Dead-on accurate observation, Kirk.

This whole list is emotional kaka de toro. Ron Paul has sworn three oaths (Hippocratic Oath, Officer's Oath, Congressional Oath) and he has never violated an oath a single time. What is there about honesty and truthfulness that troubles people? Oh, I forgot - truth tellers are not controllable by the power elite, so they have to be destroyed. I simply hope the American people see through the bull crap and look at Ron Paul seriously. He was, after all, only 150 votes short of being number one. If we elect another globalist (like Perry), we can kiss our country bye bye.

Hal, you still sound like a progressive jerk. Is that what you are trying to do? When do you get to grow up and mature?

"Conservatives, however, do. Pretend, that is. When there is a conflict between state sovereignty and conservative policies, their reverence for the 10th Amendment abruptly goes by the wayside." I think this is generally unfair and untrue. "That became apparent several years ago, when the Bush administration asserted its power to prevent Californians from using medical marijuana after the state allowed it. It also tried to block an Oregon law allowing doctor-assisted suicide. Attorney General John Ashcroft had no qualms about mobilizing the fearsome resources of the federal government when states veered out of line." I don't think these actions are actions of conservatives and libertarians - I think these are actions of the power elite

"The Declaration [of Independence] outlined the proper relationship between government and citizens, noting that government derives its "just powers from the consent of the governed" (and) "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." " I'm locked and loaded and ready to restore our lawful and constitutional government. The commies have been in control for far too long.

Governments produce nothing. Governments use force and violence to exert one man's will over another. Keep on doing as you have been doing progressives - the ideological war will go one way or another. We will either return to personal freedom and liberty, or you too will join us in communist hell. Your call. Are you ready to wake up and smell the roses yet? Maybe I should rephrase that... are you awake?

Can I be a democrat destroying terrorist? Sorry. I meant a communist, totalitarian, progressive, elitist, democrat destroying terrorist? Please...

I love the tongue in cheek humor, but the existence of anti-American and un-American lawless progressives, communists, unions, democrats, banksters, one worlders, power elites, etc. is a serious matter. Not only should these people be shunned for their lawless behavior, but they should be banned from participating in our government. If you're not dedicated to helping America, you're not part of the process. Which brings me to another point. We are in trouble with the federal government because it does not, and will not, police itself. Combining this fact with the understanding that the states do not rein in the rogue federal government means the people will have to do it. If we do it, it will get messy. We are becoming culturally...

Mac, Now, that is a sensible post. Thank you.

Mac, Odell's post is wise? What planet are you from? You guys must have arrived here from the same planet together. Planet Progressive.
