WTF?! That video is nowhere near M MM MMM A A A X Headrom, are you kidding me?
Trippy? The writer must've gotten a little too sentimental, but anyway, pick up his book which comes out the end of this month. - Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -2/+18freedom is scary to domesticated cattle and sheep. They can't imagine the unnamed unexplored terrors of the wild, so their imaginations run overtime.
- lpmiller, on 04/25/2008, -9/+2wow, you can almost physically taste the pretentiousness in that post.
- rficwizard, on 04/25/2008, -0/+11Yes. A lot of us need to do a lot better in terms of selling our good ideas to people. The Advocates for Self Government is a great resource. http://www.theadvocates.org/
- Becca4RonPaul, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7lpmiller--the great owl speaks truth. It's not pretentious to accurately describe what the American people by and large have been reduced to.
- lpmiller, on 04/25/2008, -5/+1Yes is, because it takes the position of superiority, that your behavior is somehow not sheep like just because it's not the same behavior as the other sheep. Which is an assumption, not a given. True or not, it's still pretentious. And really useless in getting anyone on your side.Truth - debatable or not - is not an excuse or defense against arrogance.
- michael4lsu, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4Sort of like saying one person is pretty and another is ugly and another is athletic and another is intelligent, right? We should prohibit the use of all adjectives for people, so that we can all be perfectly equal sheep in our communist world. Is that what you're eluding to?
- Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -1/+2its not arrogance to speak fact. sorry you can't handle the truth... if my statement upsets you maybe you should look into yourself deeper because there is a reason for it.
- lpmiller, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2No, that's not what I'm saying at all. You don't help your side when you come off as a prick. You can digg me down till the end of days, and that will still be true.
- PeppermintPig, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1If anybody took the time to find and read these words, then they have more than a mere passive lifestyle ignorant to the true nature of the political arena. These kinds of phrases, in pro-liberty circles, are very colloquial in nature. It's not meant to be a personal attack, but if you're pissed off and offended, I think that is the best response. But if offended is the only thing you take away, then you've missed the point entirely.

- Todash19, on 04/26/2008, -0/+6Ron Paul:
We now are a nation known to start war.
We feel compelled because of our insecurity, that we have to go over and attack these countries to maintain our empire.
We have over 700 bases -- we’re in 130 countries. And they’re talking about bombing Iran.
It is such a dramatic change from what is truly American, and truly Constitutional.
I don’t want to run the world!
The Constitution doesn’t give me the authority to run the world!
We ought to mind our own business is what we need to do!
With all this spending overseas wasting money!
This is a continuation of a revolution. It is a peaceful revolution. It’s up to you to spread this message around this country.
This is an American cause, it’s the cause of freedom.
There's something going on in this country, and it’s big!
Spread the message! Thank You! - lodibug3, on 04/26/2008, -0/+4I want to know if we have enough of our military HERE at HOME to protect us? Or... is there another agenda behind being spread out all over the world?
- moontime, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2They are away from home by design. They want to bring foreign troops to police us, because they won't hesitate to kill Americans.
