He begins: "My goals in 1976 were the same as they are today: to promote peace and prosperity by a strict adherence to the principles of individual liberty" and goes on..."economic ignorance is common place, as the failed policies of Keynesianism are continually promoted"... "psychopathic totalitarians endorse government initiatives to change our world" - live webcast

MWG 'The Thinker' checks in with a movie (pop culture) quote?
Ron Paul should never have been allowed to run as a presidential candidate. His extreme views on economics and foreign policy made a mockery of the presidential race. His embarrassing senile interjections during the debates were cringe worthy and detracted from the serious nature of the topics that were discussed. His clownish presence in the presidential race and in American politics has left a stain on our democratic process and has undermined our sense of national pride. Mr has legitimized a group of extreme right-wingers and conspiracy theorists that should never have received any media attention. Insane ideas like abolishing the Federal Reserve Bank or ending the war on terror have now become mainstreamed, emboldening ignorant libertarians youths to disrupt the political discourse of this country with radical and alarming ideas that threaten core American values. I hope for the sake of decency and morality that Ron Paul retires from political discourse for good so that he can no longer undermine the professionalism and integrity of our political process.
MDB, I guess you weren't watching TPTB-media, Ron Paul did not run for president. Instead we were allowed the very significant choice between more of the same and more of the same. Americans considered this issue deeply and decided on more of the same.
See the linked graphs for an explanation.
http://howstupidare.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-stupid-are-americans.html
Ron Paul should have been the GOP presidential candidate. His common sense views on economics and foreign policy make a mockery of the power brokers in DC. His interjections during the debates were spot-on. His presence in the presidential race and in American politics has left a lasting impression on our flawed democratic process and has been (hopefully) gotten the attention of the uninformed masses. Mr. Paul has fired up the libertarians who understand the real need for change in this country. Unfortunately he garners little media attention because the 99% uninformed who are glued to their massive flat screen TV's are fed a constant barrage of idiotic programming that is rapidly sapping any semblance of intelligence in the masses who are glued to electronic screens. Non-mainstream ideas like abolishing the Federal Reserve Bank or ending the war on terror have now become commom-place in the libertarian youth movement which will hopefully disrupt the political discourse of this country and get the 99% uninformed off their couches and away from their bags of fast food long enough to actually do something constructive to save what we have before the ruling classes own everything. I hope for the sake of decency and morality that Ron Paul inflames the need for political discourse in the youth in this country so that real change can begin befor its too late.
What he reallly meant to say..........
How emblematic that, at the exact same time as this, Obama's was having his first press conference of his new term.
The sun is setting. Sad day.
One of our Atlases has shrugged today.
Ron Paul
One good man against a tsunami of evil Politician-Bankers
The American people didn't have the intelligence to listen to him, they were watching the Kardashians or some...
he should have taken his tim talking, too rushed.
bobola.. +1
how can anyone listen to Ron Paul next to the other candidates and not immediately share his libertarian passion and frustration with the status quo.
"Insane ideas like abolishing the Federal Reserve Bank or ending the war on terror have now become mainstreamed" I assume this is sarcastic?
You've been on ZH for more than three years? Amazing perception you have.
Hi Mr Rove, you still your daddies biatch?
MDB for President
</sarc>
Fixed it for you
no, you fixed it for you.
Insane ideas like creating a Federal Reserve Bank or starting wars everywhere have now become mainstreamed, emboldening ignorant generations to disrupt the political discourse of this country with radical and alarming ideas that threaten the core American values of individual Liberty and peaceful commerce with all nations.
MDB, maybe I am one of the few that really appreciates your very dry sense of humour!
don't think you own "decency and morality" over Ron Paul... Your cause is to destroy liberty and hiding behind those two as your position is PRICELESS...
I imagine MDB just giggles like a little school girl in nothing but his underpants while he types these clearly humorous diatribes.
tehe tehe tehehehehehehe professionalism and integrity of our political process tehehehehehee!
But, but MDB, you say this like it's a bad thing?!
Green arrowed you too btw, always good for the laughs.
i'll gladly pay to see MDB account get hacked and then shut down
Chumbawamba, don't blame Ron for what was Karl Rove's masterpiece.
Karl Rove is a failure in every language. Let the world know.
Did Karl Rove ever lose a presidential election?
I didn't think so ...

Oh mon ami, tu es stupide. Quelle surprise. Il a Karl Roved l'élection.
WHICH U.S. presidential election again?
(You don't mean to say that Rove ran this last election, DO YOU?)

Yawn.
