What Makes Ron Paul Different

The Special Interest Groups have unleashed ‘joiners’ on Ron Paul meetup groups. I’m pretty convinced of a GOP tactic to slap down Paul’s good reputation by putting ‘armed revolt’ emails into our meetups. Up until now, all our members were discussing events, where to buy supplies, etc. Recently, there are some new joiners who are very different. This can’t be a fluke.

“STOP OUTSOURCING YOUR THINKING.”

Amen, bro! Keep on keepin’ it real!

Change is loose, no stoppin’ now!

What Makes Ron Paul Different(Chris Pirillo )

I’m a big supporter of Dr. No myself. Like you I don’t agree on everything he does, but he is by far the best man for the job.

RON PAUL REVOLUTION 2008

Great video and wise words Chris!

I really enjoy beeing your fellow-paultard! :-)

“Bad politicians are voted in by good citizens who don’t vote.” I wish I could remember who said that first. But the idea is there. Politics have been taken over (from both sides) by people who don’t know the fine art of debate. We have forgotten how to reach a consensus. Few people listen to “the other side” without looking for traps.

And just when in hell did changing your mind become verboten? The new breed of pundits seem to think that listening to an exchange of ideas and coming out with a new opinion is the sign of some kind of simple mindedness. When it shows the use of a mind. Period.

I guess what I’m trying to say is simply this. We’ve had a number of years in the US where the simplistic answer to any problem is taken without a second thought. Lets go back to logical arguments and debate on the floor of congress and throw out these simpletons who i wouldn’t hire to pump gas in a one pump station.

Oh yes! and campaign funding reform. NOW!

Ron Paul does have a chance at winning.
WHY? Look at the Minnesota gubernatorial election, 1998.
Jesse Ventura won. Unexpectedly beating the major-party candidates.

His campaign consisted of a combination of aggressive grassroots events and original television spots, using the phrase “Don’t vote for politics as usual.” He spent considerably less than his opponents and is widely regarded as one of the first candidates to effectively use the Internet as a medium of reaching out to voters in a political campaign.

I’m from Wisconsin… So I watched this play out on TV.
Nobody thought he had a chance to win. The debates were entetaining as hell!
You had these two seasoned polititions who spoke the usual goobly guk… and Jessie - with his straight talk!

So… just remember.. anything is possible!

i cant believe it! while reading lew rockwell.com i find a link to chris pirillo who’s talking about ron paul! i feel like i’ve entered a parrallel universe of my own utopian dreams. next stanley kubrick will make announce he’s making a film about an internet-driven election with a soundtrack by beck, radiohead and richard thompson! “Stop outsourcing your thinking.” Great line, Chris! I’ll start using it (as my own) tomorrow.

Great to hear your opinion Chris.I’m on the Dr.no bandwagon myself and I hope that we can hear more of your views on Ron Paul.

Chris, your thoughts were a joy for me to hear!

And you’re right; speaking of conspiracy theories is often just counter-productive. As it pertains to personal freedom one merely has to look at the topic of “mindfulness”. Alan Watts, one of my early heros, also spoke to something called the “science of no-mind”. In regards to “assumptions”, one eventually becomes cognizant that most are rationally or irrationally derived from “ig-nore-ance”…

… Which is why “beliefs”, more often than not, generally arise from fear.

Language itself can produce a kind of “tyranny-of-words” - if we allow it to dominate our “thinking”. For instance, the pronoun “I” - by its very definition - is really just completely made up… when one customarily attaches it… to his/her everyday thinking. To recognize the truth in just about anything is often illusory and fleeting…

… Even in such declarative suppositions as Descartes’ “I think, therefore I am”.

Conspiracy theories, of course, only spring from circumstances… absent of trust… through ignorance… or disregard… for the truth. In capitalist societies where individuals and corporations battle it out for mindshare of the consumer spending public’s faith and confidence… before converting malleable thoughts into actions… in order to gain market share… this can’t help but be a natural consequence… of such secretive or collusive arrangements.

