How I found the Site

[WillieKamm]

I was trying to find anything Ron Paul might have said about Sarah Palin, and came upon just such a topic on this site. There seemed to be some vociferous attempts to enforce a kind of ideological purity, which I found rather curious on a supposedly liberterian leaning site. Being the highly opinionated sort, I may try to go slow here at first, just do some reading and try to get a feel for the place, and to learn some of the names and posting styles. As for me, if Obama gets elected then I think I would feel like a Spanish Nationalist in 1936 when the left took over. Does that make me a fascist in the eyes of some?

Hi and welcome to the Forums most of us here are just average voters so don't worry too much great place but like any family lots of in house fighting and different opinions, all the moms on this board deal with this every day just in here we do it over politics instead of the dishes

I cannot speak for any else, but I think you are a fascist. :rolleyes: Hope that helps answer your question.

Absolutely, because none of us here agree on everything, and we do indeed have some Obama supporters in these parts.

As long as you have a thick skin, and a slow fuse, dive on in.

Oh, great! N00b Wars!

I, for one, consider all of the above to be insufficient data. Welcome to the board, both of you, and feel free to flame away. It will help us get to know you! :D

Welcome, and a great idea.

Welcome, most people here would agree Obama is a socialist. This is a pretty anti-socialist movement. But a very small few here are voting for him.
Ron Paul and leftists do not mix very well. We do not like McCain much either. Bob Barr has officially entered onto the shit list with most of us too.

Most us libertarians are vehemently individualistic and agree as much as we disagree. Much fun.

EDIT: I don't understand why you think that not liking Obama would make you a fascist in our eyes. We are Ron Paul supporters, we think Obama is a fascist.

Most of us here seem to agree that it is the departure from certain principles causing our current problems, so one might say that it was the abandonment of ideological purity that is to blame for America's problems. There is a point as all views become acceptable were a state of confusion will exists and persist, there is no compass to guide the nation by because after all, everyone's views are just as valid as the next person's. The reality if the situation is that not everyone's views are valuable or acceptable in the case of running a nation and certain historical evidence would suggest that there are laws for successful social compact. It is most wise to recover these principles from the dustbin of history and be guided by them, rather than think that somehow our time is different and that we are any different. The question comes down to whether we are about maximum personal liberty, or whether we will allow the few to rule over the many instead of the many to rule themselves and how we will best accomplish either.
