Ron Paul Recants The GOP, Just Says No To Keynesians
As we anticipate more demand-rigging, pump-priming, can-kicking experiments from Bernanke today, Ron Paul just came out with his latest stream of truthiness (via Bloomberg):
- *REP. PAUL SAYS BOTH PARTIES KEYNESIANS, GOP 'NOT HIS
PARTY' - *REP. PAUL SAYS FED PRICE FIXING
- *REP. PAUL SAYS FED FLOODING MARKET WITH MONEY
Indeed, what is the opposite of 'between a rock and a hard place' when deciding on just who will provide 'change' in November.

Long live Ron Paul.
Down with Rom-Bama and the hostile buyout of the USA! Just like a target of a takeover, they've pumped up the debt and pushed the imbalanced nation to the cliff's edge. And when it crashes, they will get first dibs on the choicest salvage!
And gitcho mitts offa my hangin' chad !!
And gitcho mitts offa my hangin' chad !!
True Liberty is never having mercy of other man be reasonable! Raw power is never reasonable.
All your grammars are belong to us.
Is Grammar Nazi is present?
He just may now that he won't be the RNC presidential nominee. I honestly have been amazed that the Fed crime family hasn't made him have an unfortunate 'accident' yet.
They don't want him to be a martyr. His death would incite many to immediate violence.
Now Tom, what kind of attitude is that, I didn't know you were a death worshipper.
Just the same, long guillotines.
Using the ECB and the FED currency swaps!!!
Is like a used car sales man rolling back the odometer and selling in another state.
FUCKING BANKS!
Why won't RP just endorse Gary Johnson? Otherwise some of us will choose to vote Libertarian, some of us will choose to write in Ron Paul. I'd rather see Johnson get 10% of the vote than see a lot of people trying to choose between Kang and Kodos, others writing in, and others voting Libertarian. It would certainly be a more unified message to TPTB.
There was an article in the Daily Oklahoman yesterday saying there will be no third party candidates on the Oklahoma ballot. NONE! And write-ins are "not allowed" on same.
WTF?
America IRS is collect tax for pay Interest Debt to Banks. Function of Treasury. Treasury is heirarchy of Secret Service. Secret Service is 1) monitor counterfeicy, 2) protect president monitor presidency. POTUS and general election candidate is under Secret Service protection monitoring.
Federal Reserve Secret Service is more powerful, more scary, more ruthless than NKGB!
See "William Greer" for more details.
I like Ron and Rand but I am skeptical. Ron had Romney's back against Santorum. romney let Ron Paul stay at Romney's mansion on Lake Winnepesakee, NH during the NH primary. Ron Paul was buddies with Romney all through the primaries.
We also know Newt was brought in by Adelson to also cover Romney's back. Santorum would have beaten Romney if Newt was not there. Ron Paul would have been the best choice or Rand but Santorum was better than Romney.

HOT: Ron Paul Left Tampa Yesterday Posted by Lew Rockwell on August 29, 2012 10:49 AMRon, Carol, and one of their granddaughters left the GOP snake pit yesterday afternoon, but the State was not yet through with them. At the little airport in Clearwater, 8 TSA agents descended on them and ordered them not to board their private plane. First, the pilots, the airplane, and the passengers would have to be screened in great detail, because Romney might be nearby. After a long examination of the pilots and their credentials, the agents said they had to check the plane for explosives. One of the pilots noted that the plane, full of aviation fuel, was already a bomb. Then Carol Paul, who has a pacemaker, refused to be screened, and an aide started taking video of the whole rotten process. At that point, the TSA backed down and let them through, to Texas and freedom
Good for him for leaving.
Ron Paul is the product of a gentler age......and I do mean that in the best of ways. To quote Reagon, "I didn't leave the party. The party left me."
Maybe next time he'll just go Libertarian or Independent. It makes no sense him being in the republicrat party.
No, it makes sense. There was a Taft-ian wing of the party that was anti-intervention. Things just aren't bad enough where the average voter has made the connection between an interventionist foreign policy and our domestic issues. That time will come, however.
There is at least a modicum of hope for the Stupid Party. There's nothing left but turning America into Chicago for the Evil Party.
All true. But I have to point out that there is nothing left of the Taftian wing. The only thing left in the Stupid Party is a bunch of post-neocon pawns. The central irony, IMO, is that the supporters of this party have the ability to fool themselves into believing that these guys are going to do something different - this time.
At least with the Demican party, the useful idiot crew believes (and receives) loot from the rest of us (which is of course what they want).
Calling the GOP "stupid party" would involve that there is a form of intelligence at play. I would say that's true for no more than 10% of the GOP base. The rest is Zombie Party. Listen to Bill O'Reilley, boo the golden rule, be very very afraid of terrorism happening in your backyard, and vote like you are told to.
Write in Ron Paul, sleep well.
After all, if elections actually made a difference, they would be illegal.
I no longer consent, therefore I will not vote. Sleep even more soundly.
I'm voting for Bob, because I demand slack.
Agreed. Public boycott movement of the electionmakes the most sense.
Well, at least until the jack-booted thugs are knocking on your door. Vote/don't vote, makes no fucking difference.
You really want to boycott something that will actually make a difference, stop paying taxes tough guy.
I would if I could! I work for a municipality. How can I "stop paying taxes"? Please tell me? The bitchz Take thier tax BEFORE I see my check.
start an s corp....
Increase the number of deductions you take to a number high enough to reduce your withholding to $0.