The 'Birchers' (not birthers) were WAY ahead of you on this.
You're just another example of the latest in a line of un-educated (or minimally educated), self-styled conspiracy theorists looking for attention and fame ...
There used to be a name for that ... oh yeah: 'attention whore'. It seems to have fallen out of use lately though ... probably not PC enough.
I've tried arguing with some local ICLEI types. You can't. They're nuts.
Why is it so difficult for sleepers to grasp that environmentalism is merely another vehicle for manipulation? That "Global Warming" is just another False Flag?
They use psychological mind control on people to get what they want. Carefully chosen words and phrases are used to get you to do things that brings harm to you.
It’s a form of psychological manipulation, hidden meanings and hidden agendas contained within simple words and phrases. Many UN program agendas are labeled with comforting sounding names to get us to do what they want, especially when it’s not really good for us. In Agenda 21, the words “Climate Change”, "Sustainable Development", and "Smart Growth" are mind tricks.
The words “Climate Change”, are simply a Dialectic Mind Freek Magic Trick Word Game they’re Playing on us.

So hard to keep all the ZH trolls straight.
If you don't believe in conspiracies you've never been on the committee of a local commmunity organisation.
grandma caught me watching the RP video in her basement.
she asked why anyone would listen to an old skinny white man who isn't even a very good speaker and who sounds like he's whining and has trouble getting to his main point and who who says "clift" instead of "cliff" and who hasn't accomplished much in 35 years and who is against almost every bill and who is a closet rosicrucian or freemason agent of european bankers.
then she asked me how come I couldn't get a job.
but bless her heart -- if it weren't for ss and medicare, she'd be living in *my* basement listening to RP.
with the volume way up
Dear Trolls, like Ident7777economy, thank you for tickling my macabre sense of humour!
Failure to understand that most of history has been due to conspiracies of frauds backed by force is a clear sign of having a weak mind. The whole of human history has been a grand conspiracy of lies, backed by violence. I tend to regard that the same ways as I do arguing about evolution based on "intelligent design." One does not need any master designer to see that that energy always goes down the local paths of least resistance, which is that fraud and robbery are the easiest way to make money, and accumulate wealth, especially the bigger a scale that is done on. No other gang of criminals does that better than the biggest gangsters, the banksters! It is plainly obvious that those who gained the power to control the money supply were then able to buy up control over the mass media, in order to make sure that their puppet politicians would continue to be their puppets. It IS all one integrated system, although there never had to be any one Supreme Puppet Master, there is no doubt that there were level after level of puppet masters, pulling the strings that went through and through the social system.
It amuses me to attempt to wonder what an idiotic troll like Ident7777economy actually thinks!
It does NOT matter who they are, or what labels one gives them, the obvious social facts are that there is a tiny minority of the population who get to legally counterfeit money, while the overwhelming vast majority are not allowed to do that! It is relatively easy to study the history of how that situation gradually developed. It is plainly obvious that there was wave after wave of developments, all based on energy going down its local paths of least resistance, where being dishonest and violent worked well, then and there. That has always been the driving imperative of militarism, since it did not matter how much better your longer term view MIGHT have been, if you ended up being murdered first.
Every single aspect of our social system is an expression of that. Since science and technology did things like understand atomic energy, and crack the DNA code, etc., all of those trends have been astronomically amplified. Therefore, in every possible way, there has been runaway triumph of lies, backed by violence, taking control of everything. In the USA, the most clear paradoxical turning point, due to the reality of atomic bombs going BOOM, was the 1947 National Security laws, which enabled every other possible conspiracy to have a much freer hand to advance itself, under the cloak of "national security."
Indeed, it is hard to imagine any other concept that has become more manifestly psychotic than "national security!" For those whose minds are strong enough, it is clear that that was a master stroke of the master puppeteers, in creating their platform from which they could secretly pull strings more effectively. In that context, it amuses me to read the posts of Ident7777economy repeat his favourite phrase that conspiracy theories are the sign of a weak mind, since the truth is that failure to face the fact that conspiracies were quite real, and so, almost totally in control of the world, is the surest sign of a weak mind, that refuses to face the actual social facts. Therefore, it amuses me to ponder the possibilities regarding what is actually behind the magnificent obtuseness and stupendous stupidity represented by the comments of Ident7777economy, et alia ...
