I love Fringe! It’s a great show on Fox about pushing the boundaries of science. I guess the reason the dems are against Fringe is because they believe in consensus NOT science!

What does it matter if he’s a fundie? It’s not like he goes around demanding that people jump for Jesus or anything like that.
As far as the existing system being the most successful…how exactly do you measure that? Do you measure it by the wars we’ve started or the freedoms we have given away? It all goes hand in hand.

Does anyone know who Ron Paul would pick for his running mate? I know Democrat Dennis Kucinich would pick Ron Paul but would Ron Paul pick him? If he does, I think they would be amazing.

Nothing to see here. Unsuppported assertions ad nauseum. It’s easy to identify problems, anyone can do thet, but here we make assumptions that these new ideas will be better. Why? If these are such great ideas why don’t we see them applied elsewhere. Why are there no libertarian paradises around?
This is just another shovel of empty political crap…….

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who is willing to turn us away from our path toward economic collapse and chaos. All of the others offer more of the same failed policies.. All of the other candidates offer us the very UNREAL idea that government can fix our lives and give us all a fairy tale. Ron Paul is the only one who is grounded in reality. Let’s support the one who accepts that the reality of the Constitution and that freedom is the only solution to the human condition.

Ron Paul is the next Linoln or JFK. If he wins, we have to get him a pope mobile. Or at least a head to toe bullet proof suit.

If these guys want to disagree with Ron Paul that is one thing. But the fact that they need to LIE about what his positions in order to do so is actually quite interesting. If they can’t disagree with his ACTUAL positions and if they have to make stuff up in order to disagree with him — then maybe they ought to be voting for him, hmmm…?

Republicans know that he won’t be their puppet. Democrats know that he will dismantle the Democratic Party. So MSNBC and FOX won’t mention him.

I at first thought, who cares what some blogger writes? Bloggers lie. No surprise there. Big whoop. But just for the halibut, I clicked over to democrats daht org, and what do I find at the bottom of the page? “Paid for by the Democratic National Committee.” If that is truthful, what we have here is not some random blogger making up random lies, but the Democratic Party itself.
The power brokers of both major political parties are scared to death of Ron Paul.

Rothbard against flat tax:
mises.org/econsense/ch61.asp (from Making Economic Sense)
mises.org/rothbard/flattax.pdf
mises.org/daily/4296
Rothbard explaining why no tax is ‘just’:
mises.org/daily/2510
Rothbard on how no tax is ‘neutral’:
mises.org/rothbard/myth.pdf
I really don’t expect Ron Paul would support a flat tax or ‘fair’ tax. Maybe if it was part of a bill that simultaneously abolishes the IRS he may, otherwise I doubt it.

Anyone who understands Ron Paul’s most significant mentor (Murray Rothbard) would know RP ultimately would’nt support 10% flat tax.
MR wrote many arguments against the flat tax (one titled ‘The Case Against the Flat Tax’), one of his many arguments against it is that at least a complex tax code allows opportunities to reduce your burden, another is that it promotes a shorter chain of production thus discouraging division of labor.
Another article by MN against it is here:
