Ron Paul haters find Liberty Dollar maker guilty before trial has begun

Many places on the glorious Interwebs have picked up on the Ron Paul Liberty Dollar heist by the Feds. As was easily predictable, haters of Ron Paul have once again discarded logic and proclaimed the target of the FBI/Secret Service raid to be guilty before the guy has even been arrested. On top of that, all Ron Paul fans are kooks because a few of them like to use something other than FRN's to barter with.


Oh, and since I'm in a particularly cheery mood this evening, just wanted to give a shout out to the anti-Paul pro-choicers who support Nazi-style Eugenics while fouling a good man because some buttcake Nazi sent him $500 to campaign with.

Liberty Dollar raid brings hard money debate to national level

I think the raid on the Liberty Dollar will be a good thing in the long run. It will not be harmful to Ron Paul's presidential campaign. It is publicity and because his name is attached to the story it has been put into the national spotlight. You don't have to advocate a new hard money standard to realize the wrong in what the government has done here.

Ron Paul to join tailgaters at Olive Court before Iowa Hawkeyes football game

Leading presidential candidate Ron Paul will join Iowa Hawkeye and Western Michigan tailgaters on Saturday at Olive Court in Iowa City. Olive Court is one of the most popular tailgating spots and is located just a few short blocks from Kinnick Stadium. There will be a rally at 69 Olive Court from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. I encourage fans of both the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Western Michigan Broncos to come take a peek at the Ron Paul Revolution.


View details of Ron Paul's visit to Olive Court in Iowa City here.

Lone Star Times applauds free publicity for Ron Paul?

Who would've thought that $500 out of over $5,000,000 would garner so much free publicity? Lone Star Times likes it so much they even altered the Ron Paul Revolution in the most childish of ways.

Google Ron Paul Again

I probably wouldn't have been as nice as this guy who defends Ron Paul on college student loans. I am almost convinced that parents should teach logic and critical reasoning classes at the dinner table so that the children can learn to filter, dissect and question everything that they learned that day in school and that night at the dinner table. The world would be much better off if parents just started doing that one little thing.


For example, my dad said to get a job and learn some self-responsibility. Simple enough, right? Well, my whole life I was taught to try to do right and be a good person. I see what 25% of the earnings from my job goes toward and it contradicts everything I stand for and learned. Even if I get a job where I do nothing but help people, 25% of it still goes toward those contradictory things. What I get in return for my investment is to be criminalized for being fond of a plant, to see my fellow brothers and sisters be oppressed by horrible policy, and to watch people halfway around the globe get blown to bits.


You got the job. Did you get the self-responsibility?

Rudy Giuliani News

Rudy Giuliani just embraced an endorsement from a guy who directly blamed 9/11 on gay Americans, Pat Robertson. He also tried to land his corrupt buddy a job as head of Homeland Security and is business partners with Al-Qaeda friendly Muslims in the Middle East, the same ones who let the mastermind of 9/11 slip away. Rudy just took another jab at Ron Paul by denouncing support from people outside of the official Rudy campaign. Someone outside of the Paul campaign has apparently taken out a big ad in the USA Today paper and Ron just recently raised over $4 million in one day through a donation drive that was not affiliated with campaign headquarters. John McCain made a move similar to Giuliani by denouncing support from people outside of his official campaign as well. Oh, and it has surfaced that News Corp. tried to persuade Judith Regan to commit perjury in order to protect Rudy's presidential bid. I'm not trying to play guilt by association either. I didn't find out any of these things until I already knew how much his politics suck.


I won't even get started on Hillary Clinton's rapsheet. I can easily see how people would be intrigued to vote for her. I've seen her support. Although misguided, it's real. What I really can't figure out is how any accurate poll says that 39% of Americans would vote for Rudy Giuliani to lead this country. I have more faith in people than that.

Rudy Giuliani to tilt the election to Hillary?

A new poll has been released that shows Hillary at 42%, Rudy Giuliani at 39% and Ron Paul as a Libertarian at 8%.


Ron Paul is a ten-term Republican Congressman and is currently a Republican candidate for president. Those two facts are undeniable.


The poll clearly shows that Rudy Giuliani can and will give the election to Hillary Clinton if Republicans do not stand behind Ron Paul.


39 + 8 = 47%


Ron Paul 47%, Hillary Clinton 39%

Extremist group plans to ask Ron Paul to distance himself from extremist groups

The Anti Defamation League (ADL) is reportedly planning to ask Ron Paul to distance himself from extremist groups. This news comes after it was revealed that 1/10,000th of 1% of donations to Ron Paul in the third quarter came from a known Neo-Nazi clown. Or maybe it's 1/1,000th of a percent. Either way, insignificant.