In American history, the phrase "conspiracy theory" became popularized by the mass media, as directed by government agencies, to respond to theories about the assassination of President Kennedy. The amusing FACT is that those government documents have since be declassified. Therefore, we can NOW KNOW that the way that Ident7777economy responds was originally a deliberately designed strategy of the psychotic national security system, to cover itself. Therefore, again, it amuses me to speculate about whether Ident7777economy is a "useful idiot" or a paid troll ... I will give that commenting entity the benefit of the doubt, and presume it is a paid troll, rather than such a total idiot, although that is merely my guess ...
As my later stand alone post about the Ron Paul story discussed, quite a bit further down in this list of comments, these questions of "conspiracy theories," and how to respond to them, was one of the most paradoxical problems that Ron Paul faced during his long political career!
Given that those who specialize in being dishonest, can and will back their lies up with violence, when they believe it is necessary to do that ... advancing more truth about any real conspiracy tends to get people killed, if those people get too good at that. ... It is only because I think that that the collective social insanity, of too much success, from too much criminal conspiracy, for too long, has already destroyed the future too much, that I no longer care about how dangerous those evils are, but rather have developed a macabre sense to humour to laugh at those evils. Which is why somebody like Ident7777economy amuses me with such ludicrous posts, as to deny that the mass media are owned by a handful of corporations, whose control is interlocked with all of the other megacorporations. Those are social facts, which have been proven beyond reasonablel doubt! Furthermore, it is possible to do simple research about which particular people have been their Chief Executive Officers, and to easily demonstrate the pattern of what kinds of people they tended to be. However, like I said, it is not who they are that matters, but rather, what they do. As always, my recommendations are that we ALL should do what they do BETTER!
.
DO IT. right now, right here, in your OUT LOUD voice.
/popcorn.
I7E,
I actually thought up that quote myself last night. I just gave credit to Dr. Evil, a fictitious character, because the shoe fits better on him.
Google had the Thinker as their homepage yesterday! I cannot believe that Ron Paul will sit back once leaving office. Sometimes more can be achieved once outside the sesspool.
Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because most people do not want to admit they do not have the courage to do anything about it. Most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker, but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.
you, sir will be missed
Dear Romney-Troll-Goldman-muppets who keep bitching because Romney-the-goldman-puppet lost to Obama-the-goldman-puppet. "Because the selfish libertarians and non-voters stole poor Mitten's victory." For you.
I don't think the word "stole" is the proper word to use. I would say it was more of a Hatchet Job.

I got to see him in person this summer in a small venue. What a great man.
Today is a sad day for me.
his work carries on. he has thousands of disciples all over the country and world. have faith. that number will spread to millions
Hope you are right, his speech was awesome...
"disciples" "faith"
*nods*
Ron through the election ???? Here we go.........Talk about a tin foil hat....
You want the homonym: threw.
Yea, what he said i need the Homo nym. Threw.....Good lookin out ....Thanks Crockett
Wow, if you think RP "threw" an election...
Well, you're far dumber than you've been acting all this time.
Which, given your idiotic "signature" line, is really saying something.
Oh please. Ron Paul supporters would have never voted for Romney regardless. I sure as fuck didn't.
RP write in. Judge Nap for VP
same here on both counts
Fox News showed its true colors when they terminated Judge Napolitano's show. It was the ONLY thing worth watching on that fucked up channel.
Yep. It was the only reason I "used to" watch TV.
Rupert Murdoch and George Soros both members of the CFR, only difference Soros has all the other channels(NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBs, NPR, CNN look at member list to find favorite "jounalist" there or Center for American Progress) and most Indies(Huffpo, Media Matters, MoveOn etc), Rupert has News Corp. Two different franchises of the same thing.
threw what election you dumb shit? there was no election. there was cancer blue party vs cancer red party. RP was at least a kind of salve for national metastasis.
And both cancer blue and cancer red had incentives to make sure Ron Paul didn't win the primary. David Axelrod will go to great lengths to ensure a win for his team and to keep himself in power behind the curtain.
precisely. that's the nature of mailignant diseases and individuals: they will kill host(s) in order to grow and ultimately die themselves. there is no symbiosis in these arrangements, just big growth, big government, big pathology.
Ron's biggest weakness has been entrusting others to manage his affairs with the same level of integrity and hard work that he has, i.e. not having total control of the newsletters and in specific reference to your comment, Jesse Benton. Son-in-law incompetent asshole who was the real villain and threw the election for Ron by not going after vote fraud, caucus corruption, Romney getting GOP funds without being the official nominee etc.
It has also been brought to light that there were possibly threats against his family, like, "your grand daughter shouldn't ever get in a moving vehicle of any kind ever again if she wants to live."
Abiotic Oil:
" Ron's biggest weakness has been entrusting others to manage his affairs ... "
WOW!
