#131. To: FOH (#127)
An interesting charge to make against someone who voted for Buchanan in 2000. But perhaps to be expected from someone who wants to stir up trouble.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
don't fret, FOH. their votes aren't counted anyway. ;)
FOH's loyalty to Ron Paul, such as it was, was severely shaken when I pointed out that Ron Paul and Kucinich are friends.

Don't worry, I've already lost all respect I had for you. You went from supporting the anti-establishment to joining the establishment. Sucker.
Our last hope for peace This is a very good speech, but it has the typical Obama signature to it. So...what to do now? Invariably, Obama leaves that out. I'll refrain from commenting further.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.

Wrong, not because they're friends. Rather, because Kucinich is a Commie Fruit Loop that hit a couple notes just right but still had no place even being considered on a ticket with Ron Paul...you know that, though. I have friends that are bigger losers, politically speaking, than you or Dennis K combined, ari.
Our last hope for peace You went from Ron Paul to Obama. You have no credibility left...

I'm not fretting, I'm just wondering how many RP supporters are really smart enough to be part of the solution...
Our last hope for peace I read platforms to decide who I vote for; rhetoric and charisma carry zero weight here. If what is under the hood is undesirable, it doesn't get my vote, regardless of what else is going on. So far, no Democrat has a platform that I would vote for.

It is going to be interesting to see how the media handles the speech since the Clinton campaign started accusing the media of Obama bias 3 or 4 weeks ago. The Clintons have deep and powerful media ties especially in the NY media, and even managed to get SNL to do a long skit regarding the bias two weeks ago (Hillary made a "surprise" guest appearance), and then last week a long opening skit portraying Obama as inexperianced and inept.
THIS IS TOO GOOD!!!! According to a variety of sources, the following presidential candidates are either members of one of the groups or have strong ties: Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, Fred Thompson, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson. Mike Huckabee, though not a member, spoke to the CFR in September. Since then, his political star has risen to the point that he has become a top-tier candidate. So often throughout recent history it has been the case. Ever since Democrat Adlai Stevenson challenged Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956, the odds have significantly favored those with membership in the elite groups. In 1960, both John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon were members. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson was not a member. Neither was his opponent, Barry Goldwater. But Johnson had already staffed his administration with plenty of insiders. In 1968, it was Nixon versus club member Hubert H. Humphrey. In 1972, it was Nixon again against Democratic Party CFR member George McGovern. In 1976, it was CFR Republican Gerald Ford losing to CFR Democrat Jimmy Carter. In 1980, Ronald Reagan was not a member, but his running mate, George H.W. Bush, was. So were both of his opponents – Carter and independent John Anderson. Assuming office, however, Reagan quickly named 313 CFR members to his team. In 1984, another CFR member, Walter Mondale, was nominated by the Democratic Party to challenge Reagan. In 1988, CFR member Bush took on CFR member Michael Dukakis. In 1992, Bush was challenged by an obscure governor from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, who won the "trifecta" by being a member of the CFR, Trlateral Commission and Bilderberg Group. He was also a Rhodes scholar – another favored credential of the worldwide elite. In 1996, Clinton was challenged by CFR member Bob Dole. In 2000, CFR member Al Gore ran against non-member George W. Bush, but his running mate, Dick Cheney, was. In 2004, Bush was challenged by CFR member John Kerry. www.alipac.us/article2888.html The CFR most certainly has more influence than any of us would desire, or put up with if we could help it. But, IMO, a reading of the above would leave anyone to conclude that the listing presents politicians falling within a range of full-hearted CFR'ers down to suck-ups to the elitists. Given that, sad as that may be, I refuse to relinqish my right to particate in the process. Frankly sir, and meaning no offense, it is also my opinion that thosee that do fall within a spectrum also .... from zany to childish.

I guess aristeides was correct about you.
'Individuals should not take responsibility for their own defense. That’s what the police are for. ... If I oppose individuals defending themselves, I have to support police defending them. I have to support a police state.”' Alan Dershowitz
That's what it boils down to. Out of 300M people, what a 'choice.'
You do get carried away .... Ronald Reagan was not a CFR member,

So did voting for Badnarik last time. If you're going to throw an insult, at least get your facts right.

I'm not concerned about McCain *if* we have a Democrat Congress. I am concerned with Hillary and a Democrat Congress. Of the two Democrats, Obama is the best choice. He shows the capacity to learn and even the most cynical person has to admit he pays good lip service to issues at the very least. At Chez Mirage, we are "traditional New England Republicans" meaning we believe in a balanced budget, smaller government, and all that stuff. The only candidate that believes in that is Ron Paul and we will be voting for him until we are not allowed to any longer. We don't like RINOs and we don't like NeoCons. We do vote for Conservative (or Blue Dog) Democrats if they are better than the Republican. Color us "equal opportunity" here. Color us "wild-eyed independent" as well if you wish. But, again, I give Obama high marks for the speech. I just wish it recommended a solution or even outlined the pathway to the solution. I expect the grievance industry and the Black Community will, in some parts, come unhinged because Obama threatens their livelihoods. We will have to see what the fallout is from that.

More to the point, I was correct about the lot of YOU...

Obama's role in all of this was defined when Barack Hussein Obama was asked to address the '04 Democrat Convention...he's just another OWM puppet. Amazed at how many people are stupid enough to fall for it, especially the supposed Ron Paul supporters who are now playing the Establishment game.
Our last hope for peace Weren't you going to run as a "Ron Paul Democrat"? !!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

How could an Obama supporter that pretended to support Ron Paul offend me?
Our last hope for peace Seriously, the whole lot of you faux RP supporters jumping to one of the establishment selections are sick little pups...
Our last hope for peace Even Ron Paul had the good sense to avoid endorsing the Establishment Traitor of his own Party...
Our last hope for peace Only at the difference in the target. Imagine Diversity and Grievance people attacking their own. Obama does "get" one very important thing. You cannot fight discrimination with discrimination. He is ahead of every other Democrat in that regard. Now he just needs to "get" that people self-segregate by choice in the modern age.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.
As usual, mirage is looking to see who the Libertarians are running since the "top two" choices will be unacceptable.

and made an appearance on Monday Night Football
I had no idea...amazing how many sheep (even supposed Ron Paul patriots...LOLOL) fall for all this.

I wholeheartely agree with you on this issue. But, I also believe, as Dr. Paul implied ... this American shame is not going to be corrected at the national level.

They've been hooked back into the circus. Obama knows how to deliver some seriously strong Kool-Aid.
