Ron Paul supporters lambasted for ruining the country

[Eric21ND]

...excerpt from a forum I visit. Enjoy!

OK, blowing yourself because "[you] predicted the precise delegate totals..." isn’t really on point here. Good for you (condescension emphasized)



It’s the morons like you, eager to prove some obscure and overly brainwashed point, that have really fucked this country. Thanks asshole!



Today, the Dow dropped below 7000. Obama (the guy you cheered for) is proposing more spending than all previous administrations since George Washington, COMBINED.



Your (you and the rest of the Paulbots) little political experiment just may completely undo this country. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I would never credit the liberturdian movement all on its own for this, but your complete ignorance of the true mechanics of government and economics, compounded by your blind Paul-worship fetish probably had a small impact... or not. What I don’t understand is why you want the country to go into a depression/financial collapse - all for hopes that your Paul cult will take something over? WTF?



The way I see it, none of you libertarian fucks really care about the country. You’re bent on your Ron Paul Revolution (still), and don’t give a fuck what happens on the way there.

Our little experiment? What a moron. It's the big-government status-quo 'crats and GOP that have driven this country into the cellar.

He's right, paulbots are constantly cheering the financial collapse. I do not understand this whatsoever. It's like getting punched in the face and saying "thank you sir, may I have another."

It's not that. It's just that many of us understand the principle of Creative Destruction. The bad elements of the economy must be liquidated in order to redirect capital to healthy, productive elements of the economy.

If you're living in a house of cards, it's better to let it fall and then build up something better and longer-lasting.

Who cheered for Obama?

The people that predicted this collapse are not happy because it happened. They can be (and should be) happy and proud that they understood the problem. That they were right. But for sure they are not happy about the collapse.

Honestly, its pathetic trying to blame the guys that have been warning about what would happen, and not blaming who is really at fault: the people that implemented the policies and the ones that cheer them.

Ron Paul supporters that understand basic Austrian teachings can see the Emperor has no clothes.

Yes they are. Droves of them post on this very forum every day;

The only thing being liquidated are the 401k's and life savings of hard working members of the middle and upper class.

All the things that caused this are just being propped up with government created money.

Yet day after day I see people on this board cheering for this.

Guilty.
Today I saw a picture on Yahoo! of a stock trader slumped over a desk in obvious agony. I chuckled. The collapse will hurt the worthless* that caused the mess much more than it will hurt those of us that make an honest living producing products that people need to live. Some people are suffering that don't deserve it, that's true, but for those that have dishonestly amassed millions which they are now losing, payback is a bitch.

If someone breaks his hand because he repeatedly punched you in the face, you laugh at him and you don't feel the least bit of shame for it.

Most of those earnings were based on bubble economics not reality. Just like people that got caught with their shorts around their ankles that were real estate speculators. You think we take pleasure in the INDIVIDUAL's suffering for this? I for one do not. However, even as a homeowner who sees that ALL of my equity is likely going to be wiped out, I see it as a GOOD thing, returning home values to reality instead of the insane levels they were pumped up to. Short term pain, but long term health. I think it is the same way with the stock market in general - we aren't cheering people getting their savings wiped out, we are cheering the collapse of a completely immoral and dishonest system that equated to outright theft of those hard working middle and upper class that you are championing.

Sorry, but anyone in their 60s that had a majority of their money in the stock market for retirement is an idiot. It is a rule of thumb that the closer you get to retirement, the more you need to move your money out of risk (stocks) and into more stable investments with lower returns. Sure some people wanted to go to Vegas to play for the big returns with their last few years. Life sucks. And again, I sure am NOT happy to see someone in that situation who made those bad decisiions. But seeing the whole immoral Federal Reserve system crumbling? Oh yeah, I am going to cheer that on.

 

[Brown Sapper]

I don't think that it's that we are cheering for the destruction of the market. It's that we showed them that this economy is a "house of cards" and we also showed them ways to get out of it, but they still won't listen.

 

[MsDoodahs]

I cheer for it because the Keynesians have been and remain in complete control, and will remain so until the country is destroyed.

Did you see Ron ask Ben WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT YOUR PREMISE IS WRONG at the hearings last week?

He asked that because Ron knows that Ben will NEVER admit he is wrong.

Bernanke and the Keynesians will NEVER admit their error.

They're GOING to destroy the country.

We have to hold on and get through it so we can rebuild when the Keynesian destruction is total. Sooner that happens, sooner the rebuilding can start.

Sorry but I live very frugally and 100% debt free. I have never had a credit card in my life and the only loan I have ever taken (and paid back) was a stupid payday loan which was a big mistake.

The majority of people who lost out on this collapse are people who went into debt to get through school, got out of school and then went into debt to buy a house and some cars. Probably threw some nice furniture and electronics on a credit card too. Then they used the money they "saved" by not paying for anything up front to buy into some idiotic retirement plan that they now lost out on, and since they don't own anything to begin with they don't have much to fall back on either.

Basically a bunch of people pretending like they're rich as they make monthly payments on every single thing they own, no I don't feel sorry for them.

It reminds me of the warmongers blaming the peaceniks for Vietnam.

The peaceniks didn’t want the war. They didn’t start it and they didn’t support it. Yet they got blamed for losing it.

I, for one, am not cheering the collapse. I'm 28, about to get married, and would like to start a family, so I am very unhappy that this is happening right now. Anyone who's hoping for a collapse so Ron Paul can say "Told you so" and get elected in 2012 needs an ass kicking. Those types of paulbots give the rest of us a bad name.

 

[MsDoodahs]

Those who caused this don't intend to shoulder responsibility for it.

They'll blame everything and everyone else - because they are irresponsible immature whiney butts.

I totally agree. My wife and I are debt free as well. I don't feel the least bit of pity for people who have no common sense or self control. We planned ahead, and as a result, we are financially sound, even after my wife lost her job, and with it half our income. Everything we have is OURS. All that can happen is we get kicked out of our apartment or our lights cut off if we lose all our income.

I cheer on the crash because it will bring REAL change, instead of the fake change we were promised. I'm ready for it, if everyone else didn't see the writing on the wall, that's not my problem. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

Ding ding ding...we have a winner!
