Ron Paul: Angry Mobs in Europe a Sign of Things to Come

Ron Paul: Afraid Angry Mobs Could Strike U.S. Like They Did in EuropeDuring an interview with Fox News’ Lou Dobbs, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who gained momentum by finishing second in the Iowa straw poll, had words of caution for lawmakers Thursday when he asserted that the American public’s “anger” over fiscal reform is growing, and that there are likely to be angry mobs “in the streets” in the U.S. like there were in Europe.

Using a recent victory by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker — who Dobbs claimed saved school districts and local communities hundreds of millions of dollars — to segue in to the topic of fiscal prudence, the Fox host claimed Walker “is prevailing on every quarter here.”

Paul praised Walker for his success in reducing spending in Wisconsin, but noted he was afraid that as lawmakers continue the necessary work of cutting entitlements and exercising fiscal restraint, the American people will grow increasingly hostile and could accuse such states of being “heartless.”

“I see the anger building and I see the problems getting worse too,” Paul stated. “I think there’s going to be an inflation tax to hit us and I am just afraid there will be people in the streets like they’ve been in other countries when they don’t get what they want.”

Paul added that he thinks “we’re in for some more problems” and therefore, “it will be difficult to satisfy anyone at all.”

The widespread riots in the U.K., which occurred earlier in the month, were reportedly caused by people who believed they were being shortchanged on government entitlements and who blamed the rich, and perhaps to an extent conservatism, for their lack financial success.

Do you think Paul is correct in his assertion that cuts, especially in entitlement programs, will enrage a certain portion of society so much that they would take to the streets and riot like was recently done in the U.K.?

    Of course, I am ready to riot against welfare queens right now. The anger is brewing and the frustration is at a fever pitch. This is what happens when conservatives throw in the towel and agree to have no surpluses for liberals to spend. Fiscal decimation.

      Ron Paul is right on this issue, he must have been listening to Glenn. I like much about Ron Paul and agree he would be a thousand times better than Obama and probably better than any President since Ronald Reagan. Frankly my main issue is I believe we have an even better man in the race and that is Mitt Romney. Mitt has proven his shrewdness in negotiating to get his policies passed and when he says he will do away with Obamacare you can take that to the bank. Ron Paul supporters will actually get much more of what they want by supporting Mitt Romney than they ever will through Ron Paul. Mitt Romney is a very strong advocate of states rights, smaller government and the constitution.

      MissionaryDad, your support for Romney makes no sense! You give every reason on why you should support Ron Paul, then you turn around and give some political talking points on why you will be voting for Romney. That would be like a fat man saying all the right things about eating healthy, and then stuffing a 1/2 pound burger down his throat. The failed RomneyCare was Obama’s model for ObamaCare. You really think Romney wants to repeal Obamacare??? Then replace it with what, Romney Lite Care?? This election is way to important to simply believe the talking points of the candidates. It’s essential we look at their voting record, political history, and what they’ve said in the past. You want to know what someone stands for, use their own words as a track record. Ron Paul is the only candidate in this race who has been solid on his record since day one. Voting for President is not a beauty contest, its about hiring the candidate who most reflects the founders and their principles. George Washington warned us about the parties. Don’t let them manipulate your thinking….

Look at Romney’s record, then look at Ron Paul‘s record and you’ll see what the word “principled” actually means, and Romney knows nothing about it. He’s an opportunist and nothing else. Get schooled before you throw your vote to yet ANOTHER poser.

