Ron Paul doesn't believe 9/11 was a conspiracy he believes there were serious failures on that day to protect America and that's true as the threat was reviewed by the white house and NORAD was even on stand down that day.

Read up, more. Dr. Paul didn't call conspiracy. And he wants to trade and build relationships internationally. His foreign policy is measured on his principle of what he would not like other nations to do to Americans. Where do you get your information? Study, please. Paul is certainly not nuts, unless something has got a hold of you to say that war is better than peace and worse is better than caring to stand against the throws.

Ron Paul 2012!

Ron Paul is exactly what this country needs to unveil the curtains of deceit our current government so eagerly holds over our eyes. The man comes off as the most honest candidate and rises above the rest. With so much negativity thrown his way he continues to pursue the race like a HONEY BADGER and that is commendable. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" {Edmund Burke}. Spread RON PAUL Like A WILD FIRE

Thomas Sowell was a communist during this period as well. He was disillusioned when he worked in the government department dealing with the minimum wage laws. He was trying to figure out if minimum wage laws were helping or hurting the black community, but found that the department only wanted the money and power it could extract from having this control over businesses.

Like Sowell, MLK would have seen the evil created by "good intentions", along with the Unions become mafias overnight.

Not really. MLK would have moved more towards the libertarian positions as he saw government put blacks in a new form of slavery known as dependence. Ron Paul has always been for equality and treating people as individuals with equal rights, freedoms, and liberties. The only part of the civil rights bill he disagreed with was the part about property rights. He felt that boycott and social pressure could fix it without giving the government rights over citizens property and possessions.

Ending wars, ending secret central bank control over the economic landscape, ending cronyism, ending repressive attacks on civil liberties (patriot act, NDAA, SOPA, etc), ending government secrecy, ending nanny state and ruining people's lives, careers, and anal virginity by putting them in prison for "Crimes against themselves" (prohibition and other laws), etc. These are things that all real Americans of any political ideology can agree on.

That being said, extreme progressive Dennis Kucinich are best of friends and typically vote together alone. You can be for the people and have different ideals or plans for getting there. The fact is, only about 1% are for the people, so alliances across the political spectrum are required. The rest, in Goldmann Sach's pocket.

Via DRAMATICALLY different means. They are POLAR opposites, dude. MLK was a democratic socialist for fuck's sake.

Ron Paul gets support and positive feedback from many liberals and progressives. Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Howard Stern, Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, etc.

People who are truly trying to do the right thing for the country, regardless of ideology, are typically friends.

MLK and Ron Paul would be good friends because they are the few trying to end the racism in the judicial system, end the war on drugs,end the wars, pushing for civil liberties, equality, and individualism.
