    I think what this thread proves is that Ron Paul has a split personality.

    Sometimes he's writing racist screeds, and other times he's delivering biracial babies free of charge.

    Can we really trust a racist with a split personality who wants to destroy Israel?

    Fair enough.

    Do you really think Ron Paul is a racist?

    Ok this whole neo-con is a little misconstrued and distorted so I I'll just say that's a load of bull. If it's from these OG Republicans then yes we can agree to something there.

    Also what's so wrong about white supremacy? So it's okay for bigotry against whites but heaven forbid if whites took pride in anything. You self-hating whites make me sick.

    It's irrational and bigoted.

    No, of course not.

    Stop fixating on skin color so much. It's irrational.

    Politicans are like lizards and squids, they can change their shape and color when they need to. Generaly when they get down to the people level, they will do and say anything for a buck and a vote. Only the smart ones have the foresight to she the trends of the culture and know what to avoid. Some lack that foresight.

    Not really. We accomplished a lot.

    Hm...where have you been in the past 30 years?

    It's not skin color, it's the culture, mannerisms and perception. It is so easy for most other races to blame the whites for problems that they brought upon themselves.

    I'm not going to be an apologist like Deathshead here. All races have blood on their hands so there is plenty of blame to go around, it is unfair for all of it to go to one or two races alone. (Jews and Whites)

    You're calling me a racial apologist? That's a first.
    No offense but you've seem to have wanted to burst on to this forum like the Kool-aid man and in doing so you make a lot of premature assumptions about things and rely too heavily on labels.

    You're a young man. Don't be afraid to absorb the ideas of other people before launching an all out assault on them.

    Apologist...

    It's the internet so what's the big deal? It's the only place I can really be uncivil and not give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about it. No one on this forum, let alone anywhere else on the internet takes anyone seriously.

    So preach on! It does not matter what you think or what I think does it? I've chosen my path so at least give me the benefit of the doubt that I've continued down the path no matter how beaten it is.

    I have absorbed ideas, but it is my choice to also ignore them.

    And what president would that be?

    Perry with his racist rock?

    Newt with his awesome ground game in his home state? lol

    Mitt? The guy who is for gun control, NAFTA, mandated health care.... His actions are 100% contrary to what his rhetoric is.

    OHHH I know its Obama

    Yet when Blitzer asked him during the debate if he favored the government helping a seriously ill and uninsured 30 year old Paul effectively said no and stated that the 30 year should take responsibility for his inaction.

    Paul may have been a nice guy back in 72 but he's a turd now.

    Such as what services?

    And my point is that kindly ol' Dr. Paul really doesn't give a sh*t about anyone. Everyman for himself.

    You missed his point.

    The public shouldn't have to pick up the bill. There are kind individuals out there that set up charities, churches and other organizations to help out with this kind of stuff.

    This young man is in critical condition. Exactly what organizations are going to pick up the entire tab for his catastrophic illness?

    A church, some family members, friends.

    There are also non-profit hospitals around that take in patients that are in dire need. They're donated to by people and are commonly associated with churches.

    You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I work in a non-profit hospital and we don't routinely write off expenses incurred during treatment. We make every effort to collect from the individual or their estate.

    And name one church that routinely pays off hospital bills. The church that I attend is barely ends meet let alone handing out tens of thousands of dollars to hospital patients.

    Don't forget, this young man is suffering from a catastrophic illness with enormous expenses.

    I realize that you're parroting Paul's incredibly lame answer to Blitzer but this only goes to show how absolutely clueless Paul is.

    CNN’s Wolf Blitzer posed this question to Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul: “A healthy young, 30-year-old man has a good job, makes a good living but decides, ‘You know what? I’m not going to spend $200 or $300 a month on health insurance because I’m healthy, I don’t need it.’ But something terrible happens, all the sudden he needs it. What’s going to happen if he goes into a coma? Who pays for that?”

    “What he should do is whatever he wants to do,” Paul replied. “That’s what freedom is all about, taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to prepare to take care of everybody…”

    “Are you saying society should just let him die?” Blitzer asked.

    The audience responded with shouts of “Yes!”

    “We’ve given up on this concept that we might take care of ourselves, assume responsibility for ourselves, our neighbors, our friends, our churches would do it,” Paul explained. “This is the reason the cost is so high… We have lack of competition. There’s no competition in medicine. Everybody’s protected by licensing ”

    Blatant lies again. This hypothetical situation involved a man with a GOOD JOB that TURNED DOWN health insurance.

    Its so (*)(*)(*)(*) easy to show how much of a troll you are man.

    Btw the video is in the link. The article doesnt quote the whole exchange of course. Focusing on some losers screaming YES it was hardly the whole audience like the MSM suggests.

    Where is he lying? It is about a 30 year old sick uninsured. And RP basicly said he should take reposnsability for it aka probably die.

    Well, for being so racist, he did back Unionguy's candidate in 2008. Such a racist Ron is for backing a Black woman.