Belligerent prick.
Ha! You're pretty funny! If a dead person can still vote, what on earth makes you think they won't vote for you?
Good luck IF you can write in. HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR BALLOT?
Here in Texas, unless at least one third party candidate gets on the November Ballet as a write-in, it is over, Texans will be unable to write in Ron Paul. Per county voting officials.
Make no mistake, no write-in, no vote by me. I WAS 60 on July 26, 1952, and I have voted every general election since I could first vote at 20 years old (overseas absentee twice)
No write-in for the only man that has any idea of the constitution or sound money, and I am out of here quickly.
Dude, you're old. Really old.
Just teasing. But I will note that when I wrote in a presidential candidate in PA in 1992 I later found out that it wasn't counted because the presidential ballot must contain a vote for president and vice president. They've always got something up their sleeve.
So write in Ron Paul with Gary Johnson as veep. Then they would theoretically have to count it. The more likely outcome is that your vote would be used to line the bottom of a bird cage, but at least you followed their protocol.
There can be no grand tally of those who write in Paul if everyone writes in a different VEEP. So even if it was counted it would never be reported.
@LawsofPhysics: I agree: "Write in Ron Paul, sleep well."
My mom, a lifelong Democrat, told me some months ago that Ron Paul was the only candidate that made sense to her.
Instead of normally cancelling out each other's vote, this election we have promised each other to write in Ron Paul.
Maybe an "adopt-a-liberal" program like this could sweep the nation :-)
If the Bamster wins because of it, then so be it; I'm prepared largely because of ZH.
My mother, also a life long Democrat, registered Republican this year in order to vote for Paul in the PA primary. Pigs were swooping through the skies and Satan caught a head cold.
Romney/Ryan can "Kiss My Rebel ASS!"
Hoser (Regestered Republican)
Ryan/Romney.....fixed it for you.

Excellent! Thanks for the laugh, Moose.
I'll readily "waste" my vote before pulling the lever for Mittens. Can't even fathom voting for Obama.
Always vote for what you really want, even if you have to write it in.
Good luck IF you can write in. HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR BALLOT?

