Is ir possible to vote for Ron Paul delegates, or are we limited to participating in the popular vote between Romney and Paul?

Please keep in mind the other side of this issue, which Dr Paul also mentioned, which is that people have certainly been (and are being) treated negatively because of being part of a certain group. We shouldnt impose this message on those who are part of historically victimized groups. Instead...

An interesting note about his speech was that when he discussed socialism and sharing wealth, he approached it from a very respectful point of view... that intentions are good and people are trying to help others.

It was pretty chilly!

The reason signs were allowed was that the event was wide open, standing room only! Totally free and easy... no tickets required... just walk up and find a good spot! I had a lot of quiet people around me, and i was near the middle. Ron Paul needs to do more of these if he can... there seemed...

Im here, got here early! Waiting for this to start!

Great article! I agree that our system is not a laissez faire system and hasnt been for some time. I havent read through the whole thing, but I did read the section under the Marx heading. I saw the article discuss Marx' view on capitalist wages, and I think Marx' view on that is/was correct...

Attempting to address your (abridged) post in order... Ron Paul certainly favors laissez-faire capitalism. He refers to his economic philosophy as "Austrian School economics" or "free market economics" and uses these two terms interchangably. I tend to agree with the person you were talking...

I'd like to let you know that you should not take it down! Tough marketing call. "Constitutional" would probably sound better than "Constitution" ... but as we know the Constitution can be spun around if we allow it. Liberty sends a clearer and likely broader message. The Constitution is what...

Ron Paul is not at war with women because A) He believes women should have access to birth control, but he is generally against federally funded social programs B) His belief that abortion is wrong is based on his belief that life begins at conception, and that after conception, the new life...

Well, it may in fact be the same 10 pt platform. I think I have an old cassette or vhs tape somewhere of one of the founders, Khallid Abdul Muhammad, going over all ten points. The New Black Panther Party has been around since the late 90s so its been a while. The point discussed in this recent...

This is the original Black Panther Party 10 pt platform. Is the New Black Panther Party 10 pt platform the same?

Just found this recently posted youtube vid, in which New Black Panther Party national spokesman Chawn Kweli explains the first point in the New Black Panther Party 10 point platform: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnLEIya9hsc Sounds to me like point 1 of their platform is liberty!

Black people as a whole have never had true liberty in this country, for one. Instead of owning property, most blacks at one point were property owned by others. In the 1850s we had the Dred Scott decision which stated that African people were not qualified for citizenship and rights. With the...

Well as with all Communist systems we've seen, there are always elites that get to pick winners and losers. Totally agree with your post, but I'll go one further: Thomas Jefferson argued for allodial land ownership, but the eminent domain folks won out... meaning that point 1 was partially in...
