It was hard to pay attention after Kristine and Alyona started making out in my head.

It's because there are fake Ron Paul supporters on the internet who troll around making obnoxious comments and generally stir up trouble in his name. Yes, Dr. Paul is really hated THAT much by the GOP establishment.

The ad makes no sense from a true RP supporters' standpoint. It's got zero substance, and was purposely made in poor taste. Focusing an attack on the guy with the LOWEST poll numbers?? Especially when his foreign policy is closer to Paul's than the other candidates-- gimme a break!

You're welcome.

Who cares? As long as the political ad doesn't say that Ron Paul approved it, then it becomes the personal view of the video uploader. It's still free speech.

I agree just as much that slavery should never be mentioned as a good thing. But after getting out of high school a few years ago, let me tell you, they taught me that the founding fathers were bad people because they had slaves. And a lot of kids believed it. Some of those textbooks are quite harsh on the founding fathers...

Leave me alone, you don't have a knowledge base for this here.

@laztek1 Everyone human being has a great capacity but may be limited in some aspect like access to education, personal addiction, motivation to progress. Has black history month taught you anything? If you see your city as a hindrance to your life, don't make yourself a victim. Work to overcome those obstacles.

The big PLANTATION still has it's slaves. It is just a matter of semantics. Young people work like crazy trying to get ahead only to have the slave masters at the city, county, state and federal levels take away what they rightfully earned. Slavery on the old plantations were not that much different. The common people worked for almost nothing just like today. The rich people owned nearly everything, just like today. The common people (slaves) had no power or justice, just like today.
