From around the country, Ron Paul's followers are descending on New Hampshire to go door-to-door for their man. But what do they really want?

    By the looks of this board

    the gummint has programmed most people very well to automatically assume more government is better.

    The reality is that government is a mafia, it only adds burdens and does not solve or do anything of value.

    One only need to see the utter failures of the southern border, our witless illegal wars, our unprotective FDA EPA CIA FBI which fail to stop poison foods/ bad people, a FEMA that is grossly inept, $3 TRILLION lost somewhere in the Pentagon, etc etc etc

    Government is fundamentally EVIL and corrupt and a gross burden on our nation.
