Not the best of Paul's interviews, seemed nervous or timid. Still he was solid.
He is half-wrong and half-correct with regards to the civil war. We didn't need a war to free the slaves. The war wasn't just about slavery, it was primarily about state's rights opposing federal rights, in one manifestation of that being slavery. And @yebhx is right, the south shot first.
Nice how Ron Paul leaves out the fact that the south attacked first to start the civil war. Sure, offer to buy the slaves off of the guys who are shooting guns and cannons at you.
@p2eas3 funny that you say this, but if you actually watched some other episodes of Bill's show then you would know that Bill supports Ron Paul. Just cause he asks rough questions doesn't mean he hates the guy, don't jump to conclusions like an asshole.
Ron Paul denies evolution and global warming, as well as contradicts his own libertarian stance by supporting Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I mean, it's okay to have ideological differences such as believing that social support programs such as universal health care are not a good idea, but when you start denying *scientific facts* and start displaying your homophobia, your bid for Presidency is seriously compromised among intellectuals of any stripe.

@RedXlV The problem isn't whether people "believe" in "global warming" or not. The problem is that our Earth is going through drastic, disastrous changes, and it isn't the people's fault or their cars as "they" are trying to claim & make us pay for. If you care to know about what the few in power over the past 60 years or so who own rockets and the like have done to OUR world without ANYONE'S permission, google the following page: ratical.org/co-globalize/HAARPbg.html
You know what happened in 1953 on Iran?. The CIA prompted a coup d'etat against an elective democratic government. Then they installed the Shah which was a brutal dictator, which in turn was overturned by a highly religious fundamentalist theocracy.
The CIA has one mission, to gather intelligence, not bring down governments, causing blowback and jeopardizing our security.
People of other countries resent us destroying their democracies you know?.
@bluesrockfan36 Trust me I understand the CIA's all about cloak and dagger but, as hard as it is for me to agree with Maher, a poor job is better than no job. The CIA could definitely use some revision.
@bluesrockfan36 Well his stance on it may be different in this election he pretty clearly says "we could do without the CIA". Whatever it's not that important to me. Though I'm against a lot of what the CIA's done (only what we know of) I sort of get why. It's like George W. Bush. Going into Iraq was clearly a mistake but I understand why it was at least partially necessary.
He never said do without the CIA, he said: 'I think we can do without the CIA killing leaders in other countries, there's room for intelligence gathering.'
@bluesrockfan36 Nevertheless, he still seems a little soft on foreign policy for me. I'm not a war advocate or anything but overlooking Iran's possible nuke possession and the heat Hormuz situation is a little disturbing.
The Hormuz situation is just a sham to be honest, Iran has the most to lose if they close it.
Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon, we actually had more 'evidence' of Iraq back in 2003 than current Iran.
Iran is 90% Shia muslims, which are the prime targets for Al-Qaida (intolerant Sunni's). It's far more likely Pakistan would give terrorists a nuclear weapon (which can easily be traced by the way), than Iran.
@bluesrockfan36 All I'm saying is what Paul said. That if Iran did in fact have a nuclear weapon, he would still get less involved, even less than Obama, who needs seriously needs replacing.
If Iran get's a nuclear weapon, which doubt they will. Keep in mind that Iran still has the war against Iraq (Iran-Iraq conflict) fresh in their minds, they lost over 1 million people. They do not want another war.
But if Iran get's a nuclear weapon, again Ron Paul's position is to exhaust all other options before going to war, mainly diplomacy which we seem to have forgotten exists.
If we must go to war however, it should be through a congress vote, not an U.N resolution.
Most of our generals, most of our intelligence service and even the Israeli prime minister and head of the Mossad agree with Ron Paul policies.
The U.S is being extremely irrational about the situation. A country that cannot produce enough gasoline for itself is somehow gonna be a threat to Israel (they have 300+ nukes) and the U.S?.
There is no evidence for military grade uranium enrichment.
We don't need more enemies, we already have enough of them.
Paul's FAA comment was stupid. There are about 30,000 airplanes flying every day. He's griping about 4?! I realise the hijacking of those airplanes had devastating results, and in no way am I trying to diminish the importance of the loss of life; what I am trying to point out are the numbers. The FAA safely controls ~3 million people every day flying over USA, with a success rate of about 99.999%. Canning a successful government department is stupid.
