The Boos have helped us!

[unknown]

Yes, thanks for calling.

Need to get back to PFH myself.

I was really concerned that the audience was going to sway voters, apparently not.

But, it's crucial to know what people like him are saying.

No it isn't. He makes you believe that by scaffolding his illness, of which a symptom is his overblown egophrenia, via his self important ego trip..

Oddly enough, it made me wonder of what the blood-thirsty crowds that filled the colosseum of ancient Rome must've been like when someone was spared. The fact that people are so pro-war, so enthralled by violence, so enamored by preemptive war, and deluded by what they think of as justice, it’s no wonder there’s no moral compass anymore. I fear for humanity.

George Carlin pointed out that we're the only species that wantonly murders our own kind. My cat tortures lizards, but I'm not sure he knows what he's doing.

I went to bed feeling pretty defeated last night. But as I woke up and thought about it this morning, I think you're right. No rational person watching the debate from home would've agreed with this insanely juvenile audience. I think by the point when Dr. Paul gave a long, thoughtful response regarding the disproportionate amount of blacks charged with drug crimes and sentenced to death, and the audience stayed completely silent, whilst ten seconds later giving Newt practically a standing ovation for answering a question by Juan Williams about his comments on Obama and food stamps with a resoundingly thought-provoking: "No.", any credibility the audience had was lost.

Whenever moments like that happen in life, i always tell myself truth will win in the end
unfortunately, i do not have much faith with Americans
(not trying to single out americans alone, because in most other nations , people are pretty much the same anyway, the majority are easy to deceive)

what is worse, is i have even less faith with SC Americans, you really can not be more ignorant than those bunch of people ( yea there are some people wtih common sense there, but i am sure thats not the norm)

so in response, i do think the boos help us in the long run, whether it is the general election (makes people aware of Ron Paul more), or spreading the message
but in the short run, aka SC primary, im sure it will hurt, meaning we will still have a solid base, but the growth would be very tiny if any

Eh, I think it's important to know what the enemy is saying.

 

[pauliticalfan]

Ron gives brilliant answer about minorities and the injustices in our court system, total silence.

Newt gives racially-hostile answer about food stamps, and the crowd goes ape shit.

Sad.

 

[Johnny Appleseed]

the boos always seems to help me

 

[pen_thief]

This is coming from a Newt supporter, but she also likes Santorum.

Say no more I applaud you for even trying.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

i think it works in favor for Ron Paul.. but works against the GOP overall.

 

[wd4freedom]

They are balltards. They spend all their time, mental energies and beer money cheering their team, booing others and couch potatoing on the edge of sensibility.

Rev9

Ok...thanks for "balltards".....been looking for this term for a good while now. Just the perfect word for this syndrome.

 

[virginiakid]

Ron Paul considers himself to be a Christian of the Baptist faith. I think he made the reference in order to drive the point home that we shouldn't be going into other nations for no reason and overthrow them. I don't think God would want us as Christians to go out and try to rule the world by the sword. God doesn't want people to believe in him by force, HE wants people to believe in Him because they trust Him and love Him. The USA is considered to be a Christian nation. How do we look when we try and force our way in the world at the point of a gun with no justification to do so? And how do we as Christians look when we promote preemptive wars against nations that did nothing to us? How can we convince the world that we are Christian and that Christ is the light of the world if we treat the enemy with disrespect? As Christians we are to be an example for the world to follow. That means fight to defend ourselves when attacked, and be respectful toward others, including nations. Let Christ's love shine through us, so that those who hate us, those who admire us, those who are seeking truth will know that Jesus is the Christ, that He is the light of the world, and that through Him we can have salvation. But how can we share that if we are constantly as a nation trying to pick on other nations and starting wars? A nonintervention policy is that you do not preemptively start wars, but rather have a very strong homeland defense and a military ready to go anywhere in the world, if need be. It means that we trade with all. If we put God first as a nation, then we heal, If we continue to boo the golden rule, like the crowd did in SC, and not put God first, then we fall. Be the light that Christ wants us to be, be the example to all in the world.

I would like to point out that folks who mix Old Testament in with their Christian doctrine and teaching become Judeo-Christian. Note the prefix which supercedes Christianity in this case making a sham and falsehood of the true tenets of Christianity, the Prince of Peace and imposes Old Testament style avengelism and Mosaic rule of vengeful religious laws in them as a memetic virus. True Christians are inured and inoculated against this archonic nonsense and corruption. I guarantee you that true Christians are not impressed with this and know the smoke of the devil when they smell it. It is no wonder they howl at RP and prop up the thieves and murderers just as they did when they called for Christ's blood via crucifixion.

I'm not an expert on Christianity. What denominations are we talking about that are doing the booing? If I would guess, it would be the newer ones. It appears that the specifics of Christianity have changed since about 1947. Are big nondenominational churches where this comes from?

I go to a non-denominational church and I can tell you that my church teaches the exact opposite of what those warmongers stand for. (who probably aren't even Christians). The church I go to is ALWAYS focused on what Jesus said is the greatest command - love God, love others. And not just with our words, but actions. The church I go to does a lot of truly awesome work, all over the world (humanitarian work, outreach, being the "hands and feet" of Jesus in different ways). So, no, I don't know what denominations those southern people belong to, but it is nothing like the Christians I know.

This is the response I got from a friend of mine when I stated my disgust for the booing of the golden rule. This is coming from a Newt supporter, but she also likes Santorum. I couldn't believe she said it....Here is the response I got - "I don't think RP was booed on the issue of the Golden Rule, he was booed because his policies are so divergient with most of the audience. I don't think anyone on that stage wants war with Iran-- but they do understand, unlike RP-- that Iran will only back off when they are facing power. Many of us believe that RP supports a position that will keep us as weak as Obama. Do you seriously wonder what will happen if we take a weakened position with the Middle East? It is only from a position of strength, that we will have peace"

I guess I just have to accept the fact that I'm not going to win her over to the RP camp. Frustrating.

If she's a believer, ask her how many of those children have heard of Jesus? Probably small number or none. Or more generally, ask her how easy would be for terrorists to recruit the parents, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, cousin, friend of those who lost everything? What she considers as a position of strength is actually quite the opposite because the policy breeds more terrorism.

I sent some formative years in the Deep South, and it's mostly Southern Baptists. I don't mean to tar all of them with the same brush, but I've seen some stunning examples of hypocricy and narrow-mindedness.

 

[Rudeman]

Unfortunately there are people who agree with the audience, these people tend to be Newt or Santorum (mostly Newt) supporters (they also think Newt is electable, had to set that one straight). Luckily it appears that they may be a minority but they're around.

Well, I'm not an expert.

But something is happening here, has been happening. And I think rev 9 might have a better understanding of it that I do.

Back not too many years ago, "must protect Israel" did not appear on lists of top tenets of Christianity. This is fairly recent, I think.

I think they're called "Pharisees." (neoconned "christians," if at all)

Perhaps it comes from the Everson SCOTUS ruling which was also in 1947.

Thats basically where the onus came off of govt not being involved in public displays of religion to the point where now govt had to PREVENT public displays of religion, lest they be accused of "establishing" religion.

Its a terrible ruling IMO and flies against the Constitution.
