    • Ron Paul is consistent with his beliefs. Its not that hes picking on FEMA. He's just against all federal bearucracies Of any form. Wether domestically or or overseas. He understands that government interverntion in whatever form only complicates things instead of making things better.

    • This guy hammered the nail squarely on the head of the teabaggers and the republicans. Nicely stated and nicely handled. This is the kind of person we need down here in Alabama for governor, not some bought and paid for lacky.

      Yes, people like this who can talk back to the propaganda that the news sources spew as if it were fact is great! This guy tells it like it is without having to be abusive or combative. More of what we need on the public stage!

      I want to be as confident as you are. Much of what I see on the "news" is about name calling and blaming and not much about how we proceed (and no, I do not consider more tax cuts for the rich to be an alternative, much less worth discussing after 10 years of failure~!). This guy came back when the anchor spouted "the party line" he seemed taken aback and frankly, I counted him out, but then he came right back and said he had a different perspective. I think that has been rare, sadly, on either side.

      I agree and if you look at my profile page, you will find that I am Disenfranchized, I HAte both parties and I don't think either of them is doing a Damned thing for the folks that elected them to office to begin with... You are correct, to much childish finger pointing and not enough work going on... Things like this make me believe we are doomed and will soon be part of the NWO.... I see no other reason for these actions or lack thereof by our elected officials...

      I am consistently surprised how many people seem to have been so zapped of their strength that they are no longer willing to engage. You see the President's petition page? It may not be perfect, but it is a step towards a Social Media approach so we can express our ideas and gather support at a national level. What are other ideas can help?

    • Ron Paul looks like he's older than dirt, and that means there is a good possibility that Alzheimer's isn't far away -- the LAST thing we need is another Alzheimer's-riddled dolt in control of what's left of America (after the last one with Alzheimer's fukked it up so bad)!
      Pwr 2 the coherent peons! Just say no to Ron Paul!

    • Wait is Bernie Sanders running on the democratic ticket?....... No...

      Does the left have a nominee that hasn't proven himself a pathological liar?.... No......

      Does anyone support our continued military presence all over the world, so much so that our schools aren't near what they were just 10 years ago due to lack of funding......... Apparently......

      Is it okay to bomb people with drones all over the world, on basically a whim, no wait "bad intelligence" (that could in fact be corrupted for a number of reasons)........... Apparently.........

      Is it okay that our current president, the first "black" president has alienated himself so much from prominent African American figures like Cornell West, Tavis Smiley, and a few others can't stand his fake ass.............. Apparently.........

      (Here let's briefly touch on the African Americans he's straight turned his back on or who have turned their backs on him not including Jeremiah Wright;

      The list of black leaders shunned or dismissed by the White House includes former White House social secretary Desiree Rogers, former Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod, U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene, former green energy czar Van Jones, Sen. Roland Burris, Gov. David Patterson and would-be Senate candidate Harold Ford, as well as members of Congress Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters and Kendrick Meek..................

      David Patterson expressed frustration at Obama’s criticism of fellow black people. The governor claimed to be “especially surprised when people from our own community do it because we’ve been the greatest victim of it for centuries.”

      Patterson was referring to an interview with CBS News in which Obama called the allegations against Rangel “very troubling” and expressed his desire for Rangel to end “his career with dignity … my hope is that that happens.” (An ally of Rangel’s told Politico that the longtime congressman “doesn’t give a damn about what the president thinks about this.”)

      Shirley Sherrod was critical of the president, saying, “President Obama needs a history lesson on race.”

      Obama’s failure to assist Meek has rubbed black Florida Democrat Rep. Alcee Hastings the wrong way. Tthe Palm Beach Post reported Hasting’s displeasure with the president. “I personally am a bit put out by the mixed signals that are coming from the White House,” Hastings said. “President Obama is going to be on the ballot in 2012 … If Kendrick Meek is a United States senator or if Obama has substantially made an effort to try to make that happen, then the enthusiasm and the excitement of the base of the Democratic party will be plussed up.”

      Alvin Greene told The Daily Caller he has been disappointed with Obama’s lack of support for black candidates. “We all supported him in his election and in turn he owes us,” Greene said. “We are the reason he is where he is at. He needs to support us

      These instances are not anomalies. Last year, Obama forcefully discouraged Gov. Patterson from running for re-election in New York. In early 2010, he ordered Harold Ford, who was contemplating a primary challenge to New York Democrat Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, not to run. And when Senate Democrats worked to block then newly appointed Democratic Sen. Roland Burris from being seated, the president did not come to his defense — despite the fact that Burris was to take his vacated seat.