@rossisaurus There's a big push to improve FAA infrastructure calling for way more traffic in the air. The old system that's in place could be much more efficient and help guide many more planes in the air. The private sector primarily IBM is bidding to take over air traffic control.
What makes you think the government is more successful in protecting their passengers and airline property than the very own airlines?.
What Ron Paul is saying, the federal government prohibits you as a passenger to resist so if flight 93 would've somehow successfully landed, the 'heroes' would be in jail.
Whereas if you have a marshal in an airplane and allowed to carry guns, you think 9/11 would've happened?.
The FAA in Canada for instance, is private, and wins awards.
@housecry Learn your history. Pres. Lincoln wrote that "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it." Ending slavery was about weakening the South's economic power gain from exploiting slave labor. It had nothing to do with caring about black people.
@freshkoolaid What the hell are you talking about? I know what Lincoln said in his inaugural address, but where is your comment coming from? Paul suggested slavery could have ended without war. Maher twice jeeringly said "not for the Civil War", implying that it was absolutely necessary for the emancipation of the slaves and therefore if you don't support the Civil War you support slavery. My comment was directed at Maher's absurd implied deduction. Geez.
@freshkoolaid No problem. For the future if you feel inclined to respond to a comment, and it's vague, just ask what someone means before jumping to conclusions. I apologize for the "what the hell" part.
Bill Maher was caught off guard. He was expecting his team to find him some retarded conservative whom he could easily argue with and entertain his bitch fans and get more Jewgold rolling but they gave him this guy. Someone was probably fired over this.
It's not enough to just say "vote Ron Paul". People need to SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE in most states. So REGISTER REPUBLICAN, otherwise, you CAN'T VOTE for Ron Paul in your state's primary!
If Ron Paul doesn't win enough delegates in the primaries, HE CAN'T RUN for President as a Republican! So
i DID A WHOLE PROJECT ON GLOBAL WARMING! It is a damn hoax! Bill Maher, i lost a lot of respect for you! Global warming will happen weather there are humans on the planet or not! Earth will be constantly warming up for the next million years, its a cycle!
There will be warming for the next million years? Ice ages have historically tended to happen in rather shorter intervals than a million years, so constant warming for the next million years would not be in line with the past cycles. I guess that shows the quality of research you did for your "project".
The fact is that the current warming trend can't be adequately explained by anything other than human activity.
I am a us citizen and i think its fucking retarded how we are brought up to believe that we have to solve all major problems with war. and if we don't agree with that ideology we are crazy....
So Maher supports the CIA whether they are needed or not, and a lengthy civil war even if there was a possibility of resolving the issue without it? I always though Maher was pragmatic, guess I was wrong.
Any possibility of resolving the slavery issue without war ended when the southern states decided to secede before Lincoln even took office.
And Paul's notion of buying up all the slaves and then freeing them wouldn't have worked because the plantations relied on slavery to function. They wouldn't have been willing to sell their slaves. Plus, I'm surprised Paul even thinks it would've been constitutional for the government to do that in the first place.
@RedXlV The idea of buying the slaves and freeing them wasn't Paul's, that was the example he gave of how another country was able to resolve the slavery issue without a civil war. Any speculation on whether it would have been possible to avert war by any other means is just speculation. His point was that not enough was tried, and I agree. Moral justifications for war are cheap excuses otherwise.
It's not enough to just say "vote Ron Paul". People need to SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE in most states. So REGISTER REPUBLICAN, otherwise, you CAN'T VOTE for Ron Paul in your state's primary!
If Ron Paul doesn't win enough delegates in the primaries, HE CAN'T RUN for President as a Republican! So
@Evan42881 Really I thought that was much more polite and respectable than 99% of anything that has been verbally vomited from Maher's mouth.. And in similar language for his mindless trolls to understand.. Funny how its only offensive and lacks credibility when its not coming from him..
