I would elaborate, but honestly, who the **** cares? I think Cynthia Kinney is a moron too, but I don't feel the need to explain why in detail, because she's inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

And you've yet to explain why any of us are wrong.

Also, it's the "three"(?) of us who are the minority here? That's why Ron Paul is the president!

No, I am simply asking you to accept the reality that you are on the fringe and must make your case for any one of these points to be taken seriously.

Pauligans act as if being asked to prove their positions is some capital offense.

The vast majority of people understand that these are bad ideas. This is common sense. If you are advocating for a change from the status quo, you should be prepared to explain why those things should happen. You don't just get to say "Ron Paul is great" and then shift the burden to everyone else to explain why he's not.

So why don't you or Goldenboy tell us why those things are good ideas?

The explanation will come in the form of the right arm held out in front of the body, fingertips extended, palm down at a 45 degree angle. Follow this with a fanatical twinkle in the eye and a quiet chant of "Dr. Paul".

He was a liberty hater boy,

but her head was up in a Ron Paul
she needed to come back down to earth

Appealing to the mob is not a legitimate debate tactic.

If you think they are bad ideas, you're going to have to explain why.

What, you made the assertions, back them up. Don't be lazy, explain why you think those are all "bad ideas."

On what level??? Domestic, economic, international, etc??? I am not the one making the claims, so why do i have to interpret possible premises?

True... But, why the **** even bother posting??? To be condescending?

Quote:

I had the UN debate with Haut, and it turned into, "your ****ing stupid if you think leaving the UN is a sane idea". Of course, that a bit of a dramatization, but you get the point right?

Quote:

Three of you who are openly criticizing something on the merit of your opinion alone. I find that ironic, being that you are a student of the law... Quite frankly, i expected more from you.

Re: Paul in 2012?

Quote:
1) His desire to withdraw from the UN/NATO/etc. is a bad idea.
2) His proposal to amend the 14th Amendment to get rid of birthright citizenship is a bad idea.
3) His opposition to NAFTA/CAFTA is a bad idea.
4) His proposal to eliminate the income tax is a horrible idea.
5) His proposals to eliminate departments like HHS, DHS, and FEMA are horrible ideas.
6) The whole "survival report" and "investment report" thing sketches me out.
7) I don't for one second buy his whole excuse of "oh someone else was publishing my newsletter full of racist ****, I had no idea!"
1) Ya I don't want that either and now that I think about it, it is the ONLY thing I disagree with Paul on. I think the world is going to hate us soon and we should start being nice the UN.
2) Not familiar with him wanting to end birthright citizenship. Sounds scary though.
3) NAFTA is a very, very bad idea. It will only make jobs in America while the freeway is being built. After that good luck. All your jobs R belong to us.
4) His proposal to eliminate income tax. Why not try it for 1 freaking year? You don't have to do everything at once. But if he says he knows a route to success why not let him try? We can let someone create magical self-replicating money but not this?
5) Yessss... With our debt surpassing the world GDP bringing a heavy hand to overspending and inept departments.
6) Does the stimulus sketch you out?
7) Yep... Ron Paul is an evil racist. We should not listen to any of his good views. He was probably even behind "Obama the Magic Negro".

When did i make any assertions Until something like, "abolishing the income tax is wrong because it reduces potential revenue repayment on the national debt" i can only respond in kind.

You do not see me going into any other thread making comments, and refusing to back them up.
