Oust the mountebanks!

[undergroundrr]

That's my new motto. I knew the good Dr. would go on the attack eventually. But I would never have dreamed he would unleash a phrase like that! It has a certain r3volutionary ring to it...

[slantedview]

Hahah, yea I loved that, after I looked it up :D

[jgmaynard]

Yeah, it's a new word for me. I intend to work that into conversation. :)

Dr. Paul said "Oust the mountebanks!"? Where , when?

Edit: Oh , Ronpaul2008.com


With your help -- and I can’t do anything without your help (donate here) -- I want to change all that. Together, we can restore our constitutional republic, and oust the mountebanks who violate the ideals of the Founders with income taxes, Federal Reserve inflation, deficit spending, preemptive wars, torture, secret prisons, and abolition of habeas corpus.

The only other modern figure I've heard use the word "mountebank" is Christopher Hitchens. There's someone who has taken a dramatic personal path from socialism toward libertarianism. Unfortunately he got snagged by pre-emptive war and the AEI. Too bad. He's a mondo Paine and Jefferson fan and would be cool to have on our side.

Where did he say this?

[aspiringconstitutionalist]

I had to look up the word as well.

Should be our battle cry: "OUST THE MOUNTEBANKS!"

Campaign email sent today. It's on the front page of ronpaul2008.com right now.

[linusPAULing]

:D I had to look up the definition of mountebanks too. I wonder how often he uses that word?

Perhaps at the upcoming protest of the fed on December 23rd.. my sign will read

Oust Bernanke and the Mountebanks!

[davidkachel]

RP just used that word because he is too polite to say "thieving bastards"!

[undergroundrr]

Oohhh, paydirt. Check this out -

"The social function of economic science consists precisely in developing sound economic theories and in exploding the fallacies of vicious reasoning. In the pursuit of this task the economist incurs the deadly enmity of all mountebanks and charlatans whose shortcuts to an earthly paradise he debunks." - Ludwig von Mises

December 15, 2007


What an amazing mission you and I are on. What great ideas we uphold -- the legacy of the most important thinkers of liberty in our country's history, and the most important doers of liberty in America. At the top of that list are the donors and volunteers of this campaign.

I could spend all my time thanking personally you and everyone who has done so much for our country's future, and not scratch the surface of what justice demands. But I want you to know how much I owe you, and everyone dedicated to the real America. You and I know our real country -- the America of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, of economic, civil, and personal liberty, of strong families and communities, of great businesses and professions, of strong peace and low taxes and sound money-all of which are under assault by the politicians who occupy our nation's capital.

With your help -- and I can't do anything without your help https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/ -- I want to change all that. Together, we can restore our constitutional republic, and oust the mountebanks who violate the ideals of the Founders with income taxes, Federal Reserve inflation, deficit spending, preemptive wars, torture, secret prisons, and abolition of habeas corpus.

How thrilling too are all the great Independent efforts in this cause, involving so many tens of thousands of patriots. Of course, since they are Independent, the election laws to do not allow me to coordinate with them in any way. But I will mention that this Sunday, I am really going to enjoy my tea at a party!

We are making real progress. And goodness knows we need to. Help https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/ me keep our revolution going and growing. For freedom, peace, and prosperity, for the real America, all our
generosity and hard work are justified.

Sincerely,

Ron

Ron reads the forums.

My post from the 29th of November..


OK.. Beck is a bibulous babbling blowhard, a pyroclastic fumarole of incendiary rhetoric, an ascerbic and obsequious bootlicker of the Oligarchs, a propounder of borborygmic rumblings decorated as jingoist sloganeering truthisms...an all around fool and mountebank..Sooooo..yeah..Ron should go on with the caveat that if this asshat of a bozo the drooldonkey gets out of line or tries some underhanded crap, passive aggressive smarm or blatant agitprop misdirection or interrupting unfinished dialog, that the hammer of doom is gonna fall hard. Be nice,,be reasonable and be human and he will do fine.

Nah, if he'd read your post, it definitely would have been "hammer the drooldonkeys." :)

If he EVER says "drooldonkey" then there is no doubt he reads these forums and gets ideas from the posts. I am sure once he logged on he would be addicted:D
