Who's calling who out

On a recent episode of our local talk show two interesting topics of Ron Paul was brought up. It appears the first one was a caller who generally wondered what the position of the host was on Ron Paul. It is NO secret that many media sources have gone out of their way to promote an agenda that is trying to discredit the Paul movement. Anyone with a thimble of common sense can go look at Mr. Paul's voting record or his web site to see this representative is the MOST Constitutional candidate this nation has seen since Thomas Jefferson. Media types are more than willing to misrepresent this man because they know very few people will do the research on their own, however the information is out there for the curious too look at.

One only need to listen to the speeches of Ronald Reagan and the voting record of Ron Paul to see that Mr. Paul is by far the most experienced and constitutional candidate on the floor of the House of Representatives.

During the show this morning it was said by our local radio show host that the people in the Ron Paul movement have tried to get said radio host fired from his position and by caveat have come after his family. Too bad it wasn't rating sweep week as this would've moved him straight to the top of the ratings heap. I have it on good authority the people who went down to the radio station asked for EQUAL TIME to present their side of this one sided argument. VD Jericho has misrepresented Ron Paul and those in this movement for quite some time so it is only telling that they would want for their side of the information to be presented as well. Mr. Jericho hasn't mentioned quite a few times that he would be willing to have some public discourse on this topic, but apparently he has backed out on this position. I guess he has been told by Dr. Scott Magill that this movement actually has intellectual people in it that can hold their own in the narrative sense. Can't dare do anything to make the host look like an idiot.

This Ron Paul movement has been portrayed as a socialist movement, a peace network movement, and various other ideas which in NO means could be possible of "TRUE" Ron Paul supporters. It is quite possible for a few people to infiltrate the ranks but the vast majority of Paul supporters are firms believers in the Constitution, and are far more conservative then most in the Republican Party. After all we have local republicans serving in the state legislature who haven't a care in the world that private property rights are being usurped by local governments, and in the mean time these representative have DONE nothing but pay lip service to the idea of protecting these rights. And yes I can name names should I need to do so and back it up with proof. I would sooner have a couple of peace nuts in my movement then have elected state officials in my party who could careless about MY property rights and ownership of land.

It has been said the Paul supporters are trying to usurp the rules of the delegation process so they can nominate Paul from the floor at the convention in MN. Here in MO the Republican Party literally sent out hundreds if not thousands of certified letters trying to challenge those that had been elected delegates and alternatives, because these individuals had had their loyalty to the party challenged including yours truly. I knew I was going to be challenged after all I hold an elected position for the local Libertarian Party, but for the party to go to this extreme shows clearly that those working for liberty and the Constitution are NOT WELCOME in the party which espouses its belief in such.

It is said that Mr. Paul is an isolationist, a liberal for his stance on the War on Terrorism, even though he voted to go into Afghanistan, a lunatic for wanting the U.S. to go back to the gold standard. An abortionist even though he states in many areas he is PRO-LIFE. How does this information get so misleading ?? Ron Paul is an advocate for states rights which means the federal government will abide by Amendment X. This type of thinking scares many in the Republican Party as this means some of their pet projects and government programs will be dismantled and allowed for the states to decide what is best for the population of each state, this is a scary transition for those that have been so successful in creating a NEED for government largess.

At 36:30 a gentlemen by the name of Chris comes on to talk about Dr. Paul and his stances, which said radio host once more misrepresents by instituting his own agenda instead of what Dr. Paul has said for himself. This call last until 42:05 with the caller still liking the constitutional aspects of Dr. Paul which means the radio host wasn't able to sway him from his thought process with an untrue diatribe.

Later on in the show a caller by the name of Jim calls in to inform radio host of his well made up fallacies on the issue of Dr. Paul. This happens at 47:42 and last until 50:30 where most of the airtime is wasted on the talk show host calling the caller every name possible with the caller on mute. This speaks volumes of the intelligence level of the host as he isn't able to hold an intelligent conversation with an individual Ron Paul supporter who calls up to call his bluff and misinformation on the subject.

I will give VD Jericho his do as he has done wonderful things here on the local level, but time and time again when he goes to the national level he gets in WAY OVER HIS HEAD and becomes nothing more than a parrot to the mainstream media and political party leadership.

