Ron Paul: Blame the Government! (chomsky, mcveigh, et al)

LOOK ALEX JONES SHEEPLE I am not implying Ron Paul is a terrorist or is for it or anything like that....just throwing something out there about the irrational nature of libertarianism and the nature of some of it's extreme elements...

Ron Paul is a decent guy but his schtick of blaming the government for all of our society's woes is frightening. I lived in Oklahoma City in 1995 and worked downtown when the murrah bombing occured. Timothy McVeigh was radically anti-government (as perhaps were his co-conspirators) and the irrational hatred that is being brewed up by Ron paul, and the world he wants to create is scary....perhaps moreso than the world the rest of the hoodlums running want to create....

Ron Paul is contradictory. While he does criticize problems with corporate control of things, he also constantly lauds private interests and giving them more power. We have a WELL-proven track record of how reckless and criminal many corporations can be. I don't see how he thinks giving them even more power and control is going to help anything.

A big corporation would install body scanners just as readily as government if they could profit, don't get kidded folks

@unfortunatebeam Good comment beam!

Why did the government massacre the brach davidians in Texas? They could have just arrested Koresh when he was in town. This was what set off Timothy McVeigh from what I have heard.

[o0xst]

@giovanhagar That, and his tour in Iraq and the meth he was doing and a few other things....

ron paul blames the government because that is where the blame belongs

[o0xst]

@ManInTheBox0784 The point is that it is not this simple. Big Business controls the Gov't, thus...

@unfortunatebeam Government and corporations are both inanimate objects. Neither one is capable of any evil or good until we populate them with people. One has ultimate power, and responsibility for regulating the other. Which one is at fault if corruption occurs? DUH. GO BACK TO SLEEP, YOU ARE THE SHEEPLE, NOT LIBERTARIANS. I'm libertarian, not an Alex Jones freak. But conspiracies happen, and synergies happen even more often.

This "corporatism" as Paul calls it, is why we need Ron Paul, the only politician we can trust. Couple terms with him and Rand, all the corrupt politicians would be hanging their heads in shame.

@ManInTheBox0784 Ron Paul is extreme and stuff but I'm happy that he blames the government for not allowing people to do what they want as long as they are not hurting anybody/anything....

@unfortunatebeam No they wouldn't and I'll explain why if you are willing to have this debate.

[Josepherism]

@unfortunatebeam His point is that private corporations can't force anyone to do something, government can. It's an option vs. no option issue. It's about letting corporations handle what they are supposed to rather than letting government control everything. Guess you don't have the capacity to understand that simple principle behind what the republic of america is supposed to function like.

@o0xst I think we should define what we all mean by govn't. It's the federal reserve that rules everyone and everything, followed by lobbyists, so if the gov't wasn't involved in the subsidies business or providing special privileges then we wouldn't have half of the problem we have today. and that's exactly what Paul is talking about. There is a role for the gov't but not the one it has today.

[EgadsNo]

@unfortunatebeam Meh when you put the government in control of something when something goes wrong, nobody is accountable, forced over all there is no chance of the market exuding effect on it. That is really not contradictory. If you hear turtle skies has a 3 hour boarding delay and jet azure has a flawless biometric database that allows people to board with no delay- you will see the market place dictate what is appropriate. Safety and speed is a selling point- believe they will utilize it.
