Forum Post: Looks Like Ron Paul Will Be POTUS!

Who else are you going to vote for, OWS? Obama, the Wall Street controlled, war criminal? Can't vote for Obama because he is a war monger, war criminal, liar, and is financed by Wall Street. Fascist Obama even re-signed the Patriot Act. So, the Big O shouldn't even be an option in 2012. No other Republican is an option either, because they are all corporate controlled. Cain is a former Fed Reserve banker, Romney made his fortune on Wall Street, and Rick Perry is a George Bush clone tapped by Bilderburg.

OWS is not your personal political candidates billboard.

Can't vote for Ron Paul because he is a devotee of Ayn Rand, the goddess of Wall St. greed and anything-goes capitalism. From the grave, Ayn Rand helped get us into the mess we are in. Bad enough we had a Fed Chairman that kissed her feet.

[-] 2 points by RG32 (81) 12 years ago

Ron Paul is not a strict adherent of Ayn Rand's philosophies. Far from it.

[-] 0 points by emen7 (1) 12 years ago

What kind of adherent of Ayn Rand's philosophies is he?

[-] 2 points by RG32 (81) 12 years ago

He said that he was influenced in some ways by her, but noted that Rand disliked libertarians and was also a big proponent of militarism. Their ideologies are quite different. Ron Paul supports the poor and middle class. He would end the Federal Reserve and back sound money. The rich rob us primarily through inflation and crony capitalism. Why do you think the Establishment is so scared of Ron Paul?

[-] 1 points by madfoot (52) 12 years ago

He's just not.

[-] 1 points by EndTheFedNow (692) 12 years ago

Can we end these these wars of aggression, the mass murder, and the ill will they cause toward Americans? YES WE CAN!

RON PAUL 2012 baby!

Obama has to go along to get along. All minorities have to: it is called "prisoner's dilemma"

[-] 1 points by RG32 (81) 12 years ago

That is the most ignorant thing that I have ever heard. How could you say something like that? Why the fuck would you be Obama's apologist. You know he is a liar and has committed war crimes.

[-] 1 points by tr289 (916) from Chicago, IL 12 years ago

Why vote for any one in a broken system ? What good will it do ? It's not like Ron Paul will save the world. If he get's elected it will be no different then Obama getting elected. Our government is owned by the top 1% and what they say goes. Ron Paul will fall in line just like every other president has over the last 20 + years.

We need to fix the system and worry about the politics later.

Imagine a Revolution

To every empire the end has come. To every paper currency failure has occurred. To every society there comes a turning point; in America we turn now. I ask you to imagine a once free America. Imagine an America which promoted individual liberty and personal responsibility, not a welfare state. Imagine an America where the Constitution applied to everyone and every case, no matter how bad the crime or criminal at suspect. Imagine an America restrained by the Constitution, due process and the rule of law. Imagine an America devoid of secret watch lists, secret prisons and secret assassinations.

Imagine a moral society which only engaged in just war and only as a last resort.

Imagine an America, where the decision to go to war, is actually one declared by congress. Imagine an America which never endorsed the use of preventive wars to promote peace. Imagine an America where torture was never acceptable, even if called "enhanced" interrogation techniques. Imagine an America in which a warrant was always required to search or seize persons or property. Imagine an America which respected the writ of habeas corpus and condemned indefinitely detaining individuals.

Imagine an America where prosperity wasn't derived from private printing presses, but from true wealth. Imagine an America not ravished by endlessly spending a fiat currency in pursuit of economic growth; all the while promoting the welfare and warfare state. Imagine an America which encouraged savings while destroying that very possibility by devaluing the currency through the deceitful act of controlled monetary inflation. Imagine an America where coins were still worth their weight. Imagine an American in which gold and silver were actually legal tender.

Imagine an America where children are not arrested for front yard lemonade stands. Imagine an America where you couldn’t be arrested and jailed for gardening on your property. Imagine an America without checkpoints where blood could be drawn without warrant, against one's will. I ask you to imagine an America where citizens could make the simple decision to drink raw milk. Imagine an America which valued personal choice and responsibility above dictating morality through law. Imagine an America which allowed companies to actually protect their property and customers. Imagine an America where individuals actually had the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as long as they didn’t endanger others.

Imagine if rights were derived from creation, and not from government.

Imagine now an America in which citizens understood and respected the experiment of liberty began by their forefathers. Imagine now an America which still embraces the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Imagine now an America where the wretched refuse, the homeless, those searching for the New Colossus could venture to experience liberty. Imagine America no longer safeguarded the liberty they sought, but only the security and secrecy of the state. Imagine an America where ignorance isn’t sold as wisdom and tolerance not delivered by force. Imagine an America where politicians stood behind American principles. Imagine an America where oath to the Constitution was taken seriously and always upheld. Imagine an America of resounding liberty; not one of ever incrementally increasing tyranny. Imagine America as she once was: free and prosperous.

