This ruling is a stretch even for the supremes.
A tax is levied when you purchase something - not when you refuse to.
I will now run for President on a platform that includes a mandate to only buy "made by (insert corporate masters)" goods, buy Monsanto or else. I'll trash the world economy...
It's more like people are letting Rand's last name override clear thinking on the both his record and this endorsement.
Voting for an unwarranted act of war, writing a bill that gives legal backing to drones within the US, and endorsing a blood-thirsty war-monger on TV are not things that move...
Rand voted for an act of war. He lost all standing in my eyes with that vote. Do you have an excuse for him selling out then also?
Now he's everywhere touting his toothless new bill that doesn't do what he says it does. Nothing good comes of this endorsement. This movement is being co-opted by...
Exactly… and good luck getting any votes for it in the Senate. That along with the line of oil, paper, logging, etc lobbies that will be outside the office of every Senator if the Hemp bill might see the floor of the Senate.
Rand has done some good. But undid all of it when he voted for an act...
Two interviews – both ask softball questions of Rand.
Where are the questions about the involvement of Trygve Olson, in the campaign? What about the out-of-nowhere promotion of Jesse Benton?
I mean, come on… this movement is being co-opted before our eyes… JUST like the tea party was… and...
I did, in fact, listen to the interview, and I implore you to not insult me any further with this remark. We simply have a disagreement on the tactics Rand is employing…
On to ripping the emperors clothes off…
I say we keep doing what we are doing… take over the party apparatus from the local...
Those actions have a guarantee of results though - what Rand is talking about is bringing a bill to a vote—this is what he compromised the perception of the liberty movement for… A bill on the floor is a lot different that getting it passed… no progress is made there. NONE. Nothing actually...
I see what Rand's "big picture" is… and you're right it won't change my mind. Because I don't agree with his vision.
He's not about tearing down the corrupt system… he's about incrementalism. Sure we can all say "he's fighting for the right things though" and make ourselves feel better, but...
Yes, let's all endorse and campaign for someone that believes everything that is opposite my view of the role of government… just so we can have influence on the scribblings on a piece of paper the man endorsed will ultimately ignore.
Sounds smart to me, sign me up.
If you eat raw honey from areas with heavy populations of poison ivy or oak this will provide some resistance to the allergy. Poison ivy flowers like crazy and bees love the pollen.
I agree there is a market for Ron. He's a one of a kind character.
I think the larger market is for liberty message though. Many of us have said this entire time that it is not about the man, but the message.
I fear the divide and conquer strategy might be at play.
The saying goes "Put 5 libertarians in a room and there will be 12 opinions."
Having rallying points around the web is what was able to keep the movement going and growing over the past 5 years. The daily paul is one of the major ones. I...