yeah BRah why is bill maher tryning to make ron-P look like an idiot hes being an ass "But STILL AGAINST THE CIVIL WAR" I think some people are paid by the secret societies(ILLUMNATI) of today 2 make people that know what their talking about look bad
I love this guy, shove it onto peoples faces that youre in iraq for oil! Honestly people are calling this a conspiracy theory and making it look like its an honourable thing??!! And he sure shuts bill up with it too.. haha love this guy
ya he sure showed Bill...... He is another shill of pharmaceuticals and insurance lobbies. Get over this "lets legalize all drugs" BS that he has duped young Americans into.
In order for Dr.Paul to win, HE NEEDS THE PRIMARY. That's the toughest part.
IF YOU WANT TO VOTE IN PRIMARY YOU HAVE TO BE REGISTERED REPUBLICAN! If you don't switch parties in time, (3 months ahead in some states from now) YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE!!
Go to BLUEREPUBLICAN(dot)ORG and register ASAP! Copy and paste this everywhere! Thumbs up to help this be on top.
shut down......shut down...... and shut down again. Bill Maher is a smart guy and obviously had plenty of time to prepare his line of questions to discredit Ron, but he was pretty humbled which a triple dose could do him good. Im sure Bill was a little shocked. Hes not a Libertarian hes far left which is same as far right,,,,part of the same system,,,,hes the same as Rush.....same coin, ones the heads ones the tails..... Both smart but both fools.
I was agreeing with you up until you said he's the same as Rush. There's a HUGE difference between Rush Limbaugh and Bill Maher. Rush is a 'serious' pundit that spews hate speech. Bill Maher is a comedian, that questions and THEN he spews hate speech.
OK, yeah but being the sound liberal U allege, how can you overlook the fact that Dr. Paul thinks it's sound and productive policy to eventually dismantle critical social safety net programs including (but not just) medicare, medicaid and social security- perhaps I should rather say that he sees no federal government role in programs such as these. In addition, he rejects, similarly, any type of federal enforcement role for civil rights law like voting rights & desegregation
Bill Maher, there are 30,000 scientists on the other side of that argument, and the founder of the weather channel. Stop talking out of your ass. RONPAUL2012
PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.
IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !
WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy and paste this everywhere! Thumbs up!
Ya but as much as I want to like Bill Maher, he's shown himself to be a complete sell out. He insulted Ron Paul back when it was status quo for the media, and now that he's a bit of a hot topic he's eased off a bit. A real flip flopper, that Maher.
@kz888888 Dude on the liberal/democrat side of the argument where I reside in its the other way around entirely. Well, I wouldn't necessarily call Bill Maher an intellectual giant, but Christopher Hitchens is a giant compared to a moron tea bagger libertarian idiot like Ron Paul.
@Freethinker12341 You think Ron Paul's an idiot, and you're a Democrat? He wants to end the war in Afghanistan, legalize gay marriage, legalize marijuana (and all other drugs), and stop "enhanced interrogation". I don't know of many Democrats that would disagree with that. He did say that he didn't want to have a Civil War, but that's because he wished that we had handled the situation more peacefully. Is there something wrong with believing in peace? Ron Paul 2012.
@breakfastdaynight Way to avoid the fact that you probably agree with Ron Paul on several social issues and way to avoid the question that I asked. I'll ask again. Is there something wrong with believing that Americans could have settled their disputes about the Civil War peacefully rather than violently?
@Freethinker12341 Seriously though, I'm shocked that you lack respect for such an upstanding individual. He's a doctor, a husband of more than 50 years, and a veteran. Most importantly, he's the most honest politician alive. Excuse him for actually standing up for what he believes in and not catering to people like you just as the other demagogues do. Ron Paul 2012.
@breakfastdaynight I don't support demagogues, I hate them as much as anyone else. You can bore with the insignificant details of Mr. Paul's personal life and I could care less. I'm Canadian, and these policies are very unpopular here for a lot of us. The idea that a medical doctor would have the nerve, the NERVE! to support private health care, that is health care for the purpose of profit, rather than to serve for the public good is dispicable in most circles in canada.
