Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread

Love this paragraph from that

"Yes, I know some of you are climate skeptics. But if the chance of mainstream science being right is only 20% (and assuredly it is much higher than that), we still have, in expected value terms, a massive tort. We don’t let people play involuntary Russian roulette on others with a probability of 17% (one bullet, six chambers), so we do need to worry about man-made global warming."

You just sound mad. You are also lumping every Ron Paul supporter into some homogenous image. Not every Ron Paul supporter agrees with RP on everything or with each other.

Of course there will be idealogues from every facet of politics. And there's always consipiritards, etc.

Oh he mad, I don't think there is any question about that.

glenrice i dunno if u lived in canada but i do, over 40 years now.

u know why canada didn t crash like the usa did, because they kept the freakin regulation on banks, even tho Harper ( now prime minister wich is scary) wanted to lessen the regulation on them for the holy grail no regulation.


has for free market , LOL.

u know CRTC ? thats what prevent foreign company to come in canada and do business in the telecomunication market, like TV, cell phone,etc.

about the financial sector, only a couple of canadian bank owns the financial sector because its closed to the outside world.

the number of subsidies that exist for a lot of company, even oil company is insane.

why the hell u think the USA always go forward at the OCM vs Canada for the wood industry , because canadian are good on the free market ???


please stop talking cause u obv. dunno what your talking about....


btw, the canadian $ is super strong because of the oil sand in alberta :

i've never heard anyone accuse ron paul of sleeping with his slaves before, where are you getting your info from?!

Having a gay employee does not mean you aren't bigoted. Ron Paul supports denying gay people the civil right of marriage. Ron Paul, and ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS HIM, is therefore an anti-gay bigot.

What sort of evidence do you need? My decision to go to Iowa was due to geographical constraints rather than ability or intelligence. I guess there's no successful economists that have ever come from places other than Harvard, Stanford or Booth.

In 1988, Ron had a hardcore Libertarian supporter, Jim Peron, Owner of Laissez Faire Books in San Francisco. Jim set up a magnificent 3-day campaign swing for us in the SF Bay Area. Jim was what you would call very openly Gay. But Ron thought the world of him. For 3 days we had a great time trouncing from one campaign event to another with Jim’s Gay lover. The atmosphere was simply jovial between the four of us. (As an aside we also met former Cong. Pete McCloskey during this campaign trip.) We used Jim’s home/office as a “base.” Ron pulled me aside the first time we went there, and specifically instructed me to find an excuse to excuse him to a local fast food restaurant so that he could use the bathroom. He told me very clearly, that although he liked Jim, he did not wish to use his bathroom facilities. I chided him a bit, but he sternly reacted, as he often did to me, Eric, just do what I say. Perhaps “sternly” is an understatement. Ron looked at me directly, and with a very angry look in his eye, and shouted under his breath: “Just do what I say NOW.”

The second involved two other staffers and may have caused one of them to resign:

“Bobby,” a well-known and rather flamboyant and well-liked gay man in Freeport came to the BBQ. Let me stress Ron likes Bobby personally, and Bobby was a hardcore campaign supporter. But after his speech, at the Surfside pavilion Bobby came up to Ron with his hand extended, and according to my fellow staffer, Ron literally swatted his hand away.
But yeah, he probably just had the squits and didn't want to stink up his dear dear friend's bathroom and thought the other guy was going for five down below.

This part is a joke, right? I mean, I think it is but I just want to make sure.

Also, while his story may be true, lololol at quoting Dondero to make a point.
11-17-2012 , 07:15 PM
those stories sound like bull**** to me.

i have a picture of a gay black friend of mine with Him and they have their arms around each others backs.
11-17-2012 , 07:15 PM
Wow.

Wow harsh. I'm something of a Ron Paul supporter but I strongly and unequivocally support gays' right I marry, adopt, etc... And I think the constitution should prevent any level of government from restricting those things. Am I an anti-gay bigot?

Re: the regulation talk I think regulations that protect the environment and the consumers are appropriate functions of govt but some people seem to be assuming that all regulations actually serve that purpose. Many regulations are misguided or serve corporate/special interests.

I've read that part of what caused the housing bubble were regulations passed in the Clinton era designed to make it easier for minorities to get mortgages, followed by an agenda of the Bush administration to promote home ownership. Lack of regulation in certain areas also led to the bubble and ensuing financial crisis. The part that irks me is that these banks and lenders that made horrible decisions, in a free market, would've gone bankrupt. Instead the govt steps in and bails them out by buying their toxic assets and then lending them money at essentially 0 interest.

Ron Paul is a doctor who made up lies about AIDs in his newsletters. It's pretty obvious where he stands.

And this is the point where I realize that either a)you trollin bro, or b)you crazy bro.

Let me know how this is anti-gay.
Ron Paul on "is marriage between one man and one woman?":
"That's my personal belief, but that doesn't mean I should write laws and force other people to accept my standards."

I vow never to speak to them again for the rest of my life, or have any communications with them. They are in short, the enemies of liberty. They deserve nothing less than hatred and utter contempt.

I strongly urge all other libertarians to do the same. Are you married to someone who voted for Obama, have a girlfriend who voted 'O'. Divorce them. Break up with them without haste. Vow not to attend family functions, Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas for example, if there will be any family members in attendance who are Democrats.

Do you work for someone who voted for Obama? Quit your job. Co-workers who voted for Obama. Simply don't talk to them in the workplace, unless your boss instructs you too for work-related only purposes. Have clients who voted Democrat? Call them up this morning and tell them to take their business elsewhere.

Have a neighbor who votes for Obama? You could take a crap on their lawn. Then again, probably not a good idea since it would be technically illegal to do this. But you could have your dog take care of business. Not your fault if he just happens to choose that particular spot.
And his personal website is basically a hate site:

http://www.libertarianrepublican.net/

Plus, he was fired by Paul and is pretty butthurt about that too.
