The point of the article is that many liberals presume that he is because of his anti-war stance and his intent to repeal drug laws. He is a social conservative and many liberals/democrats never look past the surface to see what he's really about; and it ain't pretty. I will continue exposing his true views which are antithetical to progressive policies.

exactly.

As soon as a better canidate enters the race, you'll stop hearing about him. Right now there are none.

How is not wanting to attack every dictator with as funny hat anti DEFENSE?

The problem I have is if our country was attacked again, would he defend us. Would he go after the attackers.

That goes to show how much you've actually listened to the man speak before making judgements about him.

Ron Paul is a liar, dangerous. I have listened to him. He believes everyone should protect their own country. If we had another 911 he would not go after Al Qaeda, a Bin Laden. This would make us look weak. If an ally was attacked by a more powerfull country we should help our ally or soon we would have none. I would like to never see another war but it has not been in the history of man. This is only on war. His beliefs would take us back in time. If you don't see this you have not listened to him.

Ron Paul voted to pursue Osama Bin Laden. You are grossly misled on much of the agenda of the Military Industrial Complex.

Paul may have voted to pursue Bin Laden after 911 under Bush which meant Congress voted to start the war in Afghanistan. Bush gave up finding him. He said he didn't know where he was and wasn't concerned.
The Commander-in Chief, Barack Obama. gave the order on Bin Ladin. Congress or Paul was not informed till it was all over. None of this changes the fact Paul will not be POTUS.

I guess in Canada folks need tons of socks.

I am not familiar with David_H's strong libertarian background on here (he was never bullheaded in discussions with me), and I've been around for a while. (Guess I missed something).

However, I do know that David_H wrote eloquently and courteously. I have had many discussions with him on here both in private and on the threads... Many times we disagreed, but always remained civil and took something away. Sorry, but regardless of his label, he's a friend to me.

And I would encourage people to look less at labels and simply associating with those who share similar viewpoints, and instead really attempt to reach out to those who go against the grain of what we often arbitrarily deem "right." None of us are perfect. Always strive to take the high-road in a discussion to keep it civil, it will always go farther.

(Edited)

Well....I'm very happy for you then!

But I wouldn't give him the time of day.

And whoever Libertarian09 was? He is no more.

Until he reguritates back here under another "assumed" name.

The person whom you are speaking of I have never met...virtually here. But the one I speak of was insulting and chock full of rudeness.

I wish I had met the person you know, but...for me, that individual does not exist.

Excellent advice, Jake.
Yes, "look less at labels", and do not judge someone you've never even spoken to, in the first place.
I'm not a Libertarian and I'm not perfect either, but I am disgusted at the level of on-going hatred towards Ron Paul's supporters; it's *downright* disturbing.

HA! Great white north maybe Paul should go there ;-)

But seriously out of the 3 or so years I've been blogging, I have only met 2 foam at the mouth histrionics prone Canadian individuals and 2 europeans. The rest are home grown, why is that? Must be the government cheese :-)

"Why is that?"

Hmmmm.. Well, if you're going to "go there", let's all keep in mind that the last "homegrown one" (American) which showed up here on Current was from New York, and it was the *most* unhinged one I've ever seen in my 10 years of blogging.

Thank goodness Current Moderation deleted it, quickly; I tip my *hat* to that mod.

But, maybe we shouldn't generalize or judge people's behaviors by where they are from, because that would be like saying, "All New Yorkers are rude."

To a T squared!

Sometimes there's really no explanation for what occurs. It's just the way it is. And with the person we're discussing, it hasn't worked out between us. No rhyme nor reason. It wasn't meant to be. But I do lean towards the motto of, "I'm OK and you're OK" philosophy and let bygones be bygones. but when they take it to the next level by tossing out insults....? I write their name down on a piece of paper and draw a line through it.

I'm done with them.

Nothing more.....nothing less.

Now, I could share with you the correspondence that "he" has sent to me, but what's the point? I have no animosity towards "him".

All I ask is for him the leave me alone and I will do likewise with "him".

'Nuff said on this subject.

Turn the page, please.

" -- so I don't understand why you kicked off the discussion in the first place by posting a mocking picture of an absent commenter if it was not intended to invite a response."

Because HIS FIRST post that was directed towards moi was removed prior to your reading it? It's all I have for an answer to your query.

Please check your PMs....and then no more......we BOTH will have turned that "page" for the FINAL TIME!

Most repectfully,

Wildly Mild...Buckeye Bill

Bravo! Well constructed statement and thought! You are so right on so many points! ^'d

Ooh-ooh, let's call him the anti-liberal ... or since we are PROgressive, we could call him DIgressive :-) .........

