@sharkattacksteve anyone can oversimplify anything to make it sound ridiculous, i.e. music is just a bunch of people beating on drums and blowing hunks of metal. the constitution was written before westward expansion when the indians were nearly wiped out so you cant say its writers tried to wipe out the indians. also the constitution, unlike any religious text, was written specifically to limit the power of government, NOT as a personal way to lead your life. but i do understand your viewpoint.

Who really gives a FUCK what a bunch of guys in wigs with no electricity who owned slaves and who tried to wipe out the Indians wrote or said or thought ?
Constitutionalists are no different than religious fundamentalists ala the taliban or the westboro wackos.

The Constitution is an obsolete, outmoded, anachronistic document.
Soak it in heroin and I'll suck on it.

@sharkattacksteve The revolutionary war ignited by a corrupt banking system imposed on the colonies by a central bank in England, which collapsed the colonial economy instantly (Franklin & Jefferson's words)....sound familiar?? 1oz of gold, roughly the size of a quarter, is worth over $1600 right now. Would you need a bag to carry your wealth, probably not! Gold standard is the amount of bills throughout the nation, equal to the amount of gold in a government reserve! True money with no debt!

President Paul!

@AFRIKTODAY LOL it's not my fault you don't understand that I'm asking what are we going to use for currency once Paul and the strict Constitutionalists have banned paper paper money which they have stated as their intent ...moron.

@sharkattacksteve Look, it is not my fault if you are a pathetic ignorant who tries to debate things he does not understand at all. What do you know about monetary theory? Nothing of course! So please shut the fuck up and read a few books on these topics before trying to denounce Ron Pauls supporters. Unlike you, they have done their homework and they can detail a few reasons why gas price has spiked from $1.5 5 years ago, to almost $4 now! It is all about the value of the money! So, read a book

@sharkattacksteve You are an idiot indeed! The constitution clearly states that only gold and silver may be used as money and the sole role of the government is to regulate its value ( maintain its value). The state shall not issue bills of credit ( paper money)! Until 1931, the US was under a gold standard and the " paper dollar" was merely a receipt for the Gold itself. With the creation of a central bank in 1913, the government debased the currency leading to our current economic woes.

@AFRIKTODAY I wasn't asking for a lecture on economics douchebag, Paul and the constitutionalists claim that paper money is unconstitutional so what are they planning on using ? Sea shells ?
LoL what a pretentious self important jack-ass you are.

@sharkattacksteve Thus enabling consumers and producers to engage in sound economic calculation. Therefore, what is really important for a stable monetary system is for society to maintain the purchasing power of the money. Goods and service can fluctuate with the technological development, but money on itself need to be increased as much. Unlike our current manipulated monetary system, people would be able to save and invest for their future without being worried about currency depreciation!
Thank you Jan! Orally needs some schooling. Ron Paul Rocks! If you haven't registered Republican yet so you can vote for him, please do so soon!