See the circular pattern? ~lol~

What we call Left or Right thinking… is manipulated… by those in the financially and intellectually powerful elitist groups… of our society. Sun Tzu… maybe Lao Tzu too… might have said something along the lines of “keep your enemy guessing” for maximum strategic advantage… or for whatever reason… is suitable for the occasion. An old adage from the western tradition contained words like “divide and conquer”. In either case, the effect is the same.

Sometime, just for fun, take the time one day to read up on so-called communitarian law… and communitarianism. This will really get you and your compatriots going!

But then please, also simply laugh it off. Take pride in this bit of nostalgia from another “old ****” who said:

“It rankles me when somebody tries to force somebody to do something.”

Today this congressional gold medal recipient - and fellow Iowan - is known throughout the world as just “John Wayne, American”.

Ron Paul is different for the very same reasons that all of us are different - real Americans must celebrate our differences now and unite behind him.

Only… you know what? I believe you may have stated the same… but even more convincingly!

Great post Chris. Alex Jones even puts a link to it on TruthNews.US. Here’s the link:

Recent Votes[IMG]What Makes Ron Paul Different

Above the place for posts it says “What Do You Think?”. I think Ron Paul is an unrealistic nutjob. I wonder about those who say they don’t agree with him on everything but still worship him. And yes, I’ve read so many posts by his followers that I think worship is the only way to describe it.

To the best of my knowledge Paul believes in the elimination of business regulation. Here is a quote from a speech of his.

Economic threats against business establishments are notorious. Rules and regulations from the EPA, the ADA, the SEC, the LRB, OSHA, etc. terrorize business owners into submission, and those charged accept their own guilt until they can prove themselves innocent. Of course, it turns out it’s much more practical to admit guilt and pay the fine. This serves the interest of the authoritarians because it firmly establishes just who is in charge.

In addition he used this lovely and completely inaccurate statement, “Price fixing is impossible to achieve in a free market.”. Even Adam Smith knew that this wasn’t true.

He also thinks that Lawrence v. Texas was incorrectly decided because while the federal government shouldn’t have the right to govern people’s private lives the states should have that right. His position is that if the majority of people in a state want to ban something because of moral objections then they have that right and the minority have no rights to live their lives differently than what the majority approves of. Please do not give me the “They can move.” response to that one.

For anyone who does NOT believe that real change is possible I hasten to remind them that a unified electorate—at least in part sick and tired of America’s “foreign policy” (i.e., the war in Iraq)—shifted the political composition of Congress in the last election and, more significantly, were consequently responsible for Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation the day after the election.

Unfortunately most voters (i.e., most people in general) are so locked into the “inevitability thinking” Chris has alluded to here that they wouldn’t THINK of unseating a sitting president in a time of war: i.e., since “everybody KNOWS that you don’t change presidents in the middle of a war” they wouldn’t think of voting the self-serving idiot out of office even IF: 1) they recognized him to be the self-serving idiot that he is; 2) they didn’t agree with the war in Iraq; and, 3) they hadn’t voted for him in the first election. (Although Bush may have stolen the 2000 election he won by an unequivocal majority in 2004, signaling to the world outside the United States that most of the country implicitly supported the war in Iraq, despite the lies and subterfuge upon which it was based.)

It’s time to stop voting (and “thinking”) the way we’re being PROGRAMMED to vote (and “think”) and start doing some REAL THINKING and INFORMED VOTING.

Remember Quick Draw (”I’ll do the thinking around here, Baba Looey”) McGraw? If you recall, Baba Looey was the smart one.

Chris Pirillo on Ron Paul…

Chris gives a nice little rant that sums up very well how I feel about politics in this country.

……

In order to vote in the Republican Primaries, in certain states, they require you be republican. If you are serious about Ron Paul 2008, be sure to switch to republican for the following states before the deadlines.
If you live in NEW JERSEY deadline is DECEMBER 17TH
If you live in NEVADA deadline is DECEMBER 19TH.
If you live in KENTUCKY deadline is DECEMBER 31ST.
If you live in FLORIDA deadline is DECEMBER 31ST.

