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

[Oddball]

Good for you. So he didn't put his life on the line.

Maybe little paulitician can come up with another example of his brave patriotism.

During the Cold War, one's mere presence on a military base was putting their life on the line, as every installation was a primary nuke target.

But feel free to keep embarrassing yourself -if you are in fact capable of the emotion- with your irrational hatred...It's at least marginally amusing.

Oh, of course it was. Those commies were ready to blow up San Antonio at the drop of a hat.

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

Foolisher and foolisher....

The irrational fear of communism was why we lost so many in Vietnam. Ron Paul was never in any danger.

This is Ravi. Digging that hole deeper..

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.

I blame the hat.

 

[Ernie S.]

So you don't know where he was stationed, either. Maybe that is the reason he is afraid to run as an independent: not being truthful about his military record.

Dr. Paul has actually contributed. He sacrificed for his nation. But what have you ever contributed? You're just ignorant ole Ravi the Raving Lunatic. Not much of a contribution huh? Moron.

He delivered babies. Where did he serve, Hawaii?

He's a gynecologist. There's not a lot of call for that in combat. Hawaii would have been more practical, but I believe that he was stationed in Texas.

 

[Ravi]

I bet you used this same rationale to talk about how brave Dubya was riding around drunk in a jeep in the desert. Those commies could have blown him up at any time!

Don't buy into Ravi the Raving Lunatic's ramblings. He did a hell of a lot more than that. He helped heal and save our wounded soldiers too.

The irrational hate for Paul in this thread is quite pathetic.

It's terrible. The lame stream media has done it's done very well. It's turned the masses into programmed Zombies.

This leaves me astonished and to be quite honest quite saddened

Maybe it's the Paul-bots that are the brain-washed ones? I mean, same slogans, same reactions. Heck, you guys even share the same Star Wars character's outfit.

No, it's irrational.

It's the only way to explain why people that constantly claim his irrelevance endlessly argue about how horrible he is.

He has no use for Jews, blacks, or women. He doesn't believe that doctors should have to follow basic rules and regulations. Irrational? I don't think so. Nor hatred either. Disgust at his brainwashed supporters (with a few exceptions, there are a couple of Paul-bots here that aren't hate-filled spewers).

Also his claims about how evil government handouts are while he takes all the pork his state gets. And his ass kissing of the Republican party to get votes.

Seriously Ravi, do you really believe your ramblings? I'm trying to be open-minded and compassionate here. Have you really looked into what Ron Paul is about? Just asking.

A touching farewell to the Good Doctor. Those of you who are members of the Ron Paul Revolution, will truly understand the writer's sentiment.

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.

Farewell Ron Paul ...thanks for the ride! | Peace . Gold . Liberty | Revolution

No. There's no sense of grandiosity here. Not at all.

Despite that throwaway bit of sarcasm, this essentially leaderless (for good reason) movement is ripe for a self-serving demagogue to come along and clutch the reigns of the movement probably with little other intention than to enrich himself and get his ego stroked in the process.

 

[cereal_killer]

He has no use for Jews, blacks, or women.

Where the heck did this come from? How are you coming to these conclusions?

 

[MikeK]

While I do embrace some Libertarian ideals I do not agree with that party's more extreme ambitions simply because I reject the notion that a society as massive and as complex as ours can function with as little government as true Libertarians are willing to accept.

Ron Paul is an MD, which means his livelihood is assured regardless of any political or social circumstances. He can cross any border and his services will be in demand. Such is not the case with the vast majority of people, most of whom have come to rely on organized, government controlled forms of commerce and equitable distribution of wealth and resources.

Too many so-called Libertarians are concerned with one thing, elimination of the income tax. But they give little to no thought about the consequences of such a radical prospect. And that is the reason for the Libertarian Party's consistent failure.

Baloney.

You misconstrue his main premise into what it could potentially lead to, and then stick him with the results as being what he wanted in the first place.

He doesn't want the Federal Government to have more authority than was originally intended in the Constitution. It doesn't mean he thinks the Civil Rights act or child labor laws or medical regulations have no place in the world.

Granted, I myself, as you have probably seen, don't really agree with the Libertarian view of removing most authority away from the Federal Government, I think much of the philosophy is well-intended, but very impractical when applied to modern times. I have a hard time comprehending how such a transition could actually occur.

But, I like the type of character Paul has for someone in the US Congress, you may not agree with him, but at least he's sincere, and I actually think he does have our best interests in mind, whether it's an agreeable approach or not.

Now Mitt Romney is a worthy enemy...direct the hate at him.
