Nadin knows Ron Paul

On Ron Paul, a point many miss

Yes, he wants to dissolve a whole slew of Federal agencies, but not because he wants to dismante government, just the FEDERAL government. Theoretically if the state of Texas decided to have a Texas EPA that's fine, 10th Ammendment and all. This is a small distinction missed by both friends and enemies of Paul.

That said, he is a fan of ending the wars...it goes back to the traditional isolationism of the paleo cons. And his war on drugs shtick, again if the state of Texas goes after it, that's fine. Just not the Feds. This is a critical point.

This is way too much inside Paul basebal, but when you gotta explain paulese to potential targets you need to understand it too well. This is usually shocking to potential fans that have not joined the faith, since Paul always writes federal government in campaign bullet points. This shit can be done, and supported, at the state level is not usually that obvious. But he is a strict 10th Ammendment fan. And nothing that was ever not mentioned in the holy writ, errr.... Constitution, belongs to the Feds. Ergo, no social security and no EPA and no war on drugs and no federal highway administration.

In fact in Paul's ideal US some states would look like 1984, while others will look like Somalia. Now to say that is a worst nightmare... Yes, the bill of rights is there, but in his world view a state level patriot act is just peachy, the federal level, not in the holy writ.

By the way this is important for a whole series of fellow travelers who are less noisy but still that much fun. 10th Ammendment is code for states rights and original intent. Yes, they usually match nicely with racist pricks, but not always.

Any liberal who is fooled by his war on drugs, USPA and wars shtick is just looking at talking points. There is more to this than talking points. Oh and anybody who expects the press to ask hard questions of Paul, or any other republican, is just dreaming.

And yes, I was very impressed with his speech on special orders back in 2003, calling neocons to the carpet...and on the surface I might even agree with a few talking points...that's on the surface. He is a nut, a dangerous nut, that makes Michelle Bachman looks rational. Oh and his long term game plan is Rand and a movement that will take upwards of a generation to reach power, as in the Presidency, that's the long term goal. He is building a movement, not running for President. And this is a dangerous, proto fascist movement. So don't be fooled, please.

10. Most people actually don't know this

But a lot is finally bubbling out.

The speech I referred to was a marvelous speech. It was the first true exposure on the liberal blogosphere for Paul. It was masterful...and I mean that with complete admiration for how well he took down wolfowitz, and the rest of the crew. It was...this is a republican? That's the point people started to pay attention outside the usual corners. And many people staid at that point, or evolved into, can you believe it, he is a civil libertarian

Heck i'd use the speech as an example of stuck clock is right, in this case very right, twice a day.

Now tat his news letters are emerging the far right is truly emerging.

Oh and Ron please run as third party. He will split the GOP more than libs.

But having to interact with true believers every so often is all kinds of fun.

17. Why do you think that the 10th Amendment has not been repealed?

Do you believe that Amendments 1 thru 9 should be repealed as well?

And to Paul if a state decides one through nine are not good, poof in that state.

**** Ron Paul.

And seriously, double extra **** you to the newbie Paul trolls who show up here pretending to some kind of anti-war moral purity, while pimping for a knuckle-dragging racist homophobic shitbag who if he hadn't gotten into medical school would probably have moved to a cabin in Idaho and started building bombs.

I think Nads is getting worried by Paul - she probably suspects that with him on the ticket at least as VP, that 'The One' doesn't stand a chance.

I think its because she believes her own hype, and that the OWSies really are 99% of America. And a whole lot of them like Ron Paul.
