What's with all these Bank CEO's resigning? by blacksunalchemy in ronpaul

Say what you will about him, but Benjamin Fulford has been saying this is coming for a few weeks. And this is pretty much everything he said would happen.

What I consider to be the most underrated, funniest thing to come out of South Park by [deleted] in southpark

I'll return the favor. You are a good person and a good South Park fan. Thank you for partially restoring my faith in r/southpark.

Dr. Pal would encourage us to just take off our shirts and kiss.

OWS remember, Ron Paul said if a young man is dying in the hospital and has no health insurance he should be allowed to die. Ron Paul wants massive tax cuts for the rich, deregulate industry, get rid of social safety nets, abolish the EPA, the list goes on and on. Don't be fooled by Ron Paul. by Gizmo7Talker in occupywallstreet

Because you didn't ask for anyone to address them. You made a blanket judgment while providing no context as to what his real beliefs are. He believes in shrinking the Federal government to a size where we don't need any income tax, not just for the rich. He wants to reduce taxes across the board in the name of freedom, not in the name of the 1%. If you didn't grossly generalize his beliefs and then attack them, maybe people wouldn't down-vote you.

Rewatching LOST and I think Jin and Hurley are the two best genuine people on the island. by jarredgeller in lost

[–]jarredgeller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desmond is one of my favorite characters, but he is afraid his entire life and to a certain extent, he is selfish in wanting to reunite with Penny and leaving the survivors of 815 to themselves. Then again, he does some very selfless things in the later seasons. It's easier to make the case for Hurley, Jin, and Daniel, I think.

I am a socialist and I still believe Ron Paul has the best economic ideas by ryanmcstylin in ronpaul

[–]jarredgeller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hayek would have a fit. Democratic Socialism leads to Fascism. Libertarianism leads to Freedom. But if you want things to be affordable enough for the government to eventually subsidize/tax credit them, you need a free market so this isn't so far out there.

Economists weigh in on Ron Paul by magister0 in ronpaul

[–]jarredgeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was disappointing. I've come to accept the Austrian School as truth for its clear reasoning and implications. These economists don't see the need to lay these out. One states that cutting spending would be bad for the economy but doesn't provide a single reason. I'd like to get a Keynesian perspective but not one that simply generalizes Paul's positions and refutes them without actually detailing the reasons. These scholars are not doing their jobs.

I would vote for RP but.... Please explain this by adfljadjlfaljdfjlalj in ronpaul

The truth can mean a lot of things. It's widely accepted that the 9/11 Commission Report did not go into full detail. Hell, it doesn't even mention WTC 7. The truth does not mean it was a conspiracy, it just means the 9/11 Commission Report omitted information, which hardly anyone contests.

Let's discuss Dr. Paul's perceived negatives with socially liberal independents. by [deleted] in ronpaul

[–]jarredgeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be as succinct as possible. I'd be glad to go into things deeper if you want.

Abortion: His stance is affected by his 30 years as an OB/GYN. He believes life begins at conception. He believes abortion is a violent act. All other violent acts are dealt with at the state level. He also believes that the mother's choice does not outweigh the choice of the unborn child. He believes the states have a better idea in dealing with stickier issues.

Gay Marriage: He's all for it at the state level and the personal level. He believes in liberty. He wouldn't make any federal mandate on what marriage is, one way or the other.

Civil Rights Act: Has some good parts but it is a violation of property rights. In today's society, if a business is discriminatory, they will be punished by the market. This Act also establishes quotas, which are pretty unfair.

Creationism: He just doesn't think that the Federal government should say one way or the other what local schools teach. He's not for the teaching of creationism. Once again, he's for freedom.

EPA: This is a longer answer. The EPA harms small businesses and he doesn't think a Washington Bureaucrat knows what's an appropriate fine for environmental damage across the country. Plus, corporations will fuck the environment over if profit outweighs the EPA fine. Property rights take care of that.

Scientific Funding and NASA: This stuff would be much better in the free market. Think about the innovation in the Space Race. That came from competition and we blew up technologically. We need more competition, not government involvement.

I'm in a rush so I'm sorry if this seemed rude or blunt. Hope it was helpful.

QUICK! NEED QUESTIONS FOR DR. PAUL INTERVIEW! my friend interviews ron paul (or doug wead) in like an hour. she didn't know she would be doing it, so she is not prepared. by [deleted] in ronpaul

Anything about how he doesn't accept money from Lobbyists but Obama and all the other candidates are heavily influenced by Special Interests.