      I WILL TAKE MISSIONARYDAD’S SIDE IN THIS ONE BECAUSE…

      1. Ron Paul has done nothing in Congress over his many terms… term limits. He has no executive experience which was the problem with Obama and has only been a leader to his supporters, which I have to give him credit for because there are a lot, some would way radical, I would say ‘passionate,’ supporters. Sadly that does not make you presidential material.
      2. Though people love talking about how fiscally conservative/libertarian, there is very little to prove that in the past 10 years.
      A. He fought for earmarks, an appropriation of funds used as bribery in other bills so that people will vote for your bill instead of clean bills. Do away with earmarks and put them in appropriation bills like they are suppose to. That is why we have appropriation bills, to appropriate funds.
      B. He wants to audit the fed, pushing that bill for years and not accomplish much else. This is a good rule but it does not show fiscal responsibility.
      C. He says he wants the gold standard, but then he said he wants to sell the gold in fort knox, there is no gold standard without that gold. Plus to back up the dollar with gold would mean you would have to confiscate all the gold from individuals, with all the money we have printed.The US government has the ‘right’ to purchase back all gold from citizens of this country. We don’t want that.
      3. His foreign policy is scary, to say why can’t Iran ha

      While I believe that Ron Paul is the right answer I don’t understand why you felt the need to attack Christianity. What does Christianity have to do with Romney, or with a perceived shortfall in wisdom? I’m a Christian and a Constitutional Moderate, also happen to hold 3 Degree’s. I know several of my colleague’s are Christian, a couple who own EdD’s, and one a PhD.

      If you’re going to attack something, attack what you know. Setting up a strawman based on a misconceived assumption tied to a personally held bias or prejudice weakens your entire point.

      On topic, Ron Paul is correct that there’s trouble coming from angry entitlement parasites. That seems obvious. All societies decay from within and collapse under the weight of those who want something from nothing. More times than not the result is a wholesale collapse into an Oligarchy, or tyranny of the elite.

      Hey Secessionista: So you want to hear something that will really set your hair on end over these welfare queens? My husband works with the wife of a police officer in our area. Her husband was recently told that these low income people will have access to high-speed internet for only $9.95 per month. This police officer was told by a young man on the street, and I quote, “That’s real good ’cause the Baby Mama needs to have that.”

      Excuse me, but my family is really feeling the crunch right now because of inflation setting in. Our internet bill just went up to almost 60 bucks a month. And here are some deadbeats who get practically a free ride. When you call the mother of your child a “Baby Mama” instead of “my wife”, you reduce yourself down to the level of just a breeding animal. There will be an uprising because the hard working honest people of America are tired of handing over their hard earned money to people such as this.

      And if you really want to get ticked, my neighbor’s daughter who is a teen just received a 5,337 dollar check from our governement because her deadbeat dad finally got disability. What did she do with the dollars we earned for her? She bought a nice computer to store her KISS pictures on, several video games for her family, and some other incidentals. Makes you feel real good to know that your money is being spent wisely. By the way, she lives with 3 other adults, and they are all on welfare.

We papered over the problem without addressing it. No we address it here and there and and hell breaks loose. Lets face it, Americans have lived way beyond their means, borrowing money they do not have to pay for things they can do without all in the name of moving this fake economy forward based solely on consumerism. Its who we have become because we do not make anything in this country any longer and this is yet another organized deconstruction of American economic power by past admins.

      If the public in the US riots as Ron Paul suggests because of fiscal reform, believe me it will only be the T-Party crowd doing so. It will be another T-Party rally, though this time there will be more aggression. Those same conservative individuals who had no problems with President Bush racking up record deficits for 7 years are the same ones that decided to create the T-Party a few weeks after President Obama was elected. A few months into office, President Obama was pelted with his first T-Party protest rally against him and the dems to protest what a mess the country was in.

      If you look at the news the only real protests going on are in states were T-Party governors were elected. People are revolting against these GOP governors that doing things they never campaigned on as taking away people’s rights. In most of these states the GOP governors have very low approval ratings.

That would be alright with me. I would welcome a force that would stop all illegal immigration and take the ones who are here and deliver them across the border, no matter what nationality they are. They could enjoy the hospitality of Mexico for a change. The reason for us to have troops in Germany, Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, and on and on adnauseum, is to build up their countries and spend my money over seas.

      One nuclear plus I just found out with Ron Paul is he has promised to pull us out of the UN and the WTO. I‘ve often thought any candidate who stands for that I’d support. Any other candidates pledging to pull the US OUT of the UN?

