NeedToUseYou -> RE: Obama signs Patriot Act (6/1/2011 1:50:41 PM)

I find it hilarious, how people jump on Ron Paul, for being unrealistic. As opposed to what? The realists running the country? Last I looked this country is still being propped up via artificially low interest rates, they are drowning us in debt, our military is still all over the planet.
So, you go to a neocon and say we should pull most of the troops from around the world, we can't afford it, The neocon replies, that's not realistic, the world is a daaaannnngerous place, look out behind you, whoops, thought I saw a terrorist.
So, you go to a liberal, and say we don't need a department of education. The liberal replies, what about all the poor children, he wants to make them pay for their education, of for shame, it's not realistic to not have the government (federal), involved, as everyone deserves an equal chance....
You go to another, constitutionalists well, they believe in a literal interpretation of the constitution, so, that means everything would go back to exactly the same as the day it was written, there would be slavery, etc.... Good loorrdddy jesus, Ron Paul supports slavery.... No, I believe they clarified the whole slavery thing, via legitimate means, and I've yet to see one person advocate for a return to freaking slavery.
Lol, it's just to retarded, Ron Paul is not bringing back slavery, he would send education back to the states, and neocons will bankrupt this country before they'll ever acknowledge we spend to much on the military, and maybe terrorism is an overblown threat in proportion to the resources we are devoting to fighting it.
Oh, yes, the IRS, is 100% unnecessary, Ron Paul said while it's not his preference, he would prefer a National sales tax over the current system. Just because someone has an ideal vision in their head, doesn't mean they won't compromise in the name of getting at least a better system than the existing one. I mean we all know Obama isn't getting everything he wants, we can still own property, guns, and there isn't a 90% income tax (exaggerating just a little), and Bush didn't get everything he wanted either, considering we aren't at war with every country in the world, and haliburton doesn't own everything.
So, anyway, it's all funny at this point, everyone is holding on to their little propped up slice of the pie. So, we'll NEVER NEVER NEVER get out of the mess. Neocons will vote for Romney, Welfare/Federal/IRS lovers will vote Obama, and megacorps will build all the nice guns, planes etc... for the bloated military regardless of who wins. I mean, seriously, Obama LOVES the shit out of some war. And Just look at Romney's 2008 ads, Terrorist this, and Terrorist that, so either way that military budget is not going down much.
Really, it matters not, if you are voting for Obama or Romney, or whatever sorry alternative that is no different than the rest gets the Repub Nomination. They'll all bail out the banks, they'll all support this bloated military, they'll rob the nation blind to fund medicare. And the country will gradually decline.
Can't wait.
Fun Times. (Sarcasm)
So, my question if not Ron Paul, then who? I'm not attached to him, he's just a dude, so who else will actually, do something about military spending, in a meaningful amount? How else won't get us in these dumb conflicts over oil. Who else, will actually cut anything of consequence. I see no one else. I wish there was.
So, belittle, bemoan, begrudge, the current leading jesters are far worse.
