You are mistaken. Ron Paul is not for privatizing everything. Thought he does believe in the power of allocation through free market economics he also believes that our interventionalist policies need to be changed. If we wernt spending so damn much in Iraq libya and Aghanastan I think we could take care of those folks in Alabama much more effectively. Also I think it is ignorant for you to assume that because he believes in free markets he would let a natural disaster go without assistance if he were president.

RUN RON RUN!

Altho Trump may have just lost any hope with the religious right after his barrage of cursing in Vegas...

That suggestion has my vote

I think they have left us no other choice!

Christians by definition are not such a diverse group, as the essential principles of the living Christ within each govern their entire lives. Those radical religious extremists and activists, many of who cloak themselves in the whitewashing name of Christianity, are a vast and very diverse group!

Common, yes in theory I agree that faith with the Christ as guide is the common uniting factor for Christians - if they would just stick to that. But there is a reason why there are so many denominations - different ways to get to the same goal - and there are many who choose to hate certain ones while professing great devotion for their own little turf.

And therefore, since hate is antithetical to Christ principles, doesn't this preclude haters from being Christians?

Yes, I say that often. Christ's example was not violence but rather love and understanding. When a person of any religion is filled with hate, he ceases to be a practicing (fill in the blank). The star wars movies captured this perfectly - that some people wind up on the dark side of religion, often with valid reasons. But the move to hatred needs to be often discussed in Church - and I never hear such things. When religion becomes an addiction, the junkie has to fill the void with something.

Got one!

Of course they would, they can't stand the truth!

I was just about to point that out.

But I would take it a step further. What makes them think that he's actually going to do what he says he will?

Positions of power change people, and everything about Ron's personality suggests to me that he would just swing hard-right once he was in office.

The realities of the job change you.

Absolutely correct!

So what is the solution then, I mean seriously kenny, when we dare to think about it, if what you say is true, and if we can't go out there and just gun down the overlords, what real options do we have? How do we get the change we want and need? How DO we end the reign of terror being wrought by the Military Industrial Complex?

ron paul has a nearly 40 year track record of doing exactly what he says and never wavering. i support dr. paul wholeheartedly and he is clearly the only choice for actually changing this country. however, if he were to do as you say and swing hard right and completely change (which i don't see how you can say that what with his record and all), then the phrase "when peaceful revolution is made impossible, violent revolution is made inevitable", comes to mind.

first, this is his 3rd run for president. you make it sound like he's been running every election for a long time. second, as commander in chief he can do a lot. and any assassination attempt in this day and age would be seen right through and we would know there was no lone nut. and... having dr. paul in the bully pulpit of the highest office, attitudes would probably start to change and you might actually be able to smoke whatever it is you want to smoke in the near future. this country gave the liar obama a chance. how about giving a guy with a 30+ year track record a chance before we devolve into all out revolution.

That's up too the people when they have finally had enough, those of us that have had enough already, can't do it without the majority of the people. I think you have seen the numbers now showing up in Wisconsin, Ohio and elsewhere. But we need hundreds of times that amount, and that day is coming i feel it in my bones.

Now that was a nice attempt to try and sway whoever you were trying to sway, but he has a ghost of a chance of actually making it. Won't happen, and your only fooling yourself in believing it's possible. You keep forgetting who's in charge, thats a key point!
And those same puppet masters run the Media, and there is video tape that won't go away that will be produced for your consumption, 30 years of politics and supporting things that were popular back then would destroy Mr. Paul and you should know that.

i haven't forgotten who's in charge, it's one of the few things where you and i can agree. however, if the people woke up and put their support behind a man who walks the walk and talks the talk then the people could take their country back. i'm still hoping for a peaceful revolution.

not sure what you're getting at with the video tape comment???

The video tape is in reference where somewhere as long as Ron Paul has been in politics that reveals some skeleton in the closet.

Another thing to add to his shitty ideas column. Wasn't it his insane son who was against civil rights?
Oh and we could also add his apparent idolization of Ayn Rand.
Lest we forget from our own experiences, the president can have all the ideas they want but without congress and the senate backing them up they can't do much.

...would have to get rid of the lobbyist in congress and give the power back to the people, before any of this would happen!!

