Ron Paul: the currency crisis begins now

Do you have any quotes by Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse? It would be interesting to see how the perspectives of the three great thinkers of our era compare on this critical issue.

Wellllll.......THAT was a credible response!!!!!

I agree with the statement, not your sarcasm.

Ron Paul named his son after Ayn Rand.

That's the kind of thing that should be a warning flag not to put much stock in anything else the person says, like someone saying they saw Elvis working at the Kwik-e-Mart or are a reincarnated Aztec king.

Ron Paul is:

a) not a libertarian (he's on the wrong side of the drug war, abortion, and human rights)

b) a flip-flopper and liar (why does he now oppose auditing the Fed? maybe because the audit would prove him utterly wrong on his pet subject.)

c) a can or two short of a six-pack

Given your nickname, I am glad you feel that way.

I don't think you know who Ron Paul is, you are describing a different person.

Ron Paul is a goofball who has no appreciation of what is happening in Greece. In Greece, one third of the workforce works for the government. In the US, it is about 8-9%. The protests in Greece are being led by government employees who are mad that they are losing guaranteed year end bonuses that equaled two months pay, having their wages frozen after getting a 30% increase in pay since 2006 and will have layoffs. The government workers are not rioting. The usual Euro-anarchists are showing up to smash windows and tangle with police like they do at every big demonstration against the government in Europe. The government workers have largely protested peacefully.

Also, this is not a currency problem, it is a debt problem. Ron Paul just wants to make everything a currency problem so he can do his coocoo for cocopuffs routine about the gold standard and the fed. And the problem is actually helping the US. The yeild on US treasuries has been dropping like crazy as everyone moves money from the really risky countries to the safer ones. This means that the claims of hyperinflation and skyrocketing interest rates as a result of overborrowing are not going to happen.

It is like the bear chasing the campers. You don't have to be the fastest runner in the world, you just have to be faster than the slowest camper.

Yeah, because if you cross the lines of your ideology on one or two issues, you don't belong at all to that ideology...

That attitude is exactly what's wrong with American politics right now.

I was way off on his drug war stand. He doesn't have the usual hypocrisy of the teabagger crowd. I apologize.

But I don't see how someone can call themselves a libertarian and think Lawrence v. Texas was wrongly decided. If the states have the right to imprison you based on what you do in your bedroom, your other liberties don't mean jack.

Well, America has a pretty weird understanding of "liberal" when it comes to abortion. At least in my book it is not only the woman's choice/decision what she wants to do.

Everyone draws the line somewhere else. Mine is that I think abortion can be legitimate when the unborn would end up ill/disabled, the mother is teenage, lives in extreme poverty, etc.

But "bad timing" is not one of them. If it happens, it happens. Deal with it. There are worse things in life.

And if anyone has a good understanding of unborn - it's Ron Paul, the gyn.

Have those riots started yet? What day do they start? How do I get in on that i love riots. Whoopee!

RP is the an old KKK Dixiecrat kook whining and crying about women having Reproductive Rights, etc. He and his white hoodies will never stop the feds from paying 100% for abortions if that's what a women decides. The doctors just bill the procedure anyways as something else. The KKK has lost.

"newsmax" ahaha...ok....

Liberal democrats as so easy to spot. When ANYONE disagrees with the script they are fed they kick and scream to drown out all others. As Francois Guizot said, "If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain."

On a side note I find Ron Paul to be rather interesting... Right on in some areas and completely out of touch in other areas. Bottom line he supports the freedom this country was born on and is against the fascism some on this thread espouse.

I know you are but what am I wrote:

Tell that to non-whites and women who had no rights when the USA was born.

Excellent post except for one point. It is not some bunch of imported "usual Euro-anarchists" doing the rioting. It is the Greeks themselves.

At birth one is considered young. This country has been growing over the years. Non-white and women now have rights. At what age are we right now?

On the runs, do you agree or disagree with the lack of rights muslim women have?

I think you'll take back your last post if you think about it. They have never had the chance that Americans have.
