Ron Paul gets it
[Read the article: What you missed while watching "Oprah"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ron Paul gets it
That should be Paul's campaign slogan. IIRC the reason he got into politics was his opposition to fiat currency and central banking. He was heavily influenced by Rothbard, Mises, and the rest of the Austrian School. Mises was obviously not a socialist.
In fact, "Ron Paul gets it on Iraq". That is what is being said in a new ad that is being put out by Americans Against Escalation In Iraq:

It is a large organization. It praises Paul and condemn the rest of the Republicans, using the MSNBC debate from last night to get all the footage.
uh oh... wait... oh noes... we have a problem...
Americans Against Escalation in Iraq is a group of independent entities, including the Service Employees International Union, MoveOn.org Political Action, VoteVets.org, Center for American Progress Action Fund, USAction, Win Without War, Campaign for America's Future, the United States Student Association, Working Assets, Americans United for Change, Campus Progress Action and Nation Security Network, that have banded together as a coalition to launch a multi-faceted, multi million dollar effort in fifteen target states to education the American public about the true costs of the war in Iraq, mobilize opposition against President Bush's Iraq policy, as well as apply on-going pressure on members of Congress to oppose this failed policy.
Someone call Billo and Rush. Anti-American Paul must hate the good General, The Troops, and every American. He must be a pawn of Soros, that wacky superevil criminal mastermind. Better get the Venture Brothers on the case.

"reality" and the Supreme Court
[Read the article: Giuliani: Obey the Constitution. Huckabee: Ignore Congress]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I love how politicians and bureaucrats like to bring up Supreme Court decisions when they are convenient, yet if you are in a tax case, or some other case against the State, all of a sudden the judges are the law in their courtroom and declare the Supreme Court "irrelevant" to the case.

The Bombing Iran Question should be on "Are you smarter than a 4th Grader?"
[Read the article: What you missed while watching "Oprah"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]if you were president of the United States, would you need to go to Congress to get authorization to take military action against Iran's nuclear facilities?.
I remember in high school everyone had to pass a US History/Constitution test. This question seems like something that should be on that test, a test for teenagers, or even a question on "Are you smarter than a 4th Grader?". But no, instead it is being asked as a "serious" debate question to test a bunch of naked warmongers in clown makeup.
But at least they further exposed their contempt for the Constitution and The People, and their moral bankruptcy. You could have put Caesar or some tin pot dictator on the stage and got the same answer. Pretty sad.

and when he says "lawyers"
[Read the article: What you missed while watching "Oprah"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does he mean the corrupt intellectual "academic" elites at neocon snake pits like the American Enterprise Institute, does he mean hand picked sycophants in the Justice Department, does he mean his CFR handlers, does he mean the Israeli, Military Industrial, and Energy lobbies?
The track records of the "lawyers" he is referring to aren't looking all that credible. I imagine people like testicle crusher John Woo will make sure to shave their legs and clean their cheerleader uniforms before Mitt stops by for a chat.

Estimates of a million dead civilians and partitioning the country
[Read the article: The paranoid withdrawal fantasy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Words like genocide and ethnic cleansing are only to by used when the bad guys are the ones doing it. Maybe we can kill and displace a few more million civilians in Iraq, then we won't have to worry about genocide or ethnic cleansing when we leave, we would have already taken care of it all. But if genocide does occur "after we leave", it is only finishing what we have already started.
Genocide and ethnic cleansing are already taking place in Iraq, millions or Iraqi civilians are already displaced, and hundreds of thousands are dead. The claim that the terrorists will have a safe haven in Iraq if we leave is also not true, the terrorist ALREADY HAVE a safe haven in Iraq. The atrocities occurring in Iraq will only be referred to as genocide and ethnic cleansing once we leave, so that it appears to be happening under someone else's watch, and the reality of the Iraqi "terrorist safe haven" will be acknowledged at that time as well, and blamed on whoever pulled out the troops.
The US political elites talk about Balkanizing Iraq with a three state solution, if any other country had invaded Iraq and attempted to split it up into three regions, the same elites would be crying all over the place about "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide", simply because the perceived "bad guys" are the ones doing it and not them.

You should have watched the deabte before opening your mouth....
[Read the article: What you missed while watching "Oprah"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"THe best way to crush the poor people and make the Rich people Ultra-Rich?"
Perhaps you should have watched the debate then, because Ron Paul was saying the exact opposite, and exposed exactly how the Class War works and how the rich are fleecing everyone else through the creation of money by the Federal Reserve. The rich get the money first, when it is worth 100% of its printed value. By the time it trickles down to the middle class, poor, and those on a fixed income, the money is inflated and worth less.