A comment on Capitol Hill Blues comment policy

Capitol Hill Blues just put out a decent article on Ron Paul. I went to comment on the article, couldn't, and ran across a rather redundant commenting policy that I wanted to address.


"Posts that contain racism, homophobia, bigotry or Antisemitism will be removed and the posters banned."


Depending on how you define antisemitism, it is either racism or bigotry. If you view antisemitism as being against semitic people, then it's racism. If you view antisemitism as strictly a Jewish thing, then it'd be bigotry.


I'm a Deist, which is basically the religion for freethinkers. If the comment policy were to be rightfully applied in respects to my particular religion and views then virtually no critical comments would ever be allowed. There are less freethinkers than there are Jews. I don't care though. I invite people to be bigoted towards me. I love it. Let's have a duel of minds.

American Enterprise Institute misrepresents Guy Fawkes Day money bomb

A fellow named John Fortier over at American Enterprise Institute seems to misrepresent the recent Guy Fawkes Day 'Ron Paul money bomb.'


"Ron Paul is an iconoclast, a principled libertarian, and an entertaining presidential candidate, but he has gone too far. Last week he raised boatloads of money from admirers who celebrate the violent overthrow of established government. For the sake of his reputation and his responsibility to the Congress in which he serves, he should disown that support."


Mr. Fortier should have done more research. Guy Fawkes Day is a celebration of the uncovering of the gunpowder plot. It is not a celebration of the violent overthrow of government. Maybe AEI should disown Mr. Fortier.

News Corp. trying to subvert election process?

Judith Regan is suing Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. over claims that she was the victim of a deliberate smear campaign because of information she has that will bring down Rudy Giuliani's campaign for president.


"The smear campaign was necessary to advance News Corp.'s political agenda, which has long centered on protecting Rudy Giuliani's presidential ambitions,'' Regan said in the complaint.


Rudy also still has the Qatar problem to deal with. Why would Rudy be friends and business partners with the people who let the mastermind of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, slip away?


Rudy also accepted and embraced an endorsement from Pat Robertson, who blamed 9/11 directly on Americans. Rudy accepted this endorsement only months after publicly humiliating himself by trying to bully Ron Paul in a presidential debate when Paul mentioned that 9/11 was blowback from errant foreign policy.

Mass. Governor wants to jail online gamblers

Deval Patrick wants to send online gamblers to jail and he's pushing the idea in a bill of which the main issue is allow three new casinos to be built in Massachusetts. I wish I'd known about 28 years sooner that we are being run by assclowns. People need to just stop paying the politicians. They can't throw ya all in prison.

The Washington Post doesn't know what smart money is?

The Washington Post claims that because Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani have remained atop the betting odds for president that the smart money is on those candidates. Smart money moves the lines. Odds for Hillary and Rudy have remained relatively stagnant since before the beginning of this election cycle. The smart money is on Ron Paul, who has went from 2,000:1 down to 6:1 in some places, before the recent publicity and money-bomb, but of course WaPo tries to deflect from that.

"As the presidential road show hits Las Vegas this week for a Democratic debate, the bookmakers have already weighed in: New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is the odds-on favorite both to win her party's nomination and then to go on to capture the White House next fall over former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.


Of course, given how the Washington Redskins keep confounding expectations, only so much weight should be placed on the judgment of bookmakers. But nonetheless, the smart money these days is being bet on the two New Yorkers as the odds grow longer for Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), both once deemed by Las Vegas to be more likely to win than they are now."

Some folks are trying to use these votes against him but a logical look at things shows that Ron Paul is doing right when he backs bills like these. Obviously I can't speak for him and I don't wish to wrongly state his views as is done here. The above statements by me are simply a common sense way of looking at the various bills listed. But no, the statists and other nefarious elements would rather have our Congress spend days arguing about a conflict that happened a hundred years ago on the other side of the globe.

Ron Paul web traffic is older than you might think

I ran across a neat bit of information over at ClickZ.com regarding the age of Ron Paul online traffic. Young people are playing a big role in the Ron Paul Revolution, but maybe not as big as previously thought. As you can see, younger people account for the least amount of traffic to his website. Get Ron Paul on a national stage in a head-to-head debate against Hillary and I bet you'd see the male to female ratio even out quite a bit.


"Perhaps not surprising to political observers, right-wing Congressman Paul's Web site attracted more males and older visitors than Clinton's younger, female-heavy site audience, according to Hitwise. Around 27 percent of RonPaul.com visitors were 18 to 34, about 36 percent were between 35 and 54, and approximately 37 percent were age 55 and over in October. Seventy-three percent were male."
