Thread: Dr Paul, A true Story of Compassion During a Time of Prejudice in TX

You have to understand the mindset and situation. Ron Paul was a part of a libertarian movement. He had a newsletter. He had some name recognition. He let others write for it and run the day to day operations of the newsletter in order to promote the cause of libertarianism while he was practicing medicine. These people occasionally used some material that was misguided in its strategy. Ron Paul was not actively a part of it and did not see them.

It was twenty years ago. The man is fighting so that your children aren't given a police state 30 trillion dollars in debt with a dollar so weak it takes a thousand of them to buy a potato. Give the guy a break on the newsletters.
It's an invented story.

Better these newsletters than supporting TARP, individual mandates etc. I don't see it as a big issue.

If he was playing doctor so much that he couldn't keep track of his own newsletter, maybe he shouldn't have a newsletter.

I got an ideal! Why don't you give me your email name, your password, and a list of your contacts and let me just send out whatever I want to. I think that would be the intelligent thing for you to do.

Out of thousands of newsletters there are only a few things that are being talked about.

You don't seem very open to discuss this.

This just sounds desperate and like you'll do anything to find a reason to hate and oppose a good and decent man.

Mark my words: We have the Patriot Act, we have the National Defense Authorization Act, we have a crushing debt, we have a falling dollar. We cannot endure as a nation another horrible President. A time will come when you look back and wish you weren't such a vicious partisan and supported Ron Paul when you had the chance.

Sorry, I am going to have to insist that my President be on top of things a little better. I would hate for one of President Paul's cabinet members make a non-agression treaty with Iran or North Korea without him knowing about it.

Ok I know that anything the left says is a lie when they slap the whole racist card on someone who doesn't fit their narrowminded ideology...

But where did all this "Ron Paul is a racist" bullcrap come from anyway? I'm only asking because the anti-Paul lefties harp on it so (*)(*)(*)(*) much.

Enlighten me.

A libertarian newsletter was in his name and ran for about 20 years and in that 20 years, through out thousands of letters, a about twenty sentences were cherry picked out that weren't politically correct (Imagine that, non politically correct at a time before political correctness). They range from calling MLK Jr. an adulterer, warning about big government, and saying the LA race riots ended when Blacks went home to get their welfare checks.

It's an invented story being used by the establishment on both sides of the aisle to hold on to their corrupt death grip on power.

You don't actually believe that, do you?

???: Dad, why aren't we free?

Unionguy: Well, son, we could have been but I decided twenty year old newsletters that weren't politically correct were more important than freedom.

Anyway, your analogy is absurd. This is like you running for President and me coming out to tell the nation that back in 1975 you forgot to pick me up at the airport and asking "Can we afford a President that can't even keep track of the time?" It doesn't surprise me you're union. Go harass voters with the Black Panthers and leave the business of restoring America to the rest of us.

So it's a leftist fabrication followed up by obfuscation of an actual document that was later doctored up to appeal to a leftist agenda. Oh how accountable the left is these days...