@Freethinker12341 Well, according to the New York Times, the Canadian Supreme Court disagrees with you about the efficacy of your government's system. Additionally, the United States' health care responsiveness is number one in the world. Our system is definitely not perfect, but the answer to our problems is not a single-payer system. The fact that you have the NERVE to question an American's ability to be responsible for themselves is despicable in most circles in my country. Ron Paul 2012.
@breakfastdaynight yes i do have the nerve, trust me it's not unusual for people to hate america and everything that it stands for. The American Democratic party is more right wing than our Conservative party (the most right wing party in Canada). I was in Europe this past summer, jeez is America hated over there! The Scandinavians in particular are absolutely fed up with the USA.
@breakfastdaynight How could such a poorly educated, right wing capitalist society have so much power in the world?! How does America to this day believe that it is number 1 when there are clearly better functioning societies out there. Canada, Denmark, France, Sweden, Belgium, New Zealand. I would much rather live in any of these countries than in the United States, ugh.
STILL no basic health care for your people, one of the richest countries in the world doesnt have basic health care, STILL!
@Freethinker12341 lol You're still avoiding my other comment! Anyways, capitalism is the best economic system by far. That's the consensus among economists. Also, your country puts its citizens on health care waiting lists that are so long that they are considered a violation of human rights by your own government. I do agree that America has fell behind in education, but Ron Paul is a proponent of school choice which would help our situation greatly. With Ron Paul, America will get back on top.
@breakfastdaynight You just don't get it do you. You Americans will never get it, I hope you realize the entire European world is looking down on your country with sheer contempt and annoyance. Just keep that in mind before you jump to conclusions assuming that Ron Paul has all the answers. He's the worst thing to ever happen to your country. If he becomes president America is doomed. Just keep in mind that the more socialist countries in Europe look down on you with contempt, dont forget it!
@Freethinker12341 I really don't give a shit if Europeans want to ostentatiously spout their "revolutionary" ideals and look down at my wonderful country. You just don't get it do you. You socialists will never get it, I hope you realize that you have forgotten how wonderful true liberty is. I guarantee that Ron Paul has more answers than any fiscal leftist that has ever lived. If he becomes president, then America is saved. Why are you so involved in my country's election anyways. RON PAUL 2012
@Freethinker12341 No, I haven't. By the way you describe it, I don't think I would want to go. I'd rather not go to Greece in the middle of a riot, and I'd rather not go to England and get looted. Plus, you made every European seem like a pretentious douche bag.
@breakfastdaynight I was referring more to the Scandinavian countries, their systems are superior, along with France, The Netherlands, Belgium. But yea i why do you think countries like Greece and England and Spain are in the state that they're in right now?
@Freethinker12341 Furthermore, they're pissed because they're realizing that they can't live with the benefits they used to get anymore. By the way, Scandinavian countries are successful because they still have property rights.
@Freethinker12341 haha Do you not realize that clearly defined property rights are key to a prosperous market economy? You don't have a socialist economy if you have property rights motherfucker. You're agenda is so pathetic.
@breakfastdaynight no no, you're missing my point, i agree completely. i never said that we should switch to a socialist system entirely. if u did then you mistook me. I just said that America should MORE socialist like the Scandinavian countries. see the problem with Americans is that as soon a democrat suggests the slightest idea of free health care or socialism or raising taxes or whatever they get scared and paranoid, and they dont understand the politics of MODERATION
@breakfastdaynight they dont understand that if you move too far to the right and become too capitalistic like America you get a LOT of problems, if you move too far to the left and become too socialist (USSR) you got a LOT of problems. There's a middle ground, its ok to have a balanced economy of socialism and capitalism, they can coexist. These countries are the best countries. Despite what Americans think, America is FAR from being the best and most liveable country in the world. FAR!
@breakfastdaynight I'm not equating America with the Soviet Union or anything. I'm just saying when you move too far left or right you get problems, theres a middle ground and I wish you would just look! look at the better countries in the world.
