How are these part of the NWO?
How about the criminalization of marihuana? The left-right paradigm????
Tax exempt income? Please retract that before I post actual proof. You seem to like to make things up and throw them out there with absolutely no proof. Congress critters are absolutely overpaid, but the do pay taxes on their incomes. He has done much more than read economic text books, but I wish our other "leaders" would take some time to educate themselves on basic economics. Maybe our deficit wouldn't be so huge.

Or how about being a full tax exempt government shill who has done nothing in thirty years and the taxpayers paid for him to just sit there and read economic textbooks. Those are two things I can think of off the top of my head! He sure likes his tax exempt salary tho.
No his salary is not tax exempt. Please research instead of posting outright fabrications like this.

Does ron Paul pay taxes? Why is he afraid to release his income taxes then??? Probably because he doesn't pay taxes and has some funny financial stuff under his belt that he does not want getting out.
It's not just Americans who will taste the power of true evil, the whole world will! It's already getting screwed up and all people care about is bread and circuses. Who cares about how they obtain that bread or attend the circus! Right? Live in the moment, die young. Go by the words "make life what you want" and "ooh-rah!" Oh and you bet there are too many people sleeping when there's a growing group believing aliens or a long overdue messiah will come down to liberate us from big bad government. Direct your happy thoughts for the future or wait for the "signs." Give me a damn ham sandwich my god... I sit on the side taking in literally everything and for a damn good reason. I just wish more were aware of what is too happen, what ever will happen for sure I don't know. I try to think what I would do in their position against a populace full of retards and bullies. Literally anything can happen.

I guess the number of people "sleeping" is still too large, can't imagine how bad it was 10 years ago (I was 10y/o then and didn't know anything other than my homework and computer games, so luckily I didn't have to debate with sheeple back then)edit on 22-1-2012 by Skizo91 because: (no reason given)edit on 22-1-2012 by Skizo91 because: (no reason given)

Really, I haven't really seen Ron Paul do any real change. He certainly seems to be letting Obama run all over the place
He is only 1 out of 435. How do YOU propose he control the O?

You think Ron Paul's foreign policy is so great? Just look at how Obama is doing overseas and you'll see Ron Paul will be ten times as worse. Pulling out all over the world is not a great idea.

Ron Paul and his supporters know very little about how real international relations works and what would happen, if Ron Paul's policies would be enacted.
The point is that he is a hypocrite. He vilified billary clintonista for having an affair while he was having an affair. He is a liar and a hypocrite. That should be easy enough for even you to understand.
