cause many people in other countries to rationalize the deaths as divine justice.

@doggysti3s The notion that Ron Paul wants to "remove government" is false and a complete misconception. He wants to shrink the federal government and return power back to the states. He wants to de-corporatize the federal government (which is why there is so much misinformation spread around about him). At state level, your voice is louder and more effective.
