Why would we want to elect the only one that cares about the liberties of individuals and wants to eliminate such helpful acts such as the NDAA which allows the government to be honest and call us what we are (prisoners), without a trial? Who wants to be free when clearly “maximum security” (prison) is the best policy, and liberty therefore must be removed completely so we can all “join together” (like they did in Auschwitz).
For the last time, the following mantras “Ron Paul does not exist”, “Ron Paul should not be taken seriously” and “liberty is slavery” was supposed to be repeated!
How could over 20% of the voters thus far not listen to their masters, in favor of a message of liberty?
Yes, everyone is familiar with the Libertarian Perfection Bureau.
Everyone living in reality, that is.

“You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down…
…those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course”
Ronald Reagan

Ron Paul is not Ron Reagan.
Sorry. Ron Reagan wouldn’t turn his back on his allies… or cater to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion crowd.
______
“In the weeks immediately after the bombing, I believe the last thing that we should do was turn tail and leave. Yet the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there. If there would be some rethinking of policy before our men die, we would be a lot better off. If that policy had changed towards more of a neutral position and neutrality, those 241 marines would be alive today.” (From his autobiography)
That’s exactly the kind of America Last, bullshit reality violation that cancels out Ron’s eligibility.
_________
Wait, so something Reagan said cancels out Paul’s eligibility?
Is Ron Paul that weak on defense? Shouldn’t Ron Reagan know?
“Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country.”
-Ronald Reagan
Ron Reagan is spinning in his grave regarding the “new Ron Paul.”
________
“Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.”
– Ron Reagan
“Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.”
– Ron Reagan
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”
– Ron Reagan
“Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.”
– Ron Reagan

Ron Reagan has more in common with Paul than you seem to think, and certainly more than just the first name.
He’s certainly better than the fake conservative candidate Rick Santorum
Rick Santorum:
“One of the criticisms I make is to what I refer to as more of a Libertarianish right. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down, keep our regulations low, and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. That is not how “traditional conservatives” view the world. There is no such society that I am aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.”
how is that different from what Bill Clinton said in a 1993 speech in Philadelphia?:
“If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees. The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people.”
… whatever.
“Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.”
– Ronald Reagan
You know it helps if your would fact check your quotes before spewing tin-foil hat stuff. That’s the problem with the Ron Paulists, and I know a few including active politicians. They just believe a bunch of crap because someone on the interwebs told them so.
Here’s the full Bill Clinton quote:
Clinton: You know, you can’t have – be so fixated on a desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans to legitimately own handguns and rifles. It’s something that I strongly support. You can’t be so fixated on that that when you’re unable to think about the reality of life that millions of Americans face on streets that are unsafe, under conditions that no other nation – no other nation – has permitted to exist. And at some point, you know, I still hope that the leadership of the National Rifle Association will go back to doing what it did when I was a boy and which made me want to be a lifetime member of it – (laughs) – because they put out valuable information about hunting and marksmanship and safe use of guns. But just to ignore the conditions we face today in a lot of our cities and other places in this country and the enormous threat to public safety is amazing.

And yes, Ronald Reagan is rolling in his grave with all of this bullshite.
Wtf that Bill Clinton quote is completely different… The fact check is on whether or not Clinton said “we should not be so Fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary americans… The one you quote was when he was in New Jersey
I’m not saying the satiracalmiracle’s quote wasn’t made up but it is clearly not the same one he is referring to. There’s a certain irony when you correct someone by telling m to fact check and then you proceed to copy and paste something seemingly different than the one he is referring to.
I found a speech in Philidelphia in the same year. The quote wasn’t the same but perhaps it is a paraphrasing of this?
“You know one thing that’s wrong with this country? Everybody gets a chance to have their fair say”

Maybe I’m missing something. But as a voter of Harry Brown (2000), the more I hear from 2012 Libertarians, the more offended and alienated I feel.
As though, being, in essence, holding conservative Republican views means I’m too biased and platform indoctrinated!
The impassioned “there aren’t two party” thing is all too hackneyed and trite. It sounds a lot more like liberal espionage.
“If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.”
– Bill Clinton, August 12, 1993
Have not yet found a transcript of this… But if the date is correct it’s not either of the aforementioned speeches.
“When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans… And so a lot of people say there’s too much personal freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it. That’s what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we’re going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.”
-President Bill Clinton, MTV’s “Enough is Enough,” April 19, 1994