      While I agree with Ron Paul, and the military footmen sent into harms way that are supporting him, about policing the world, I also agree with Herman Cain’s “if you mess with Isreal you mess with the USA” position. Israel is the one exception, where our nuclear capabilities should be brought to bear to protect…not our troops. Our troops should be to defend our homeland, except in all out declared war…but then if its all out everything should be on the table…not just troops. Troops last.

      He’s posture toward the Globalizing UN is GREAT. No candidate will be perfect in all aspects…and for better or worse no candidate will be able to do all promised. We need to be leary of the ones whose campaign rhetoric is one thing, but once in does differently…(ie big government/globalist GW BUSH) (Democrats not mentioned because they are liars by trade)

      Yes, there are going to be riots in the street. Always have been, always will be. I just think this go-round will be much, much worse. It’s just like the budget crisis — politicians too weak/stupid to make a decision let things get too far out of hand before tackling the problem.

      Ron Paul was pleading his case many, many years before anyone began talking about America’s financial problems. Ron Paul is a Duke graduate, a medical doctor who began studying economics. Economics is why he entered politics in the first place.

    Ron Paul knows all of the intricacies of the Austrian School of economics vs. Keynsian Economics better than anyone who has run for president. It’s no wonder that all of his economic predictions prove to be so accurate. Of course you don‘t have to be an economist or a historian to figure out that an economy based on fiat money can’t be sustained. The collapse of our economy is the most realistic threat that faces America today. Ron Paul really is the best hope this country has of avoiding the worst.

    Unrelated to the topic but a good article on Ron Paul to be in Time magazine.

      You may love him, but he does not have a chance. Old fashioned conservatives are not going to vote for this man. His stance on Iran and some of the moral issues make him unelectable. Just listen to what the majority on the blaze say about him. This is about as conservative a bunch as you will find. If most folks on here are not supporting him, then he does not have a chance in the big picture. that little straw pole deal gave many a false hope.

      Ron Paul is a great leader but there are too many stupid people in this country who do not know how good he would be for America. He is right about the anger building and everyone in this country should take out their anger against the political whores in Washington who sell our great country for votes and power.

      RangerP – Let‘s vote for the best looking guy then and not worry about what’s underneath. Ron‘s electable if people think he’s electable. Your just repeating what you hear like so many other folks. As you stated and not factual, most people on this site don’t think he can be elected. I know, let’s go for the darling Romney, ya, status Quo.

      This is my prediction: Ron will not get elected because people are afraid to change and they like to justify it by picking one or two cases to make him look bad. What is Obama doing about Iran that’s so great, NOTHING. So, basically the same policy Ron is espousing, I think he has a point! At least he’s not going to be apologizing and chumming up with all the communist. At least he‘s not the same idiots running for office and really don’t have the experience, including conservatives who think they are different. My Prediction: The media will win again at electing a president since people can be manipulated so easy. My Prediction: We can’t afford another Bush or Obama type administration, we need something differnent and I think Ron has demonstrated weather every agrees with a couple of his policies.

      I will agree, his presentation needs to improve to beat OBAMA’s BS Appearances, this is what we vote for collectively, the best speaker. Ha!

      RangerP,

      Sorry but I don’t buy into that “unelectable” nonsense. Ron Pauls poularity and message are growing constantly despite blatant and outrageous efforts by the status quo in both parties and main stream media (including Fox News). The reason is because he is right. Trust me I used to be one of the people you referred to as “old fashioned conservatives”. I was in lock-step with Rush, Hannity, Glenn, all of them. In 2008 I even believed that Ron Paul was unelectable and a little crazy. Shortly after that disasterous election (a lose-lose proposition with the candidates that we had pushed on us) I read an article by Ron Paul and much to my surprise, not only was he not crazy, he was brilliant. I then read more and more Ron Paul and at the same time became an avid student of Thomas Jefferson. I have since then studied many libertarian scholars and I now know what you call “old fashioned conservatives” are actually an exact contradiction of that term. A much more accurate definition is neo-conservative. If you research the term I think you’ll see what I mean.

