How about this idea . . . . this is the long term result of a population of minds nurtured, raised, and currently feeding off of television?

It HAS to be one or the other, then again, maybe it’s both?

From all that I can tell, Ron Paul adheres to all or most of the platform of the Libertarian Party. I hope that those of you who support him have analyzed the platform which you can read here http://www.lp.org/platform .

I find that on the surface many of their positions about individual choice and liberty, and the unregulated free market, sound good. However I find them naive and wishful thinking about human nature.

It assumes that most people are altruistic and generous, that they care about the downtrodden, that they are not greedy and wiling to readily accept a permanent underclass in our society if it enables them to get ahead.

For example, government programs to provide a social safety net, to mandate standards in health, environmental and food standards, work safety, education and child safety wouldn’t be necessary in a truly small “c” christian society.
The government that governs least governs best only works in fantasyland.

If I cared enough I’d go point by point through the platform and suggest the real life ramifications of strict adherence to their principles.

I suggest that underlying the beliefs of strict Libertarians is the quote misattributed to Marie Antoinette:

“Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”

The American electorate didn’t ‘pick’ any of these candidate a*sclowns, but simply must suffer what the MSM has proferred to us via their shadowy owner/controller major stock holders.

“We the People” only get to indemnify those that will predate on all of us to the benefit of these aforementioned fascista controllers…no?

Carl Nemo **==

He’s second in the Bloomberg but Romney is beating him by more than 2-1: 40-17 and is fading while Gingrich is gaining.

He’s third in the Rasmussen poll and — once again — behind by more than 2-1 (41-11) and trailing Cain while Gingrich is gaining. He’s third in CNN/Time while with less than half of Romney’s support.

Averaging that overall, that puts Romney with an average of 37.4 percent and Paul 23.5 percentage points behind. That makes him a blip.

You can spin it all you want but he will not win the nomination. The numbers don’t all up: Never have, never will.

What happened to men like Tom Ridge? He could not pass inspection by Rush Limbaugh. He spoke out against trying to put women in prison for wanting to determine the size of their family. He never showed a sign of homophobia therefore he would not do to run for President.

Yes sir, I have suggested Ron Paul more than once here but never with a fake email address. I have explained my reasons for choosing Paul as clearly as I could. I even joined the LP to put him on the ballot and discovered a corruption in that group that I could not tolerate. The current GOP has no interest in individual freedoms because this cannot be tolerated in a Christian movement. We must follow our leader no matter where it leads us. I refused to be baptized in that same Temple because it made no sense to a 9 year old.

Trying to vote my agenda in the next election means my having to believe in some sorted set of Gods. No, I am no longer a working/voting American. I bow down to no man or God when my fellow Americans are heading back to the dark ages.