      While the rejected political figures are numerous, Obama has also lit into elements of black culture, calling Kanye West a “jackass” and calling African Americans “a mongrel” people. Not to mention a black unemployment rate drastically higher than the national average.

      Glenn Loury, the first tenured African-American professor at Harvard University, and current Brown University economics professor, told The DC that he expected all along that Obama’s presidency could be detrimental to black political power.

      “I have maintained for some time that Obama’s ascendancy could well mean less political influence for African Americans. I don’t necessarily fault the president for this — it goes with the territory if he wants to remain viable politically,” he wrote in an e-mail to TheDC. “I was not at all surprised to hear the president’s comment on Rangel … It’s par for the course. Moreover, it’s as much a tactic of separating himself from congressional Democrats, who are not popular, as it is a racial move.”

      Loury continued, saying that Obama has been less than a loyal to his African-American base.

      Alright there's more want to read it it's here http://dailycaller.com/2010/08/06/why-does-obama-hate-black-people/ )

      When Obama is further taking away your rights, taking advantage of his "legal" indiscriminate "right to kill" legislation on you will that be okay? ...................__________...............

      When you're labeled an "enemy combatant", indefinitely detained, denied habeas corpus, and your family isn't even notified (not likely but possible under current policies) will that be okay?........................________________.....................

      So you can "abort" your babies as were killing babies in other countries.... And locking up your crazy cousin because he "scared" someone...... Oh and don't forget locking up the African American male at a ratio that has to be like 5-1 against the European American male at least, over a fucking plant or plant derivative mind you....

      That's what Obama has to offer and more lies, as Beohner smiles looking at the budget that went 98% the way he wanted it to........

    • The Five Major Objectives of the John Birch Society. (circa 1974)

      1.Restore the complete independence of the United States.
      Isolationism. Anti-United Nations - fuck the rest of the World.
      2. Return to the Gold Standard.
      The U.S. would have a hard time trading with the rest of the World.
      3. Reduce the size of government by at least 50%.
      Grover Norquist's dream to shrink it to drown it in a bathtub!
      4. Withdraw American troops except for congressional declarations.
      This would promote anti-American factions to grow worldwide.
      5. Get government out of areas not authorized by the Constitution.
      The JBS is AGAINST education, healthcare AND Social Security!

      In closing his speech, Robert Welch was reiterating that there were Communists under EVERY rock, around EVERY corner and behind EVERY wall to bring to an end the United States of America! Yet the JBS NEVER saw Communist China as a threat! And who today is the REAL threat to the U.S.? Russia? Or as Michele Bachmann says, the U.S.S.R.! Or China?

      His last thoughts were to encourage TRUE PATRIOTS to stand together for the Ideals of the John Birch Society.

      Joseph Raymond "Joe" McCarthy would have been proud had he lived to see this speech delivered! (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957)

      When you hear Ron Paul speak of Objectivism this is what it means!

      fini

      fini

      That's all, folks!

      G'nite!

      Someone sure knows how to get the "Zeitgeist" badge around here.....

      To bad David Duke was a "Klansman", and Ron Paul is just the guy that would END the incarceration of tons of people (especially minorities) by legalizing, or at least decriminalizing drugs.....

      So yeah the ever popular "Ron Paul is a racist" assertion out the window.... Unless you want to bring up the "he thinks white people TOO can have businesses geared to the same race customers"... Much like the Latinos do in south Florida & Southern California....

      (personally wouldn't want to step into the "White" any business, and I seriously doubt he would either, but fair is fair, and "La Raza" has been making Latino {insert various business name} for a LONG time with no complaints....)

      Anonmaly, the John Birch Society is nothing but Klansmen in a suit and tie...without the "tats"..

      And when Ron talks about releasing nonviolent criminals if he were president, does that go AGAINST what he says that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHALL have NO LAWS dictating to the states what they would do to potheads?

      In other words, the HUGE prison industry of EACH state would be making the decision as to who goes free, correct?

      I say that IF he was successful and became president with a majority of congress behind him, the lobbyists for the prison industry would be leaping with joy over that fact! Because they would STRIP the Federal regulations that Mr. Obama has put in place to repeal those antiquated laws and the states would be free to do WHATEVER they like!

      Think about Texas as an example...how many prisons do you think they would love to have built there?

