The Constitution is not some holy all-powerful document, and most of Ron Paul’s beliefs about deregulation and state’s rights would make this country hilariously worse.

The only times Ron Paul is right on an issue is because it is a side effect of him being wrong about another one.

Your comment is responsible, respectful, well reasoned, and persuasive. Unlike Anons’.

I would read with great deliberation and due dilligence any posting by any Anon offering a responsible, respectful, well reasoned, and persuasive explanation for why pyramidal corporate power; expressed as perpetual copyright under which intellectual property NEVER returns to the public domain; achieved by a priviledged minority at the cost of corrupting the democratic process; against the interests of every private citizen of the society, is not a disgrace worthy of repudiation.

I suspect that this Anon is not at fault.

Perhaps such an explanation can not be supported because it doesn’t exist.

The Arab Spring reference is, perhaps, fair in that it speaks to the selfless human willingness to speak truth to power on behalf of the powerless who can not speak for themselves. What I find great about the Arab Spring is not merely that it toppled a seemingly eternal tyranny; but, that because of the commitments and truths that empowered it, it made possible the gift of a greater human potential to a suffering humanity which had been brutally denied.

I think it’s honerable of Rick to speak for the distance between
himself and the Hosni Mubaraks of the world. Everywhere I find someone doing that, I think it’s honerable for us to add our voice.

As for the comparison to Barak Obama and Angela Merkle, I’m sure Rick will accept an apology.

Why?

Because Barak Obama and Angela Merkle belong to an exclusive country club of powerful leaders empowered by an even more exclusive club of other powerful leaders whose shared reality is that they get to be powerful and rich and highly esteemed together.

When they fail, they do not failing their powerful backers. When they fail they fail the rest of us.

Why?

Because real leadership is not leadership in the service of the priviledged. Real leadership is not popular or comfortable.
Real leadership is not safe or profitable. In fact, real leadership will get you banished from the country club; thrown into jail; derided in the media; ridiculed; outlawed.

I’ld rather be compared to desperate outsiders throwing stones against against a pyramid of entrenched power. Wouldn’t Rick? Wouldn’t you?

If you’d done your research you’d know he’s a staunch follower of the constitution, you are attacking him for his personal beliefs even though he’s stated a number of times that he believes in the separation of church from the state and even though he advises life over abortion he wouldn’t force it on people by using the law.

I don’t agree with Ron Paul on everything, in fact I disagree with him on quite a few things, but he is one of the only ideologically consistent politicians out there that actually vote for what they believe in.

Like I said, please go and do your research before attacking someones personal beliefs and opinions.

Should I summarize that wordwall for you?
“Rick sucks and I’m going to hold my ears screaming “La la la” at the top of my lungs until the world outside my head goes away again!”

Currently the pirates of Germany poll 10% across the nation. If they get in, both of the big ones will fight for theior vote. “Copyright” will be cast on the roadside as soon as those “Adults” find their ability to legislate now rests solidly in the hands of those oh-so-necessary votes in the middle.

Actually, that’s not quite true. Every political youth party shares the same ideas and that includes the greens and many of the liberals.

What you are in effect saying is that the democratic process isn’t worthy of respect when it goes against your personal opinion. Some might call that a clear-cut case of textbook fascism. I call it a very thinly veiled attempt at trolling.
