All jokes aside, I'm still not completely convinced. I'm certainly not saying that Ron Paul is perfect. I'm just saying that he seems much better than the rest and far better than your average politician. You can clown him all you want, but the evidence seems to still hold up. I mean, let's be real though. You know that he has to stand for some kind of good truth when the media (and our government?) is attempting to censor him and when he draws criticism from both the left and right (including Fox). And I have never ever seen anyone defeat him in a debate, never. Perhaps because the truth cannot be defeated?

Please check out these videos and check out the positive comments too:

A great example of him speaking the truth among his political adversaries during a political debate.

We get our information about the world from the media. The media is not worth trusting for several reasons because it tries to keep us stupid so that it can exploit us. The media attempts to blackball Ron Paul so that we don't know about him...Do you see where I'm going with this? I'm also starting to notice that the usual reactions from people who don't like Ron Paul are either one of two things: they either roll their eyes or they attempt a smug look on their faces. Either way, they have nothing really substantial to counter what he says.

A nice interview by G4 about Ron Paul and his views on the computers, internet, media, etc.

[video=youtube;9wDYtDfZ_GM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wDYtDfZ_GM&feature=related[/video]

This video draws parallels between Chris Rock and Ron Paul, two admirably truthful men in this world today. Also talks about Paul's liberterarian views on drugs since that was a hot topic in this thread. But I don't necessarily disagree with Paul's views at all. At the most, we all know that marijauna should be legalized in America.

Not only Chris Rock, but Bill Maher, another admirably truthful person, also has a lot in common with Ron Paul. He also fully endorses Paul.

Another great example of Paul showcasing his great capactiy for sense and reason in a political debate

It's only right that FOX News doesn't like Ron Paul (even though he is technically a Republican), that they would even apparently refuse to air or censor footage of him on thier own network. And that would be footage in which he gets love from the public. The media does not want the people to see or hear Ron Paul because he speaks the truth?

[video=youtube;54WFoV-veCM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54WFoV-veCM&feature=related[/video]

I see no substantial reason to not vote for him.

Nigga is two-faced, he is suppose to be a republican who has liberal agenda, which is fishy, but he is movin' heads up in the media and shit, they don't like him so that's a good sign, just like they were shittin' on obama all day.

How come being a republican and having a liberal agenda is two faced? To me, that's more indication of being real because there is truth in both sides. When you're too far to the left or too far to the right, that's when I know you're on some bs. But yeah, you're absolutely right about the media.

when i was trying to get into the politics like get my info and shit lol.

i went and did my research. dude aint all what they hype him to be about. I made a thread in like political white forum or some ish lol.

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread705909/pg1

thats the thread i made, the thread would prolly answer a lot of questions you might have or want to know about Ron Paul.

nice drop. I've read some of it and will continue to read on. But honestly, even though I agree and disagree with some of his policies, I don’t see anything too radical to me. “Radical”, as in stupid.

He is a "Libertarian" which although it has some good ideas is not too practical today. Especially huge cutbacks on military, and social services.

I actually support and respect libertarian ideas, and don't see them as impractical really.

Ron Paul is not part of the machine, he's against the machine, he wants to end the fed, IRS and more,

Agreed.

Maybe so, but perhaps we need someone a bit drastic and outrages. I'm not sayin' it should be Ron Paul though. IMO he's an idiot!

Maybe we do need some drastic changes. I don’t understand why people are so scared of change when they are fed up with the current state of events. And we voted for a guy whose slogan was all about change. What?

And how is Ron Paul an idiot?

ron paul is so fucking crazy he has to be elected, just for the laughs...

imagine all the red faces when this man legalizes Heroin and shit...

I don't think that he's crazy at all. On the contrary, I think that he is very sane and reasonable.

I'm not saying that you said this, but I'm sure there are people who misunderstand Ron Paul and his stance on drugs like heroin. Ron Paul is NOT pro-heroin from what I know. His stance is much more complex than that, and based more on liberty, states' rights, and respect for individuals.

[video=youtube;LMIgT_NGgek]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMIgT_NGgek[/video]

He'd also eat obama for lunch in a debate... in fact... any fucking candidate... obama's preacher style would get shitted on hard by real facts... that man is like a walking Brittanica app...

so true.

The good thing about Ron Paul is the fact he seems against wars and military spending. He's against the war on drugs and some other things..

But he has some disastrous ideas....

Most notably that the free market solves everything. Meaning that you should trust consumerism more than democracy.

If a company discriminates against a certain race of people in the real world that is illegal, and the people who are discriminated against can sue. So companies are forced to not be racist.

In ron pauls world the same racist company would be legally be able to discriminate. The only way people could change this is if people were to boycott that company. So, if you live in a racist part of the country where people are ok with racism there could legally be segregated movie theaters, restaurants or busing....

 

[Drgoo0285]

also being anti regulation is kind of retarded.