      Oh yeah...Texas....a SHINING example of how we would want our judicial system run!

      Right"

      Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

      Ron Paul has been in politics for a looong time and what has he done but make FINE speeches and NOTHING else!

      As he was being grilled by Tim Russert about all those Federal dollars Ron Paul sponsored AND received for the Gtreat State of Texas...BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of dollars, Tim asked him what his record on voting for those laws were. His answer? "I've NEVER voted for one Earmark!". And he's right. He just WRITES them and lets others vote so he can say he NEVER voted for one of them!

      HYPOCRITE, thy name is Ron Paul!

    • Does ANYONE here know who and what the John Birch Society is or stands for?

      ANYONE?

      I would be hardpressed if I had to choose between a John Birch member over someone like Mao Zedong as my Leader.

      Naaaaaaaaaaaaa.

      I would choose Chairman Mao.

      P.S. The JBS was, I believe, involved in the JFK assassination! They HATE the America you and I want.

      We listened to this in my high school history class (Along with Alice's Restaurant) before my history teacher got reprimanded.

      Chad Mitchell Trio The John Birch Society Lyrics:
      [By Michael Brown]

      Oh, we're meetin' at the courthouse at eight o'clock tonight
      You just walk in the door and take the first turn to the right
      We hope you will be careful, we'd hate to be bereft
      But we're taking down the names of everybody turning left
      Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
      Here to save our country from a communistic plot
      Join the John Birch Society, help us fill the ranks
      To get this movement started we need lots of tools and cranks
      Now there's no one that we're certain the Kremlin doesn't touch
      We think that Westbrook Pegler doth protest a bit too much
      We only hail the hero from whom we got our name
      We're not sure what he did but he's our hero just the same
      Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
      Socialism is the ism dismalest of all
      Join the John Birch Society, there's so much to do
      Have you heard they're serving vodka at the WCTU?
      Well you've heard about the agents that we've already named
      [ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/dlQ ]
      Well MPA has agents that are flatly unashamed
      We're after Rosie Clooney, we've gotten Pinky Lee
      And the day we get Red Skelton won't that be a victory
      Oh we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
      Norman Vincent Peale may think he's kidding us along
      But the John Birch Society knows he spilled the beans
      He keeps on preaching brotherhood, but we know what he means
      We'll teach you how to spot 'em in the cities or the sticks
      For even Jasper Junction is just full of Bolsheviks
      The CIA's subversive and so's the FCC
      there's no one left but thee and we, and we're not sure of thee
      Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
      Here to save our country from a communistic plot
      Join the John Birch Society holding off the Reds
      We'll use our hand and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads
      Do you want Justice Warren for your Commissar?
      Do you want Mrs. Krushchev in there with the DAR?
      You cannot trust your neighbor or even next of kin
      If mommie is a commie then you gotta turn her in
      Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
      Fighting for the right to fight the right fight for the Right
      Join the John Birch Society as we're marching on
      And we'll all be glad to see you when we're meeting in the John
      The John, the John Birch So- ci- i- teee.

      Thank goodness I went to school in Ohio where we learned about ACTUAL, FACTUAL American History that was rooted in reality. Not some wild tangient of a particular Party's propaganda that swayed the educational system.

      Back then school ALWAYS started the first Monday AFTER Labor Day. At that time, 43 years ago this coming Tuesday, I was entering into my last year of high school.

      Where does the time go?

      There were crazies in NJ too. I graduated high school 42 years ago and I remember a guy who kept his shotgun loaded and by the door in case any Russian submarines came up the Delaware river. The river was all of 20 feet deep after a rainy weekend but he was convinced the Russians were coming. He was a Bircher.

      New Joisey...the "butt" of jokes as much as Cleveland, Ohio!

      And I'll wager that almost all those who make fun of your State, have never seen it. They would be shocked if they were to visit it once in their lives before they die of the stupidity that infects their lives! And I always feel stupid calling others stuipid, since it's stupid to use the word stupid.

      Isn't that stupid? LOL

      BUT...New Jersey is a beautiful slice of America! More times than not I will hear people speak of how it must be terrible to reside in Northern or Eastern States. I was a resident of Tennessee for over 27 years and know MANY, what I call, Typical Tennesseans, that have NEVER travelled outside the county in which they were born! True! All true! They will be the first to tell you there is nothing like Tennessee in the whole, wide world and they have no reason to ever leave. Not even for a brief vacation!