      Old fashioned conservatives are war-mongers? That’s news to me. Why get involved in world affairs that have no impact on the United States? Iran is all talk- all propaganda to create fear. Forget the fact that they don’t have the means for any type of attack; their entire country would be obliterated by Israel in minutes after any type of attack. I suppose the neo-con attitude (although you may refer to it as “old-fashioned conservatism”) would say that we need to invade Iran and keep them from doing what we do and exploring nuclear technology.

      @Titan
      I ask you to view the nuclear capabilities of Iran in the same light as criminals and guns. Governments cannot prevent people from obtaining weapons. The best solution to keep peace is to arm yourself and be vigilant. Your beloved Israel can hold her own against Iran. We can surely hold our own against Iran. We need to get our nose out of the middle east, fix America, and stop pretending like the big-government establishment is the answer.

      Silencedoesgood,
      You are right. I stand corrected. There is no other candidate who will make the necessary changes so Ron Paul is our only hope.

      BTW
      A little off topic but I would ask all of the war-hawk neocons to explain the huge disparity in military donations to Ron Paul compared to all of the other GOP candidates. Released today…

      Dr. Paul was able to produce $36,739.79 in donations from U.S. military personnel. His closest Republican competitor was Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain, who raised $6,223.
      The complete breakdown can be found below (in alphabetical order):
      - Rep. Michelle Bachmann: $2,550
      - Herman Cain: $6,223
      - Rep. Newt Gingrich: $1,025
      - Gov. Gary Johnson: $0
      - Rep. Ron Paul: $36,739.79
      - Gov. Tim Pawlenty (dropped out of race): $250
      - Gov. Mitt Romney: $5,000
      - Sen. Rick Santorum: $250
      *Texas Governor Rick Perry was not included in the tallying.
      Total GOP Military Donations without Paul: $15,298.00

      Read more: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/310783#ixzz1W65Eujq5

      Notice how Santorum who rolled his eyes and mocked Ron Pauls position on Iran got a total of $250 bucks from military compared to Pauls $37,000! To those who arrogantly call Ron Paul naive about our military actions, how do you explain this?

The neocons have hijacked the Republican party and used fear rhetoric and war propaganda along with insistance on cheering our aggressive military actions to prove patriotism, all in order to advance the big government Military Industrial Complex. There is big money in perpetual war, but it is morally abhorrent. I think that’s all he was saying.

Dr. Paul has some very different points of view about the military. But he is 100% right on foreign policy because our current foreign policy makes no sense whatsoever.
      1) Foreign Aid: We borrow money from China (at interest) to GIVE it to some country that hates us but only tolerates us so long as WE pay them so that WE can PROTECT THEM! It is like a mob protection racket gone insane!
      2) Israel: The US claims to support Israel but we give billions in foreign aid to every single muslim nation that surrounds Israel and has vowed to wipe them off the face of the earth. Then when they do attack every US president has “called for restraint”. Our foreign aid to Israel has made them into a dependent incapable to do anything without the permission from mommy and daddy. We need to let Israel off their leash to kick whose @ss they feel needs to be kicked.
      3) Our troops on the DMZ in South Korea are speed bumps. We pay billions every year for bases around the globe and for what? a 12 hour faster response time. 82nd, 75th, 173rd are all ready to go in 24 hours or less. Does it make a difference if we arrive 12 hours later. Is it really worth the $

      We were attacked on 9-11 but not allowed to fight a real war, our ex-pats, students and airplanes have been attacked for decades.

      This has been a war of Political Correctness more concerned with our popularity rating overseas than taking care of the problem, and it has cost us.

      But one cannot get around what Jefferson heard when he went with John Adams to wait upon Tripoli’s ambassador to London in March 1785. When they inquired by what right the Barbary states preyed upon American shipping, enslaving both crews and passengers, America’s two foremost envoys were informed that
      “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
      Ambassador Abd Al-Rahman did not fail to mention the size of his own commission, if America chose to pay the protection money demanded as an alternative to piracy

      The level of tribute demanded began to reach 10 percent of the American national budget, with no guarantee that greed would not increase that percentage, while from the dungeons of Algiers and Tripoli came appalling reports of the mistreatment of captured men and women.

