At least Ron Paul has supporters, some in the industry, that make music about him that they gladly allow him to play.

    "He's a complete nutjob. He's opposed to practically every single government agency, including the Dept of Education, EPA, NIH, and the Social Security Administration. He's a racist who opposes the Civil Rights Act and has a pretty devoted following of neo-Nazis and white supremacists. He's against consumer legislation. He wants to go back to the gold standard. He also compared Social Security and Medicare to slavery. WTF?"

    They are all unconstitutional
    Dept. of Education - has caused the price of education to go up and the quality of education to go down ever since it was created. And also prevents states from deciding how their school should be run.

    EPA - doesn't stop pollution. It allows a certain amount of "safe" pollution. "Safe", being something which can be changed buy lobbyist. True property rights are stricter in the sense that no one can pollute any amount of anything on any property public or private.

    Social Security - There's no money in social security it's gone. He has said though he would honor the obligation of it and slowly faze it out.

    He's definitely not a racist http://www.fox19.com/story/16449477/reality-check-the-story-behind-the-ron-paul-newsletters

    "Civil Rights Act - if repealed still doesn't make it possible for business to be racist in a free market. Would you patronize a racist business? I wouldn't. It's called voting with your wallet. At the federal level it's unconstitutional. He wants to go back to the gold standard."

    Having a follower of questionable background does not equate being like that person. to quoque http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

    I don't believe he's mentioned anything about consumer legislation. Yet, I would assume that even without it one could sue in civil court and others could vote with their wallets.(thats my thoughts based on what I understand of Ron Pauls stances)

    Gold and silver was money for a very long time and is very stable. Every time in history when a country used fiat money there was always rapid inflation. For instance ever since 1913 there has been an ever growing inflation due to our devaluing dollar.

    "He also compared Social Security and Medicare to slavery."
    I don't think I'v ever heard him say that or seen it written something like that. You might be mixing that up with his statements on student loans.

    "He's an obstetrician/gynecologist who opposes abortion. That doesn't even make sense. He claims to be a libertarian, yet wants to prevent women from getting abortions? He wouldn't care for a patient who couldn't afford his services (and he pretty much said this in an earlier debate on TV). His son is an ophthalmologist who decided to quit the national opthalmology licensing board to start his own."

    Abortion - He personally opposes abortion. it's a states issue and not a federal one due to the fact that it's not within the federal level to make any laws about it either way for it or not.

    Not caring for patients is wildly untrue and a bald face lie. there's many stories all over about ron paul giving free care. He even did it for fresh caught shrimp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=v97yr9ktqZ4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T77U8n0Yy34

    I don't like Ron Paul's stance on abortion but he is right that it is a states issue. Then again it really shouldn't be anyones issue except for the person carrying the baby. But thats up to the states. Although I do believe there should be a term limit on abortion. Other than that I'm for Ron Paul. Most of the policies he wants to throw out are unconstitutional for the federal government to make laws on. He technically not legalizing or legalizing them he making them a states issue which is where they belong. Local governments have always been better at figuring out local issues.

    At least someone knows how to read The Constitution the way it was meant to. I usually tell people that as they read the constitution remember that it is a legal contract describing what the federal government can do. While anything outside that is something it can not do.

    I have solution. Get the government to stop subsidizing GMO crops and start growing organic again. And the bee population will fix it's self. These people are like the same people that wonder why corn feed cows gets sick. Instead of realizing that they can only eat grasses. Instead they figure out new chemical ways to keep them from getting sick. Where are the environmentalists on this stuff?

    Anyone who has watched Food inc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppL_UuN73Fc knows what im talking about.

    Lets put it together, now. GMO corn and soy are basically the largest crops made in the US. Bees like these crops. Crops are poisonous. Bees are dead. hmmm, makes you wonder what these crops are doing to us.

    To help stop this from happening. Buy organic and don't buy things with high fructose corn syrup in it. Later in life you will have recouped the money loss from buying organic by not having massive doctor bills from eating all those GMO poisons. And you would have helped save the bee population that hasn't needed to change evolutionarily, I "bee"leave, for millions of years. Thus saving the planet and ourselves. I call that a win, win, win scenario.

  25. Two Party Bull on Court Case To Test Legality of Recording the Police With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 0

    The two-party notification only applies when there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. A city sidewalk, street, or any other public area doesn't have any privacy. Thus allowing anybody to record anyone at anytime. This is why google street view is legal in the US. People can even take pictures of people in their houses so as long as the person taking the pictures is taking them from a public area, think the paparazzi and pictures of actors in their homes. So in my opinion this case is easily contestable and dismissible. Besides where's the corpus delecti ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_delicti ) in this case.