      I have had many an argument with some very closed-minded people. There must be something about me that attracts so many of these individuals. Perhaps it's my lot in life to be provided opportunities to open their minds? I haven't a clue as to why this is. After relocating back to Ohio, there are some glaring differences I have noticed upon my return. I can't watch mold grow before my eyes as it does in the South. The heat AND humidity is unbelievable to comprehend in the South. One must be cautious when purchasing bread or dairy products as they may already be starting to mold! The insect population is out of control. Why even in the winter you can be assaulted by all sorts of creepy, crawly critters of many species. I haven't had one reason to buy a fly-swatter since moving back to Ohio eleven years ago.

      And don't get me started on the subject of politics and the South. LOL! You earlier spoke of how the JBS was a topic of discussion in school during the time you were enrolled as you were growing up and how some people were prepared for an invasion of Russians. Well, there are those in the South that are entrenched in their homes waiting for the Northern hordes to attack AGAIN. They are still in a state of readiness for the Yankee invasion of their Beloved Homeland!

      Oh...I forgot to mention that even with the indoctrination song to the JBS, wasn't it so apropos that it actually had the opposite effect on you? And speaking of Arlo Guthire, I am amazed to see so many young and old that are not aware that on every Thanksgiving Day at EXACTLY 12 O'Clock P.M., radio stations throughout the Natiion playes the ENTIRE Alice's Restaurant album! Since Arlo's "adventure just so happened on a Thanksgiving Day...

      And every year I tune in.

      Now, the BIG diiference between the JBS song and Arlo's is one is very SERIOUS and the other?

      Why, it's satrical comedy!

      Odd how paths intertwine. When my grandfather came to this country from England, he got a job as a draftsman with United States Steel and was sent to Ohio. He did not stay there long because USS opened a wire rope plant in Trenton NJ and he was transferred there. I have lived in NJ most of my life except for a few years in Pennsylvania. Everyone thinks of NJ in terms of Newark and Paterson, the industrial armpit. Where I live we still have native trout in the streams.

      BTW there is another version of Alice's Restaurant that is not to my knowledge on vinyl called The Rainbow Roach Affair or The Spy Tingler. It is worth looking for.

    • He's AGAINST a woman's RIGHT to abortion. He will speak around that "tree" about what HE believes...BUT he's against it...PERIOD! And then he "talks" about "back in the day" he SAW abortions being performed....before Roe v Wade.

      Yeah..when it was against the law....but listen to me now...he is not for abortions.

      Now I ask my fellow Current commenters, does Ron Paul sound like the kind of person you would want to be in the White House?

      You can tell a lot about who a man calls someone a friend. His "friends" are extremely radical. So much so that many of you would have your heads spin off your shoulders if you knew how radical Ron Paul truly is.

      Ron Paul is NOT my "friend"!!!

      As a matter of fact, I would call him my "enemy".

      He thinks the Constitution protect the rights of the many from the rights of the few!

      But it's JUST the opposite!

      The Constitution was written to protect the FEW from the MANY!

      So many Libertarians fail to understand that. And Republicans. And quite a few Democrats, too!

      Lordy, Lordy, Lordy!!!

      And I'm NOT religious!

      Think about it. Three people live in a small town. One is black and the other two white. The two white guys propose a bill to keep black people from swimming in the town pool. By a Libertarian's point of view, if they vote on that law and the two white guys vote to deny the black guy the right to swim in that town pool...it becomes law.

      That's why Rand, Ron's son, says it's a PRIVATE business's RIGHT to DENY ANYONE their services!!!!!!

      The apple "Son" didn't fall far from the "Daddy" apple tree!

      Ron Paul "speaks" in "tongues"!

      As in he says one thing but means SOMETHING COMPLETELY different than what you think he means!

      (Repost Warning!)

      If we were to live in a Libertarian World, there would be NO fire or police departments as we know them today because Ron Paul calls them a "socialistic" endeavor. If you were to become ill or have an injury and no money to pay for hospital services, you're shit out of luck. If you have children you will need to find a school that you can afford to send them to because there would be NO public schools. If you were to be involved in a car accident, there would be NO ambulance to call for help unless you could afford to pay a private company for their services. Your water and sewage treatment plants would be privately owned since there would not be a publically supported system in place. There would not be streets or traffic signals PUBLICALLY supported because Libertarians feel that is a social issue, too. Local governments would not exist to install and maintain them because there would not exist a social system for that purpose. Public roads would not exist or be maintained by local, county, state or federal entities because that smacks of socialism, too.

