   @StMatt007 can you guess how many groups of middle eastern ak carrying militias claimed credit for 911. do you think it was only al queda, taliban? how about every single little group? would you believe that? would you believe that the actual perpetrators of that day knew this to be fact?

   @StMatt007 There are these people who hate the United States and other western countries because we take over 3rd world countries resources’ after they cannot pay back enormous loans.Then our corporations exploit and plunder the people and resources of the countries who end up in debt for years to come. We also invade countries who have not attacked us. That is a main reason for Islamic fascists. Use logic buddy. Wouldn’t you dislike a foreign nation invading America without a provocation?

   Ron Paul is an political idiot. Isolationism will NEVER win the day or friends. Stupid is as stupid does. Sticking your head in the sand will not make radical Muslims go away. Radical Islam is against Western Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion. Like it or not America is at war with radical Islam. They bombed the World Trade Center in 1993 and they finally succeeded in their mission in 2001. Al Qeada laughs at us as people suggest that Bush did it instead of terrorist radical Muslims.

   I disagree with Ron Paul on a lot of politics I can’t describe and I will never vote for him, but at least he is honest about his politics.

   @greyflcn
   Now you’re jumping to property rights… something else the government doesn’t respect… *sigh* I don’t have the time that’s necessary to educate you about property rights, and nor do I have the time to educate you about how we didn’t have an income tax and became the most prosperous country in the world. The highest paying wages, and the best and most affordable products in the world… That’s research you’re going to have to do. Please, get started before you prematurely spout more

   @bubbadankness
   If you want to quote Jefferson, how about I quote Jefferson.

   And compare it to the “repeal the income tax” and “property rights is everything” Ron Paul.

   means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. Whenever there is, uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a commonstock for man to labour and live on. If we do not honor the fundamental right to labour the earth returns to the unemployed.

   You’re just another person who hasn’t heard half of what this man has said for over 30 years, and you spout talking points as if it’s the gospel. Get a grip, and do some REAL research. He has written many books about these ideals, but it’s obvious you don’t read and wouldn’t read any of it anyways. There are still plenty of good videos on youtube, and you won’t get everything… but you’ll get the ‘jist’ of what he’s talking about if you truly did a little research. Get started, plz

   He did say a monopoly could be good if the government wasn’t involved. He’s right! For starters, there will never be a true monopoly if the government is not involved, and if there was, it would only be because that company could provide such an excellent service at such a great price, that nobody could compete. Why would people not like that? It’s win-win for people and the company. Though, technology is always changing, and we are always finding better ways to do things…

    @greyflcn
    Well, show me some research! You spout non-sense and call it truth, lets see the truth… ’cause I’ve been following this man for years, and I know the stuff you spout is just garbage… He did realize that we should do away with entitlements, but he said himself that’s not where he saw fit to cut now. He said that he would give young people a chance to opt-out of the govt. pyramid scheme, and stop the wars overseas to fund the people who are truly dependent.

    What makes you think any of what I just mentioned doesn’t have researched citations?

    Furthermore, if you want to cite Jefferson, he’s the guy who coined the phrase “Separation of Church and State”

    i.e. The concept which Ron Paul rejects.

    @greyflcn
    lol… I’d love to explain it to you, since nobody else has… but 500 characters is not nearly enough. I would just like to suggest to you that doing your own research in to this man could help open your eyes. It’s not like he’s a prophet or anything, he’s just explaining what he has learned over the last 60 years of his life. Austrian economics, Founding Fathers beliefs (especially Jefferson), and Freedom… Reading would help, but there are many good videos out there. check my favs

    @bubbadankness
    Except those ARE the views of Ron Paul: “Slash entitlements”. “The establishment clause does not mean separation of church and state”, “Restrictions on private companies from the civil rights act is bad”, “Equal pay for women is bad and illogical”, “Monopolies are good, if the government isn’t involved”, and in trying to make it so that nearly all federal legislation has no impact on states, particularly currency and the 16th amendment superseding the 10th amendment.

    @xchainlinkx
    People are still so far out-there. I still talk to people in my family who have no idea who he is. People who claimed they watched the debates, and still have never heard of his name. Many Americans live under a rock, and many more are just plain clueless. I like the fantasy-football analogy. Many people don’t care to vote for someone that they truly believe in… they just want to vote for the winner… and we all lose.

    What are you talking about? I hope you don’t think you’re listing the beliefs of Ron Paul…

    Great ideas, but you can’t trust the cult of Ayn Rand. I mean seriously, the individual above all else and to hell with your family and neighbor? Try going to Asia and saying that, you will be laughed out of the region. That’s the problem with Objectivism, it wasn’t mean to be a philosophy but a type of “Culture War” serving an agenda just as bad as the Soviet Comitern.

    No we won’t all vote for Ron Paul.

    Constitutional Civil Liberties? Yeah that’s great.

    No results on War Spending? Nice in theory, weaksauce in practice.

    Cut spending on the old, the sick and the poor?

    Religious Laws are Constitutional?

    Eliminate Civil Rights Laws?

    Private Monopolies are Good?

    Turn each State into practically a separate country?

    Say that Trickle Down Economics, and Religion are the answer to our healthcare problems?

    Sorry. No thanks.

    @SeppLainer
    And where exactly in the world, is your school of economics practiced?

    Does it even exist? And if not, then how can you argue that you KNOW it works?

    That said, my point is simple.

    Liability Markets don’t have the same self-regulation as Luxury Goods or Commodity Goods markets.

    Since the raw profit motive in Liabilities Markets is to never honor payment. And the only way to force payment, is Lawsuits. Which are heavily flawed when it’s a large company versus an individual.

    Of what assbackwards school of economic thought do you belong? Government involvement and central planning have never worked as planned.

    @Zalahblue
    Because it has laws?

    Christianity has laws. Laws which supposedly jesus said
    “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law”

    And I’m sure you know that everything in the Old Testament is about identical to Islam.

    Right down to the headscarves.

    @greyflcn BTW! Islam is not a religion
