    What country should I move to?

    No need to move. There's no place to go anyway, but don't let the current situation get you down. The worst thing that could happen to this country is a renewal of hope and faith in the system among the liberty-minded. Classical liberals and libertarians have been playing politics for centuries...

    I'm Losing Hope...

    When y'all have finally woken up to the fact that the system itself is the problem and that trying to "fix it" is impossible/undesirable, check out agorism.info for a real solution to the problem. Or you can go back to the same strategy that's been tried for centuries by classical liberals and...

    I was purged from the FEC Q3 report

    I'm kind of glad I'm not on the list. If Paul doesn't win, I think a lot of the people on the list may find themselves being audited by the IRS or otherwise harassed by the government.

    Civics Quiz

    The first time I took this quiz (a few weeks ago), I got 56/60. I got 60/60 this time.

    Corporate Christianity Avoids Ron Paul

    Phobia as a standalone word means fear, but as a suffix it does not necessarily imply fear, just aversion. When we say that oils and oil-solubles are "hydrophobic" we do not mean that they are afraid of water, and when we say that water and water-solubles are "lipophobic" we do not mean that...

    So what happens when the US attacks Iran?

    They'll probably complain about it in public but not actually do much if anything about it. They might sell weapons to the Iranians, and China might take advantage of the situation and invade Taiwan while we're stretched too thin to deal with it, but that's Taiwan's problem. China will also...

    fred thompson and 2nd amendment.

    Okay, that's reasonable enough. Now why couldn't you frame it like that in the first place? You talk about not alienating people, but the way you framed it earlier does alienate people; in particular, people who think like me about this issue.

    fred thompson and 2nd amendment.

    I'd rather not drive away an RP supporter with internal bickering, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in case he really is being honest, and just going about things in a backwards manner. I think we should all do the same and address his positions instead of just labeling him a...

    fred thompson and 2nd amendment.

    It's not just a Republican issue. Anyone who has studied the history of the 20th century should be against weapons regulations. Governments murdered over 200 million of their own invariably disarmed citizens last century, and the death toll for this century is piling up pretty damn quick too.

    fred thompson and 2nd amendment.

    Fortunately I know enough about both RP's and FT's positions to know that Daron has it completely backwards, because he seems intent on trying to trick people like me into supporting FT. I am one of those "radicals" he refers to on this issue (though not a redneck... born and raised in...

    Young cop kills six at party, police say.

    I think it's a great idea. I think cops should be made to follow whatever weapon regulations are in place for everyone else. Also, if only X% of all non-cops who apply for a handgun license can obtain one, only X% of cops should be able to obtain one. If there's a six month waiting period to...

    Internal Ron Paul Debate Over Matching Funds?

    Ron Paul has my support because he doesn't compromise his principles. To do so now after establishing such a long and consistent record of upholding them would be beyond stupid. If he does accept matching funds, I'll vote for the absolute worst most fascist candidate instead, in the hope that...

    Play - Select a candidate GAME!

    They've got the Social Security question all screwed up. Since when is Ron Paul opposed to privatizing it? Also, when has Ron Paul ever favored a federal ban on abortion? Terrible quiz. I still got RP in first place though, and I suppose the rest of the ordering is irrelevant because I'd never...