      Whatever you see in the public sector that REQUIRES support through taxation, a Libertarian is against. Because it's a form of socialism to expect all of the government entities to build or maintain, or provide services, period.

      All one needs to do is replace the word public with private and then figure out how much that service will cost you PERSONALLY. Imagine what the world would look like?

      Need a service? How much are you willing to pay a private company to provide it. This is Libertarianism. You need something? Pay for it. No matter what it is.

      Think about if you were traveling to another state and didn't know who to call or how much they charged for a service you required? Or if you needed a cop. Or your car caught on fire and you needed a fire service to come and put the flames out.. You'd have to one, figure out who to call and then two, negotiate how much you would be willing to pay for their services rendered. If they felt like bartering the price they charge. These are all taxpayer government supported public service entities now. But they would all be customer-paid privately held service companies under a Libertarian.

      Think cab company. You need a ride, you call a cab and they tell you how much it costs for them to drive you ten miles. Now, replace cab with the word ambulance.

      And as Ron Paul states, it's either or....like a pregnant woman. Either she's pregnant or not...she can't be a little pregnant. There is no room for partial public and most private services. Either you're a Libertarian all the way or you're not.

      Uniformity would be tossed out the window. Continuity would not exist from town to town or state to state.

      Me? I'd rather be able to pick up a phone and dial 911 universally anywhere in this country if an emergency should arise.

      See how this would work out in a Libertarian society?

      Pt.4 Ron Paul speaks at the John Birch Society 50th Anniversary 2008

      Ron Paul believes that the U.S.S.R. was destroyed bu their little conflict with Afghanistan...

      Then why was the John Birch Society worried about them if they couldn't take on a backwards, backwater country?

      That did not end the Soviet Union! Th people got tired of seeing the world live and have fun and they just worked, drank vodka and slept. Repeat and rinse.

      'Twas the Beatles that brought the Mighty Soveit Union down!

    • Pt.3 Ron Paul speaks at the John Birch Society 50th Anniversary 2008.

      In this video Ron Paul speaks about immunizations should not be mandatory. If we were to adopt this concept, disease would become RAMPANT again!

      I can see measles, chicken pox and mumps making a return to afflict society again!

      Influenza....like the Spanish Flu could decimate our population in no time!

      Ron Paul speaks of Larry McDonald as a dear friend.

      Larry McDonald was a conservative Democrat. He was active in numerous civic organizations and maintained a very conservative voting record in Congress. He was known for his staunch opposition to communism and believed in long standing covert efforts by powerful U.S. groups to bring about a socialist world government. He was the second president of the John Birch Society. and also a cousin of General George S. Patton.

      In 1974, McDonald ran for Congress against incumbent John W. Davis in the Democratic primary as a conservative who was opposed to mandatory federal school integration programs. McDonald hewed to a consistently conservative line on issues such as foreign policy, defense spending, fiscal restraint, States rights, Gun rights, and Pro-life. Given his Old Right and Southern views he was more conservative than the Republican party. In fact, one scoring method published in the American Journal of Political Science named him the second most conservative member of either chamber of Congress between 1937 and 2002. Behind only Ron Paul.

      McDonald admired Senator Joseph McCarthy and was a member of the Joseph McCarthy Foundation. McDonald called the welfare state a "disaster" and favored phasing control of the Great Society programs over to the states to operate and run. He also favored cuts to foreign aid, saying "To me, foreign aid is an area that you not only can cut but you could take a chainsaw to in terms of reductions.

      McDonald also co-sponsored a bill 'expressing the sense of the Congress that homosexual acts and the class of individuals who advocate such conduct shall never receive special consideration or a protected status under law'.

      McDonald also opposed the establishment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, saying the FBI had evidence that King "was associated with and being manipulated by communists and secret communist agents". It was reported that McDonald had "about 200" guns stockpiled in his official district residence.

      McDonald was frequently opposed by members of his own party, once remarking that "The National Democratic Party is a bunch of kooks" but that he had "no problems" with Georgia or 7th District Democrats However, in 1978, the Seventh District Democratic Committee voted, 10–8–1, to pass a resolution to "censure" McDonald "for the dishonorable and despicable act of calling himself a Democrat.

    • Pt.2 Ron Paul speaks at the John Birch Society 50th Anniversary 2008.

      SUBTERFUGE.....Part 2.

      First Ron Paul talks about how freedom is being lost to a wealthy society....but what in ALL that's HOLY does Libertarians stand for if it ISN'T the ability for them to BUILD wealth?