@breakfastdaynight Why do you think so many people are protesting against the government in these European countries? The rich are not being taxed highly enough, and as a result there exists a huge wealth gap between the rich and the poor, and no middle class stabilizing it. Since the poor can't afford health care and send their kids to university at the same time they're more likely to resort to crime and thus becoming more divided, rather than unified.
@Freethinker12341 "Why do you think so many people are protesting against the government in these European countries? The rich are not being taxed highly enough." That statement is absolutely unfounded in every way. Pure socialist dogma. The people in Greece are rioting because the government IS raising taxes.
@MegaMiimii ofc im telling the truth,i am from Denmark,and i think Run is US only hope,too win back US,i croos my fingers,if US have good folks in the top, it's good for the rest of the world.I Idont care if they are red ore blue,the only things what matter,is what he is saying.Ron i hope will run USA.sorry my spelling.
@dgreer075 Yes I am a libertarian. Well I think you made a fair point. Now it comes to the question of how to deal with climate change. One of the benefits that we have in this situation is that green energy like biodiesel and electric are cheaper to the consumer. Europe has had clean diesel for a while, and America is getting there now. So I think there is a large profit motive for a company to develop green energy. Having the government involved doesn't help. Look what happened with Solyndra
I love the way he, as an educated man, has to agree that there is a problem with climate change but does the red herring sidestep with China and Volcanos. LOL. China is just now catching up to us on carbon footprint. As a republican he is forbidden to say we must regulate U.S. companies' environmental impact even though he's clearly smart enought to know it's needed. Teabaggers are pretty dumb so he should be able to maintain his diluted global warming opinion while keeping them in the dark.
@mikemk92, I believe Libertarianism must be a subtle form of autism...
They never seem to acknowledge reality. I tried to point out that there are over 1 billion people in China and less than 400 million in the U.S... I tried to point out that the U.S. consumes a lot of the products developed in China, so their emissions are still the responsibility of the U.S. Libertarians just don't want to deal with reality...
Let's get something clear here. Ron Paul believes in smaller govt. This is true. Most would agree to this (if it were feasible) He believes that govt. should NOT mandate that people get healthcare and help those who can't afford it with tax dollars. He says that friends, family and charity (churches included) could help those who are not insured. Who picks up the bill when these people come up about $300K short? The hospital? I think the word I'm looking for here is society. R Paul=Fail.
im a huge fan of bill maher, and i make it a point to watch this show because of how solid and agreeable his mentality on politics is compared to other television and radio personalities. you have to appreciate ron paul on the simple fact that he so effortlessly and systematically answered and put away all of bill's negative questions. that's not an easy or common thing to happen to bill, and you can see that he had absolutely no way to retort. props ron paul
@befon And Bill knows this too .... and the American people are starting to re awaken to this idea and re find the spirit of our once powerful industrious nation. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like this guy, I must say the Reps a re a weird party. You can have Bush on one side and this guy on the other, who's basically like "get high everybody oh and fuck the CIA"
I love how this asshole changes subject when ron paul was talking about iran in terms of how our foreign policies affected our relationship with the middleeast. And that's why this zionist cunt didn't bring up the subject of israel. The main reason he wants to demonize muslims is his unconditional love for israel. He knows that american support for israel depends on this kind of propaganda against muslims. He is to regular americans as AIPAC is to politicians in washington.
i love you RON, i Hate YOU BILL civil war: a time when a mans values and integrity meant everything...where as today even the men trying to lead our country don't have an ounce...Ron Paul 2012!!!! A man with values and integrity...like our founding fathers.
Not the best of Paul's interviews, seemed nervous or timid. Still he was solid.
He is half-wrong and half-correct with regards to the civil war. We didn't need a war to free the slaves. The war wasn't just about slavery, it was primarily about state's rights opposing federal rights, in one manifestation of that being slavery. And @yebhx is right, the south shot first.