      There were many Americans—John Adams among them—who made the case that it was better policy to pay the tribute. It was cheaper than the loss of trade, for one thing, and a battle against the pirates would be “too rugged for our people to bear.” Putting the matter starkly, Adams said: “We ought not to fight them at all unless we determine to fight them forever

      Your comment presumes we are currently preventing or intend to prevent Iran from finalizing the creation of their own nuclear arms arsenal.

      Iran, essentially unaffected by sanctions and dismissive of western warnings, is merrily chugging right along with their nuclear enrichment and missile development programs. Indeed, Iran is unabated and apparently acting with absolute impunity as a primary exporter of terrorism. Iran also defiantly continues to fund and arm our enemy in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems Iran is unconcerned that America’s military might certainly long ago should have and still could be, brought to bear on them.

      Granted Iraq and Afghanistan do bracket Iran on their east and western borders, which could be a huge militarily advantage to us, if we ever decide to actually stop their nuclear weapons development by striking them militarily.

      Do you see that happening or is Ron Paul correct by default?

      Unless I misunderstand your last post, I think you were trying to demonstrate for your wife how uncivil and irrational Ron Paul supporters are. However I would issue the same challenge to you that I’ve issued to others who make this claim… Read all of the posts on any Ron Paul story on The Blaze and keep an honest tally of name calling, and ad hominem attacks or any other uncivil behavior. I’m willing to bet that the numbers of those tactics will be much higher on the part of Ron Paul critics than Ron Paul supporters. In fact at the same time keep track of how many of those incidents are initiated and how many are replies to an initial uncivil post. I’ll also wager that by far the Ron Paul supporters only get rude in response to the rude and hostile slander directed at Ron Paul.
      In regards to the second part of your post
      “I want a candidate that is conservative on spending, shrinking the federal gov, getting rid of abortion, appointing the right judges to the supreme court, keeping our military strong, keeping the people and our interests safe from islamic terrorists, stops giving the sodomites and other wicked folks special rights and attention…..

The true Christian position is not one of aggressive or pre-emptive war, nor is it one of attempting to make people moral at the point of a gun.
      Just one last thing. As far as giving sodomites and wicked people special rights and favors, there is absolutely no candidate who is more against special rights or favors to ANYONE, than Ron Paul.

      @RANEGRP-Glad you like my post. Ron Paul has a different position for sure and as one of his supporters some of us can be a bit over the top. That said I have to make this very valid and often over looked point. Assuming for a moment that we pulled out of every nation on earth tomorrow and brought all of our troops home:
      1) we still have the most powerful Navy on the planet and protected by two vast oceans
      2) an Air Force that is unmatched in power and presence
      3) a Marine Corps that will kill anything that moves
      3) and an Army that will dominate any conceivable land battle
      4) But most importantly we still have NUKES.
      If Iran (or anyone else) touched off a dirty bomb or nuke in an american city it would be the last thing they ever did. I don’t care who is president the outcry to turn that country into a giant glass parking lot would be deafening.

      Dr. Paul is PRO-DEFENSE. Here is an except of his campaign website on his stance on National Defense. http://www.ronpaul2012.com/
      * Make securing our borders the top national security priority.
      * End the nation-building that is draining troop morale, increasing our debt, and sacrificing lives with no end in sight.
      * Follow the Constitution by asking Congress to declare war before one is waged.
      * Only send our military into conflict with a clear mission and all the tools they need to complete the job – and then bring them home.
      * Revitalize the military for the 21st century by eliminating waste in a trillion-dollar

      A few months ago, I would not have understood your post. I am new to the blaze, and even newer to reading stuff from the liberetarian crowd. Because of this, I now understand your post. They seem to be conservative, but have a strange loyalty to this man that baffles me a bit. I am about as conservative as you can get when it comes to small gov, low taxes, but the moral issues are just as important to me. This is were the libertarian (how the heck do you spell it anyway?) crowd and I split ways. Seems they are not real happy with people that see issues different than they do.

