    In other words, you like the status quo and want to preserve it.

    Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the ‘criminal justice system,’ I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal. — Printed In Ron Paul’s Newsletter

    The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. — Ron Paul

    Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action. — Printed In Ron Paul’s Newsletter (but not written by him)

    The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance. — Ron Paul

    In May 2011, Paul said he would not have ordered the raid that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, calling the operation "absolutely not necessary"[72]. Instead he would have done it differently, stating that America should have worked with the Pakistani Authorities who in the past had arrested Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other terrorists who were then tried in court. Paul also stated that other alternatives were viable that were less of a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty, such as the original bombing of the compound that was planned. (ROFLOLOLOLOL-TOM)

    "Is it really in the interest of the United States to guarantee the survival of any foreign country?" - Ron Paul

    "I agree on getting rid of the IRS, but I want to replace it with nothing, not another tax" - Ron Paul

    "The Constitution forbids the states to make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debt, nor does it permit the federal government to make anything a legal tender." The Commission also recommended that the federal government "restore a definition for the term 'dollar.' We suggest defining a 'dollar' as a weight of gold of a certain fineness, .999 fine." -- Ron Paul

    --------------------------------
    In addition to the above, his idiotic concept of backing money with gold is so foolish as to be beyond belief.

    Not a one of those quotes contitutes "nuts", not even the one you attribute to him that he didn't write.

    Can you explain why backing money with gold is foolish, please?

    We differ on out political opinions, that is obvious.

    Since all the gold reserves of America, if valued at 1500 dollars to the ounce, would have a total value of 383 billion dollars, and the total gold ever mined would total less than 7 trillion dollars, it is quite obvious why it is a foolish, stupid and completely nutty idea.

    Gold is valued because of its rarity.
    Even more rare than gold is the full faith and trust in the ability of any govt to back its paper supply of money. The ONLY nation the world depends on for that is AMERICA. The dollar is the world standard for money. Its value is acceptable to all.

    he is nuts because of his beliefs, and the things published in HIS newsletter, with HIS permission are his beliefs.

    And since you don't agree they are all nutty, all that shows is that we have different political beliefs.

    Mmk. Right on, which of his beliefs is nuts? Eh? Don't know much about the man? Well give it a go anyway. None of the things you listed would qualify as nuts. I always find it amazing that people who know virtually nothing about Ron Paul passionately dislike him.

    Do you even know what his positions are? Or do you have to resort to a one off comment in a news letter from 30 years ago that he didn't write and has not given even a shred of support for before or since?

    Maybe, I am not sure yet. I'll have to weigh the options. He says a lot of common sense things you aren't hearing from many others.

    People who hate Liberty have no choice but to lie about those who support it.

    No, it's not. What's foolish, stupid and completely nutty is printing money with nothing to back it up.

    A faith-based monetary system? GW Bush must be might proud! Let's pray our gubmint stays solvent.

    I am not a Ron Paul supporter. Just going to throw that out there. But I do agree with him that our drug laws are ridiculous, that the wars need to be ended, and the government spends money on pointless stuff, such as oil subsidies.

    So here's a clever idea..

    Lets take The liberal left and let them control some states..and see what happens.
    Illinois..New York..Mass.Calif.

    Lets take some ANTI drug laws crapola and give them a State or 2..say Calif. and Oregon.

    See which states have the most problems.

    Those that are liberal and dont want drug laws enforced....or the conservative states that do.
    SEE MEXICO when the drug guys get a free run..and then you want to regulate it or control it ?
    See any corruption fears?
    Death or destruction worries.?

    Ron Paul making the fed out as boogeymen without telling you his substitution is just wrong.
    Johnson telling the grass smoking sheep that the other way is better..without PROOF is just another sideline note.
    DENMARK is now changing back..the evidence is is out there..read.

    This is why most conservatives are lying when they claim to be for small government. Totalitarian control over the individual's body is part of their mantra and they are more than willing to continue the Drug Lord Price Support Program (aka War on Drugs) which kills thousands of people, leads to destruction of civil liberties, and funds the police state.

    Yes, our money is currently valued only by the "full faith and credit" of the US government. In fact, only a few very tiny nations back their money with anything REAL anymore.
    Gold has no INTRINSIC value except for its physical properties. It is pretty and it has an excellent electrical transmission quality.
    What you want to do is make gold so costly, (hmm, at least a million dollars an ounce, to support the current and future money supply of the USA), that our use of it in computers and other electrical items will cease, thereby reducing the capability of them. And no one will ever have a gold wedding band again.
    Corn has far more intrinsic value than gold. Corn can be eaten and allow you to live. Gold is just pretty.