It's like being anti bathing. Like it may suck sometimes but you have to understand why you have it.

 

[earth two superman]

how smart can ron paul be if he doesnt believe in evolution?

 

[Dr Bang]

One thing i know is that he will never be president, he doesn't have the campaign funds, not many people outside of the internet even know about this guy, nobody is really c/s him.

This all seems fishy to me, but if all this is true (which I kind of doubt), then yes Ron Paul's policy in this regard would be problematic.

gift from God to America?

Have you ever read the Bible? Do you know that its a sin for you to set a white man over you as your king?

Do you know that God is in the processing of judging America aka Babylon the Great to destruction in the book of Revelation?

Ron Paul is a devil illuminati member just like the rest of them. It would be wise to see the bigger picture. He is CONTROLLED opposition just like Obama was controlled opposition to Bush UNTIL he got in office.

Psalm 2

1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Wow, what is this? Be easy dude, it was just a saying. This is not a religious debate, and I'm not interested in dubious conspiracies.

also being anti regulation is kind of retarded.

It's like being anti bathing. Like it may suck sometimes but you have to understand why you have it.

Sorry I don't know too much about this. Could you explain?

how smart can ron paul be if he doesnt believe in evolution?

1. You can easily be very "smart" and also not believe in evolution at the same time.

2. Perhaps the belief or disbelief in evolution is entirely irrelevant. I'm trying to vote for a politician, not a scientist.

3. MY personal opinion is to say shame on Ron Paul if he completely rejects evolution. I'm not too big on evolution, but if he completely rejects it, then he loses there. He may just be a product of Texas. Regardless, I'd like to know more about his views on evolution (besides that oen video where he says that he sees it as a mere theory) not because I think it's important politics-wise but because I'm just curious.

One thing i know is that he will never be president, he doesn't have the campaign funds, not many people outside of the internet even know about this guy,

true.

nobody is really c/s him.

I would say that this, however, is certainly not true. He gets lots of love on internet, tv shows, etc.

you need more than 1 million dollars to run lol.

Advertise. Create commercials to inform people of your views and why you're the best candidate. Pay to get the commercials on television. An effective advertising campaign will cost you around $150 million dollars. Following these steps, you can at least get on the presidential ballot of the United States. How you run the campaign will decide if you win or not.

I don't think he has that type of money or knows anybody who will be willing to put that behind him.

Having the media in your side is a very essential part of winning in this country.

 

[Drgoo0285]

His son holds this idea too
[video=youtube;EQ61qYT3Pe8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ61qYT3Pe8&feature=related[/video]

he compares letting black people in a store to allowing people to carry a gun in a store.

 

[Drgoo0285]

He disagrees with part of the civil rights act of 1964...

good drop, but in my opinion, I think that your "analysis" of the interview is oversimplified and misleading.

Yes, he does, and I understand his reason in doing so. And I don't think that reason is particularly racist or ridiculous.

 

[Drgoo0285]

I don't think ron paul is racist. I think ron pauls ideology would lead to a racist climate like the 50's.

Think of it like this if I have a store and I refuse to serve black people and more white people decide to go to my store whats going to stop my store from being racist? And if the other stores in the area start competing with me for the racist white buyers, we'd end up with the same issues that MLK and so many others were fighting against.

Businesses were not segregated because they were forced to by law. They were segregated because it was profitable to do so.

When you make profits the only indicator of who they are going to do business with what's really stopping them from discriminating?

You have to understand that.

 

[Drgoo0285]

good drop, but in my opinion, I think that your "analysis" of the interview is oversimplified and misleading.

it's not really over simplified. If anything rand paul has an over simplified idea of civil rights. The profits of business's should not trump simple individuals rights to not be discriminated against...

also the civil rights act basically says if you are a business that serves the public you have to actually serve the public.

Ron Paul Addresses Hurricane Irene, Says 'There's No Magic About' FEMA (VIDEO)
Posted: 8/27/11 04:42 PM ET
React
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul told NBC News on Friday that "there's no magic about" the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He said that he doesn't see the need for a federal response to Hurricane Irene as the powerful storm makes its way up the east cost.

"We should be like 1900, we should be like 1940, 1950, 1960," said the Texas congressman in weighing in on the matter during a stop in New Hampshire. He regarded FEMA as a "great contribution to deficit financing."

The presidential contender explained that he lives on the Gulf Coast back in the Lone Star State. He said, "We deal with hurricanes all the time. Galveston is in my district."

The Hill notes:

A catastrophic storm hit Galveston in 1900, killing thousands.
"We should be coordinated, but coordinated voluntarily with the states," Paul explained. "A state can decide. We don't need somebody in Washington."

1. a doctor who doesnt believe in science is a sad thing indeed.

2. if there was a scientist or engineer in every seat in congress and in the white house, no matter what party they were affiliated with, you can bet that a lot of shit would get solved pretty quickly.
