And how fricking dare anyone out there make fun of Ron Paul after all he's been through! He loves a America and the Constituion and went through a hard campaign! He had fricking great ideas, he was going to save America, and now he has to bear the bitter sting of defeat!

All you people care about is "evidence" and "racism allegations"...he's a human!!!

What you don't realize is that Ron Paul is doing all this for you and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him! America has been going downhill for years and all you people want is more MORE MOAR!!! Leave him alone! You're lucky he even ran for you! Leave Ron Paul alone...please!

Racist or not, the president doesn't have the power to go around hanging people.. and I agree with most of his stances on issues.

I won't lie, I agree with him on economic issues and foreign policy...but on social issues? No way.

Economy

I won't lie, I agree with him on economic issues and foreign policy...but on social issues? No way.

This will probably paint me in an asshole-ish light, but since I would not be the person affected by the stances on social issues, the economic and foreign policy issues are the ones that really matter to me. However, I believe the social issues will be solved with or without the President's support, so it isn't the end of the world.

Economy

Yes. While it may not be entirely feasible to return to the gold standard, making strides in that direction could do a world of good. Also, cutting massive spending in many areas of government is never bad and if lowering taxes works because of the cuts in spending, I'm all for it.

Whatever. Perhaps I struck too close to home?

The gold standard was abandoned partly due to its utter inability to deal with the economic reality of the Great Depression.

No. It was abandoned so the government could spend as much as it wanted, on whatever it wanted, whenever it wanted, without raising taxes.

It's hardly coincidental that the world economy has performed far better and far more stably in the era of fiat money than when it was ruled by the gold standard.

And the U.S. dollar is now worth only a tiny fraction of what it was then.

That's only the case if the gold standard is actually a good idea. Which, for the record, it isn't.

Guess I should have bolded "I may not be knowledgeable in the realm of economics" and been more affirmative about it.

Withdrawing from a war we never should have started =/= surrender

Plus, according to Dubya, we already won, so how can we possibly surrender?

No, he'll allow the states to print their own tender. Federal bills will only be negotiable concerning federal debts.

So in one fell swoop, he'll bankrupt every citizen of the U.S. and severely fuck up intrastate trade.

Reminds me of Senator Aiken's plan for Vietnam: "We should just declare victory, and get out." Unfortunately, W forgot the second half of the plan...

I know this thread was intended to start a fire but I will say .. I do agree with some of Pauls stances. I also agreed with some of Kucinich and others views. Kucinich and others are nowhere to be found.

I knew from the bg Paul didn't stand a chance. Some are delighted by this.. I am however discouraged. It shows me that anyone who doesn't tow the line really has no chance. But any who...

As of today, and well .. for a good while .. I hope Obama gets it. But actually I don't see that happening.. either. Not because of the people, but because how things are ran. I'm not sure though.

I don't think it shows that at all. I think it shows that people are able to actually read up on a candidate for themselves and recognize that the propaganda isn't all it's made out to be. A candidate can talk liberty all he wants, but if his record doesn't bear it out....

In truth, I find it very encouraging that most people didn't buy into the propaganda.

I understand what you are saying.

As for the propaganda bit .. well I consider those who the get the most air play in big media as being much more fitting into the propaganda suit than those who we never hear shit about. Remember Paul was only denounced on American airwaves. I don't give a flip what was done here on the inter tubes. This isn't reality.. as much as many of us like to think it is. There are more people who do not seek out or see this internet for its ... news .. information or opinion .. whatever ... than those that do.

That was my point. I'm voting for Hillary or Obama. Not in stone which .. yet.

I apologize to all for grave digging.. I just needed to voice that.

Propaganda has more to do with substance than quantity. The stuff that Ron Paul put out was pure propaganda. It had no substance and it didn't match up with reality, but it sounded nice. That's propaganda.

That's so sad! But wait a second... isn't Ron Paul some kind of compassionate conservative with strong national-libertarian leanings? Hell, that's even a bit too crazy for the average US voter, and we can all agree that beforementioned US voter is familiar with quite a shitload of insanity when it comes to the politics of his or her nation.

Did it sound nice? No. To most people it was complete bullshit..... Taken off the jump it was batshit insane. Especially the part about getting rid of the IRS. How could anyone think of such a thing. (Not that I believe it would EVER happen) Let me tell you. I believe he was going to do all he said he was going to do .. the same as I believe any other politician is going to do all they say they are .. (NOT). Even IF he honestly really wanted that .. there's no way in hell that would happen.


Election day comes and I know politicians are thieving liars.. I still gotta pick what I'm given to choose from.

(Hell at this point I got a major conspiracy theory going through my mind.. as to why he was in the running in the first place.. at the same time we have a woman and a black man. Maybe it's the cosmos. Big change!)




I consider general propaganda as something being pumped in to your head (all around -- all the time -- nonchalant -- drip drip).. sometimes it will create or use a factor(s) (War on Terror as an example) .. using dis information or straight out balled faced lies .. playing on unintentional ignorance.

Indirect propaganda.. or inner propaganda. We do it ourselves. Fear of our own. The tone is set in every direction .. and people follow.. and anyone that steps outside that line is bashed by their own. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Ron Paul, Obama, Hillary or whoever .. we are willing to accept that they are all thieves and liars. And just do the ... so and so isn't as bad as so and so.

All of em are crooked. None of them have 'we the people' in their best interest. We pay their fucking salaries. I watched Giuliani a while back on C Span campaigning. He said something about being the president OVER us. I caught it .. seemed like no one in the crowd did. I also didn't see any blog reports about what he said or youtube vids. It's suppose to be FOR us.

And when did we vote on the Iraq war? Don't give me that GW Bush shit. What the hell do WE (US the people) actually get a vote on that stands? Seems to me .. NOTHING.


I'm pissed. bah.

Propaganda has more to do with substance than quantity. The stuff that Ron Paul put out was pure propaganda. It had no substance and it didn't match up with reality, but it sounded nice. That's propaganda.Does it still qualify as propaganda if the propagator (Ron Paul) buys into it too?

Government is suppose to go from the bottom up .. not the top down and that's exactly what it is. Probably every where.

Does it still qualify as propaganda if the propagator (Ron Paul) buys into it too?Yes.
