Quotes Of The Day - Ron Paul Edition
“Ideas are very important to the shaping of society. In fact, they are more powerful than bombings or armies or guns. And this is because ideas are capable of spreading without limit. They are behind all the choices we make. They can transform the world in a way that governments and armies cannot. Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me than fighting with guns or politics or political power. With ideas, we can make real change that lasts.”
- Ron Paul, Liberty Defined: The 50 Urgent Issues That Affect Our Freedom
“Under the United States Constitution, the federal government has no authority to hold states “accountable” for their education performance…In the free society envisioned by the founders, schools are held accountable to parents, not federal bureaucrats.”
- Ron Paul
“I’m convinced that you never have to give up liberties to be safe. I think you’re less safe when you give up your liberties.”
- Ron Paul
“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.”
- Ron Paul
“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.”
- Ron Paul, The Revolution: A Manifesto
“Mr. Speaker, I once again find myself compelled to vote against the annual budget resolution for a very simple reason: it makes government bigger.”
- Ron Paul
“The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free.”
- Ron Paul
“Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.”
- Ron Paul
“Failure of government programs prompts more determined effort, while the loss of liberty is ignored or rationalized away…whether is it is the war on poverty, drugs, terrorism…or the current Hitler of the day, an appeal to patriotism is used to convince the people that a little sacrifice of liberty, here or there, is a small price to pay…The results, though, are frightening and will soon become even more so.”
- Ron Paul
“When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.”
- Ron Paul
“A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank.”
- Ron Paul
“Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it’s realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy.”
- Ron Paul
“The original American patriots were those individuals brave enough to resist with force the oppressive power of King George…Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security.”
- Ron Paul
“As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined.”
- Ron Paul
“It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking.”
“A citizen walking through the airport today is bombarded with 1984-style propaganda messages that are designed to make us fear some amorphous threat and also be suspicious of others. The government designs these messages to make us feel dependent and heavily lorded over in every aspect of our lives. These messages are becoming ever more pervasive, hitting us even in grocery stores when we are shopping.”

he is nut job and his son is a racist nut job. so are most of you stupid nut jobs.
Hey kato, why is he a nut job?
Obviously nobody here agrees with you and I am setting you up to say something even dumber so we can all call you out on your own ignorance and probably make you cry.
Let's send Kato & Bernanke to Iran! They can be Batman & Robin and battle the Iranians by themselves!
Warmongers should fight their own wars with their own flesh, blood and money. Not everyone else's kids, tax dollars and nation.
Ron Paul will be remembered as the Cato of our age.
Mitt Romney and Barack will be remembered as the archangels of American imperial decline.

What if our active military personnel overwhelmingly supported a single candidate for President, would you listen?
As a country we pay a lot of lip service to them, about how they are wonderful because they risk their lives every day to protect our freedom. Shouldn't we listen to what their opinion is?

Hope is for mindless morons.
RP shoud not use the infamous word "hope" to lure voters. Unless he wants mindless idiots to vote for him.
Wait...that would be like...99% of voters.
soldiers don't fight with hope.
governing elites have 2 methods to stimulate economy when their games fail:
US is engaged in both.
Answer is the FORCE out the elites and change the rules of the game.
Speaking of voting. Here are primary dates for January and Feb, to vote for Ron Paul against Gingrich, Romney. If you're not registered in many states registration's at least month in advance. Tell friends in these states of Ron Paul.
* January 3 – Iowa Caucuses
* January 10 – New Hampshire
* January 28 – South Carolina
* January 31 – Florida
* February 4 – Nevada Caucuses, Maine Caucuses (state convention through February 11th)

http://race42012.com/2012-presidential-primary-and-caucus-calendar/
Some states like Florida have a closed primary, and you need to register as a repubilican to vote for Ron Paul. Deadlines are upon us, so do it today/now.
Tin Foil Hats and Black Helicopters are all the bullish rage on ZeroHedge!!! Bunch of Whack-a-doos!!!
He's too old to be President...
You prefer young dicators?
