I did watch the video of this gathering and watched the two people screaming, being escorted out. I have no idea what their beef was as I was working, while watching and the audio was not good. I also watched the 84 year old vet, sing a patriotic song in front of this crowd...Not a great voice, but he tried and was obviously passionate about it.
For the politically hysterical out there, like Newt, I don't support everything this particular guy does or say, but some things, I feel he hits the ten ring.
This is from NPR-Obama. Its intent is to boost the stalking horse RuPaul and ensure Willard is the nominee.
Says it all. The kind of shallow people who thought Obama would be great for this country are the same kind attracted to Ron Paul's candidacy. Boy, is that ever a surprise.
Did they repeal the federal law that keeps the military and civil servants from participating in partisan politics?
I believe in the constitution and believe the only way this nation can survive as a free nation is to stick to the constitution, that is what it is all about, this is also what Ron Paul seems to believe in, so maybe he is not the nut.
Maybe the nuts are those who are willing to let America become a police state and if that happens and it will happen at the rate it is going, then what the hell difference would it make to us people who just want to be free if it is taken over by a foreign power or by our own police.
Paul and followers are Muslim appeasers who approved of the Victory Mosque being built near ground zero.
The strongest GOP candidate for a limited constitutional government as envisioned by our forefathers regularly trashed as a kook and a nut on FR. Not good. At the very least there should be civil dialogue concerning his ideas. He also happens to be one of the oldest “insiders” on the hill, with some wisdom to share when it comes to the ingrained propensities of DC to squander our lavish, God-given resources in exchange for a black eye.
Personal responsibility. Fiscal responsibility. Government accountability. A reconsidered stance on foreign meddling. These are not kooky or insane ideas. They derive from people with common sense.
Eric Grote, 54, of Hampton, a retired Air Force captain, combat medic and registered nurse, said, “I’ve seen what happens when things go wrong. ... I look at what’s happening now and see us on the cusp of World War III
Wow. Of course this guy would be for Paul. He doesn;t even understand that WW3 started over 12 years ago!