Are you married? Have a daughter or sister? Cuz Ron Paul doesn't believe in abortion even if the mother's life/health is in danger. He also doesn't believe in mercy abortions of severely deformed fetuses.

I remember back in the 60's when everyone made a big deal about "payola". People were taking money under the table from corporations to influence their decisions. Payola is the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of something of value for the purpose of influencing the action of an official in the discharge of his or her public or legal duties.. It was a huge scandal and destroyed the carriers of many people.
The irony is the payola scandal didn't involve politicians it was about Dick Clark and other DJs being influenced by record companies.
Lobbying is illegal. To offer or provide payment in order to persuade someone with a responsibility to betray that responsibility is known as seeking Undue Influence over that person's actions. We need to stand up and shout to remove this undue influence before our collective voices are drowned out by the din of corpirate run media.

That would also apply to everyone on the cons shortlist. I just want to convince the rethuglicans to throw their ballots to him to fragment their base.

Icksnay on the he can't inway. This libertarian / Randian wing will be the death of the Rethuglican party as we know it. They push the Greens to take from the Dems, let's support Ron Paul.* wink wink.

No he didn't. He donated all the money from his campaign to a charity that promotes civil liberties.

http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/ron_paul_launches_campaign_for_liberty/

No he didn't.

(Read The link) He donated his "war chest". "War chest" being the official term they use for "all the funds a politician raises during campaigning."

Don't be an idiot. Much of the $17 Million got spent in the 4th Quarter as per his FEC expense report. some was spent on air-time buys, and on transportation, printing, signs, salaries, office rent and equipment, etc. Some did go to starting the organization Dagum mentioned.

Christ and God himself would be kicked off of the playground by that standard.

Did you just get a blowjob in church or something and now you feel guilty?

why do you only come out and psot on articles involving anything related to homosexuality? any other interists or is this your one burning hatred?

Right on Schnookums! Some to many of the points in Pauls agenda are positive for the greater common good and a better future. We merely need to support those issues without supporting his cancerous ideas.

I hope your right. A sure win for Obama!!

maybe the myans were on to something....

The Mayans predicted December 21st of 2012....

I see you love WAR

HAHA! six months ago my comment would have been +12 but now that MTV has taken over... nothin but trolls, current is just propaganda now. enjoy it

No I don't. That's why I didn't like BUSH.

But, if you were a good Christian and believed in Objectivism you and everyone would be rich.

I believe there was something called the "Social gospel" a social justice movement in Christianity that was strong in the 1930's during the golden age of progressivism. But it died out, as most liberals are now atheists Leaving only one Political movement within Christianity.

Your analysis reveals the fact that very few of the religious right are truly Christians, as very few Republicans are truly conservative!

I had my sarcastic hat on for that.

Ah, that's because Jesus was a Jew not a Christian.

Very good write up simplecj...

Christians are not surpposed to live in fear either...but they sure seem to wallow in it every chance they get.

It is funny how many Christians think Jesus was a Christian, isn't it?

the lack of legitimate canidates means any half ass canidate they pull from the back woods is given the apperence of legitimacy. I think Its every thinking persons duty to call out the backwoods fringe before they can get too much steam.

Not so Ya can still eat the chicken. Not so with Paul.

Agree. I think that he is waiting til after election. Probably does not want to lose what church vote he has coming. Not all church folks are against gays but enough are vocal about it so I doubt Obama will risk it until second term. I bet he'll risk a few things during his second term, should he be re-elected. Obama is still the best bet for those of us concerned about upholding and expanding civil rights.

Scared of an Idiot? I seriously doubt that.

Yep, they have been gearing up the propaganda ever since he mentioned he might run.

How is voting to end "don't ask, don't tell "(DADT), ignorant? You sound like a hate filled homophobe.

you are out to get Ron paul....
with your other miss informing tittles about ron
go f your self with your with you miss information

You sound like a JackAss that can't read between the lines!!! -+d!!!!

I am out to get No one... I just agree with the article, Sh*tHead!!!! -+d!!!!

You mean I sound like a Republican??? Oh My!!!!

Why's that?

we remember all the times he voted to keep it going, till it become a politcaly positive move for him to vote to repeal it. We can see the knife in the other hand just waiting for us to turn our backs.