      They do NOT want to SHARE their wealth with the country!

      They are AGAINST paying taxes that go to maintaining SOCIETY as we know it!

      Their Ideasl are "Every man is on his OWN"!!!!

      NO Social Security......NO MediCare......NO supporting of the military....either by paying taxes OR joining the military! They think it's for IDIOTS to go off to fight for America.

      Now, I understand that unnecessary wars are insane....BUT....if you LISTEN to Ron Paul, he's against even that. He is for hiring mercenaries to fight for his rights.

      After all, that is what they really stand for...HIRE dumbasses to do what YOU do not want to do!!!!

      My experience has been that a lot of independents and so-called liberals support him without actually knowing what his positions are ... because he wants to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq. They don't know the whole story about him. When you explain to them his positions on abortion, race, social programs, I find so many people just kind of go, "ohhhhh..."

      "Dr. Ron Paul, Texas congressman and 2008 Republican presidential candidate, was the featured speaker Saturday evening, October 4 on the final day of the John Birch Society's 50th Anniversary Celebration. The topic of his keynote address was "Restoring the Republic: Lessons From a Presidential Campaign," in which he lectured the audience on how our republic can be restored with groups such as the John Birch Society (JBS) and his own Campaign for Liberty leading the way.".

      That's his BIGGEST lie of all! Well, to a pothead, that is.

      I tell you now, that if he EVER gets elected president, the laws against pot will be harsher!

      Because with more prisoners you'll need MORE jails.

      He says that it would be up to States Rights on the issue. What that means is if YOUR State decides it's a felony punishable by serving "life" for having one reefer stick...so be it in his book!

      As he would say, "Well, the State HAS that RIGHT!", as your arse is being put on the bus to your new home.

      Talk about the "Road to Perdition"!

    • Ron Paul endorses . . . the John Birch Society
      Posted by Jim Addison

      Published: April 5, 2008 - 4:58 AM Yes, Ron Paul is still running for the Republican nomination, and still declines to endorse John McCain. But he finds the time to salute one of the oldest fringe conspiracy-nut organizations around, the John Birch Society. And you thought he wasn't nuttier than a Snickers™ Bar? Neil Stevens reports at Red State:

      No, Ron Paul won't endorse the man who has earned the endorsement of the Republican Party's voters, but he will and has endorsed the John Birch Society. Yes, that John Birch Society. The one that accused President Eisenhower of being a Communist. The one that William F. Buckley, whom many of us remember today, rightly threw out of the conservative movement.

      Dr. Paul stated, "The John Birch Society is a great patriotic organization featuring an educational program solidly based on constitutional principles. I congratulate the Society in this, its 50th year. I wish them continued success and endorse their untiring efforts to foster 'less government, more responsibility ... and with God's help ... a better world.'"

      Dr. Paul has also agreed to be the keynote speaker at the Society's 50th anniversary celebration, Oct. 2-5, in Appleton.

      The time has come to stop distinguishing Ron Paul from his tin foil hatted supporters. He is not above them, he is of them. He agrees with them, he joins them in their gatherings, and he cheers them in their spreading of nutty conspiracy theories. This is the real Ron Paul.

      Do we want this in our party? I say no. On today, the memorial day of William F. Buckley, we should excuse Paul from our political movement once and for all, just as he threw out the Birchers once upon a time.

      Read the full post at the link provided. I'm with Neil. Paul is not quite as vile as David Duke, but when he's courting the JBS, he's in the neighborhood. Let him stay and play with those he more closely agrees with.

      They're fanatacists! And when someone speaks of the John Birch Society, that's asking for REAL trouble.

      Haven't you noticed how Ron Paul devotees are extreme in their protection of Ron Paul? More so than ANY Obamamaniac!

      There is one HUGE difference between Heinlein and Hubbard. Heinlein wrote about crazy science fiction. Hubbard WAS crazy and wrote science fiction!

      “There is only one way, really, to get into a state of living, and that's live! There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it. And yet it has to be said.”
      - L. Ron Hubbard

      I'll bet he ripped that off the back of a brothel's bathroom door! Some enterprizing prostitute probably had an epiphany one night between tricks and saw life in it's true, raw nature as she was sitting on the "throne of reality" and scrawled that on a stall door! If I want to chat with a philosopher, I'll go down to the corner and ask a "Lady of the Night"!

      They know what drives the psyche of men.
