Paul is an example of a man I believe God raises up, as a reminder, so that people can make no excuse about whom they really desire to serve.

Absolutely, DrFix. When one feels the pain of and is reminded of who their true REAL master is, by whatever means, they will do everything to ignore the irritation and agitation. And the irony of ironies, in this case, it's a politician - a renegade cell of the Leviathan organism itself - providing that irritation and agitation.

Always good to see, even if it's residual, humor in politics as with anything else, I suppose ;).

Staged attack it will be. Or some other contrived excuse overseas to roil the ignorant masses. I've already heard several people quoted as saying that "something" might happen this summer. Really? Just how is it that so many are speaking suddenly off of the same script? Coincidence its not.

Dixie... You're a cynic? Say it isn't so! LOL! I'm with you and everyone else who views politics with a cynical eye. Paul is an example of a man I believe God raises up, as a reminder, so that people can make no excuse about whom they really desire to serve. They can choose to look good in the eyes of man, to be like the other nations, thus voting in someone "electable", as defined by the current corrupt crew, or make a principled moral stand regardless of what the mindless herd clamors for.

I have little faith that people will do anything but choose for themselves a "king". Some things never change.

The GOP isn't "praying" for a terrorist attack at all, not by a long shot; it is actively working to make it happen. Mark my words, within the next eighteen months, probably in the three-month period leading up to the next presidential election, an "incident" will occur somewhere on U.S. soil that will be seized upon to justify the elimination of what little remains of constitutionally-based republican government. And of course the Amoricon masses will gladly cede what few pathetic "freedoms" they have left to Big Brother George and company, accompanied by cries of "Save us, oh Great Decider!" The suspicous timing of the event (one that, on close examination, will certainly prove to not have anywhere near the impact of the events of 9/11, even these having had microscopically minimal real impact on the nation's economy or security infrastructure) will of course never register with these brainless creatures, nor will the transparently incongruous "official" explanations of the events that will surely follow. No, Faux News, the Washington Times, and their fellow neocon propaganda organs, successfully pitched to the clueless koolaid drinkers as "objective alternatives" to the liberal-dominated established propagandists, have done their jobs too well, having cultivated the compliant, GOP-worshiping mindset that was the primary goal of the ruling cabal all along. With the exception of that tiny fragment of the nation that still values liberty, the full-scale tyranny that follows the next staged "terrorist" attack will be greeted with applause, not apprehension.

I've given up on this country, if it even remains one into the next decade.

I'm a hardcore cynic and have been for some years already and will be forevermore in this life distrustful of virtually anyone and everyone who plays in the political arena. Ron Paul is the sole exception right now and he just ain't gonna make it, given the electorate's collective mindset about many issues, but one especially above all else: dependency.

The dependency disease, made so paramount today by the populace having become greedy and thereby risk-averse, is ravaging all levels of the socio-economic scale - from corporations (doh!), small business, parents, churches, state and local governments, the middle-class (many of these are small business owners), and the genuine, bona fide poor, of course.

Dependency also is what creates high prices by artificially creating demand in various markets that otherwise would not exist. When folk don't have to pay out of pocket for services or goods, they greedily procure them. Health care, anyone? Food, petroleum, etc. are all affected by subsidies or outright giveaways at another's expense.

That's what's going to inevitably wipe out real freedom completely, Will, long before terrorism, real or imagined, can possibly manage it. When most folk depend on government for their livelihood to any degree, who needs terrorists to cow and regiment the masses?

Now if only we could convince the "christians" of what you said mister spock:-( They think that Rick's "Islamofascists" are going to come here[oh no they are here!] and slit their throats at night. Trust in the Lord, no they don't.

If you will permit a little schadenfreude, I'm glad that Santorum lost his bid for re-election. After caving on the pro-life issue by supporting Arlen Specter instead of Pat Toomey, he deserved to lose. Additionally, he's a warmonger, so we win twice by him losing, eh? (no, I'm not a Canadian, you hoser. And this may be a duplicate. If it is feel free to remove it.)