      @RANGERP “Seems they are not real happy with people that see issues different than they do.” That about sums up conservative mind-sets, not libertarians…you have it backwards. Liberals too, but mostly conservatives. True libertarians respect the opinions of others and respect their right to have varying opinions. It‘s not that libertarians don’t have or agree with morals, they just respect people’s choice on morals. What make conservatives so scary (and I used to be one) is that you have to have THEIR set of morals or else you’re evil or bad. You have to agree with THEM or else they will judge you. And my God do they ever judge you. That;s about all they ever do..judge judge and judge some more. Libertarians don’t judge people on their beliefs or morals, and that is the main difference.

      There are already internment camps built and ready for rioters and those who want to destroy and kill and rob and loot. Since there is not enough room in prisons for so many immoral liberals that will act up and blame everybody else for their own problems, they can all go to the interment camps. The elites that want to rule the world and have it all have known for quite some time on solving the problem with out of control crowds. Actually, it is a great idea. Stick all the liberal lefties that riot in the camps and lock them up and take them to the showers.

      @Libertarian Infidel, that’s a terrible misrepresentation of libertarian thought. What you are spouting is Marxist cultural relativism. Libertarianism focuses on getting government out of the way of exercising personal choice. That doesn‘t mean that we can’t hold others to a moral standard. If a person chooses to shoot up heroine, then those that oppose his lifestyle can choose to not do business with that person, employ that person or interact with that person. Society is best at regulating morality, not government. Government, more often than not, gets in the way of individuals making moral choices. That‘s Ron Paul’s position, not the anything goes cultural Marxism that supposed libertarians like you profess.

      RangerP,
      I don’t mean to seem focused on you but the blatant contradictions in your posts beg for response.

      “They seem to be conservative, but have a strange loyalty to this man that baffles me a bit.”

      Forgive me if this seems condescending but I think you’re baffled because you are confusing neo-conservatism with real conservatism. Ron Paul has been rated as the most conservative in Congress for years.

      “I am about as conservative as you can get when it comes to small gov, low taxes, but the moral issues are just as important to me.”

      Two things.
      First when you say that you are about as conservative as it gets regarding small gov. and then (on another post) express support for Rick Perry, I think you will end up disappointed when you find out Perry is anything but a small gov. proponent. (he might say otherwise but his record speaks for itself.)
      Second, when you try to legislate moral issues, it not only doesn’t work (a law can’t possibly make a person become moral), but it contributes to more crime. Prohibition and huge drug cartels are evidence of that. It is not the traditional conservative position to want to control other peoples lives, that is the precept of progressives, which, if you have done your research, you know includes neocons.

      @Sagat I’m sorry Sagat, but if you‘re telling me that libertarians judge other’s beliefs, then that person is not a libertarian. True libertarians do not judge people on what they believe…as YOU SAID YOURSELF, if we do not agree with a person’s beliefs, we won’t interact, do business, etc etc, but to sit there and imply that libertarians judge people on their beliefs goes against everything libertarian since libertarian by definition is freedom. That means freedom of choice. Freedom from a choice different that what we believe ourselves. If a satanist wants to date my daughter, I respect his decision to worship satan and I will not tell him he is wrong…but he won‘t be dating my daughter because it’s not what I believe would be best for my daughter.

If you don’t like what your state does, then you can always move to another state that does adopt your beliefs. As for Iran, do you honestly think that Israel will not protect itself if war was to break out against them. Iran would be a sheet of glass in minutes. The US is the reason that Israel doesn’t destroy Iran now anyway.

      You don’t seem to understand your own stated positions. You state that you don’t judge others for their beliefs, but then give an example of how you would judge a Satanist to be unworthy of dating your daughter. Libertarianism is based mainly on not using force to impose your beliefs on others. It does not mean that you don’t have moral convictions, which would naturally lead to you making judgements about others’ beliefs. If you believe stealing is wrong and another person thinks stealing is okay, then you would judge that person to have morals that are incompatible with yours. Saying that you don’t judge him is just some leftist feel good BS. Of course you judge him. And you would take action to make sure that a person like that doesn’t negatively affect your life. Your idea of libertarianism seems to be posioned by cultural Marxist ideals, where you assume that all belief systems are inherently equal. That is not libertarianism.

