Neocons are socialists, Trotskyites specifically. Where do you think the idea of a global democratic revolution came from? That is pure socialism. The Wall Street bailout was socialism at its Keynesian finest.
thats classic. Plimp gets smacked down for not being able to back up his wild claims and gets put in check and shown that uncle pauline was dead wrong about several things and the best he can do is whine about someone being a ron paul hater. Hilarious!! Typical of a paulbot. Hey paulbots I did not see uncle pauline on the ballot a couple days ago and you told me he was going to win, What happened?
@flossdaily:The only reason why many people are rightfully convinced that the Federal Reserve is the source of our economic woes is because they are the source of our monetary policy and credit expansion. They set the rules. They also set the price of money (interest rates)The mess we are in today was created by too much credit being pumped into the banking system by the Fed. Reserve. All the cheap money pumped into the system caused people to make bad investments. Not to mention our Democrat and Republican politicians in the federal government created and sponsored Fannie and Freddie. Our Democrat and Republican politicians also encouraged an increase in home ownership and encouraged banks to lend money very easily.Greed was a factor, but we'll never be able to remove greed. Greed has been around for ages and will probably stay around, but as long as we have a government that lets the marketplace function and doesn't protect or bailout companies, our court system should be enough to protect us from fraud. (Just like the Texas courts tried Enron)Interest rates should be controlled by individual banks and our money supply should be backed by gold and silver. (Just like our Constitution says). We'd be much better off and a lot more prosperous. We would live in a much better world if we had sound money.
@flossdailyI have no illusions as to our rosy history but I still don't think it was "hollow empty words" or "propaganda". It is certainly a stain on our country's character that blacks and native Americana's were treated they way that they were but at that time it would have been quite a radical proposal to consider them to have absolute equality. Unfortunately at that time they were not considered full "people" and that was used to justify their treatment with less than human dignity.You speak now as if you are incapable to doing the same. What would you think if in 100 years the act of abortion is considered genocide or eating meat has become taboo, and what we are doing now is not considered much different than how slaves where treated in the 1800's? Talking about woman's suffrage or homosexual rights at the time the constitution was written is ridiculous. Values change over time. Hopefully for the better but only time will tell.

Ron Paul is not a racist, the liberal media spoon fed you that tripe.

It's not weather you win or lose, it's how you play the game. Didn't your mother teach you anything?
