Read a report on his speech this morning. It's pretty condemning and inspiring at the same time. Once again RP is like the project manager who is right as rain, but waaaaay off brand. :/

He'd be the best president America could dream of. But presidential election isn't about choosing the right person. It's a liar contest. It's about choosing the Alpha male with the most oratory skills and PR budget.
People choose the one who promises them peace of mind, not someone who says "everyone should be free but the price is being responsible for yourself". No, they want to hear "you'll be safe, I'll take care of you". People want to be lied to in a comforting fashion.

is this the guy who said hes gonna take out the F.E.D. if he wins?
if so, he'd be "mysteriously" dead a week after he won.

His son is a fucking loon ..
- He's telling as it is: healthcare is not a 'right', it is a 'privilege'. Right is something that can be restricted...raf
- ...and a 'privilege' is something that can be granted. It is a huge difference you can build fallacies on if confused.raf
- What he said has never happened .. Physicians have made quite some loot over the last few centuries.Ramanisky2
- Slaves, I believe, made little to nothing for their services .. So wtf are saying raf?Ramanisky2
- He's explaining basics: healthcare is not a 'right'. Physicians are looting cause they closed the market.raf
- Were healthcare a 'right', you'd be able to demand it from govt. or healthcare practitioners.raf
- Judicial system works in this realm, you have a 'right' to a fair trial. No 'right' to aspirin or a bypass though.raf
- He's obviously colourfully exaggerating, state attorneys are obviously far from being your slaves in reality,raf
- Defend on .. raf ..
Defend onRamanisky2 - Raf stop with the logic! The other side can't even defend your position.VikingKingEleven
- The point raf is making if healthcare is a right then the govt can suspend those rightsVikingKingEleven
- Ram and others don't even look as an example of what not to do. Instead they look at europe as what to do.VikingKingEleven
- He's telling as it is: healthcare is not a 'right', it is a 'privilege'. Right is something that can be restricted...

Government, big corporations...both are giant power structures that can fuck you over.
I agree we need smaller government, but the trouble with Ron Paul and his followers is that they completely ignore the other side of things. In fact, they are in favor of scrapping things like food safety regulations and environmental protections which are almost certainly a good use of government.
- Net neutrality is another great exampleukit
- Somehow I doubt a large government will ensure net neutrality, it'll rather screw us all over.raf
- I don't think it needs to be big government, just a smart one that doesn't allow give in to big businessukit
- Real libertarianism is about opposing all forms of oppressive power, not just governmentukit
- You dont need heavy regulation if people who do harm are held responsible for their action if they cause harmyurimon

No one can free us from the corporations, it's too late. Ironically, a large well funded government is the only thing that slow them down, and they're losing the battle even now what with 20, 50, 100 corporate lobbyists for every representative.
