Paul want legalized prostitution and legalized drugs.
That should strike him out right there.
Otherwise, not so likely.
Yeah, and Mad Dog 20/20 is vintage aged wine.
"Two percent of people think. Three percent of people think they think. The other ninety-five percent of people would rather die than think." George Bernard Shaw
"Only very few men have the gift of thinking new and original ideas and of changing the traditional body of creeds and doctrines. Common man does not speculate about the great problems. With regard to them he relies upon other people's authority, he behaves as "every decent fellow must behave," he is like a sheep in the herd. It is precisely this intellectual inertia that characterizes a man as a common man." Ludwig von Mises
The inmates are already running the asylum, and have been since the 1912 election. President Reagan is arguably the only exception. That's part of the problem. Trend change is coming soon. The question is really are we going to be wise enough to recognize that we have been following the wrong stars, and who are the would-be leaders that recognized the solutions we should have adopted long ago.
True, but you do not fix crazy with a heaping dose of more-crazy.
Ron Paul needs velcro on the soles of his shoes to prevent him from drifting into space.
How does that make him a libertarian?
Regrading his "blame America" foreign policy stances, how does that make him a Conservative or Republican?
This country was founded on laws decended from God, yet just about every Ron Paul drone I read about or meet have a very unhealthy fawning worship of Ron Paul as if they were the loyalists who fawned over King George.
No man is worth that much worship.
Traditional Republican leaders, including many that are considered very conservative, have generally failed to stem the tide of socialism that Democrats have imposed us. Nor have they turned away from Keynesian economics.
Like every other man, Paul is imperfect. But he has remained truer to freedom, Austrian economics, and the political agenda that is closest to what the country has needed for a very long time. The author is predicting that if the unthinkable happens, people might well turn to Paul who has been closest to the voice of reason for the longest period of time.
The article is predicting a paradigm change. The truth is that it is an easy prediction to make. Socialism is an economic system that has failed every time it has been tried and will predictably fail every time it is tried in the future, because it contradicts logic and natural economic principles. Since no one can possibly make it work, the only variable is when will it fail and on whose watch. Rogoff's and Rheinhart's book, "It's Different This Time", tells us that it is already almost inevitable for the US, but that predicting the time of the end or the particular "ending" is outside the scope of current knowledge.
If the end and ending are unpredictable, then it is not possible to determine when we have reached or gone beyond the point of no return until after the fact and it's too late. That should be beyond being acceptable to anyone who frequents FreeRepublic.
As an incurable optimist, I believe that it is not too late and that We the people can take charge and alter the outcome to something more favorable. Could there be a Renaissance in our future? Absolutely.
Invite your friends and see how a small group of people believes it can be done. By all means, feel free to show us how the plan we are putting forward can be improved. Ronald Reagan said, ""We have come to a time for choosing; we will preserve for our children this the last best hope for man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.....history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening."
Please join our discussion before We the people are all forced to bear the consequences of our follies. Please accept this invitation to add your name to the ping list.

Ron Paul = Ross Perot 2012
Let's hope so -- but then again Churchill was talking about a previous generation of Americans with much more common sense than this one has.
I work with a lot of much younger people in their 20's and early 30's. When you talk to them about politics, they aren't the stupid couch potato slackers most of my generation tends to think that they are. They are smart and well aware that their future is what is at stake in this election.
About six months ago, one of them sent me this youtube video . If you understand how they see the world and the country, as shown in the first couple minutes of the video, the last half of it is easy to understand. And if you take a step back, these kids aren't all that different from most of the attitudes here on FR. They are just much more passionate about it.
Win what ?
:)
If you put RuPaul’s brain in a bird, the bird would fly backwards and surrender to the first worm it saw.
MoRon Paul is to Conservative like Rachel Maddcow is to female.
Well, it would be a nightmare, but at least I’d never run of things to blog about.
LOL!
I think Gary Johnson would win that one.
