You mean like this guy?
The government manufactures “crises” to make us afraid so it is easier to take our rights away? Who would have thought that was possible? Hope you have bought up your share of ammo already.
Ping!
I know he’s an MD. So what? wRONg PAUL is right on this but wRONg on almost everything else. Loony is an understatement.
Too bad he didn’t stick to his calling!
Like how there was a bubble in the housing market, right?
Just a point of trivia. Nothing to get all worked up about. Like I said, he’s looney in a number of areas, but this isn’t one of them.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
More fools.
Did you find even more personalities in the mirror, Glenn? Don’t be so hard on them, it’s bad for your self-esteem!
What does it mean to believe a thing?
You mean like when you poor milk over your Darwin idols hoping that you will find favor with darwood’s brain-dead natural selection god?
It's still way too early to say whether the new influenza is going to be a major event or not, although it looks like only a minor issue in the short term.
It could emerge in a more widespread and dangerous form by the fall. That's not to say it will, but it certainly could. The smartest thing to do is use the time between now and then to make sure you're prepared for any such eventuality.
Ah. So you have concluded that I am a Darwinist based on absolutely nothing.
Interesting.
OK, fine, he just got lucky with the housing bubble. I guess Ron Paul is wrong about following that US Constitution thing.
He and the Mises Institute are predicting hyperinflation. I wonder if he’s wrong about that. The Chinese seem to be preparing for the utter destruction of the dollar.
I disagree with Paul on a lot of things, but he’s right about this one.
What you say is very true. That it’s said on a wRONg PAUL thread detracts from the advice.
The worst part about Ron Paul is not Ron Paul, but all of the freaks that attached themselves to him.
Not nothing...you have called the author of just about every article/paper I have posted challenging Darwinism a fool.
I am getting the feeling the administration wants to give Americans a sense of panic. In a week we have a worldwide panic over the flu and a flyover of Manhattan.
A financial scare, the gasoline scare and now this.
Something isn’t right.
The media and the government created this hysteria.
If you are saying the freaks that attach themselves to him are freakier than he is, I won’t disagree with you. But let’s face it, Ron Paul is a basket-case on foreign policy...not to mention 911.
Yup. Dr. Paul knows what he’s talking about. Admit that I falled for the hype at first, but now realize that this “epidemic” isn’t as bad as the seasonal flus. Not even close.
You are quite right...and they do it year after year. See the following for how it works. Don’t get hung up on AIDS, just focus on how they operate. Conservatives need to wake up to their crap and start blowing the wistle:

What? You think that we should be panicking over swine flu?
You really trust the media and government?

And note I’m not saying we should overreact either... overreaction can create unneeded chaos and economic hardship for many, with problems resulting that could be bigger than any problems from the new strain of flu.
We just need to try and get the right perspective and respond appropriately.
Everything has to be seen in context. A pandemic flu (especially if it turns worse or becomes so widespread that our health system is unable to effectively treat large numbers of people) could kill a lot of otherwise young, healthy people — like the young schoolteacher who just died in Texas, leaving a newborn and a 4-year-old behind. A million or more just in this country alone is not outside of the realm of possibility. That would be several hundred times the magnitude of 9/11.
On the other hand, the biggest killers in this country, year after year, are cardiovascular disease and cancer... and that one is a definite. Well over a million people (of course they’re usually older and so have their kids already raised) die from these diseases each year.
And a lot more have preventable health problems... huge numbers of us are literally dying from eating about twice too much, and of the wrong things.
That ain’t the half of it. See the following (don’t get hung up on AIDS, pay attention to how our socialist enemies in the Public Health Movement operate):

(And no, I'm not predicting that, just noting that if we should experience a serious pandemic it's not outside of the realm of possibility.)
Well...
If I understand Ron Paul's foreign policy (rather than what somebody else says about it), he is basically an isolationist and talks like one. I haven't heard fruitcake statements, like those you hear out of 9/11 truthers, come out of his mouth (or out of his pen).
And, frankly, to a limit, I will agree with him...to this limit: I have maintained for a lot of years that the pivotal mistake made by the US was not maintaining strict neutrality during World War I. Had Wilson, a progressive in the mold of Ø, minded his own business (and kept a campaign promise BTW), the world would have looked a whole lot different, and better, today. Where I disagree with Paul is that I believe that most, if not all, of the interventions we've had to make since that time can be somehow traced back to that event (I perceive that he would just hold the borders and that's that: which is a legitimate position, just one I don't agree with).
I don't claim to be any kind of expert on Ron Paul. You may be able to come up with some really flaky things that have come out of his mouth (or have been written by him). If so, I am more than willing to be corrected. Do you have a quote on him talking like a 9/11 truther? Or do you have quotes from 9/11 truthers that claim to be Ron Paul supporters.
Having said that, one thing I do like is that he does appear to want to operate according to the Constitution. And that is pretty unique in this day and time. And let me tell you, I would feel a lot more comfortable with him as a candidate than I would with a Roodie Giuliani or with a Mitt Romney, in all honesty.
“Something isn?t right.”
Gee, ya think?
/sorry, couldn’t resist...
For your comment it is....
I’ve got a “Martian Death flu” right now that’s feels worse than what the swine flu reportedly is. I came down with it two weeks ago and it’s still got me flat on my back
Ping
What is it about liberty and freedom that you find threatening?
When the message comes filtered from the twisted mind of wRONg PAUL and his demented acolytes. His message is sometimes correct, but more often than not, he's the leader of the wackadoo party. He's not a conservative, he's a losertarian,a hypocrite and a 9/11 isolationist that would deeply harm our country.
Why do you kneel before him?