"Failure of gov. programs prompts more determined efforts, while the LOSS of LIBERTY is ignored or rationalized away. Ron Paul
Yes, someone actually capable of doing the job...
The Main Lame Ass Stream Media, proxy pundits and puppets of the Money Masters that they are (not to mention that every single newspaper, television outlet and radio station is owned by one of 8 corporations) are about to unleash a tsunami of libel upon Ron Paul, given Paul's surge in Iowa and New Hampshire, which represents a direct threat to the establishment's control of all politics on both sides of the 'different' (but the same, in reality, with a few social wedge issues tossed out to create the illusion of choice) parties.
END THE NON-FEDERAL FRACTIONAL RESERVE NON-BANK.
ENFORCE THE CONSTITUTION & RESTRICT GOVERNMENT TO ITS CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE IN THE LIVES OF AMERICANS.
BURN THE IDEA OF TOO-BIG-TO-FAIL TO THE GROUND.
BREAK UP THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL-FINANCIAL COMPLEX SIMPLY BY WITHHOLDING SUBSIDIZATION OF IT.
RESTORE THE RIGHTS OF THE STATES AND ELIMINATE FEDERAL MANDATES.
Kato spent to much time and money being indoctrinated at the university, learning to be ignorant, learning that government is good for you, and windbag professors are wise, learing to be cowed by snarky so-called liberals, and learning that freedom is free.
Sheep are good, they just lack vigilance.
My family and I would like to wish everyone on these pages all the very best for Christmas and the New Year, may the coming year bring you health, wealth and happiness, and that extends to our Muslin, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist friends and every other creed, race and faith.
Have a good one...
Fwd: BOYCOTT ALL CNN SPONSORS!
December 23, 2011
Hello folks,
This has been a pet project for a long time. This good soul must have read one of these posts because shazam, here is the list that we are seeking of the sponsors of CNN and possibly some other lame stream media propaganda outlets.
No longer do we refer to any news or main stream news media as news or media. It will henceforth all be known as propaganda. Please set the pace people. From this time on, ALWAYS REFER TO THE MEDIA AS PROPAGANDA. Never call it main stream or news again. It is nothing less than propagandistic lies and dis/mis-information. Hang the label accordingly.
Here is the list below. Make this go viral and EVERYONE CALL these evil companies and tell them you will no longer buy or use any of their products as long as the sponsor the propaganda, and that you are encouraging a world wide boycott of their products for supporting the lies and dis/mis-information of the propaganda spewing cnn machine and other propaganda channels polluting the airwaves with the lies and BS to mislead and mind control the people.

I saw an earlier thread about boycotting CNN and contacting their sponsors. For what it's worth, I suffered through about 3 hours of Headline News to compile a list of some of their sponsors.
I hope this is helpful to anyone wanting to contact their advertisers.

Regarding the false flag. The fact that Iran (as well as others who have suffered US drone massacres in that region) can take control of a US drone It would not be surprising to have an false flag incident involving the drones flying over US cities. Of course it would be immediately be recognized as a false flag because Iranians were only able to control that drone because it came within range of Iranian military transmitters. The Iranians don't have a satellite network to take control drones flying over US cities from inside Iran.
Doing what job? The job of destroying the Constitution? The job of legislating immoral laws? The job of detaining American citizens at length under NDAA? You need to wake up!
I mean the job of President for at least 4 years, none of this shite.
You need to chill out...

At least my hat will keep my head dry when it rains and my black helicopter looks cooler than your pink one.
oooh, ooh, when I pick up my black helicopter, I'll add on a nice 30mm chain gun. That will be awesome. Of course I will need to take some pilot lessons. Anybody here offering some helo lessons?
Wouldn't recommend it. Too many moving parts.
Hi Nouriel.
cute, I never knew "stimulate" was a synonym for control
that does remind me of those experiments they do to rats with reward. If they do what you want they would get a "treat" of narcotic or something to flood the rat's brain with dopamine. Pretty soon you got the rat conditioned to do anything to get that hit..er, I mean stimulys.
