sarcasm, thread derailment and bullshit are all different than flaming. It has nothing to do with the neo-con wolfpack.

No, I'm not going to re-read the rules. If these neo-cons can post sarcastic, insulting, thread derailing bullshit so can I.
a-fucking-men. but seriously, just get used to it. my solution was the ignore button.
So that's another one. I can and will be as insulting and sarcastic about the uber-tard Ron Paul as I damn well please. He is a phony, a buffoon and a hypocrite and he is playing you all for fools. Even if the earth shook to its core and this nutlog got elected he still couldn't do one thing he has bamboozled you children into thinking he supports. Except precipitously remove every soldier from Iraq and anywhere else. That'll probably lead to some real good theater.
One of my favorite cartoons of all time is of this mean guy standing by a special ed school with a can of spray paint and a sign that reads "Your Message On a Moron, $5."

You have been warned, as have they. Do it again, and you can discuss politics somewhere else for a few days. I hate being a jerk, but flames and troll comments have no place here. I try to apply the rules fairly without playing favorites towards anybody or any political position.

I think this board is pretty even handed about the rules.
And insulting people doesn't help your position. Insult the candidates or whatever, but ad hominem attacks are worthless.
I think people resort to this out of frustration that their world views aren't so blindly accepted in this forum as they are in others or in your isolated population of friends.

Ah well, won't be the first time i've been baned and likely won't be the last lol
I have no prob w/ others not accepting my "world view" I just like to try to even this board out some from time to time. It gets dominated by the neo-cons far too often for a site claiming to be against the war on drugs.
And claiming Ron Paul cannot do the things he claims he would do if elected might hold a little water if his voting record was shaky. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the president does not need congress approval to dissolve the IRS or the Federal reserve. Especially considering the constitution (remember that thing?) says congress is to control the printing of currency, not pass their duty on to a privately owned company. Those two entities do not have a legal leg to stand on I do not see a president having much problem throwing out the garbage were he to choose to do so.

I got da ron paul bumper sticker. I've already had people ask me who he is... so it's done some good.
4 years ago when I supported nader (meh what was i thinking) i had some nader bumper stickers sitting around in my car. Whenever I left my gym and walked back to my car I'd see a lot of Kerry/Edwards stickers on ppl's cars on the way. I remember thinking that it'd be funny if I took all my nader stickers and ran around the parking lot, slapping them on top of the kerry stickers. They'd never be able to get those off without ripping up the kerry stickers also.
Hah!

They worked it out. He'll be on Glen Beck, Tuesday Dec 18, 7:00 P.M. eastern. He'll get a full hour to better explain his sound bites. Hard to predict how it's going to go.
Video of Beck making the announcement-
To anyone doing anything to help raise awareness about RP, I just want to say THANK YOU!!!!!

This might be the single most ridiculous statement ever put on t3h intertubesQuote:

Approval? No, he doesn't need their approval. He can't do it. Congress would have to actually vote to do it. The Congress doesn't need the President's approval. He won't be able to decrim drugs either. Or a whole host of other things. Quote:

Well, the great legal scholar has spoken, refuting for all time over a century of learned and actual sitting justices' opinions. How on earth we ever got along without You is one of the great mysteries. You should write a book. Have a sticker.

I think that it should be Ron Paul interviewing Glen Beck, not the other way around.
I want to see how Beck thinks he can justify the slander he's used against Paul.

Cramer just had Paul on Mad Money. Had to be the best air time Paul has gotten yet. Cramer being a spaz pays off here as they focus on the ils of the Federal Reserve. They made for a neat contrast together. This is the sort of airtime Paul should always be getting.

zappa,
paul could indeed decide to not prosecute those laws he does not agree with, could he not?
As the democratic presidential candidates have said they'd not enforce the Controlled Substance Act with regards to medical marijuana dispensiaries in compliance w/ state law.
I agree this is not the best scenario, and moves closer to bullshit like the netherlands w/ "tolerated" possesion and shit like that, it seems possible, and is perhaps better than nothing.
Edit:
Though I agree dissolving the IRS would be impossible.

Haha, I watch Cramer everyday and I actually recorded his interview with Ron Paul on my digicam!  Guess I don't have to upload it though... since someone else has beaten me to it! 
As for what I've done in support of Dr. Paul, I've donated $215 to his campaign, sent emails and am speaking to family and friends suggesting they take a look at the man and his stated agenda, traded my Libertarian affiliation for Republican (temporarily), distributing a couple hundred fliers, placing stickers and signs around, uploading a couple Ron Paul related videos to You Tube, and putting a self-printed banner in my rear car window. I also have a Ron Paul campaign jacket and T-shirt on the way from his online store.
I don't agree with everything the man says by a stretch, but I do admire his core principle of reduced federal government while returning more power to the individual states.
