RGV Ron Paul Meetup Group: Jared Taylor confrontation

On Monday January 28th, 2008, the RGV Ron Paul Meetup Group had its weekly meeting at Euro Gelato located in McAllen, TX. Jared Taylor, local writer of The Monitor newspaper, unexpectedly showed up and was confronted about his January 24, 2008 article covering the current group's sign waving event held before The Monitor building on Wednesday, January 23, 2008.

Here is the link to the whittled down version of the article:

But for the complete, unedited and rather inflammatory piece (which has under it quite a few complaints in the form of comments related to the present YouTube video) go here:

You fellows aren't doing libertarianism any favors. You can't create your own website or blog to clarify your views? It's less work than accosting some poor schlub trying to enjoy a latte.

They don't need them constantly, but regularly.

Alcohol IS a dangerous drug, and if it were up to me, it would be illegal. I concede, however, that that cat is out of the bag and it will not be contained again, if it ever was.

Psychoactive drugs are not used as widely as alcohol, and their greater addictiveness and health risks are enough to merit their current legal status. That's why I think its worth fighting this war on drugs, although it should be fought smarter.

The reason they don't quite compare is because my addiction to empanadas is not a danger to others. It doesn't cause strife within my family. It doesn't make me steal from my family in order to scrape the money to go buy some. I don't go and pawn my blender for it, or my mom's fine china. I don't go into bits of rage if I don't get my fix. And, it is nearly impossible to die of a pan dulce overdose, I'm sure.

drug dealers are scum. they rely on the addictive nature of drugs to create a steady income for themselves. if drugs weren't so addictive, most people wouldn't go through the trouble and take the risk of buying them.

addicts are called that because they cannot choose to quit. i don't know if you've ever seen an addict ask for money because they need a fix, but its a sorry sight. they will go beyond their morals to get the money for it. they will steal, lie, cheat and even sell themselves for it

[juarezrt]

well good for them. but the truth is that those same types of drugs are dangerously addictive to a much higher degree than just about any other food or medicine or substance you can name. you can't say its ok to use it because it doesn't hurt everyone. it hurts so many that it should stay illegal.