Kato's mom needs a nut job
Redpill, No you shouldn't. When all's said and done they swore an oath to protect the country from all enemies 'both foreign and domestic'. They aren't allowed to decide who the enemy is, especially if they are domestic, which means that they swore an oath to uphold the wishes of the government of the day.
No, you should not be listening to them anymore than you should anyone else It is they you are likely to be fighting when the shit hits the fan now.
Thank you for clearly articulating the fascist position. It helps.
It's not fascist, it's universal, always was....
only fools think they're fighting for the country.
an oath to protect the nation, not the nation's dictators and their whims.
Maybe you need to enlist and see what "the government of the day" commands you to do, just to make their buddies richer and secure greater power for themselves.
Also, you'd be amazed how many of the vets and active military are going to be on the people's side. The troops are exposed to the realities of our government's policies faster than the average citizen, and many of them are angry.
'Maybe you need to enlist and see what "the government of the day" commands you to do' - Maybe I did once, and maybe you should go and read an Oath yourself; maybe even utter it and see how it feels. I say 'an' Oath because there are more than one, and they all say basically the same thing. You swear to the US Constitution, others to the Queen or governments various but you still swear to political leaders somewhere under the guise of patriotism. Like you have some say in the matter of who the enemy is, or that you have some input into what is now right and wrong. You can bitch and whine on these pages but you cannot decide who the enemy is. Go figure.
I think you'll be amazed at how many vets might voice their support but will ultimately do as they're fucking told since their careers always have and always will depend on it, no matter what, and especially when it comes down to who feeds them and their families.
Reluctantly, I agree. This is part of what compelled me to resign my commission before I had been promoted past O-3. Any higher, and the temptation to put career advancement above duty to the Constitution becomes formidable, if not overwhelming.
Whilst I draw the line at labelling service personel with any label, it is good now and then to cross the path of others with the integrity and will to make decisions based on their beliefs in right and wrong, and not just self and personal career, or because it is simply too easy to continue to stay in service. My complaint is not about the services or serving personel, but about the situation that requires that we swear to something we have no control over, and I merely make the point that it is not yours, or mine, or anybody else's decision to decide what is in the best interests of the Constitution, if that is what you believe in, but that you can be shot for upholding what you believe your Constitution means if you contradict the opinion of others that govern...
The Constitution means nothing other than to the idealists that believe in it. Like the Magna Carta, it is rallying call, an excuse for poor people to die for, something to be set aside when others deem it in the national best interests. Something is very wrong somewhere, and too few seem to realise it...
there's some obvious dissonance here:
how are these oath-takers reconciling their "promise" to "protect the nation" in the face of the obvious corporate invasions they volunteered to kill for?
how are these same people to be admired for their perspectives, in the light of their choices? how are they, according to you, "on the people's side" when armed to kill the "other people" - and still drawing wages & benefits for doing so?
when these keepers of the oaths & protectors of the nation stop straddling the fence and begin to show some principles, I might be persuaded that they"re "on the people's side" - the people of the "enemy" and the people of the "nation". . .
swore an oath to uphold the wishes of the government of the day
Courious as to whom [exactly] you might consider as the government "of the day"?
Hint: Remember 3rd grade and that catchy little phrase we all learned: "of the people, by the people and for the people"?
You should have studied - studious individuals get laid - dorks tug solo during lonely midnight confessionals. I'll get you soap and a catcher's mitt for Christmas!

From "The Bill of No Rights:"
ARTICLE VIII
You do not have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop you from going to fight if you'd like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.
Interesting comment on Reuters blog, and others comments that talk of his support for Martin Luther King day.