So you are 120 years old? Damn! The wonders of modern medicine! You are really getting your money's worth milking Social Security!
2012-1952=60 Math does matter. Hope you don't do your own taxes.
" I WAS 60 on July 26, 1952"
Implies an age of 120!!! Yes?
My math skills are superb. Your reading conprehension is the ability I challenge my friend!
"I was 60 on July 26, 1952" Reading comprehension does matter. Hope you understood the instructions when you did your taxes.
Just having fun with you, nothing personal. :)
Yes, the avenues for expressing one's discontent with the political system continue to be closed. Just like with economics, we are now maintaining appearances, not realities, only guaranteeing the severity of the backlashes when they finally do occur.
I'm voting for cthulhu. I'm sick of choosing between the lesser of two evils.
Ron Paul!
533 lies in 30 weeks
By Mitt Romney.
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2012/08/29/mitt-romney-tells-533-lies-in-30-weeks-steve-benen-documents-them/
Not that I care for Obama either. He's just the "left wing" party candidate, representing the Wall Street party.
Both parties represent Wall Street, which is why this election is an echo, not a choice.
Exactly! The same puppet masters that have aligned behind Romney and his money machine are the same ones that launched Obama into the White House back in 08. I often wonder why those donors would abandon Obama though. He was quite the crony capitalist and fed more fiat to these fucks than I would have ever imagined, so why the change of heart? the only thing I can think of is that Romney's experience at Bain makes him much more in tune with the machinations of Wall Street and asset stripping, therefore Romney will be more eloquent in baffling the masses with bull shit as the politically connected strip the wealth from any of those damned savers.
The chicago community organizer in his second term is likely to be more independent and more politically desperate as the country circles the drain. I don't believe wall street thinks they will be able to control him as easily. Romney is a tried and true, true believing wall street stooge. The opportunity to have one of their own in there is irresistible.
If Obama gets a 2nd term he will have nothing to loss and the Congress will have everything to lose. I remember what Clinton achieved in his second term, other than that fat whore Monica, when he wasn't fighting for re-election!
Do we really want magic underpants in the WH?
I'd rather have Jesse Jackson and I still remember Jim Crow!!!!!
I'll still take Jesse Jackson over magic underpants any day!!!!
4 MORE YEARS!!!! I hope but, I am still writing in Ron Paul 'cause it is the right thing to do!
I'm so confused by all the Jewdi mind tricks!!!!!
"This is not the Constitutional Enforcer (RP) you are looking for (waves hand) move along!"
"If Obama gets a 2nd term he will have nothing to loss and the Congress will have everything to lose. I remember what Clinton achieved in his second term, other than that fat whore Monica, when he wasn't fighting for re-election!"
You know....we've truely hit a new low when I look back fondly on the second term of William Jefferson Clinton.
+1 Laconic.
History will write that 2012 stands out as the year the RNC killed itself. Can you smell it, the flesh already rots..
Exactly, the choice is between the Harvard brother with his pretty wife and cute little girls or the white wall street banker with his perfect wife, 5 boys, and his 18 cute grandchildren!!!
All print money first, ask questions later, Bernanke, Summers, Friedman, Hubbard loving, foreign policy hawks!!
Some choice!!!!!!
I'm writing in Ron Paul if I have to get my own pen and scribble it in bold letters across the fucking top of the ballot!!!
Bet I'll turn blue holding my breath waiting for that cynical arsehole to document Barry's lies the past 30 weeks.
Obama's lies are well-documented.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UErR7i2onW0
Well, Obama is different from Romney.
All the people who are capable of understanding what a tool Obama is have long since understood. The holdouts -- racists and fools -- are immune to evidence and experience.
Romney is different. He has not been the President of Broken Promises and Empty Rhetoric for the last 4 years. Many of his supporters still don't understand what a tool he is.
Many of them could, in principle, still be reached.
I'm not sure they could.
A lot of these morons who really think there's one iota of difference between the two Wall St candidates, treat politics more like a fucking sports game than something which could and SHOULD (be able to) have a profound difference to their lives.
I mean, you deal with absolute idiots who think nothing of Paul being thrown out of the convention, through last-minute rule changes, as "Paul is just bitter and didn't stand a chance anyway" according to this weeks talking point on corporate zombie news.
Brainwashed - though useful - idiots.
I really don't think many can be reached, nor can someone be forced awake. The political red/blue team Ambien is strong in the party followers.
Yes Mitt is VERY different he believes in "magic" underwear!
Will Rand Paul continue his father's course? I doubt it.
It took him this long to figure that out?
No, it didn't.
But by going through this gesture, look what he's proven.
He has demonstrated very clearly and publicly that the GOP is as much a part of the chains around our neck as the Dems. Like I've said before, you control a horse with two reins, not one. One on the left, and one on the right.
I'm tired of being treated as a meat-animal.
Run, Ron Paul. Run!
Amen. Ron Paul's campaign absolutely, empirically demonstrated this fact. The Presidential election is less honest, less open, and less democratic than American Idol or Dancing with the Stars.
Anyone got a video clip?
A patriot and hero. He will not be appreciated until it is too late I am afraid.
Shame on the media
ron revlution
A little late?
Here his campaign manager: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbrUPtwIKuk&feature=youtu.be
The question is...what's next for Dr. Paul?
If no one emerges, I suppose I could do it. I'd better check with my wife and family first. I may have to back off from coaching my daughter's softball team. Are any of you willing to help out? I will need some financial support -preferably gold, silver or cash. After MF Global I just don't trust the banks anymore.
That is not the question for he will be retired and eating chocolate chip cookies. He's done enough.
The question is what is next for humanity if they don't even respect or expect their own liberty and only get a virtual simulacrum of what that once meant.
Also, since the masses have been awakened by the internet what will they do to expand his message and movement of prosperity through peace and freedom.
The movement is in the hands of the people now. The intellectual revolution has begun. Just 4 years ago nobody cared to speak about the Fed. What is Bernanke's legacy? Ron Paul busted his ass all over the internet and as been right, documented and replayable for centuries, about 1000 more things than Ben can even dream to be right about.
GOLD IS NOT MONEY! That was a good one Ben. Some legacy.
Here, for the internet's enjoyment, Ron Paul being right about many things. Nostradamus doesn't have anything on Dr. Paul.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
NO!
What happened to the Libertarians I used to know?
Where's the spirit? Where's the guts?
We could fight these guys with conventional politics.
But that could take years, and cost millions of lives.
In this case, I think we have to go all out.
I think this situation absolutely requires a really stupid and futile gesture
to be done on somebody's part.
And we are just the guys to do it.
Run, Ron Paul.
Don't forget to swap out the togas for tricorner hats.
When did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor? I must have missed that.
Evidently so.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8lT1o0sDwI
Same thing as Ross Perot. Ridicule. Obscurity.
Perot deserved both. He was a blackmailer.
Paul is a statesman an idealist. He's been tooting the same horn for decades in the public eye. Neither will be his fate!
I think, after being drafted and serving the people of Texas in Congress, he deserves a rich retirement! Don't you? Let's hope Junior is half the man his father is.
Let's hope Junior is half the man his father is.

