The bigger irony of the night was Gingrich whining about the slip into tyranny -- which I agree with. But that's coming from the guy who claimed that extrajudicial assassinations are due process!

Right to trial: no = rule of law.

Tangential issue: yes = threat to our very freedoms.

What a buff...

As to Gingrich executing people without due process: don't you remember his claim that was due process, two lawyer opinions at justice? He was found guilty without trial, no judge or jury, but guilty nonetheless. The danger here is not that he would ignore the rule of law, but that he would ca...

@Reyson01

Watch the delegate count (what percent has been garnered thus far?) and stop listening to what giant media corporations want you to think. You just might learn to think for yourself.

I asked him a question too, but he wouldn't dare answer it either:

Mr. President, you recently signed the NDAA, but in your signing statement claimed you thought it violated our founding principles. If you're convinced that power is wrong and immoral, why didn't you veto the bill and even push f...

@golguin

Except with Obama being worse on civil liberties than Bush was, this is patently false. If it's Newt, Mitt or Rick, then you might be right. But not if Paul gets the nod.

@DavidCaines100

Article 3, Section 3:

"No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

The ability to convict someone of treason is a power given to the judicial branch. To say the Constitution grants no...

@calibur12001

Yeah, real corrupt. What planet do you live on?

I'd also recommend a legal approach: make abortion illegal after the fetus could survive outside the womb. Up until that point, it is dependent on the mother, and the mother must consciously decide to support it by keeping herself healthy. But as soon as it can survive outside the womb, it has ...

What rubbish:

If Paul leads Romney by 15 pts among Independents and Democrats, how is it that increased turnout by that group plays to Romney's favor?

#politicalhack

Why even bother showing the logo at the end? No one knows anything about Huntsman at the end of this ad, other than he has no ideas himself and thinks the man with the most consistent conservative voting record in Congress can't be trusted.

Paul was responsible for their content because they we...

@daguzify

Are you aware that he has called for a "transition," meaning that they will not abolish social programs immediately? Instead, he will cut foreign expenditures and warmongering abroad, in order to temporarily fund the programs you want to see maintained. People under 25 will have the ...

@fresnoman4man

Indeed it does, but it could never reside there permanently, so one comes to a State of some size and scope in any case. Why abolish what one will surely require again? I don't consider the American system (i.e. The Constitution) broken; I consider it ignored in practice.

The Co...

@macgeek2004 Take a deep breath, and look at the numbers instead of simply assuming that these cabinet level positions make up the very fabric of our society and that their breakup would be a disaster.

Take the Dept. of Ed. Started only 30 yrs ago, costs in education have skyrocketed, no progre...

@LiberalJerseyman

Does that make you an enemy of the Constitution, just because the men who wrote it were imperfect? Of the Bill of Rights? Of the Federalist system and Separation of Powers? Of a limited Federal Gov't?

Ron Paul doesn't believe in deviating from their interpretation of prude...

Notice the last comment about housing prices, and compare it with Paul's comments regarding the necessity of liquidating debt. To talk a candidate down, claiming he has no chance -- the implicit hope being that by repetition most people's first impression will be a bad one -- and then to mimic h...

Krauthammer and the crew are missing the largest abuse of all: self-written warrants. No judicial review. No probable cause. No constitutional protections.

And where'd they find the "libertarian" so unversed in the 4th Ammendment?

@ 45:24: "We needed more money than we had gold.

Wrong: we weren't willing any longer to honor the artificial gold price of $35/oz because we had too much debt. The verb "need" here is therefore a little off, and only fitting if one subscribes to the political beliefs of LBJ/Nixon. The gov't w...

Hey Bernie, why do you need a program with federal employees actually taking money from the people when you could axe the entire income tax and still be at 2000 spending levels? Tell me the poor couldn't make it if they didn't pay taxes!

@roquefortfiles

which provides less resistance: glass or reinforced corner columns?

I've listened to Mr. Rickards on several occasions and am always impressed by his sobriety and meticulousness. But I wonder: @ the 10:00 min mark it almost sounds as if Plan B (gold) is more like our Plan A behind the scenes. If we know that we can simply switch to gold in case the printing pre...

it's perfectly insane if you wish any semblance of a legal state. the president doesn't have the right to tyranny and oppression. that kind of president is a simple thug and murderer. Any president willing to kill his own citizens without trial is a tyrant. period.

This is an embarrassment t...