"Dear Mr. Hosenball,
Please comment publicly on Ron Paul’s compelling anti-racist speech, delivered at the PBS Republican Primary Debate at Morgan State University on Sept. 27, 2007, hosted by noted African American media personality, Tavis Smiley:
http://youtu.be/i3EADdr-5AY
In this pronouncement, Paul denounces racism & the prejudicial targeting of minorities in our criminal justice system, which uses the War on Drugs as a cover to suppress minority political action at home & to exert perverse political influence in Latin America. Unlike the other GOP or even Democratic candidates, who trade in cheap, sterile statements, Ron Paul expresses a substantive commitment to ending the worst forms of institutionalized racism present in US political structure today. He opposes the War on Drugs, 3 strikes your out laws, racist Voter ID laws, detention without trial, and denounces rampant Islamophobia cloaked as National Defense. Paul genuinely promotes transparency – unlike Barack Obama who has asserted, contrary to campaign claims, the right of his administration to neither confirm nor deny the existence of key documents, a move all previous presidents under the FOIA had not even considered. This emphasis on transparency could likely bring to light extremely disturbing but covert programs that have racist agendas, of the ilk of Oliver North’s famed Rex84.
Paul is openly ANTI-racist and – what is even more important than that – would seek to rid our criminal IN-justice system of its endemic corruption which intentionally and unfairly targets minorities, denies them due process and disproportionately imprisons them while letting similar offenders who are either richer or of a different ethnicity walk free.
Dr. Paul has also been interviewed by Tavis Smiley on several occasions.
Please weigh in on Ron Paul’s repeated public statements of admiration of civil rights leaders Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. Please review his vote to approve Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and his bid to contribute personal money to award Rosa Parks an honorary medal.
Please comment on Dr. Paul’s delivery of minority babies in his private OBGYN practice free of charge.
On behalf of journalistic integrity, please comment publicly on Dr. Paul’s Sept. 27, 2007 pronouncement referenced above.

Jamaica Plain, MA
this is beautiful. will never hear it from the media though. fuckers.
fuckers is the right word
The only good thing is that you know Paul is gaining traction when the corporate media starts to freak out and engage in the full-on smear campaign. He may be an ideologue when it comes to his free market as the answer to all problems worldview, but he's not a racist with a hate agenda. I suspect the media's attempt to cast him that way will backfire. He's going to get a lot of publicity out of this, and his supporters are likely to spend a lot of energy educating the public about his real views.
You have to admire the balls of anyone willing to carry the can for this lot, to go down in history as the man responsible for collapsing the US and global economy and brought the country to the edge of anarchy.
Or perhaps he won't... Perhaps he's bullshittin'...
The end result will be no different just because Paul is Pres, It is still financial collapse and he knows it. He will not implement the changes that everyone here is expecting...
Maybe he can't stop the inevitable from happening, but like the doctor he is, he will show us the x-ray of the cancer that's killing us and give us options for destroying it and preventing it from coming back. The other presidential options will just carry on the kabuke dance and protecting the powers that be.
That's ok, as long as you don't expect anything more than that.
Like I said, it takes real balls to carry the can for this lot, forever, however long that is...
At the point we are currently at I don't think it can hurt. He may not do anything but I am still voting for him because we need a positive figure for our country who is not a puppet.
Will he change anything? Don't know and nobody can tell. But Obama can't win again and neither can those other ass clowns in the republican party. If they do I am not sure what will happen and to be frank I am not sure what we as brothers and sisters will have to face.
Fair comment...
I am of the opinion that you are a fool.
That's because you can't see past your own naivety...
Glad you can tell the fucking future now. Wanna help me out with some Lottery Tickets? You people are not only pathetic with your slanderous BS, but also because you do not actually understand the subject you are so vocal in speaking on.
Then educate us. You clearly are a fanatic willing to slag off anyone who dares to disagree with your opinion, simply because they say something you don't like. Only one step away from the 'Brown Shirts' really...
Tell me where I'm wrong.
Perhaps you would be gracious enough to tell me what you think I don't actually undersatnd?
It would be a lot easier and require absolutely no "typing" whatsoever, to tell you where you appear to be "right".
Are you asserting an obvious "non position on anything" out of some deep sense of patriotism you lost somewhere between nothingness and eternity?
What do you want from the executive branch? It's easy to say what one does not want.
