i was SO wondering what this cantankerous old fart of a megalomaniac thought about this issue. Ron Paul is a 100% archetype of the dictator. dismantle the bureacracy, throw out all the regulations, fire all the civil servants. and put me in charge because you can trust me to rule justly and without cumbersome oversight.
well you picked the right nickname.
yes he wants to rule he doesn’t want freedom
Yes. That’s exactly what he wants to do. You’re smart.
I dont think you get it.
You are ruled right now…amazing
Ron Paul a “megalomaniac” and “dictator”? Wow, I think that’s the first time I’ve heard him smeared in that way, and there have been many smears over the years.
Idiot wind is a great name for you….The government claiming ownership over your income is a modern form of slavery. Ron Paul is advocating giving that back to you. That YOU own your income NOT the government. Exactly how is that like a dictatorship? Oh nevermind, IDIOT.
derp. idiot.

The country is so torn apart by those like Ron Paul who want to tear down the government. America used to want to be great. Now there are so many that only think about themselves, and are not concerned about their neighbor. This is selfishness. “My money, my wealth, my guns”, this is the cry of the tea party, and libertarians.
The fundamental ? of course is what you think made America “great” at one time…was it the people or the gov’t?
Obviously there’s disagreement. The difference in outlook is if you think it’s the people that made America great you don’t call those that think it was the gov’t “selfish”, you simply call them wrong.
and that selfishness generates resources. it seems paradoxical perhaps. such is capitalism. oh well
CORRECTION: This is selfishness. “I want Your money, Your wealth, Your guns”, this is the cry of Obama, the liberals and libertarians.
Well, it is clear…. You have no idea what Libertarians are…
He does have a picture of a dictator attached to his name…Lincoln also wanted your money, your wealth and your guns. And endorsed the “scorched earth” policy to get it.
Obama/Liberals and libertarians do not mix at all. Your comment is disturbing because it is obvious you have not taken two minutes out of your life to research the Libertarian philosophy… I’m sure you think that Libertarians are like liberals because their names start with “Liber”. I’ve met many just like you on the street.
There is no helping those like GrandTango, you are a mentally challenged failure.
Not concerned about their neighbors: really? How much more concern can Libertarians express for their neighbor than promoting their individual liberty?
huh???? this doesnt even make sense
No, we don’t want to tear down the “Government”, but re-legalize freedom, competition and real free markets. The “Government” will easily collapse on it’s own without our help. And while we’re on the subject of what America used to be, the country had no income tax for over 120 years, it’s mentioned in the article.
derp. squared.
Hey, Nowar – just wanted to tell you that you are the reason America is failing. Your ideals, your mindset. You are a failure.

Sadly: Ron Paul is half the time on the side of the Corrupt Oba-mites because they all wallow in the immoralization of America..
Mr. Paul, you cannot sample the leftist Filth of Drugs, Prostiution, Absentee-fathers, Gambling, Race-haters, Slut-mothers, Government Homosexuality-promotion and Abortion w/o being saturated in the same corruption that has come to define Obama, Reed and Pelosi…
Conservatives know that liberal ideology, all of it (even liberals disquised as free-to-do-whatever-you- like Liberal-Tarians ) leads to abject Failure.
Obama not only proves that he, and you, are the fathers of breaking our economic system…you are as corrupt as the baby-mutilators, hateful government Gestapo and Racists you empower…
BRRAAAKKK! Leftist! BRRAAAKKKKK! Baby mutilators! BRRAAAAKKKK! Gestapo!
Using my words again…Too D@*n stupid to form a single thought of your own…Another Brain-dead liberal…
Wait… You don’t like them telling you how to live your life but, it’s OK to tell them how to live theirs?
… you do realize that Ron Paul is personally pro-life, right? He’s an OB/GYN and has delivered hundreds (if not thousands) of newborn babies. His official position is that states ought to choose how to approach abortion legally, but he has always been pro-life.
You do also know that decriminalization does not mean advocacy? If you could point to research that proved that these “heinous” social policies have actually helped more than they have hurt the American economy, please provide it for my perusal. Decriminalization leads to regulation, and regulated markets create fewer black markets than criminalized markets. That is, if you were to legalize marijuana across the board and regulate it as we have regulated alcohol, then we would not only open the market to widespread notice, to standards, and to specialization (see the difference between alcohol produced in the Great Depression as opposed to that produced before and afterwards) – but we will also be benefiting from the taxes these markets produce and ease pressure on local law enforcement to track down the people that commit these crimes.
Apply this philosophy to all the social immoralities you’ve suggested, and their heinous nature will be softened by reasonable and lawful citizens that wish to make them safe for consumption/participation. (This obviously does not apply to whatever you mean by “absentee fathers,” “slut-mothers,” or “race-haters” – although, I think these are closer to the corruption of culture than advocated practices of any political party or creed).
Ron-Paul is mis-guided, and thinks legislators have no responsibility in blocking bad people from forcing irresponsible, dangerous policies on society…
Also: Ron Paul is pro-life only in states where that’s the majority. Otherwise, he tries to pander to the “Everything-Goes” crowd, that is ignorant of all the Ills liberalism perpetuates…
And I did not even address Ron-Paul’s contempt for our right to national defense…
“And I did not even address Ron-Paul’s contempt for our right to national defense…”
Don’t you mean our international policing of the world?
I got this one Ben. National security and nation building are 2 completely different things. A strong national defense does not mean spending more on the DOD than all other nations combined spend on their militaries. It means being able to protect the US at home and from foreign attack. It does not mean the POTUS can wage any sort of war he wants. It also means that any military force that is not authorized by congress is illegal and unconstitutional. The POTUS does have the authority under The Constitution to retaliate against any attack on America or to thwart an imminent attack on America. It does NOT give him the authority to send the military into any combat or non-combat situation he wants. ONLY Congress has the power to declare war, fund the war, end the war. Once war is declared by Congress and clear goals and rules set by Congress to direct the war, and ONLY then does the POTUS have the authority to direct his Generals and troops as he sees fit WITHIN the parameters set forth by Congress.
Dr. Paul wants the government to follow The Constitution not find new ways to subvert and twist it. Just follow what it says.
If your legislators are participating in the immoral acts they criminalize, what does that say about criminalization? Or about large democracies in general?
GrandTango. Derp(est). Wow.
When is our next gig?
Once again, GrandTango attacking someone he does not understand. I will call you it again, you are a mentally challenged failure.
Finally, an idea from Ron Paul I can agree with!
If it is ‘finally’ an idea you can agree with, then that tells me you love to drone little children overseas for the sake of security in America.

Obviously none of the people who have commented have ever read anything about economics or about how our country worked at the beginning of our time as a sovereign nation. Ron Paul has many things right. Our country is going to sh** under our current government (for the past few decades). Something needs to change to make this country prosperous again. Trillions of dollars in debt to other countries isn’t a good place to be.

Wow: It’s no wander that this guy can pull a Full 3.5% of the voting public…he’s like Frank Castanza: He’s so prolific…
Thankfully it was enough to assure Romney’s loss.
… and you are so moronic.
Ron Paul would have made an excellent president. I wish we could trade Obama for him.

This man should be the president right now. Too bad majority of Americans are too stupid and brainwashed.