Perhaps you are pushing YOUR conservative ideas off as libertarian ones, I’m not sure. Maybe ignorantly calling my ideas “Marxist” over and over again gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, so you just go right ahead and keep doing that if that’s what makes you sleep better at night. You are somehow confusing the words “judge” and “tolerate”. Dictionaries are available online now-a-days…dictionary.com perhaps. You can not agree with someone, and not judge them because of it. As I said in the Satanist example, you can disagree with him and decide you do not want to associate with him, yet not sit there and say he‘s wrong or that he can’t chose to be a Satanist. I don’t know how else to explain this to you, you just will never get it. People have religious freedom…deal with it.

      There are a bunch of commentators, Mike Church, in particular, who are trashing republicans and conservatives as if the were libs and democrats, all in an attempt to bring Ron Paul to the forefront.
      They are secessionists and in Church’s case he is a cartoon character who comes across as an old 45 with a crack running through it.
      I strongly agree with Levin and I would never want Paul in the White House.
      Eighty percent of what he says is sound, but the remaining 20% is sheer lunacy, particularly when it comes to international issues and defense.
      True conservatives should embrace key elements of his libertarian philosophy but to embrace his stance on defense would be suicidal.

But what Ohio and Wisconsin shows is that mad Americans demostrate, not act like angry mobs, they force recall elections and protest through the ballot box (the Ohio bill is certain to fail in November and in Wisconsin the Democrates picked up 2 seats in districts that only a few months earlier went for herr Walker).

    Ron Paul is an old man and a fool. He is too wedded to the John Birch society and their paranoia. 2012 is going to be the Workers’ elections, whiel the Tea Party will see itself disappear from the political stage, much like the LaRouche cult and the John Birch Society.

      Have you not heard the successful results of Walker’s bills? “..a state facing a projected $3 billion budget shortfall with no end in sight now has a projected $300 million budget surplus. The amazing successes in Wisconsin have emboldened the legislatures and political leaders of other states, who have seen the wonders resulting from a little political backbone and fiscal common sense.

      The repeal of much of Wisconsin’s collective bargaining law has already improved the quality and lowered the cost of Wisconsin government exponentially.
      Collective bargaining is harmful to schools and students, costs an exorbitant amount of money, and lowers the quality of education. If one listened to the violent rhetoric of the public employee unions, one would have expected today to be a dark day for education in Wisconsin. . Now the bill is law, and we have evidence of how wonderfully it is working. Instead of a catastrophe, it is a day of miraculous optimism, balanced budgets, educational improvement, and fiscal recovery.

      There is a lot of speculation as to what the fallout will be in the wake of these conservative successes. Wis. residents witnessing the miracle may well vote to keep the state solidly conservative.”

      The “Bush” tax cut let the lower and middle class keep about 2 trillion of their tax money, and the upper class (top 5%) 800 billion. Now we have about 50% of the “workers” not paying a dime in federal income taxes, thus not paying their part of in the defense, law enforcement, etc cost that they enjoy, but reap the benefits of entitlements such as welfare, section 8 housing, the works. Now take me, who has not missed a year where I have paid a positive amount in taxes, but do not qualify for any entitlements such as government subsidized housing, food, education. Now ENCINOMOM, IN YOUR INFINITE WISDOM, EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS IS FAIR>

      Elena2010,

      Thank you for an accurate and concise description of the Tea Party. It seems that about 9 out of 10 times the media talks about the Tea Party they either intentionally lie about it or completely misunderstand the message. Personally it drives me nuts every time I hear or read the words “Tea Party favorite Rick Perry”.

      Looks like the Birchers were prescient from here. Ron Paul is trying to help the poor. He understands that the paper money/Federal Reserve system is a tool of govt. and the financial services sector. It concentrates power and wealth.