BTW: The last time I saw someone decked out in a Harlequin mask (and adorned in the finest pair of "Joan Crawford Fuck Me Quick Pumps", I ever saww), they were strutting down Hotel Street in Honolulu shouting "8 inches or less". Are you a mahu from Wahiawa?
That's because you're too fucking stupid to see past a username, which means nothing...
Harlequin - exactly, not to mention in order to get laws passed don't they have to go through either the house or senate who will kill any one of these changes Dr. Paul proposes. Unless you get Ron Paul to cover all seats and votes in the house and congress he will be a lame duck from the moment he gets in.
Thats true but what are we suppose to do. Just let our children's future go to hell. I am not. I may not win but am willing to fight and die for our children's future any fucking day of the week.
What I see is maybe he will not get anything done. But guess what if he is the president and can start saying what politicians are against the people in his state of the union address and other speeches. Sometimes nothing has to be done to change the world. Let the norons in the house and senate doom themselves which will happen if RP gets in office because he will make people start to see they have been lied to for a very long time. There is always 2 sides to everything although the outcome may not be what we want at that very moment doesn't mean we are taking a step back either.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Yes indeed. I just returned from driving to the store and heard on the radio a report about this supposed Ron Paul supported letter. Then I get home and NewsMax (Republican site) has sent out an email with this headline "Ron Paul Signed Racist Letter
Ron Paul has denied knowing that a newsletter bearing his name and from which he profited offered racist views, anti-Semitic diatribes and claimed the 1993 World Trade Center bombing may have been orchestrated by Israel. Reuters reports that a letter promoting the newsletter bearing Paul's signature has surfaced."
You know that the old school GOP cronies are getting awfully worried about Ron Paul when they resort to stuff like this.
I wrote this a while back (early December):
"TPTB have been trying to 'market' someone, anyone, that would resonate with the voters more than Paul. There has been a steady stream of 'new' candidates that they have paraded in front of the voters....the latest of which is Gingrich. They enter the race, they are lifted to the top of the heap by the MSM and then they fall when TPTB find that they are not really popular and have a lot of baggage. Each time the conversations from the MSM couch the race as between Romney and the new guy/gal. Each time they completely ignore Paul. This shows how desperate they are to marginalize Paul.....he challenges the status quo. They are almost as afraid of Romney because they are not sure he would go along with everything they require of him. This is the reason they brought Huckabee in during the 2008 Iowa and southern primaries. This is also the reason they are using Gingrich. Gingrich could not win the election going head to head against an incumbent. TPTB are much more ready to deal with the devil they know than the devil they don't know and the top of their list for 'Devil they don't know' is #1: Ron Paul and #2: Mitt Romney. They are doing all they can to defeat first Paul and second Romney."
This type of stuff makes me want to scream -What is it about 'WE ARE OUT OF MONEY' that the GOP does not understand? Do they think it does not apply equally to Defense as it does to everything else? The following, which I wrote in early November, applies:
"Fri, 11/04/2011 - 13:34
.....If voting really worked, then Ron Paul would not be getting marginalized and relegated to the sidelines by the MSM. The only 'choice' we will get in the coming election are candidates that have been completely vetted by TPTB. Right now, on the Repub side of the picture, it is Romney and Cain. This whole thing with Cain lately is a rouse the sheeple sympathy ploy. Rally the troops! What a farce! Two entities hold all the cards (to the GOP); Wall Street and the military industrial complex. Paul has annoyed both by demanding the Fed be abolished on the one hand and that the wars be stopped and troops brought home on the other. A grass roots campaign that talks straight with the voters is the only chance he has. I just hope the voters actually ignore all the misdirection and do some thinking this time around."
What we are seeing now shows how the GOP and its current leaders are shackled by these well monied interests. As I stated above, the only way for Ron Paul to win is for thinking people to ignore the MSM attacks and attempts to marginalize him. They continue to spout that he is only winning in Iowa because he has a superior organization and, of course, it has nothing to do with his integrity nor his policy stances. The rank and file need to wake up and see what is going on here. They also must realize that we can no longer afford the expense of the status quo.