Rand Paul Tries to Intimidate & Harass Journalist After A Youtube Video - YouTube
Too late
It's simply amazing how one man speaking the truth absolutely blazes like a match in the dark. For all of the debt and unfunded liabilities, we run an even greater deficit on the things needed most at this critical point in our history - integrity, courage, truth and sound economic reasoning.
Thank you Bastiat and Mises for opening my eyes. I'm a neocon, economic illiterate no more!
Americans have missed a great opportunity to set the United States back on a path of geatness. Ron Paul is one of the last truly great men of our generation! We have much work left in educating those who have yet to open their eyes.
Hey GOP, Up yours!!!!!
RON PAUL !!!
Its still not to late, all we need is 10 million americans with torches rope and pitchforks to meet in DC on inauguration day.
Ouch I had a moment of clarity of what God thinks.
Still hurts.
Here is my brilliant campaign slogan for Obamney at no charge:
Lies we can believe in.
"Give me control over a nations currency, and I care not who makes its laws.”
Baron M.A. Rothschild
the bankers must die if there is to b change...
freedom....
liberty....
prosperity...
Yes, I'll only add that there needs to be real consequences for bad behavior. Where is John Corzine? When people know that their life is on the line, they tend to act a bit more respectful. Same reason why a well armed society tends to be considerable more polite (well at least after all the gang-fucks have killed each other).
It's bad to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
And I'm not American, but I feel obliged to say this.
Not his party, huh? Well, he should leave the GOP then.
He makes himself dirty by staying.
There's this old book saying, "tell me with whom you walk".
With whom you walk, Mr. Paul? Get out.