Clear failure in LEADERSHIP at the top and against who?
The Stupid PArty!
Yes, Ron Paul lost in the primary to The Stupid Party!
Not against Axelrod and his Chicago Machine, but to Repubs!!!!!!
He would have been mince meat in the general in the fall ...
Ron Paul was the last best chance.
Now the country is truly screwed.
Chumba, you are an idiot Sir.
You still think you have a choice? LMFAO! Sure, let me guess, you probably think that there is market for true price discovery as well.
Naw. Too many llooneytunes sporting the Republican Lable.
Public is getting serious.
Fuck you
I gatta agree... he did throw the election. But who knows, maybe he was threatened?
Do you blame him? He probably heard that John Kerry was going to be Secretary of Defense and said, "the hell with it. So long, suckers!".
Shining example of how our "two party" system operates - ignore those who stray from the status quo and try to make them look nuts those few times you don't ignore them.
Sorry, but, it did not take much to make Ron Paul look 'nuts' (your word, not mine.)
To the brainwashed, Honey Boo watching couch potatoes the idea of a smaller government that isn't 16 trillion dollars in debt nor has 220 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities probably is nuts.
If Paul's appeal was so universal, then, well, his appeal should been - what? "Universial."
CLEARLY, it wasn't (His appeal was NOT universal). He appealed to a fringe group ... that's it! Simply stated ...
Funny how the most idiotic, button-pushing trolls here seem to like having "7777" in their handle.
Trav's red headed step child?
No, the microcephalic one.
" ... if I only had a brain ..."
Thank you for agreeing with me, since you did not disagree, you must agree, since you acquiesced to my prime argument:
CLEARLY, his appeal was NOT universal. He appealed to a fringe group ... that's it! Simply stated ...
Why don't you offer someting of substance? Maybe present an argument against one of Ron Paul's ideas you disagree with. Or explain what you think should be America's economic plan going into the future.
All you have presented so far is mindless tripe.
Trav wasn't so bad.
Yeah, the avant garde. Takes time for those ideas to filter down.
killing yourself over obummer win? wrong way to go out!

You gave us hope Mr. Paul. Thank you for your service.
Good ridda -er- luck Ron Paul ..
We're well aware of your opinion. And of your electoral track record. Still whining about the Romney landslide that only an idiot would doubt?
Last man standing in what could go down in history as the last fair and free election in the United States of America before succumbing to ... guess what : not quite dictatorship yet, even though
law and order folks already got more than they had wished for, socialist of all colors are left to eat each other , call it care or be further seduced by some cannibal`s smile.
I hate to be thats cynical, having called this election result correctly.
Good riddance democracy, the last knight to give you credibilty just left the scene.
Old libertarians never die...
...good luck Mr Paul. Spend it while it's worth something
...and then there were none...turn out the lights....the last honest man has left the building.
Try Massie, Bentivolio and Amash.

Take a good look America, this was your last hope.
which sucks, because in 4 years people will be begging him... and after 8 years of Bush and 8 year of Obama he would have had a much better shot. I guess there's always Gary...
Nothing's over until we decide it is. Certain events could transpire, in which the chief actor would be GRAND JURIES. The current regime, clearly guilty of fraud of biblical proportions, could be removed and Dr. Paul inserted as interim POTUS. See Red Beckman on youtube. Do it now.
Would this be the same "we" who are rendered insolvent due to the destructive nature of 3rd party debt in their names, which is the base of modern finance (which funds the criminal cartels)?
Good luck with that. You're gonna need it.
Who is insolvent? Are you? If so, you have made poor financial decisions. If you are talking about the national debt we agree with Dr. Paul that it should be forgiven, ignored, defaulted upon, whatever you want to call it because it is fraudulent fantasy numbers. Are you American? The "we" we are talking about is "We The People....."
And how much does each American owe toward the national debt not to mention the unfunded liabilities in the entitlement system? The oligarchs went to a big DC party and all I got was this lousy bill.
Crock, we love you but you need to read our comment again.
Will a handshake and a cold one do in lieu of a hug?
You had us at shake.
My error, I think, speaks to the damage that trolls (and Ident 7777 is a true troll as opposed to LTER, shall we say) can do in a forum. They crash a party among more or less like minded individuals --honest disputes not withstanding -- and sow seeds of anger. One begins to read posts more quickly and with an eye toward conflict.
On the other hand such a shared battle experience (Keyboard Commando Division) can bring the intellectually honest members of a forum closer together. The damage a troll does is likely outweighed by the sense of camaraderie it engenders in those he attacks. Especially when the object of that attack is Dr. Paul.