...and the definition of the 'status quo' is:

I'll say it once (last year before the elections) and I'll say it again now:
"Current politics is best represented by a two headed dragon. Politicians pay lip service to opposing ideologies but both the Republican and Democratic parties are part of the same big government dragon body. The body is moving in one direction; bigger and more powerful government. More control over the electorate. Having the two parties serves a greater purpose though....it divides the populace (sheeple?) into two camps that are always at each others' throat. I think this tactic is called divide and conquer. Until we wake up and get away from the 'Repubs this....' or 'Dems that....' blame game then we will be slowly boiled...just like the frog in the frying pan...all while the dragon stands by watching and laughing."
And .....the sheep continue bleeting.
"it divides the populace (sheeple?) into two camps that are always at each others' throat. I think this tactic is called divide and conquer. Until we wake up and get away from the 'Repubs this....' or 'Dems that....' blame game"
Sound anything like what has been going on in Wash, D.C. ??
Maybe people are finally sick of politicians who claim they are working for the voters, but allow lobbyists and big donors to write our laws.
Maybe people are fed up with the Federal Reserve holding rates at rock bottom enabling the big financial firms to make millions with cheap Fed loans, while the rest of us get 0.005% on our savings accounts.
Maybe they are getting tired of bailing out the bankers who created the worthless mortgage-backed securities that fill our pension plans.
Maybe they've decided the government should not have the right to detain citizens indefinitely on vague suspicions.
Maybe they are beginning to realize that freedom IS actually important after all.
Maybe Ron Paul's time has come.
Ron Paul's quotes are great.
I also like his own version of "Chuck-Norris"-like facts:
him look shorter.

One of my fav Ron Paul Quotes:
"You don't have freedom because you are a hyphenated American; you have freedom because you are an individual" - Ron Paul
You don't have freedom because you are a rehypothecated American.
You make slavery sound complicated. ;-)
That does explain a lot, indeed.
oh really?
tell that to the female individuals Mr. Paul, the ones you feel called to limit, through government decree, their choices on body sovereignty, while remaining silent on the responsibility of the equally responsible male.
as yet, I remain unconvinced.
Ron Paul is running for a Federal office and says that the Federal government should have no say in the legality of abortion.
As to male responsibility for pregnancies, you presumably believe that bearing a child is solely the choice of the woman and that the man has no say in determining whether that child will or will not be aborted. It is the "pro-choice" crowd who are hypocritical on this issue. If bearing a child is a woman's choice and hers alone then why would you expect a man to be financially liable for that child?
Crock, we've argued this case before, and despite your love of having the last word, you still have not addressed ANY of the points I offered you.
for the record, the CHOICE of whether to carry a FOETUS full term should be the CHOICE of the female whose body will be doing the carrying - IF she chooses to take into consideration the feelings of the man who contributed to the conception, that is her prerogative - but ONLY the female is bearing the responsibility of carrying in her body, only she knows all the subtle reasons why she will make the choice - this is NOT the realm of government, nor the State - this is the realm of the individual female, it is HER body.
again, you have argued from your particular point of view based on your personal history - we needn't go over that again.
this is not on-topic - my question remains, IF Ron Paul wants to use government to deny a female the right to a safe abortion, THEN what is his stance on the sperm donor's equal responsibility in the conception of the foetus? that is the only point I'm interested in, and you refuse to go there.
All you have to do is look at his own life. He didn't knock up Carol and leave her high and dry.
again off-topic fan boy nonsense - you are incapable of answering my question.
"Fan boy" is such a stupid phrase. Only a doofus would use it.
Women sue men for child support every day. Do you think that Ron Paul will outlaw that?
lol, you're like a rapid rat terrier - NEVER answer the question, ALWAYS change the subject by asking a different question, and ALWAYS come back for the last post.
your RPaul fan boy stance will see the story unfold over the upcoming months. . . enjoy.
get in that last word post now pet.