Ron Paul will end corporate welfare! The media hates Ron Paul and tries to marginalize him and smear him. Now, who’s commercials pay for CNN, Fox, NBC, etc.????? Answer: CORPORATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And people wonder why Ron Paul doesn’t get support from the mainstream media….hmmm…

Don’t let facts get in the way of your support for Ron Paul. Don’t get election laws get in the way either. If you donate your max, give more to a friend to donate to Ron Paul.

Then, go to that Obama supporting neighbor and burn his house to the ground. I did.

It is Ron Paul or death. Give me RON PAUL OR GIVE ME DEATH!!! RON PAUL 2008! Don’t get in my way or I’ll hurt you!

Ron Paul is Pat Buchanan lite. He’s a milk toat version of the old Nixon factotum.

Support immigration and *** rights vote Ron Paul

I am English and I love America.

It is the greatest nation on Earth.

I wish we had a man like Ron Paul as our leader, to stop the hundreds of thousands of anti-White hordes flooding into our country every single year, to stop unjust wars in which our brave troops are dying every day (I mean Iraq) and to stop the murder of unborn children that happens every single day.

in the end, youtube is owned by the guy that owns cnn and that same guy owns time/warner and that same guy owns several other big corporations making that same guy a big corporation bigwig with a political agenda and can easily influence where/when he wants his agenda to take place, the guy at the top of these corps. is hand in hand with social elites, the filthy rich get richer and the poor are kept poor! google “the bildaberg group” (might be spelt wrong)

I wish more people such as yourself was in news media. I enjoyed your perspective.

Bravo young man! smart kid.

He is 72 and yes needs to get in the oval office NOW and change the world before its too late. Not sure if he will be up for a full presidential campaign at 76+ years old.

u r tired right that mean u need go sleep because u have tomorow school :P

That’s the revolution, Americans do not want the country to be ran by corporations.

As a fellow American and Ron Paul supporter, I appreciate the insight of your video. Those of us that think logically have been disgruntaled with the whole “purse-string” process and do see how Ron Paul sets himself apart from other candidates. I have never donated money to a campaign before either and did so for the first time for Ron Paul. We do have an amazing country. Lead by example. I hope you get that interview!

dude, why the “old ****” comment? John McCain is an old **** too! He’s only 1 year Paul’s inferior.

Very bright comment, You’re 100% right.

That’s the way its supposed to be! But if you have noticed . Bush and Cheney are the biggest war criminals ever and also committed treason by all there terror talk! And lies to get us in to wars that had nothing to do with 9/11. Yet the people cant even get them impeached. Because there is huge corruption going on! This president and congress has taken the power away from the people. That’s why we need Ron Paul to get us back to the constitution.

When did we as a society stop looking to the educated or the wise, the experienced and yes the OLD for guidance? There’s only one real way to know where we came from and being educated enough to know how to deal with the future. That is to listen, learn and seek the knowledge other people have gained through years of study and life. I find it remarkable and unbelievable how disturbingly unintelligent we have become in a little over 300 yrs.

The tradition of looking to the old for wisdom took a big dive after WW2, but was in decline since the late 1800s. Traditional, “primitive” cultures venerate the old and dead, while modern, busines-oriented cultures value youth.

Good Stuff

So much to learn. Check out John Perkins’s Confessions of a Economic Hitman—we don’t have time. The election is stolen already. Educating the populace is the best non-violent thing, perhaps the only thing you can do.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!

Vote at your local Primary and get everyone you know to do the same!!!

Lets make this Revolution a Reality!!!

Nice Digi Photo holder

Amen! Now eat your meatloaf it’s gonna get cold. Oh, and go vote.

wtf its like hes talking to me!!!!!! ron paul supporter in Ireland what a coincidence. btw i wonder what chris feels about ron now…is the situation hopeless?

What I really hate is people that don’t vote yet they complain all the time about presidents and how they’re ******* up. If you didn’t vote then you chose to keep your mouth closed. So since you didn’t vote then the current events shouldn’t concern you and you should just keep your mouth closed.

“this old **** from texas” i was gona see what your point of view on the matter is since i have been looking into some of your other vedios about software and etc.., but i now simply dont care, you are an ill-mannered piece of ****
