Liberty For Security"Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither" - Benjamin Franklin

I know who my audience is. You're mostly conservatives and libertarians (and that's the way I like it). So I'm going to convey this story in a way you all can understand.

But first, a brief history lesson.

In early 2009, a government document entitled "The Modern Militia Movement," commonly known as the MIAC Report, was leaked to the public. The document detailed the rising trend in right-wing militias and was created to help local authorities identify militia members and domestic terrorists, suggesting that Ron Paul bumper stickers or Gadsden flags could be ind

Reality Has A Liberal Bias?In his New York Times bestselling book Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, Emmy Award-winning journalist Bernard Goldberg wrote about the pervasive liberal bias he experienced firsthand while working at CBS News for 30 years. He claimed that the bias was not part of some conspiracy being secretly implemented by the media, but that it was an unintentional consequence of having so many politically like-minded journalists working together in the same environment with very little dissenting opinion among them.

"If you hooked network news reporters and producers to polygraph machines and asked them, 'Do you think you are g

Top 10 Economic Myths BUSTED"Tax the rich! They don't pay their fair share!"

"The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer!"

"Bush killed the economy with massive deregulation! We need more regulation!"

"Beware! The Koch Brothers are transforming this country into neo-feudalism! We're all going to become wage slaves to our corporate feudal lords!"

Everywhere I go on the internet, I keep running into the same trite economic talking points. Not that these talking points are hard to debunk (on the contrary, they're easily debunked), but that they keep popping up time and again, and I get sick and tired of debunking them each and every time. So, to do mys

Arguing With IdiotsWe all have our addictions. For some, it's smoking. For others, it's drinking. And for many others, it's porn. For me, it's arguing on the internet—the most fruitless endeavor since Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a hill.

I don't know what compels me to argue. I guess it's this naive notion that, if you encounter someone with an incorrect belief and you provide them logic, reason, and evidence to the contrary, that they will abandon their belief. If that were the case, the world wouldn't be plagued with birthers, truthers, anti-vaccers, Keynesians, and other idiots with blatantly incorrect beliefs. You can lead an idiot to knowledge but y

Why Occupy Wall Street SucksAfter months of protesting the wrong people, the Occupy Wall Street movement finally got a clue and went to Washington D.C. on January 16 to stage Occupy Congress.

And boy was it a real bust!

Despite the liberal media praising it, the protest only managed to garner a few hundred protesters instead of the over ten thousand it claimed it was going to have. Add the fact that donations have been dwindling and protests across the country have been getting evicted, and the Occupy movement could very well be going through its death throes.

People keep asking me why I don't support the Occupy movement. After all, my hero Dr. Ron Paul supports it,

Republican Vs. LibertarianDisclaimer: The following conversation is intentionally hyperbolic and features an obviously exaggerated stereotype. It is not meant to be representative of all Republicans--only the stupid ones. The purpose of this conversation is to highlight the doublethink surrounding most Republicans and their claim of "limited government." If this portrayal in any way offends you, kindly hit the backspace button.

Republican: I vote Republican because I’m a proud conservative who opposes big gubermint!

Libertarian: So you support limited government, then?

R: Just like our Founding Fathers: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Chuck Norris!

Ron Paul Hateby ~BlameThe1st

Digital Art / Other / Political

Anti-Ron Paul Sticker from Zazzle.com: [link]

Even though Barack Obama has failed to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, started military conflict in Libya, continuously extended the Patriot Act, authorized the assassination of American citizens, called for the prosecution of the growth and distribution of medical marijuana, created an economic stimulus that failed to stimulate the economy, and bailed out the banks and auto industries, Democrats would still vote for Obama rather than Ron Paul—even though he has opposed all of the above!

The reasons they have for hating Ron Paul are trivial at best. They argue that he is a Republican, even though he’s the sanest one in his party, and more anti-war and pro-civil liberties than any Democrat—including Obama! They argue that he doesn’t believe in evolution, which isn’t shocking in a country where only 39 percent do. They argue that he doesn’t believe in separation of church and state, even though he has opposed faith-based initiatives. They argue that he has “insane” and “radical” ideas like returning to the gold standard (because our current fiat currency is fairing so well!) and allowing states to set their own laws on abortion, gay marriage, and drugs—an idea based upon the Tenth Amendment.

In the end, there really is no excuse for not voting for Ron Paul. No one could reasonably compare Obama and Paul and decide that Obama was the better choice, unless, of course, they were the youthful ideologues who truly believed in his message of “Hope and Change”—even though the past term has seen very little hope or change. Of course, one can always give Obama another four years to see if such hope and change will eventually come about. My question is: can America survive for that long?

Let me get this straight:

"allowing states to set their own laws on abortion, gay marriage, and drugs"

So although he may oppose abortion, He acknowledges that the Ninth and Tenth Amendment allows the states to create and uphold an abortion law that may be different from his own view.

His wikipedia article even states that:

"In 2005, Paul voted against restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions."

He also allows people to get contraceptives, As long as they pay using their own money.

============================

Frankly, I also notice that his reasons for being pro-life sound like he really cares for the fetus, Even after it is born.

Most pro-lifers simply use the fetus to promote themselves, Once it's born, They don't care.

They just wanted a trophy.

Ron also seems like the person who can forgive anyone for aborting a fetus.

Whilst most pro-lifers become very, Very hostile towards anyone with a pro-choice opinion, Threatening to hunt them down, Torture them, Rape them or worse.

And get this, Some of them are actually lefties.

It is sad that most pro-lifers act violent like that, though I would like to think that they are the exception rather than the rule.

~triadenforcer May 7, 2013

The phrase, "Don't judge a fruit basket by it's bad apples." rings in this sense.

(Made the quote myself.)

Question:

If I made a joke about abortion, Would you be able to laugh and take it in stride?

Some of these guys can't.

im a black dude and i agree with ya man.

~BlameThe1st Feb 28, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Nice to know. Too many libtards try to paint Ron Paul and his followers as racists, even though they aren't.

~thestefan Feb 28, 2013

so true. i never thought he was a racist. so many people tried to get me to think that but i just wasn't buying it.

Nice to know some people think for themselves.

Corporatism i like but the rest is beyond aweful! i guess i love ron paul XD

~BlameThe1st Feb 27, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

What's to like about corporatism? It's the bastard child of capitalism. It's what the statists confuse for true free-market capitalism.

=aNIGHTLYpony Feb 28, 2013 Student General Artist

Corporatism is a hybrid between capitalism and socialism, which is good to my opinion.
i am AGAINST the 100% free market, all small shops and companies get bought by the bigger companies which is unfair because they concurate the heck out of them.Actually i prefer to go to the bakery instead of getting my bread in a great shopping mall. diversity is a good thing! the free market is the whole cause of the crisis, the big bosses can fire people without caring about their people getting unemployed and the money they make only goes to THEMSELVES. The free market is a good thing because with that we can build our own luck, but i insist the companies give at least 30% of their profit to the STATE to do what the state is meant to do: Caring for its people and to keep people employed,healthy and to secure their good wellfare.

People who refuse that are selfish snobistic pricks to me,weither you are rich or poor we must remember 1 thing: a nation is made by the people who build it, and as an inhabitan of the country you live in each must give to the state in order to ensure its greatness.
ONE people,ONE duty, ONE nation!
