I was hoping for someone to post what he said, but no one has done that.

[hedgetrimmer]

Naturally, the notion is to disparage the idea of ‘homeland security’ and the idea we have to defend ourselves

Because we have a Nation we should have a department for national security-- Oh wait! We DO!

So why do we have 'homeland security'?

[bcsco]

You refuse to answer my two questions. For this reason I have no further use of any debate between us. If you can’t show the courtesy of a proper response to a proper question, you are not worth the time.

BTW: Dictionary.com.

“homeland”

1. one’s native land.

This is my homeland. It may not be yours, but it IS mine. God bless America, my homeland!

Goodbye!!

Ironic, the first thing that we “globalist” a hit for is wanting to do away with the nations sovereignty. Yet there is an issue with us using the term “Homeland”...

Funny stuff indeed..

[bcsco]

Funny stuff indeed..

In reference to their thinking, or what they're smoking?

[ejonesie22]

Yes...

[bcsco]

At least you respond to questions :)

[ejonesie22]

Yes;-)

[traviskicks]

Wow, that was a GREAT interview! Thanks for posting it. Near the end a caller asked,

“what will you do with all the bureaucrats that will be out of jobs from all the government programs you cut?” Paul said (paraphrasing),

“well the economy is strong and there’s always work so I don’t worry about that for a minute, some of these folks might have to take pay cuts because if you’re making 100-150k a year pushing paper, stapling paper, doing things to hurt the American economy, you may not be worth that much in the private sector.”

lol

You're obviously in a foreign country, because no citizen refers to his own nation, while he's abiding in it, as a 'homeland'. Thats the globalist in you, coming out.

[lormand]

"We can surmise from your post, that those most vehemently opposed to pro american presidential candidates are internationalists, and they don't want the looting of American sovereignty and of the American domestic economy to stop."

Are you actually Alex Jones with a Freeper account? If so, why do you infest this forum with your presence? When someone with a FR account starts going off the cliff, then we should give them a shove.

I can't say this in a nice way other than you are a paranoid lunatic.

[ejonesie22]

You obviously have no notion of our history as a nation.

The concept of “Home Guard” units were created in many areas to defend the “Homeland” during both World Wars. Usually made up of state militias and National Guard units.

So ironic that one who is so adamant about “globalist” selling out our sovereignty would have an issue with the term Homeland...

[bcsco]

An interesting link in this regard is Homeland Defense: The State of the Union which states in its header it was previously published in the Spring of 2001. If one scrolls down to the section labeled "The Hart-Rudman Commission" one sees that they used the phrase "America will become increasingly vulnerable to hostile attack on our homeland..." in their conclusion. This was written in January 2000.

Apparently GWB and his administration are NOT the ones to introduce the idea of 'homeland' and some would suggest. And I doubt this report was issued offshore as I am supposed to be.

[bcsco]

Here's an interesting link to The Century Magazine June 1898. If you scroll down to "Dual Homesickness", you'll see it's a poem where the author refers to her longing for her 'homeland' (America) while visiting European capitals. Gee, I guess the term 'homeland' is not such a recent development after all.

Of course, this individual wrote of being away from home, but was she really when writing this poem and using the term homeland? The final verse indicates likely not.

[ejonesie22]

I always stand amazed at the untold ignorance of absolutist...

[Captain Kirk]

You have made a charge. Prove it. I am a Paul supporter and in a meet-up group and have never received “insructions” of that kind.

[mnehring]

..are you a member of RonPaulForums? If not, then the charge isn’t levied at you.

[Captain Kirk]

Who is the charge levied against? I know you hate Paul’s guts but please provide evidence tha these polls are spammed.

[mnehring]

Takes about a half a second considering how many times this has been discussed.

In order to vote multiple times in drudges poll, you just have to delete the cookie....
...I just deleted my cookies and was able to vote again.
this poll can be spammed by simply clearing all cookies and temp files, and then re-voting......
Interesting, yup you can vote multiple times, just need to close then re-open your browser.
Vote as many times as you want since you can delete cookies and vote again. I say if they are too stupid to put a poll up like that, then they deserve for it to be screwed with....
The fact that they post polls you can vote time and time again because they want the extra hits on their website invites the so-called abuse. Like I said, most people online know about the clearing of cookies so they treat it as an invitation to do that. If they didnt want you to, then they would have posted a different poll that doesn't allow it....

Want me to keep going? I haven't even gone into LGF completely banning Paul from their polls because they could see the actual attacks based on traffic origination.