You obviously don't have any idea what he/we are doing.... In america, there is basically a two party system. No 3rd party is near viability yet. So our choices are... 1. Stick our heads in the sand and BOHICA 2. Take the repulican party over from the ground up. Wrest control of it and give the power back to the people. I realize this is an uphill battle and one that may never come to be. But I am thankful to god that there are men like Ron Paul and the patriots across the nation who have poured their hearts, souls, and dollars into trying to do something about it instead of sitting back and watching Rome burn while those fuckers at goldman sachs, the fed, and the govt pillage every fucking person in the country that's not a member of their cabal. I am finished fucking with these treasonous dick smacks and Ron Paul and the liberty movement is the only way I see of fixing it before my kids have to learn the realities of war first hand.
Too bad they're going to try and paint him as a sore loser / turncloak who is only in this for himself. I really hope the Liberty movement picks up even more steam.
I doubt if Dr. Paul worries about it too much. It's enough to know that one has lived his life well. For all of the poor treatment Dr. Paul has suffered at the hands of his detractors, it's not nearly as much as what Ludwig Von Mises went through. Mises is one of the most brilliant men of the 20th century but few have ever even heard his name.
You say it as if it would be the first time? I think they lost that edge when they had the perverts at the TSA try and frisk his 76 year old wife.
RP is making a disservice to the freedom movement.
A lot of good people still think politics will be a solution because he insists on staying with Republicans.
Even if by a miracle he was elected, you can bet a Kennedy would be pulled on him.
You should expect nothing from government. Learn to avoid it as much as you can.
Yes, this includes voting. It's a farce to provide legitimacy to the thugs. Don't be a part of it.
If you want liberty, you could do far worse than, saying, following the Alpha Strategy.
This is what Romney stands for.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=pyj-7FCDBrM
Personal freedom always has, and always will, begin as an idea to be cherished inside of one's own head, even if one's physical liberties are taken away. RP is the at the vanguard of contemporary education in this regard, so I respectfully disagree that he has done a disservice to the freedom movement as you suggest. To the contrary, his tenacity has awakened millions to the construct of the current system, the power of critical thinking, and the need for fundamental change. By trying to promote change within the current system, I believe he has laid bare the corruption for all to see, even if only a small minority see it clearly today.
The two major parties don't have any real positions on any topic. They just want to win and will sacrifice anything or anyone to be elected.
Open Democracy Hijacked!!! This is in your face Corporate politics.

I just hate Hate!
You're right, so do I, hate is a powerful word. Let me rephrase...If I had to choose between Microsoft and dry shaving with a dull razor I would choose the latter.
Why not install
Kubuntu
Linux?
See my response above.
If you don't live in Cali, I think the AR w/ a 30-round mag would provide greater satisfaction.
Depending on what software you need in your computer, you could try to install an operating system based on Linux.
It's different from Windows in many aspects and you will need to study how it works, but no pain, no gain.
I suggest you to try Ubuntu.
Unfortunatly work is all cloud based and ,for safety reasons (yeah right)requires internet explorer to access it.
Internet Explorer for safety. The person responsible for this should be hanged.
If Internet Explorer is required you should buy a new computer with Windows 7.
I think the latest Internet Explorer is no longer available for XP. Besides, XP soon will be not receiving security updates.
Run and buy Windows 7 before Windows 8 is released. Windows 8 is an abomination, and Seven will be supported until 2020, according to Microsoft.

A private equity bastard living off the flesh of others or a completely clueless political test-tube baby with an overdose of arrogance. Why continue giving legitimacy to these creatures from hell and the spectacle of apparent democracy? Stop voting. For those with an activist tinge: Free Bradly Manning.
Funny...while Ron Paul says that the GOP is not his party, 'not his party' uses his face and his heritage to get true liberals to vote for Romney. At least that's what I got when I watched the coverage of Mitt's enthronement.
Ron Paul never had a chance for winning the GOP nomination let alone the presidency for many reasons:
1. The majority of Americans are so ignorant of basic market economics and so accustomed to entitlements that they are viscerally repelled by Paul's libertarian/personal responsibilty/hard money message. The fact is, most Americans don't want to work for what they get.
2. Millions of Americans have been discarded by the fiat Ponzi scheme. They've lost everything and have nothing to lose. One would think Paul's message would resonate with them. See #1.
3. The US is so behind the 8 ball fiscally and financially, that returning to a hard money pay-as-you-go system would be a fatal transition. We have scammed the world for uncountable $trillions. Our finances make ordinary bankruptcy look like sucess. The minute we admit to what we have perpetrated onto the world we sign our collective death warrant. In for a penny, in for a pound. There's no retirement from the fiat Ponzi criminal syndicate.
While I agree with 1 and 2. You are wrong about #3. The "people" who have "scammed the world of trillions" can very clearly be found in a relative few financial houses and they are not all American, see Windsors, Rothschilds, Rockefeller, etc.
for someone who talks about people being "sheep" you should know better and see the corporate, fascist kleptocrats for who they are.
You've identified the guilty parties and I agree with you. Unfortunately the large majority of the victims of this giant scam will not be so well-informed or discriminating in their vengeful response. Anyone who materially benefited from the crime shall be found guilty. See Pol Pot's Cambodia.
I don't think so. If I remember correctly, the citizens of Pol Pot's Cambodia were not that well armed. You are dealing with a country that has been fighting endless (and rather pointless) wars since WWII. Lots of veterans around who are well-networked and very well trained. completely different situation.
I agree for those non-urban areas, but I am also concerned that certain countries that have nuclear ICBMs might get itchy trigger fingers, and I'm not counting out our iSREAL buddies either.
On point two.. those millions of Americans that have been discarded didn't know or understand what they were getting into and they wouldn't understand or didn't hear Ron Paul's message. Many of them never paid attention to what was going on in the first place, and they are definitely tuned out now.
Point replace fatal with brutal.
Of the two who actually have a chance of winning, one tells us explicitly that he wants to destroy what made America the most prosperous nation on the Earth, and cannot wait to have a second term to give him the "flexibility" he needs to fully implement all of his desires. The other is an idiot with no real direction or plan, who at most pays lip service to the free market. Which one will make us worse off?
"lip service to the free market"
Yes, the same free market where private owners and management run a company into the ground and then demand that the taxpayer pay back their creditors.
How about next time these fuckers run a company into the ground, they pack back the creditors with their own wealth.
Ah, the smell of fascism is strong in Tampa this morning.
You have the LEFT ball ... the RIGHT ball ... and if you vote for either you have ... the DICK in the middle.

