Yesterday, Gingrich said he never applied for a single deferment. "I had two children during that period, I never asked for a deferment because during the period I was a father, and it was automatic," Gingrich said.
"My dad, by the way, served in Vietnam…”

Like most of his generation, Gingrich was moderately anti-Establishment (he tried pot, and participated in a campus protest at Tulane University) and chose not to go to Vietnam, opting for deferments available to him as a father and a student.
But unlike most young men his age, Gingrich would be haunted by his decision. Later, when, as a hawkish congressman, he would lash out against the "weak-on-defense left" and espouse universal military training, his opponents would investigate Gingrich's own military background.
Sure enough, he found himself listed among a sizable group of noted conservative hawks (including George Will and Richard Perle) who had managed to avoid the war, the "war wimps," as they came to be called. In 1985, he told Jane Mayer of The Wall Street Journal that he still believed that "Vietnam was the right battlefield at the right time." Why didn't he go? "Given everything I believe in, a large part of me thinks I should have gone over," he allowed. But, recovering, he added, "Part of the question I had to ask myself was what difference I would have made."

Come you masters of war You that build the big guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks. You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my world Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly. Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain. You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion' As young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud. You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins. How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you That even Jesus would never Forgive what you do. Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul...

im starting to wonder about the whole conspiracy that Ron Paul is a tool of the Illuminati or whatever.. because the way the MSM plays him is just too freaking obvious... its like i feel im being led into a trap by assuming im too clever to fall for the obvious trap.
but then again, its far more likely that everyone is just freaking stupid. stupid people are always obvious in their stupidity.. maybe there is no great game at all.. maybe its just a bunch of idiots running around with their pants down shoving money up each others asses?

Great, another post by someone whos fragile ego compels them to say nothing of consequence, just to further the delusion of their own superior intelligence.

I honestly could not care less who is the president of the USA - it has nothing to do with with me. Probably why i get fed up seeing so many threads about exactly the same thing......
From what i have read he appears to be a decent politician and therefore probably a good bet for people to vote for. I still fail to see though why almost everything he says gets its own thread. Perhaps someone can explain it to me in simple terms.....

I will say it again in this thread. I have absolutely nothing against Ron Paul. However, there are now so many threads popping up about him it is getting past the point of ridiculous. Does every day warrant multiple new threads? No, no subject does. When it occurs with other topics then Mods simply close some down or move to one thread. Why not do the same with same here? All i am really saying is lets have a bit of parity.
Also, who mentioned anything about superior intelligence or even hinted at such a thing?
