Tailor made for Ron Paul supportersDroidPhysX

I like some things about Ron Paul, but I cannot stand a lot of his supporters. So god damn annoying.

And seriously TC, a youtube video? Clearly the best source for reliable information.

And that video was about as far from reality as you can get.

sUeSA, as much as i hate current IP laws and the "protective" state, i really cant back "THE TRUTH!", sadly i cannot spell out the dramatic music that plays in my head when "THE TRUTH!" is said/typed/thought

I always lol from this kinda stuff.

It sure looks like the U.S. is taking into it's heart the tradition of the continent and becoming a banana republic. All the moronic crap ultra-right/left alarmists are shouting about is sure to be a sign of that.

It is definitely propoganda esque and a lot of it is completely false, but some of it has some 'truth' to it. To be honest a lot of what I watched of that video was pretty laughable and was just senseless fear mongering for obviously uninformed individuals.chandlerr_360

Another election period, another time for all of the Ron Paul supporters to come out of hiding and flood the internet with garbage.

It's a corporatocracy not a democracy. Like most of the world.kuraimen

It's a republic. Don't know why we even call it a democracy. I'd argue that we're also sort of an unofficial aristocracy.

This... Its a democracy all right, but a democracy for the wealthy, for it is only their voice that gets heard and validated, because of their money/power! Corporatocracy, and corporiticians! It isn't that the poor is uninterested, its that they are shoved aside and get told lets hear from people that actually make money!

i hate the corporatiststate as much, if not more than, your average person but damn i will never understand how or why people blame the companies asking for special treatment over the ones with power who grant it. also i laugh whenever someone calls our restricted and protected economy a capitalist free market.

Very well put.

I too find it interesting that those who bemoan the currying of govt power/favoritism think the solution is more govt power .............that can then be purchased by the wealthy.

All people are ultimately self-interested and will pursue their own best interests. But it is only those in govt that have the police power of the state at their disposal to obtain their interests, and those of who they favor.

Ron Paul 2012 I say

True the US is an Capitalist dictatorship where economics controls every aspect of human life. The US never was a real democracy.

Thank God that I don't live in the US though because if I was, I would die homeless on the streets.

US has more freedom of speech than any other country. Even if you say something in Canada, they can still investigate you if they don't like it.

You would die homeless on the streets because you would refuse to work like a spoiled brat.

Because they are contributing to the behavior of said government. Were I to use rhetoric the way Ron Paul does, the corporations are employing professional bank robbers. (ofc, so do all special interests)