I had to laugh

this AM while listening to our local conservative talk show host pontificating on how supporters of Ron Paul are going to destroy the Republican Party. This was done many years ago by people who tried to dictate to individuals how they must live their lives and they determined they should determine the essence of freedom. Dare I might add that lunatic fringe religious zealots added to this demise as well when they decided to dictate to the masses how one must lead a righteous life while they themselves didn't do like wise. Do as I say not as I do is not a way to abdicate political affiliations. As a religious individual I show people through my actions that having faith is essential to leading a good life, however I do know people that aren't religious that lead good lives as well. I'm really going to give him a break on this issue since being raised up in Canada is known to dilute the common sense of people. I would like to challenge Mr. Jericho to look at the voting record of Ron Paul and tell me where he finds such a notion of his thought process. There is NO one in Congress closer to being a reincarnation to one of our greatest Presidents Thomas Jefferson than Ron Paul.

According to the show this AM anyone who believes as Ron Paul is a flaming liberal , hate America crowd, and is destroying the greatest document ever written. Keep in mind that being Canadian raised VD Jericho still has fascist characteristics about him including how the individual should be governed.

I just about rolled off the highway laughing this morning when he pronounced me as a FLAAPL
and that yours truly is a danger to the United States of America. Imagine the horror that my special ops commander would feel if he knew that I was a turncoat and an American hater. I'm not a decorated war hero or anything(during the 80's we didn't go into military battles with anyone except that exercise in Grenada)but, I did serve my country honorably and with dignity until my discharge. I still love the country I was born in and all that it stood for by reading the Constitution. I dare anyone to read the document now and look at the government we have and tell me it still stands for freedom, liberty, and justice for everyone within the borders of this nation. Yes we have more freedoms than many nations, however I wasn't born there I was born here and I have fewer freedoms now then what was available when I was born in the early 60's.

It is a shame that my kids won't be able to experience a time when government doesn't tell you what you can do and how you can do it.

Imagine a staunch Constitutionalist with a good understanding of the document and an avid reader of the Federalist Papers being called a FLAAPL, it still brings a chuckle when I think about it.

And then there were 3

Mr. Romney falls by the wayside for the good of country and political party ??? Too bad the Huckster and McCain wouldn't do the same and allow a real conservative maverick to take the helm of what the party professes too be.

Started with 11 now there are 4

Ron Paul What isn't to like about a man that understands the constitution. I could list all his faults except he doesn't have any when in come to policy and politics. His name recognition has been lacking as most mainstream media outlets, both liberal left and conservative right, avoid his name because a true patriot scares the hell out of Washington DC and most people that follow politics. Lobbyist and moochers alike despise the man for his hardcore stances that defend the Constitution to a fault.

John McCain to say this man is a socialist will get me in lots of trouble since he is a war hero. I respect the man for his service in the military, I abhor his service in the Senate. The man proclaims to be for national security but yet he is willing to allow anyone to walk across our border and seek government benefits. He has squelched the voices of many Americans with his campaign finance reform bill, which should be called protect the incumbents job act. No matter what the excuse he wants to use he voted NO on allowing Americans to keep more of what they make. Government calls it a taxcut, McCain seems to believe he more than I is entitled to the money I earn. Is a co-conspirator in trying to keep a large percentage of the population scared to death by following the mantra of the extremist terrorist are out to get us. Keep in mind that Art IV Sec IV requires the federal government to defend this nation a task of which they failed on 9/11/01

Rudy Guilani dropped out and endorsed the socialist John McCain, like we didn't see that coming.

Mike Huckabee the man that raised taxes more in AR then even Bill Clinton, is now trying to act like a person of the people with his endorsement of the FairTax. His biblical beliefs have me a little worried because from what I've seen the Southern Baptist tend to be a little on the fringe. Isn't a supporter of national security as his policies on illegal immigration point out. He just like McCain fit the typical idea of a "conservative", which is someone that remains pleased with the status quo.

Mitt Romney
Has all the characteristics of the status quo politician. I respect his business mind and I respect his faith, however I'm not comfortable with a man that doesn't see any problem with the size and scope of government getting even larger. His stances on many issues has me believing he is very similar to Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
