and how do you guys know that ron paul is honest? just cause he hasn't changed his mind on any single issue over a million years? sometimes change could be a good thing. he needs to change his racist mindset.
... once you amasses more than you could ever spend, its essentially becomes pointless.
I approach it with a liberal approach(i.e. Ron Paul) You may not like a black, Hispanic, or an Asian individual but it isn't because of the individuals skin color but the content of the individuals character. Race has shit to do with it.
The fact that they call him Dr. No. He has always voted against anything that violated the constitution (from drug war to seat belts). He knows how invasive the Patriot Act, NDAA, SOPA and Drug War are to our Constitutional rights. He has a proven track record to back it up. Some people remind us he introduced over 400 bills and got nothing passed into law. I state that shows he is against the status quo. Nobody would side with him because he couldn't be bought. Don't you get it? That is what it is all about. You get me in...We get your cronies jobs, during and after you in office. The media is suppressing Ron Paul and if they didn't out right steal votes in Iowa they are trying PERCEPTION CONTROL TECHNIQUES....on CNN, FOX, CBS and more all to suppress the masses. They only bring up Ron Paul to dismiss him. It is very effective until you abuse your power. People are taking note and creating a real REVOLUTION in our country.and how do you guys know that ron paul is honest?
G states are passing laws to take cameras away from individuals!
Charles and David Koch might disagree.
Gold standard never mitigated greed that spawned gilded age/robber baron proportion.

The definition for dogmatic and dogma was because several people kept using it including me...and others saying it was being used incorrectly to redirect while not answering the questions in discussion. Those the shoe fits, know they are the princesses.
Is there anyone in the thread who believes Ron Paul will not try to do the best he can to implement changes he has advocated? Really?
He has not changed his stance, actions, voting, etc.
A leader does his best to do what is right for the country whether it is popular or not.
Let the States decide... hell if Utah doesn't want to sell alcohol and you want to drink, don't move there
I truly believe that many Americans are afraid to be free, take responsibility. Many are like dogs that lay in their little box kennel with the door wide open because they have a sense of security in their domestication and captivity.
Zymos-- that was a twisting of what I said. Ron Paul and I have never advocated against the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. To equate Utah's ability to sell alcohol in their state to Alabama's outlawing being black is not even a relevant argument.
By the way, if you live in Utah, if you buy alcohol you can only do it from a government outlet at grossly inflated price or have it with a meal. That is right now!
Heath and Human Services is charged with scheduling. DEA lacks the medical expertise to classify. DEA is enforcement of whatever Congress directs them to enforce.The single biggest issue with MMJ is the fact that the Fed (namely DEA) have it scheduled as a scheduled 1 narcotic and therefore no medical use.
As of 2004, Rumsfeld vs Hamdi. And what you speak of is not for non-combatants - it's for enemy combatants. Besides, the president requested to remove the discretion from the Pentagon and give it to the president, the SoD and the SoS. In particular, this president says he won't use this discretion but nobody knows what subsequent presidents will do.The DEA and other extensions of the Federal government have openly engaged in a war on drugs for over 30 years. This war has been fought in other countries but mainly it has been fought here in America. Guess who is here in America? Yep, you are right, mainly American citizens. Therefore, the war is at least half, and I argue, more than half with American Citizens. A declared war on American Citizens. It has brought in willingly and through coercion the use of our own military, DEA, ATF, State, and local law enforcement officer. A mountain of laws have been written to assist and make it legal for the use of these resources.... an example is using US military and resources against American Citizen non-combatants (at least now they are considered that).
Only if you're an enemy combatant. Terrorists, i.e. not enemy combatants still get Miranda rights.New laws have just been put on the books that could easily be spun to make many of you out there fit the category of Terrorists. In this category you would not have access to the Constitution or Bill of Rights guaranteed protections and be held indefinately without trial or legal representation.
I know of one who renounced American citizenship and coordinated and or encouraged domestic attacks on innocent Americans.We have already executed, without judge or jury or even a trumped up military tribunal, a few Americans. What would be the issue of a few more?
I respectfully disagree that a man who considers some as freer than others be a spokesperson for freedom. But don't bang your head, you're free to express your ideas. My difference of opinion doesn't discount my respect for you as an individual.I agree the Cannabis issue is not the biggest we face but those who oppose and those who advocate Freedom at a time in history when the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Personal (responsible) Freedoms are being attacked and eroded at a level never seen before in America. There is only one candidate that has the integrity to say and do all he can to protect us from these attacks.... That is Ron Paul! His history and all his careers prove that statement.
Do those of you who are ready to vote for the business as usual candidates, either incumbant, or not..... not see where we are headed.
Peace
Anyone wanna play an 'toking game' tonight with the debate?
Nah. I'm gonna continue my habit of not giving a shit about being lied to by privileged presidential candidates and take the wife and kid out to dinner while my dollar still has a little value left.
clearly they don't. just reference itisme's response to your definitions to see that's not true. and seriously, it doesn't matter how many facts are brought to the table, a BELIEVER will always believe because he has faith.
not a mind reader. i don't know what he'll try to do. but i do know that to make substantive change you need a super majority. Ron Paul doesn't even have the support of his own party. and it's still congress that makes the laws.
this is disturbing. anyone with a mind not open to new information is not qualified to be president. times have changed. knowledge doubles every few years.
you mean like Obama pissing off his liberal supporters by moving to the center?
and if they want to teach creationism in schools? or just give the job of teaching over to the Mormons? and what if i can't afford to move out of Utah? or Utah decides to band together with other religious Conservative states? - like the good old days down south.
i'll say it again we need science and critical thinking to compete in the 21st century. religion is the death of reason. Ron Paul is a religious conservative. he does NOT believe in evolution for example. this is ridiculous. and on that basis alone i consider him unfit for higher office.
i'm not sure portraying Americans (at least the one's not supporting Ron Paul) as cowards hiding under a chair is helping your cause.
while my dollar still has a little value left.
What you talking about Willis.Are you ready to trade your Dollar for Euros, Pounds, Yen, or Yuan's?