Here's the question you asked:
Here's the answer I gave:
What part of that do you fail to comprehend?
*gah*
again, you completely ignored the "what is his stance" despite me bolding it, and answer with yet another question!
IF Ron Paul wants to deny a female the right to an abortion, ie, enforcing a pregnancy to birth, THEN what is his plan for the sperm donor? IF he removes a female's right to body sovereignty, HOW is he holding the sperm donor responsible in any way?
IF the onus is on the female to use the court system, HOW is Ron Paul holding the sperm donor equally responsible for the conception of the foetus?
who pays for the full lifetime support of the child? the female? the state? does Ron Paul have a platform for this? is there anything in his platform for addressing the issue of enforced births and the subsequent social consequences?
I'm obviously not interested in your opinions or arguments - does Ron Paul have a response to this, or does his desire to enforce births stop with the birth?
this is the truncated "conversation" we keep having - I've yet to hear anyone tell me what Ron Paul's stated plan is, beyond denying a female her body sovereignty based on his religious beliefs.
my bottom line: how is removing the right to decide what happens to your body the business of government, and only something that applies to females, how is this considered "libertarian" at all? because if it's REPUBLICAN, and Xtian Republican, then yeah, I get it. . . same old same old.
Men are already held responsible for child support with lawsuits, DNA testing, payroll garnishment and imprisonment. Ron Paul has not stated that he wants this to change therefor we can conclude that his plan is to allow this system to continue. Is there something more you believe should be done, castration, perhaps? If so, spell it out instead of beating around the bush (no pun intended).
Just because you don't like an answer doesn't mean one hasn't been given.
you're a hoot, and a real example of a voter - assume your candidate will do what you think or hope he will.
fact is you're making this shit up, and you don't know Paul's stance, and it appears no one here does either.
done.
You still haven't said what you think should be done that isn't already being done in regards to making a man pay child support. You must have something in mind or are you just blowing smoke? If it's a good idea I'll call the doctor and let him know about it.
"...delivered Chuck Norris."
Priceless!
as long as he opposes "racist Voter ID laws" he will never be elected. why does he think that he is always shut out and someone like Obama can get in? elections are rigged, voter ID is one tool against the fraud.
i'll second that. why Kato? i'm curious. what facts do you have to support your assertion?
Are you serious? Do you do realize the person you're asking is someone that watches for Ron Paul threads so that he/she can make sure the first comment is an ad hominem attack on Ron Paul?
If you count the number of times kato makes a point to tell other commenters that he/she is a republican, it's pretty obvious. The Obama-ites do not like the fact that there are people on the left that care about more than just words. Their answer. Words.
I don't know what Kato's problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
Considering the speed of the post, I would postulate that in addition to what ever it is, he also suffers from hypervigilance.
Kato's problem is a condition known as Dingleberiberi. It's a neurological ailment which causes him to cling to assholes.
I'll tell you why Ron Paul is a nut job. He believes in god ("deities" won't even get capitalization in this exposition). Anyone who beieves in god is a moron. straight up bra. How about the tooth fairy? Candyman? Jason? Hopefully Ron Paul will see his grandparents in heaven. How about an atheist candidate???
"We get our rights from our Creator as individuals. So every individual should be treated the same way." -Ron Paul
Anyone referring to the Creator in the 21st century is a fucking amateur and will believe anything. Air me out but remember Baby Jesus' birthday is nigh. Here is what I don't understand about Christianity (I'm American and very atheist).....how can you base your life around an illiterate semite who ran around palestine 2,000 years ago claiming he was the son of god? How fucking stupid can you be? Ron Paul can take his religious ideas and sodomize goats but he ain't cutting it for the simple reason that all religious people are sheep.
This atheist is happily voting for Ron Paul. God bless us, every one.
Youre "throwing" your vote away (because Ron Paul ain't making it and you know it) and concomitantly supporting the most evil institution (church beats Goldman and Senate all day E'ry DAY) which makes you a coward AND LOWLIFE. Vote early and often but know. Where do you draw the line when whoring your beliefs?