I find it beneficial to turn my errors into didactic moments. Looks the "cold one" you got was lemonade.
We need to reach out to the Trolls, but they're so damned ugly....
Here - take my hand - let me help you up off the face of the cliff onto dry, level ground ...
How can I get a job doing what you do?
Whatever you say pal, whatever you say....
Hate to bring this up,but try Hillary for at least four years.Enough to make you go postal!
8 years, what is to prevent it? Well, if we get that far that it is...but I doubt there will be a nation in even name much longer...
a great man
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, John Paul Jones, Sam Houston, Geronimo, General Patton, Ron Paul. A true American Hero. A great man who stood up to tyrants and a government run by pedophiles and rapists.
Corzine, Obama/Sotero, Bushes, Clintons, bernanke, Johnson, Benedict Arnold. John kerry, barney frank, Dodd of oz. Criminal Scum and will be remembered as such.
"Sad part is he's right." -family member visiting from abroad, listening to Ron Paul for the first time.
If he's right and Romney is crazy, what does that make Obama?
Puppet in chief.
The majority's choice. Sigh.
Not if you include those who refused to vote for the lesser of two evils.
If you don't like the first two, vote for the third -it doesn't matter who he is. If he gets in, at least it will shake the tree. If it triggers one of the first two to get in, it doesn't matter, one of them was going to get in anyway.
There was a video of Ron Paul at LewRockwell.com just before the election which I've searched for but can't find. In it Ron says that he knows intelligent people who don't vote out of principle and he's OK with that. Lew was Ron's chief of staff back in the day and Lew is a committed non-voter. Ron Paul remains Lew's great friend and Ron has said that he reads the LRC website everyday. Lot's of encouragement to withdraw your consent by not voting at LRC. I'm down with that, a lever with Ron Paul's name on it being the only recent exception.
President of a nation that is deserving of such an individual's 'leadership'.
Everyone in America will be buying you a beer after it's over.
I'll offer him a ride home afterwards.
We're going to invite him to Switzerland to speak at a Libertarian think tank called "liberales Institut" (fyi: "liberal" in German means "Libertarian"): http://www.libinst.ch/?i=home--en
Liberal in German means bowing over. The German Liberal Party never had anything in common with anything libertarians could relate to, just some token democratic party for the West German Politbureau.
The gay leader of said party acting out as foreign minister is kind of liberal, as he brings his male fiancee along as "second lady" on foreign official travels.
German language, not GermanY, the country ;-) We're a Swiss organization, not tied to German politics at all. The German FDP once had a few good thinkers like Ralf Dahrendorf, but they're nearly intellectually dead now, I agree on that. At least they got Frank Schäffler now. He's a good guy.
I believe he's referring to "liberal" in the classical sense. "Conservatives" were those dedicated to the preservation of the status quo (e.g. kings, queens, dukes, duchess, princes, and such) where the "liberals" were those interested in freeing themselves from the predetermined caste
This man will forever be my hero.
Ron Paul Rocks!
Ummmm ... why wasn't Ron's appeal more universal to voters?
Why didn't more voters support him in the primaries?
And, why didn't Ron come out strongly for, um, Mitt I think it was who ultimately became the Repub candidate?
Why didn't RP support the repub candidate?
Or, was this just all about 'Ron' (a RP fan club) activity rather than anything seriously political?
I'm sure beyond any doubt that the nearly ubiquitously negative reporting Ron Paul was given by the corporate-controlled media (when he was mentioned at all, which was seldom compared to the other candidates), and the undeniably unfair and biased manner in which he was treated in the so-called "debates" (where he was often given less than 25% of the time to speak as most or every other candidates), and the egregiously corrupt electoral machinations made in his disfavor by the hardcore Neocon Republican Party establishment to cheat him out of delegates and outright victories in more than a few state primaries, all had nothing to do with his (orchestrated) less-than-universal support.
The answer to your first two questions is "because the American electorate consists of ignorant fools." The answer to your third and fourth questions is "for the same reason he didn't endorse Obama, i.e. what Romney/Obama represents (corporatism) is anathema to what Ron Paul represents (libertarianism)." The answer to your final question is "the goal was for Ron to win the Republican nomination, or at least use the campaign to educate people (failure on the first count, success on the second)."
In conclusion, go fuck yourself.
We're lucky to have had him as long as we did.
Goodbye Mr. Paul, I hope your best days are to come.
We'll take it from here.