Now try to imagine an idea. Imagine an idea so powerful, so strong in it conviction, no army or government could stop it. Imagine a return of the respect of the Constitution. Imagine a return to due process and the rule of law. Imagine a return to sound currency and sound monetary policy. Imagine the abolishment of our partaking down the dangerous path of legislating morality. Imagine a return to a foreign policy of freedom and not of preemptive wars and nation building. Imagine the return to the ideals of extending friendship to all, and having entangling alliances with no one. Above all else, Imagine liberty and understand the responsibility having it demands from each of us. Imagine America not as an Empire but as a Republic.

Imagine if we had the chance to Restore America Now.

Imagine a Revolution.

imagine civilization coming to an abrupt and tragic end at the hands of a wingnut.

HEAR HEAR!!! Push the message!!!

The only thing that can stop Ron Paul is a bullet from the globalists. Unfortunately, that is a real possibility.

Are you going to vote for the fascist, Wall Street financed war criminal and pathological liar?

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 12 years ago

i assume you mean obama. no. i am not going to vote for either. we need a new third party and thats the only way i'd vote.

sorry, too bad ron paul is insane.

[-] 1 points by madfoot (52) 12 years ago

So you're just not going to vote. @_@

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 12 years ago

no, I'm going to fight like hell for us to form a third party and vote as soon as there are non demons to vote for. i don't vote for the lesser of evils. I'm an angel, i can't vote for things that are evil no matter how much better they are than some other evil. global warming denialism is a giant red flag. anybody willing to deny the facts and accept exxons version of reality against science truth is a clear and present danger to society.

[-] 1 points by madfoot (52) 12 years ago

Ron Paul doesn't agree with you 100%, so he's a demon?

Fyi: Libertarianism isn't necessarily green unfriendly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-capitalism

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 12 years ago

the consequence of electing him president is likely that civilization would collapse and millions if not billions of people would die. Yes, that makes him as big a monster as you have room in your imagination for despite the situation being that this road to hell is paved with good intentions. Libertarianism is a flavor of ignorant stupid corporate oligarchy divide and conquer, and is an ideology detached from science.

Oh. That sounds really scary. O_O

Libertarianism is a flavor of ignorant stupid corporate oligarchy divide and conquer

Considering you just called libertarians ignorant stupid monsters, I'm not sure if that "divide and conquer" image really made it through here.

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 12 years ago

most people don't get it. ALL of those flavors are THE PROBLEM. ideology IS THE PROBLEM. its not science, its not truth. corporate oligarchy uses ideology to keep us all ignorant.

[-] 1 points by madfoot (52) 12 years ago

Yeah I get it, but calling people ignorant because they don't agree with you feeds into that.

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 12 years ago

i'm not calling them ignorant because they don't agree with me. I'm calling them ignorant because they are ignorant ideologues. until we can face that together and stop the madness, thats the problem.

It is ignorant to imagine we can go to a gold standard its impossible. it is ignorant to deny global warming. ETC the dems and republicans both areabsolutely dependent on ignorance and on ignorant ideological BS they have programmed their sheeple with.

End the ignorance, and the rest of it evaporates. Thats the true core issue of issues.

if that stresses some people out- tuff. they need to wake up and quit living in a delusional con scam .

You're the one sounding like an ignorant ideologue here. Doubly so when you start calling people "sheeple" and shit.

Dr. Ron Paul no questions

[-] 1 points by RG32 (81) 12 years ago

Pretty easy to see who is going to benefit from all of this. The only anti-Establishment candidate is Ron Paul.

[-] 0 points by davisstraub (52) 12 years ago

Ron Paul's ideas on the economy hold as much water as his ideas on evolution. He is a pot with a crack.

[-] 2 points by thoreau42 (595) 12 years ago

Right, because the opposite of his ideas, what we've been currently doing, has been such a raging success. That's why everyone is here, right?

[-] 1 points by davisstraub (52) 12 years ago

This is suppose to be a devastating reply to my critique?

[-] 2 points by thoreau42 (595) 12 years ago

There wasn't much substance to devastatingly reply to. I did the best I could. Do you even understand economics?

[-] 1 points by davisstraub (52) 12 years ago

I do.

[-] 1 points by thoreau42 (595) 12 years ago

I guess 'cause you said so, I have to believe you.

[-] 1 points by davisstraub (52) 12 years ago

No, but I see you live in Seattle (and I have to believe that because you say so :-)). Nice town. Lived there for many decades. Have fun.

[-] 1 points by thoreau42 (595) 12 years ago

Seattle is magical.
