It is nice that their author was free to express them–for a while.

How ’bout these?

If we are wrong, the Supreme Court of this nation is wrong. If we are wrong, the Constitution of the United States is wrong. And if we are wrong, God Almighty is wrong.

And, like you, I do believe in liberty. I just don't see how we're going to get it all back from where we're currently sitting.And oppression has indeed lasted forever. When's the last time nobody on the face of the Earth was being oppressed? There have always been people being oppressed, people oppressing, and people who are more or less "free". Since corporatism has sucked all the profit it can out of oppressing the [traditionally] oppressed, it now has to turn to oppressing the "free". Has globalism ever failed? I guess we'll see.

It depends on the parties philosophy which can change if the people insist it (revolution). This has happened several times throughout history. Oppression cannot last forever, and always dies out.Are you trying to say that all of Ron Paul's efforts are worthless because there is no chance for liberty and we should just give up? .. So you don't think he should run for president in 2012 because it is hopeless? I believe in the people and I believe in liberty. Even if a libertarian candidate doesn't win in 2012, that doesn't mean they can't win in 2040. A libertarian can be in one of the two major parties.

They think either, "Anyone else running must not be worth my vote," or, "My vote for anyone else won't matter, because no one else will be voting that way."Frankly, I don't see a clear way out of the problem at hand [corporatism]. I'm optimistic, but I can't fathom the logistics of how to break all the ties that currently bind us to this awful system.
