Comments on: Ron Paul on the Some of the Issues… http://www.manchicken.com/2007/politics/ron-paul-on-the-some-of-the-issues.html Rantings of a Questionably Sane Chicken Sat, 05 Jul 2008 08:52:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: manchicken http://www.manchicken.com/2007/politics/ron-paul-on-the-some-of-the-issues.html#comment-1273 manchicken Mon, 24 Dec 2007 14:11:00 +0000 http://www.manchicken.com/2007/politics/ron-paul-on-the-some-of-the-issues.html#comment-1273 cassy: Thanks for your support. I would like to let you and everybody else know that there is no revolution. Ron Paul and his campaign are no different from any other obscure politician's campaign. Lyndon LaRouche's folks have been swearing that he's a revolutionary candidate--and I wouldn't argue against their claims that he's different--but that doesn't mean that he's actually going to ever win or change anything. Ron Paul is just another Ross Pirot pimple on the backside of the Republican party, and I for one am hoping that he motivates that party to put forth a candidate that isn't complete crap. So far it looks like the Republicans have brought knives to the Democrats' gun fight, and the Democrats are really looking quite good right now... even to many conservatives. cassy: Thanks for your support.

At the point of free speech and the other <i>bona fide</i> constitutional arguments, you had me cheering, for as long as it lasted. Affirmative action is no more a constitutional issue than social programs are, but that's where we liberals (and radicals) diverge from the philosophy that individuals are solely responsible for their life situations while corporations get a free pass, welfare out the wazoo, and the unintended benefit of the Constitution to boot!

I'm not arguing any of the issues, I'm pointing out Dr. Paul's position on the issues. And I was pointing them out from multiple vantage points. It doesn't really seem like you understand the very premise of the article at all. Ron Paul is a neo-con fascist disguising himself as a libertarian. He is in opposition to much of what this country values. His paranoia of things such as NAFTA, among other things, has led him to believe that the government should be reduced rather than reformed. Ron Paul will destroy the US, and possibly the world. Although, according to the AP nation-wide polls, Ron Paul isn't even in the top five. Have fun with your campaign while you can folks.

I don't get your points, I guess. Let's take them point by point. Abortion- How can it be a crime to harm the unborn child during the commission of a crime but not a crime to abort a fetus? If that law is in effect then all abortion performing doctors are guilty of crimes. Embryonic cell research- Of course he's against it. How do you think embryonic cells are harvested? See abortion. Partial birth abortion- Do you really think Dr. Paul would be FOR partial birth abortions? Gimme a break. Federal Gov't defining what marriage is- Clearly Dr. Paul would oppose the federal gov't saying what marriage is or isn't. Patriot Act- Come on...do you know anything about the Patriot Act. If flies in the face of the Constitution, across the board. Desecrating the Flag- While abhorrent there should certainly NOT be a constitutional amendment protecting it. For godsakes, it represents the nation, the constitution, and the first amendment right to freedom of expression. Affirmative Action- Discrimination is discrimination, no matter what color you are, and it's unconstitutional. Gays in the military- Have you been in the military? It is not the civilian world, it is not a 'job'. It is a family unit. You might as well complain about females not being in front line combat units. The reasoning is the same. Again, I just don't understand your arguments. Dr. Paul bases his decisions on the Constitution, and nothing else. It's about time someone did. Hmm… I don’t get your points, I guess.