Pwr 2 the progressive 99%! LIBERAL lobotomies for all digressives!

Subgressive.

Perfect! One step below DIgressive :-)!!!

Bingo

Thank you, tverdell!

LOL. It seems that these days anyone to the left of the screaming, Obama-hating, gun-toting, fundamentalists is a liberal. I guess that now makes us some 85-90% of the population. Should we celebrate yet?

Not me.

"EVERYONE" is aware of it, but no one else is doing anything about it including your supreme leader Obummer! I mean Goldman-Sacks gives him a Million $$$ and he turns around and gives them 13 Billion. Sounds like business as usual to me!

Dude...I've been supporting Ron Paul since his 2008 campaign and am an Independent. The monstrosity I was talking about is Big Government, the mechanism by which the corporate elite exploit us and corrupt the markets. I think you just misunderstood my post.

I guess this explains why so many bought Obama's BS last go around!

You just did what you accuse others of doing.
Ron Paul is a lying racist turd. I don't have to personally attack you to tell you that.
It does seem of late as realization of reality sets in many Ron Paul supporters seem to be a little agitated and defensive. But that is quite normal when your guy starts to fade.

"Most of us just want to see everyone challenge their own candidates on the very valid issues Paul raises."

I want my candidates to address the issues just as much as you do, but I don't see a RP being the catalyst to this. We need a national awakening, and Libertarian principles are not what is called for. The last thing we need are ideological fundamentalists. Look at the Tea Party. I know a lot of Libertarians, one is my best friend, but even he agrees at the end the day what he wants is to be rid of mandates, and burdens that are what keep us civilized, even in the sorry condition we are in.

Addicted to truth. Paul is a liar and a phony. Of course, you would know that if you actually bothered to read the article, or the other objective critques of Paul all over the mass media. I will continue to tell the truth right up untill the election exposing each and every lie on liberal sites like this untill liberals understand that Paul is dangerous to animals , children and all living things.

The post you are referring to was a post I pulled because Duzins warned the Paulbots to stick to the topic, which they refused to do and continued their PERONAL attacks upon me.I am not insecure about the basic foundations of what I believe and will defend them to the death. Only the insecure persist upon personal attacks when they have no other defense. Ron Paul is a liar and phony and I will keep posting the truth no matter what . But I will not be ganged up on and tag teamed by the roving band of socks who were savagely assassinating my character, instead of addressing the issues presented in the thread. Which was that Ron Paul is a liar and a phony. I repeat, Ron Paul is a liar and a phony. Prove he's not. Stick to the topic, prove to me and everyone else that Paul never said the 16 things that prove he's not a liberal. THAT is the topic.

"the biggest phoney the white house has ever seen"?!?! Are you for real, have you not studied any of our past presidents? Let's share a few quotes real fast, "I am not a crook!" "I never had sexual relations with that woman." "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction." "Trickle down economics." "Operation Saudi Freedom is not about oil." Do you really need more?! I can pull a quote from EVERY SINGLE president we have ever had that proves they lie! Most even admit with remorse before the ends of their terms that they lied(Woodrow Wilson per example). Take your unfactual rhetoric elsewhere please... many of us are very tired of wasting our energy countering your BS statements and sharing the real truth to prevent you from poisoning the minds of ignorant readers.

David_H Christ! It's so silly how delusional rhetoric is stinking up the place, isn't it?

Right, David_H?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Liberturdian Paulturds are stinking up the place today! And David_H is leading the parade!

"ganged up on and tag teamed by the roving band of socks"?? That's incorrect. I was on that thread, and there was NO "band of socks". I only saw 1 sock.

Okay, one nasty sock and 2 sock enablers.

He represents the Nutbag Party. I wonder if the oh so coservative right realize that many of the Founding Fathers were Fre Masons and that many of the Ideals for the Declration of Independance and the Constitution spring from that group? Just sayin. +^d

I just received a long rambling response from Libertarian09 in why he supports Paul from an earlier thread where I asked his supporters why they support him. We could talk until we are blue in the face and it will not register. He just doesn't get that Paul wants to destroy the federal government and allow each State to enact its own laws no matter how draconian. He also still believes that he is for gay marriage and is not a racist. He will never remove his blinders.

And the freemasons began as the knights' templar, and the knights' templar believed in WITCHES! My father was a Mason -- he is where I got my wiccan roots :-).

Pwr 2 the witchy 99%! LIBERAL lobotomies for Ron Paul and his paulomatons!

I love the Wicca's path of spirituality. Christians would do well to notice how many of their high holy days coinside with the pagen high feast days.
