The Birchers are an interesting variety of right winger--they preach about limited government but were ready to go to nuclear war with the Soviets--that sounds pretty "unlimited" to me. Unlike real libertarians they do not grasp the contradiction, if you will excuse a Commie-term, between a republic and an empire and will never admit the USA took the route of empire at least since the Spanish American War.

Indeed, there may very well be merit to what you are stating. I have recommended that the upper management of JBS read anything and everything by Antony Sutton. The last speech JBS CEO Art Thompson puts the vast majority of blame for Islamic Terrorism on the Russians... but he failed to mention that the Russians/Soviet Union are entirely product of western technology and investment, as have been, and are, most enemies of the west today (sadly).

(continued) currently Americans still insist on believing all these rich elitist over educated, yale and harvard grads have their best interest at heart. Americans keep saying they don't understand but then they support the child of an elitist. Romney. Of course he is out of touch. he never pushed carts at walmart, worked manual labor. He makes 50k a day for doing nothing. Obama is just as bad, he also came out of the big colleges, I believe harvard. Another "over educated" elitist.

I support politicians like Ron Paul so the government has less control of peoples lives. Also at the end of the day we have to support someone. Someone like Ron, a politician. We just have to look for the good ones. Yes I wished I had more of a voice. We are limited by what we can do currently. Until things get worse and Americans are willing to accept a Hitler, Stalin or Saddam Hussein style politician. I don't mean a dictator, but a politician who came up from the streets. Not some elitist.

ok you're right, I didn't know what JBS was when I said that, but when a politician does this sign \,,/ I can no longer trust them. It's not like it was a joke or anything. Ron Paul throws up illuminati hand signs all the time. Also, he is a politician. We do not need politicians to speak for us. Watching a politician on a television really makes you feel like you're in this race? Wouldn't you like to actually have a voice in the matter? You can't if you put a politician before yourself.

[thewulfone]

There is nothing wrong with the john birch society. Also Ron Paul is not fucking anyone. If he was part of the status qou he would have won. Also I do support alternative parties and candidates. Like Ron Paul, the libertarian party, Gary Johnson, and I would even vote for an independent if I liked what was being said, if I agreed. I am 27. I believe the two party system has to be gotten rid of.

[MagicalSix66]

stupid, too. I'm probably younger than you and that's what's so sad about this. Too bad there's no group of young people who actually realize we need to vote for the independent party and start being.................INDEPEND­ENT, not dependent on government. Being dependent on government gives them the power to poison you, which they've proven they will do 10 times out of 10...so why put your life in their hands? Because you're all worthless fucking slaves, that's why. Harsh realization?

[Dubwise78]

Pauls belief in private business and the markets as the be all and end all is touching. He doesn't understand that government has to run some services that require long term investment, or to avoid monopolies, or to minimise externalities. Would a private post office or railway deliver/travel to remote villages?

[thewulfone]

Tell the truth Paul, yes we are idealistic, but we are young and have more fight in us then old people. We are mad as hell.

Actually being a doctor won't be so lucrative anymore, Obama care will kill the business, even if that doesn't get passed they are bringing in poorly trained doctors from overseasso they can pay less, Health care is to expensive and most Americans can't afford it and with the coming austerity doctors won't even be able to make money off the goverment because medicare and medicaid will be cut down or taken away completely.