Ron Paul as an Independent - Now !!
Good luck IF you can write in. HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR BALLOT?
Here in Texas, unless at least one third party candidate gets on the November Ballet as a write-in, it is over, Texans will be unable to write in Ron Paul. Per county voting officials.
Make no mistake, no write-in, no vote by me. I WAS 60 on July 26, 1952, and I have voted every general election since I could first vote at 20 years old (overseas absentee twice)
No write-in for the only man that has any idea of the constitution or sound money, and I am out of here quickly.
There are only 3 fucking choices Americans truly have:
1) What fucking flavor to get at Baskin-Robbins.
2) Which of the 600+ channels of oatmeal brained cable TV to watch.
3) What app to buy next for their iPhone with their SNAP money.
Canada loves Ron Paul too.
I just don't get it why people are so stupid and can't see through these BS elections. It's always the same promises, change, hope and now Romney will restore America. I know people here see it for what it is but the average person just doesn't get it. Reminds me of WWF wrestling when I was a kid. Whatever Vince wanted people to like he could convince them to like. Heck one week a guy was hated next the fans went nuts for them. People were convinced that was real too.
Great analogy.
Canada is no diffierent...Liberals or Conservatives and a Goldman Bank Governor to boot...and I am a Canuk. Thinking of starting a new political party...
Silver4me, why do you say Canada loves Ron Paul? A majority of Canadians have an entitlement attitude, are satisfied with substandard health care and dying while waiting months for medical treatment (but it's "universal"!!) and are totally clueless about monetary issues and don't care / have no knowledge that Canada sold off its gold holdings at fire sale prices over the past 15 years.
Just not sure what your basing that statement on?
we WORKED for what we're entitled to, we have SUPERIOR health to Americans and superior healthcare for a lower cost.
The only reason a person will die waiting is if an organ is not available and you can't AUCTION organs in America either so the insurance-takes-all scam in America DOES NOT garner any further benefit upon you in that case.
Canada LOVES RON PAUL because he's running IN AMERICA and would be good for Canada FROM THAT SIDE of the border.
Fear, mostly. Look at how many commentators here are going to hold their nose and vote for one ass clown because they are afraid of [policy] of the other, and this site contains a few basis points higher of awareness than just about everything else. They will do this even though it is widely acknowledged that voting changes nothing, since votes just elect ELECTORS who are pre-selected that actually vote for the presidential post.
Fear is a powerful motivator, and will override rational judgement every time. We are just wired that way, and it is painfully difficult to override it.
"Wizard's First Rule: people are stupid." Richard and Kahlan frowned even more. "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
". . . People need an enemy to feel a sense of purpose. It's easy to lead people when they have a sense of purpose. Sense of purpose is more important by far than the truth. In fact, truth has no bearing in this. Darken Rahl is providing them with an enemy, other than himself, a sense of purpose. People are stupid; they want to believe, so they do."

About to go tinfoil hat on you guys... what if the WWF was the training ground for the big show in how to control people?
Is that the Independent Party's motor I hear cranking up?
This (the US) is the best place on earth. We have some of the best minds in the world. Someday, soon, a great leader will emerge that will be better than Ron Paul. This will happen in our lifetime. You'll see.
I thought this was an interesting article regarding our two choices
