The reason Ron Paul looks like the outcast and heretic is because he's the only one who is brave enough to speak for the American public. He's the only candidate without an agenda that will further bankrupt the people and the country.

WTF is wrong with me I read all 48 pages! Some very informative posts. I must say that I do hope the OP is right and everything is fine and dandy, however I'm not convinced as it goes against all my experience and research.

Can someone please tell why on earth Ron Paul wants to get rid of the departments of Education and Energy?

What exactly has the Dept of Education done since it's inception?? Look at the trend of our student scores since it's 1979 founding. You tell me what a great job it's done? I would suggest we were better off before we had a National Dept of Education.
The Department of Energy is a more mixed bag. It has overseen both our civilian and military nuclear sites and weapons. However, since the 1973 Oil Embargo, it has failed to ween us off the teet of oil from the Middle East. You would think given 39 years they would have made some headway.

Well for a start it makes sure that Oregon is teaching the same kind of things as Missouri, and vice versa. Given some of the scientifically illiterate crap that some of the state boards of education are churning out right now, I'd say that it's desperately needed.

So much hatred for Ron Paul. The establishment hates him because if they let him, he'd probably make a positive difference in this world. The lefties hate him because he comes across as right wing in some of his ideas like freedom and liberty - "freedom" is a dirty word to organised socialists of most flavors. The right hate him because he comes across as almost commie in some of his ideas and because Ron Paul's PR people put the word "love" in "Revolution".
So is he left or is he right? He's neither.
Unlike the "ideallogically pure" Ron Paul is correct in his presumption that 90% of politics is BS for show-ponies and the power-hungry. With an establishment like that which sociopath do you side with? Who's got the right idea? Ron Paul has done the right thing and he chooses what works and discards what doesn't - regardless of who's hidden agenda it may hurt.

Ron pauls idea of freedom would lead to a collapse of the country. Maybe thats why you guys like him so much. Most people here want to see the world collapse for some sick reason.

The world is collapsing by design, by those in government, by those who sit in corporate offices. Ron Paul was one of the few who tried to inform the public of this, but unfortunately they have been brainwashed to think "the elite" know better.
