Farewell Ron Paul...Thanks For The Ride!...

[Shelzin]

Everyone stop. Seriously all joking and politics aside. Attacking him on his service record is about as douchebag as it gets.

No one is attacking him for his service. The claim was made that he put his life on the line. Delivering babies on a base in San Antonio is not putting your life on the line.

Going to fight in Vietnam would have been.

If anyone is dishonoring combat veterans it is those that claim Ron Paul put his life on the line.

ok

He helped heal and save our Soldiers you miserable asshole. Which is much much more than you'll ever contribute to our nation.

Did he? I don't know that there were many female soldiers back then. Regardless, you have not demonstrated that he put his life on the line as you claimed.

I proved he did far more than you'll ever do for your nation. He served bravely & honorably. While you on the other hand, have only been a worthless & cowardly drain on resources. You've contributed nothing.

Why are you combat engaged in a troll, Paulitician?

Let it go, bro. It's like arguing with a fucking Rick Perry supporter.

I hear ya, but i like messin with Ravi the Raving Lunatic. She always ends up embarrassing herself. It's just entertainment. I don't take her too seriously. I know she craaazy.

Translation: Embarrassing myself means you can't prove your claim that Ron Paul put his life on the line.

I've seen your type before. 30s, white, Ron Paul supporter, living in parent's basement, whining about paying taxes. Taking after Mr.Nick and drooling over 14 year olds that aren't remotely interested in you. And then there's Dud, basically the same but in his sixties or seventies.

No, your 'translation' is just more craaazy Ravi the Raving Lunatic ramblings. The man served his nation bravely and honorably. While you on the other hand, have contributed nothing. So no translation needed. You're a dishonest cowardly mutant. It is what it is.

We had no income tax for over 100 years...income tax only came about in 1913.So we very much can do without an income tax.

How many other things, including our industrial and technological supremacy and our massively powerful military, did we not have prior to 1913?

We had that industrial and technological superiority far before 1913.

But, to answer the question, we didn't have a military that had troops stationed in over 130 nations, endless involvement in regional squabbles like WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and uncounted other "police actions" of the last century, for starters.

I suppose the hundreds of thousands of dead and maimed American boys has been worth progressive/socialist international empire, huh?

While I will agree that the income tax could be administered much more efficiently I do not agree that we can get along without it. The U.S. has grown much too big and complex to survive without government administration, which costs a lot of money. And the income tax is the only way to derive as much as is needed.

Fabulous blending of red herring, straw man and platitudinous twaddle in one brief paragraph...You should get a job writing vapid patter for TOTUS.

Ron Paul,

About 5 years ago I was walking down a dirt road in a dense fog. I was not the only one. There were so many of us lost and wandering down this road but we took comfort in being together in the same predicament. We would pass familiar signs and landmarks keeping us moving forward and reenforcing our way on the right path.

We were all too afraid to leave the road not knowing exactly what might be out there. I recall other saying if we veered or took a different path we would be sure to starve, freeze or worse.

As I was walking along the shoulder of this road something caught my attention down in a ravine. It was dim light flickering through the fog. I was comfortable up on the road but something inside me poked at my curiosity. A small group of fellows along the roadside were beckoning me to head down the ravine. They were the outcasts that we were told of...We just had it engrained in our heads that these people were fringe and crazy. But something happened to me. something called me. So when no one was looking I stepped off the road into the brush. It was the biggest moment of my life.

Little did I know that first step was off a steep grade of rocks, mud, thorns, thicket and tree branches. I must have slid a quarter of a mile or so tearing up my arms, legs and hitting my head. Up above on the road I could hear insults of how stupid I was, how I was a kook and then laughter. I tried to climb back up but realized it was useless.

Once at the bottom of this ravine I found you. You were holding a lantern on the edge of a dock where a raft was waiting with a few others that left the road. I was confused and in disbelief. You reached out and grabbed me, and helped me on the way to the raft. You showed me how the road I was following was a vicious circle full of deceit. You explained the best paths to take to break the cycle and forge a new path.

We set out over the body of water into the blackness. There were all sorts of creepy things along the way. Rough water, snakes, wind and hail. You never changed course. You stood firm and pointed this vessel to a point of light that was getting brighter and brighter as we approached.

Ahead was a beautiful sunrise penetrating the fog and trees. Once we made landfall we stepped off into a green meadow with spring buds and fresh aquifers running over the smooth rocks sparkling in the sunlight.

Over the course of the next 5 years, I made this trip back and forth with you. I stood upon the road and beckoned others. Each day you stepped onto that raft to head over to the dirt road to rescue more. Day in , day out, you were tireless.

Today I woke up to join you on the raft when I realized you were not coming. You had taken your last trip. As I pushed off to head into the blackness like we always have it hit me. This is what you wanted from us all along. We are now the raftsmen in the sea of despair. We are multiplying and rescuing more and more people. More than any one man could do. You have created an army of enlighten men and women.

You deserve to stay on shore. You did your part. I must say I am a bit sad to see you stay. I don't know how I can ever repay you. You have changed my life forever and the seed you planted will grow in my children and children's children for many years to come.

Salute Ron Paul!
The rEVOLution lives inside all of us and we are only getting stronger.

Priceless, coming from a loyal Obamabot nutter. Whatever.

I hope that Ron does not quit. I know he is old and the campaign trail makes one weary. With rest and reinvigeration I do hope he continues

Nice sentiments. Thanks.

Umm, "thank you republican party for giving me the opportunity to take my radical views before a mainstream audience"? Maybe not.

 

[dblack]

For my money, the most notable act of Ron Paul, was calling bullshit on the neo-cons when not even the Democrats dared to do so. He spoke truth to power, something so few in politics are willing to do.

Lackland AFB, right next door to Kelly, is the basic training base for the USAF, making it a top-tier target.

Foolisher and foolisher....

I hear ya, but i've already run Ravi the Raving Lunatic and RW off. They're cowards who have never contributed anything to their nation. While Ron Paul on the other hand, put it all on the line for his nation. And that's just fact.

What has Ron Paul ever put on the line?

He never put himself at risk, he is merely a political hack who votes against everything

 

[rightwinger]

He served bravely in our Military. What have you ever done pissant?

Did he? There is nothing on the internet that says where he served. Maybe he was stationed in Hawaii.

He's done more for his nation than you ignorant nutters ever will. He served bravely in our Military. What have you ever done for your nation?

Ron Paul served in the military as did millions of other Americans. He was never in the line of fire.

If you want to claim Ron Paul is a Patriot for serving his country, I will support you

If you claim he is a patriot for his TeaBagging nonsense, I will claim you are full of shit

TeaBaggers are NOT Patriots