I'd think that's clinically impossible.

@rossisaurus There's a big push to improve FAA infrastructure calling for way more traffic in the air. The old system that's in place could be much more efficient and help guide many more planes in the air. The private sector primarily IBM is bidding to take over air traffic control.

@rossisaurus
What makes you think the government is more successful in protecting their passengers and airline property than the very own airlines?.
What Ron Paul is saying, the federal government prohibits you as a passenger to resist so if flight 93 would've somehow successfully landed, the 'heroes' would be in jail.
Whereas if you have a marshal in an airplane and allowed to carry guns, you think 9/11 would've happened?.
The FAA in Canada for instance, is private, and wins awards.

"not for the Civil War" that must mean he was for slavery...that is absolutely ridiculous
housecry 1 month ago
@housecry Learn your history. Pres. Lincoln wrote that "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it." Ending slavery was about weakening the South's economic power gain from exploiting slave labor. It had nothing to do with caring about black people.
freshkoolaid 1 month ago
@freshkoolaid What the hell are you talking about? I know what Lincoln said in his inaugural address, but where is your comment coming from? Paul suggested slavery could have ended without war. Maher twice jeeringly said "not for the Civil War", implying that it was absolutely necessary for the emancipation of the slaves and therefore if you don't support the Civil War you support slavery. My comment was directed at Maher's absurd implied deduction. Geez.

There will be warming for the next million years?

I guess that shows the quality of research you did for your "project".
The fact is that the current warming trend can't be adequately explained by anything other than human activity.

GregoryKells 2 months ago
@GregoryKells
Any possibility of resolving the slavery issue without war ended when the southern states decided to secede before Lincoln even took office.
And Paul's notion of buying up all the slaves and then freeing them wouldn't have worked because the plantations relied on slavery to function. They wouldn't have been willing to sell their slaves. Plus, I'm surprised Paul even thinks it would've been constitutional for the government to do that in the first place.
RedXlV 2 months ago
@RedXlV The idea of buying the slaves and freeing them wasn't Paul's, that was the example he gave of how another country was able to resolve the slavery issue without a civil war. Any speculation on whether it would have been possible to avert war by any other means is just speculation. His point was that not enough was tried, and I agree. Moral justifications for war are cheap excuses otherwise.

@GregoryKells
Maybe it could have been tried, if the South hadn't started the war. But they did start the war.

@RedXlV
Your idea that the South declared war immediately is not factually correct.
Lincoln refused to open negotiations with the Confederate states, since he didn't recognized them as a legitimate government.
So yes, there was much more that could be done, that could have spared so much of the bloodshed.
His alienation of the confederate states, prompted another four states of the south to join the Confederacy. This also could have been easily averted.

In addition, he rejects, similarly, any type of federal enforcement role for civil rights law like voting rights & desegregation

@breakfastdaynight Why do you think so many people are protesting against the government in these European countries? The rich are not being taxed highly enough, and as a result there exists a huge wealth gap between the rich and the poor, and no middle class stabilizing it. Since the poor can't afford health care and send their kids to university at the same time they're more likely to resort to crime and thus becoming more divided, rather than unified.

He says that friends, family and charity (churches included) could help those who are not insured. Who picks up the bill when these people come up about $300K short? The hospital?
