The Libertarian Thread

[AllThingsComic]

Everybody is, most people don't realize it.

I don't care about myself, you or anybody, I'm worried about my kids and thier kids and your kids. They are the ones who are gonna feel the real effects of all this.

 

[bored]

Ron Paul will never be president because most of the people who know about him just know that his supporters are annoying.

 

[AllThingsComic]

Oh well if caring enough about mine and the rest of the children and thier children is annoying, so be it. At least Paul voters are passionate and not just sheep following the rest of the herd just because some sheepdog is herding us all into one pen.

What if you truely believe in either of those parties? Its not their fault.

If you truely fall into either of those, that's fine. But, alot of people don't. They vote for who they are told to vote for.

Ron Paul will never be president because most of the people who know about him just know that his supporters are annoying.

To be fair, most presidential candidate supporters are annoying.

You can care without openly defacing everything with another candidate's name on it. You can care without calling anyone who disagrees with any minor aspect of his platform "ignorant", or "a sheep", or any other thing I've heard from the Paulites that abound at KU, where I go to school. His supporters that I've come into contact with annoy me beyond words. They accept everything they hear from him without question, and tell it to others like it is gospel. And then they have the nerve to call others "sheep".

 

[AllThingsComic]

I take everything I read or hear with a grain of salt and I have always just voted for my party because it was "my party" look what that got me, 8 years of war and America going to pot.

Well hell bored, that happens here on almost a minute by minute basis........I was told I had blind folds on a few days ago, and I have't even made a decision yet because its still an open field to me.... BTW, it was because I disagreed with the guy and his generalizations.....Thats just how politics is....

I hope MySpace implements that rule they were talking about where you can block certain users bulletins. I'm more for Ron Paul than anyone else at this point, as he supports the FairTax, but the vast majority of his supporters are ridiculous and only backing him because their friends think he's cool. Ask one a question and they'll respond with a YouTube video or "...because he's the man! Yeah!"

 

[AllThingsComic]

I don't bombard anyone with my political views. I don't refer anyone to youtube or try and get them to donate any money. I studied up on Dr. Paul and what he stands for and brings to his presidential election bid, and his ideals match mine 100%. When someone says all Ron Paul supporters are nutbags and annoying and all that, I take offense. I have conducted myself pretty well with all I have debated on the Ron Paul matter, I think anyway. People have brought up subjects like Dr. Paul is a joke and just a court jester and when I brought up important issues he stood for and asked why would this person say he was comical, I did not get any legitmate reasons he was called those names.

Let me clarify my reasons for calling Ron a court jester. I was talking about his perception through out the rest of the Republican party....as far as any of the GOP or any of the real candidates are concerned, he is a ****ing clown shoe and is simply taking up space...as far as the newsletters are concerned, my opinion is that Ron had full knowledge of what they said and is simply trying to cover his racist arse

 

[AllThingsComic]

But the entire race, both republican and democratic party is one big circus. I still see no reason for him being a joke, what political reasons are there, besides the so called preception of him? What proposal has he brought forth to actually qualify him as a jester? In my opinion, out of all these morons running for President, he's the only one who is actually saying something.

 

[BlackLantern]

In this circus, as you call it, perception is reality.....People view Ron as being "out there" already, so even when he presents good, valid ideas, which he has....no one is really going to listen

 

[AllThingsComic]

I don't really think people see him as out there as so much as not listening to the ideals and intricacies behind his ideas. They only here "Paul wants to do this" and "Paul wants to do that", but can't get past the idea and listen to the reasons for it. The majority of people merely dismiss him without even truly knowing what is going on and that's the only reason I say sheep, please do not take that as a direct insult at you, that's not my intention.

That's no excuse. Most of the "Dr. Paul" fans I've met in person take every negative aspect of partisan/campaign politics to an incredibly immature extreme.

 

[AllThingsComic]

I truly do not believe Dr. Paul is a racist in any way shape or form. I am usually a pretty good judge of character and I just do not get that vibe from him.

 

[DACrowe]

Aw, nuts and here I thought we were gonna go back to the Industrial Revolution days if he won....child labor was so close to returning.

<Que insults to liberals.>

It is very easy to pretend to be a libertarian.

Sorry, but the JOKE is something that goes like this. A goverment shouldnt tell you where your child should go to school. You as a parent know where your kid needs to go to school. No that to me is a pure fning joke simply put. If your telling me the goverment doesnt know what a kid needs to be educated on and where, but a parent does(half of americas parents rarely see there children) but they know whats best. Why not leave it up to the kid. Say he starts school when he can rationally make a discission on what he wants to do at say like age 16. He begins Kindergarden lives at home until almost 40 when hes done with college. You cant tell me govt doesnt know whats best but a parent does, cause its their child. Only the child knows whats best for him. Simply put.

His lowering of taxes is a joke as well. I dont deserve to have the same tax as someone making millions more than I do. He they need to increase taxes for those who are classified above middle class and keep taxes fine for middle class and lower.

A joke to say we need a military to man our boreders 24.7. from sea to shining sea from canada north to mexico south. Thats where a military belongs. No where else. The man needs to shut up. Military needs to be spread out, but this country does not need men on a beach watching for an invasion 24.7 for years to come.

Wow, you are really clueless

It's easy to pretent to be anything. That's why we have Bush for 8 years

 

[bell110]

Not voteing for him because of what his "fans" do is no excuse either.

Actually, he isn't a clown to the Republicans, he is a real threat to the neo-con agenda. It's no laughing matter to them. Of course they will play him off as a "joke" to keep his perception off for the media. Seriously, if more people know about HIM instead of what the media portrays him to be, more people would like him. Why do you think he's the "darling" of the internet? Think abou it.

 

[AllThingsComic]

Thank you Bell, I need not say anymore for both your replies were eloquent and hit the nail on the head.

because the internet is such a great barometer of character, social responsibility, and integrity. Bottom line, Ron will never be president.....I doubt he would even get a cabinet post.

 

[AllThingsComic]

The bottom line is, the gov't runs all the media tv, radio, and newspapers and Ron Paul does not do well in them. The internet is basically the only domain left as the voice of the people, and there he shines. Isn't there something peculiar about that?

??????????

So, why is it that radio tends to be more conservative, and TV tends to be more liberal?????? If what you say is true, then why is "all" of the media not swinging more to the right, when in fact, it tends to swing to the left.
