Ron Paul's mission: The Republic of Freedom

Reagan holds the distinction of being the oldest elected president at the ripe old age of 69. He served two terms and left at age 77, so I guess it can be done, but there have also been murmurings that he was already suffering the beginnings of Alzheimer's while in office. Not exactly the guy you want with his finger on "the button". Wait, let me guess, Ron Paul is going to do away with the button.

I like what the guy is saying, but what he's proposing is ridiculous. Even if he was elected, the office of the presidency doesn't hold enough power to accomplish everything he proposes to do. I agree with him in principle, hell, I might even vote for him, but I'm not going to hold my breath that much will change. I certainly wouldn't get myself all worked up defending the guy.

"Defendin the guy"? Any goddamn day of the week, and you can count on that! But more than that, I'll defend his messege, and you should be doin the same. So what exactly does it take to get you "all worked up", Morpheus? If the current state o' affairs aint enough to do that then you've been asleep at the switch. Its all goin down the schitter and you people are too phuckin brainwashed to realize it. I'm disgusted with the lot of ya. There aint nothin "ridiculous" about his proposals, and the fact that you'd even say as much shows just how far gone ya are. As for the extent of executive authority, past presidents have done far more unbelievable things with executive orders than what Dr. Paul proposes. He'll take it as far as he can and then We The People will do the rest. Ya let me down, man...I expected better from ya.

Easy Al, you'll get too worked up and you'll be tasting that Saltillo platter in the back of your throat all night! I like what RP has to say. I've admitted as much, but it's not as if you can expect that he'll take office, wave his magic wand, and *poof* no more income tax, no more war, no more this or that. It's great to say, "Hell, I think we should all have wings so we can fly about free of our earthly cares"-that doesn't mean it's going to happen.

I agree the current state of affairs is rotten. It's gotten so bad that people will believe in fairy tales. I haven't lost any respect for you, Al, for believin' in such. It's still a free country right? Where we can have different opinions and beliefs without being bullied or oppressed by others? That's what RP preaches isn't it Al? More personal freedom? I think you trampled all over mine! But, you're still A-OK in my book.

I'm sorry Morph, forgive me. I had already decided to come back and tone down my last post, hopin nobody, especially you, had read it yet, but I was too late. They say ya should "never go grocery shoppin when you're hungry"...well "never post when you're pissed off" is probably sage advice also. You're ok in my book too, because I know for a fact I wouldnt have reacted as well as you did to my last post. Listen, it's that serious, people. Ya hafta resist the urge to swallow the complete and utter bullschit the one party with two heads and the main stream media is rammin down your throats. Take a stand with Dr. Paul, help him help you for Christ's sake! He's the only man they dont own, the only one who can turn this clusterphuck around before it's too late, and that scares the bastards half to death. They're pullin out all the stops, doin anything and everything they can to stop him, and I'm beggin ya all not to let that happen...I shouldnt hafta do that because it's your freedom, the fate of your nation that's at stake and because you're all old enough to know better than to take the "wait and see" approach on somethin as important as this, but I'm not too proud to beg if that's what it takes. Wanna know what the "wait and see" approach'll get ya? Exactly what it's always gotten ya...a choice between the lesser of two evils (which really aint a choice at all) and more of the same...that's what! Well it doesnt hafta be that way this time, because this time we have a man of true integrity to champion our freedom! He's the taxpayer's best friend, the businessman's best friend, the gunowner's best friend...next to your gun, he's the best friend an American can have! So seize the day! Get over to www.ronpaul2008.com and donate, get out there and wave signs on 70th, do whatever ya can to take your country back from the oligarchs. Here's your big chance to peacefully reign in our out-of-control government and put it back where it belongs, subordinate to We The People. Cuz hear me now and believe me later, if ya let this opportunity pass ya by you'll regret it for the rest of your lives.

As for the anonymity, phuck it! Whatever anyone has in mind for me and mine I'll give it back in spades! This fight's been a long time comin, Dr. Paul has kindled the righteous fire of freedom and liberty in my heart and I'm as ready as I'll ever be so bring it, ya ratphucks!
