 Hmm, even one of my brothers commented on this blog.
Ron Paul is a mixed bag. I agree with at least 90% of his positions, but the rest give me serious heartburn- especially his attitude towad the deadly threat of Iran. I agree that the majority of our laws are unconstitutional, that the government is far too deep in our pants, that the Fed is unconstitutional and our fiat money is becoming like monopoly money, that hard asset currency backing is needed, that we have far too many foreign bases and military expenditures and are involved in many things that we have no business doing and that are counterproductive. For instance, we were allies with Iran, then pissed them off and became enemies, then allied with Iraq against them, then had to go to war with an Iraq that we made too powerful and it went rogue, now we (ineptly) counter Iran's nuclear program, missile program and aggressive worldwide terror, which we enabled by neutering their worst enemy, Iraq. LOL! You can't make up stuff this stupid.
Ron, if we just legalized all drugs, it wouldn't make the problem go away. Either way is trouble. Technically, it is not constitutional to tell people what they can and can't ingest. On the other hand, much harm is done to others because of drugs. Our culture is rotten. There is sufficient leisure time and money to demand huge quantities of drugs, legal or illegal. These drugs corrupt and modify behavior adversely.
I take issue on a couple of things with Jim C., who I greatly respect.
Ron is correct about the secret process Obama uses. We don't even know if we'll end up on his list. We note that Homeland Security has put: gun owners, returning vetrans, Tea Partiers, militia, Oathkeepers and survivalists on their "watch list." At what point does that become a "pick up for questioning," "arrest," "imprison" or "kill" list? Without any objective criteria, transparency or accountability, we have no $%#^&! idea. That is exactly Ron's point. We have an imperial "Presidency" now and an illegitimate, unconstitutional "President."
Ron is also correct that although the Federal Govt. has no right to impose a monstrosity like Obamacare, a state does (although some taxation anfd other stuff therein may be unconstitutional). Read the Constitution again. I don't like it a bit and might leave a state that did that. My own state is becoming a Marxist "Peoples' Republic," which I only remain in for the weather, ocean and various human bonds. Commented 4580 days ago |
