He wants to try terrorists in civilian courts? Where did the Republican Party of five years ago go?

Ron Paul will never be President. Who cares what he says?

Maybe Ron Paul has morphed into Obama 2008.

ETA: What ever happened to that guy?

It doesn't take a crystal ball to make that prediction with certainty.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

he has a damn good point. He usually does as well.

It really is a shame someone with basic common sense would never be President.

I don't like some of his ideas on defense, but he's spot on here.

Essentially because Pakistan was a "brown" nation, we had no problem doing what we did.

If he were ANYWHERE in the western world, we wouldn't have touched him and followed the protocol that he's talking about.

Maybe he wouldn't have lived in the western world for close to a decade. Maybe governments in the western world would have been somewhat more cooperative and somewhat less corrupt than the Pakistani government. Maybe there's another reason than the color of skin as to why what happened in pakistan wouldn't have happened ANYWHERE in the western world. Just maybe...

Was wondering what was going to be posted to slam Ron Paul when he announced Friday he was running for President again.

I do, within his occasional craziness he can be spot on.

Just curious. What is it that you see as being crazy? Usually when I ask this from others that say this what they tell me does not seem crazy to me.

He does seem to have some lucidity in his recent appearances. Perhaps he has finally found the correct medications and dosages for his condition.

Off the top of my head, the reserve issue. I don't see how we could can break from the fiat system and go back to a reserve system. If anything, it would expose the true weakness of the dollar.

I also don't think its possible to get rid of the IRS at this stage in the life of the country.

Those are the same two things I always hear also that makes him crazy. It is hard to see how we can get rid of both but I also think we can. To say that it is crazy for just saying it though is admitting defeat and allowing the status quo to continue. To me anyway we are creating a weak dollar that will never return to a strong one but we can and should create a strong dollar. Any country that has ever had fiat money in history has eventually failed and usually has failed badly.

As for the IRS all we have to do is roll back the Federal government to levels where an income tax is not needed. We can do that at anytime but our two major parties and the media will not allow that. It would also give up a huge amount of power.