      We used to take care of the poor with charity, cooperatives, mutual-aid societies, churches, neighbors, etc. The welfare state metastized to include the middle and upper income groups. It always does.

      What about all of those workers who had to pay much higher taxes because govt. unions and politicians ‘negotiated’ self-serving sweetheart contracts? Those workers far outnumber the government employees? Aren’t they the forgotten man? Govt. union workers were getting far more for comparable work that their productive sector counterparts. That is due to a collusion between the poltical class and govt. workers.

      Many of these “workers” are administrative people who staff bureaucracies that are duplicative or are unnecessary in many instances. There is so much pork in government. Why do you ignore all of this? Why do you ignore all of those real workers who have to pay higher taxes and fees to support govt. union/politician corruption. Why?

      It is interesting that we have never read any Encinom posts that threaten others in here, but in this thread alone there are lots of veiled and straight out threats against him. Lots of big tough guys.

      Do our Taxed Enough Already brothers and sisters act out these violent fantasies? Or are you all a bunch of tough talking wussies.

      I do not know your “body count’ but I can say from experience taking out a human being in conflict, while unavoidable, is humbling and reflective afterward. Big talk does not go along with the dutiful taking of a human life.

      You say you are wise, rational and balanced grass roots patriot organizations, but you continue to spew hate for the poor and weak. Those folks you say you hate are authentic Americans that you have mentally demonized and vilified without facts.

      BTW, you can say I am in Mom’s basement all you want. I have paid more than $100,00.00 in income taxes for the past 7 years. I do love this country, and put my fair share of taxes up for it!

      What is sad is how fooled the fools of the Blaze are. The Polls and the recent evens are proving that the American Middle Class and Working Class are waking up and sick and tired of the useful idiots of the Tea Party tell them to bend over for the corporate masters. From Ohio, to Florida to Wisconsin the Tea Party politicans are taking cover as the storm they unleashed turns on them. Yet, the mindless drones of Fox News and Beck still act against their interests and as along as god and guns are left alone, willing turn over the rest of their rights.

      The Tea-PArty is nothing more than a gathering of the ignorant and paranoid. As this truth is exposed they are shrinking from the scene. The Blaze is the Alamo of the moon bats and bigots.

      ashestoashes,

      I am at early retirement age. I would go where I could live in relative peace and enjoy myself. Possibilities we have tossed around are New Zealand or any of the “going bamboo” south pacific island spots. Also, being from Florida we have done a bit of sailing and there are many Caribbean hotspots. Granted some of the governments of these countries is…questionable…but for the most part they treat Americans like royalty and someone with a moderate nest egg could live like a king.

      Of course we are just toying with the idea. We are happy here and no matter what the government does we still have more freedom here than most places in the world. Obama will not be around long and while DC will always be a swamp life does go on. I was more making the point to our friendly troll that the people who are supporting his/her lazy azz do not have to stay here. We already see this happening.

    I fear for the time from Election Night 2012 when Obama is defeated to Inauguration Day 2013 . I can see the Dems and Obama encouraging protests and demonstrations during those 10 weeks. I can honestly see a scenario, especially if the election is razor close and he loses, where Obama will not physically leave the office because of the riots and protests. Obama not only needs to defeated, but it needs to be by such a wide margin that will also sweep the Dems out of Senate control. Wisconsin is so much better off since Walker took office, but does the media do any reporting on that??

      only when the riots happen from funds drying up, the rioters will be out for blood and what ever goods they can steal

Question really if but when ths will happens and exactly WHO will start it!
      Some like myself will argue it has already started with uprising in Wisc and Philly. While others will say its crazy or go as far to say “it wont happen here”. Those that think myself and others are wrong that it has started have this imaginary image in their head, expecting a shock and awe moment. Im sorry to tell you when that happens the ‘S’ will already ‘HTF’! As for the wont happen here folks, well they will be the ones screaming and whining “why didnt anyone warn us” Well we are/ did you just dont want to listen!
