I think you should click the link below I see that says GayBearDating.com and find someone that agrees with your non-sense of a topic. The New World Order isn't real, they're just called Rich people. People with money have power, not hard to figure out.
 
Everything is possible... Barr could be a puppet, Ron Paul could be a puppet, Alex Jones could be a puppet, etc. Welcome to paranoia land. No one can ever be fully trusted, but in order to get anything done you have to take reasonable risks. Trust but verify, and keep your options open.

Which is why I've been hoping a small radical zero-government zero-compromise alternative to the LP would rise up and run someone like Mary Ruwart (who I've supported in the primaries) in at least several states. This, sadly, has not happened, and Barr is the most (small-l) libertarian candidate one can vote for in November. (Don't even mention that totalitarian theocrat you-know-who!)

We should try to make the best of the situation - yes, many purist anarcho-capitalist principles are compromised, but the LP ran many purist candidates in the past and will likely run one in 2012. The LP needs to be a big-tent party covering a wide political spectrum of the Nolan Chart above the Reps & Dems, from those who believe the government should be 15% of the national GDP (down from current >30%) to those who recognize no government legitimacy what-so-ever. Some will want to go farther than others, but the first few miles of the journey are on the same road.

Now is our opportunity to capitalize on McCain's weaknesses, which is why the pragmatic / realist wing of the LP has been so energized in this election. Barr has brought a lot of good things to the LP thus-far, and he hasn't done a single thing to make me doubt his sincerity.

I'll assume you're rolling your eyes at yourself.

There's certainly plenty of quotes there to be afraid of if you're against legislated collectivism, as I am, but there's also plenty of naive peace-and-love fluffiness, which is about as scary as kittens and bunnies.

NOPE! The "eyes roll" was for the naive poster replied to. :)

AKA NWO! :p

Reasonable risks like the Fed, Income Tax, New Deal, WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, WWIII, continued Tyranny and Leviathan, etc., etc., etc?
 
I don't like this poll.
I don't like Barr.
At best he is a lying SOS. At worse a neocon stooge.
 
BTW, the POTUS DOESN'T RUN THE USA!

He's just the leader and HMFIC of the Executive branch of the US Federal government, per the US Constitution. :rolleyes: And he can just barely do even that job ......... badly! :p

I don't know, there's something about Barr that makes me...uneasy (probably his voting record). I'm probably voting for Chuck Baldwin instead.
 
My take on Barr is that he's willingly becoming a Libertarian puppet in an attempt to gain power for himself. He's not a NWO puppet. He's just like any other politician, willing to pander and change his positions if he sees it is beneficial for himself personally. In this case, he sees a Revolution without an heir and wants to take it over to see how many votes he can get to massage his ego.

This is a bad thing, speaking of Barr the person, but really not such a bad thing for the Revolution as a whole. Barr has name recognition among the people, and he will get some media coverage and way more votes than the Constitution Party will get. He will advance the ideals of the Revolution and our cause in general, even if he himself doesn't believe in it.

I am thinking of voting for Barr, not because I like him or because I think he believes in Libertarianism. If I thought he might actually get elected, I'd vote for someone else, lol. But, I'd like to see him get a nice chunk of votes and scare the Republicans into maybe changing their platform to actually accomodate the Ron Paul Republicans. Wouldn't that be something?

And since 1972, the LP has SCARED the GOP how many times? :D
 
No, Barr just wants to re-surface in the GOP some day. He decided some time ago to position himself somewhere nearer to Ron Paul in the hope of finding a viable faction there. I don't think it's either more or less than that.
 
Maybe Bob Barr will run for the Senate as the Libertarian Party candidate in Georgia after this election. :)
