How long are you going to keep whining?
Could you ask your heart to tell us how Ron influenced Trump? Sure is not on foreign or domestic policy. Surley not on economics or individual liberty. I'm at a loss for what is left?Quote:

Don't be afraid to spit out the piss water once it finally hits your tongue. No doubt you've seen videos of Trump himself disproving your first point. JBS, although I don't know enough about them to be to critical, were saying 'The Russians are coming' well before the media made it cool. I'll believe that we'll have non-minipulated interest rates the day I see it. And what sense does it make to attribute Trump's support for MM to Ron when there are so many advocacy groups towards that end, where Ron was calling for an end to the prohibition of all drugs.Quote:

This isn't Bush vs. Kerry or Obama vs. McCain where we have two establishment stooges - we actually have a guy who might wanna fight for us for once, even if he doesn't have a perfect grasp of how to fix things it is a better vision than where we were headed with Hillary.Quote:

JBS was right about the communists, and back then the communists ruled Russia. Russia is no longer under control of the communists. The communists now control our country and the NWO. So it makes sense that the communists in this country who control the media now attack Russia.Quote:

I wad going to say the same thing. JBS is anti commie.
Lol, Mordan back insulting Ron and Rand and crying about how he is treated by forums members of RON PAUL/RAND PAUL FORUMS. :rolleyes:
He insulted Ron and Rand in this thread?Quote:

It's no surprise that they each had to give up some essential tenants of liberty, Trump more-so than Rand, to get there - but at least they are pushing us in the right direction. Because like I said we really need both, and we need to not throw everybody under the bus who isn't totally pure unless they are a stooges for the establishment.
I promise I'll hold Trump's feet to the fire if and when he makes mistakes, but there is a difference between holding someone's feet to the fire and throwing them under the bus. If Trump is just a puppet of the elite trying to fool us into thinking he is anti-establishment, then fuck man, that sucks.. I admit it's a possibility. But if he is actually anti-establishment, he could make some major improvements to the system that we wouldn't have seen otherwise that could lead to a more free and prosperous life for everyone. I'm not ready to throw him under the bus yet. I expect he won't do everything I want him to do and I expect to have some disagreements.
Mordan is full of shit, and trying to stir it.Quote:

Trump is doing most of the things he does for Media Attention and Projection.
Is he going to praise Rand for losing?
I disagree with Trump on drugs, but I am not expecting a 69 old geezer who never drinks to understand the nuanced issues.
I disagree with purism because nothing is black and white. Even Liberty. There are always gray areas.
It's funny you bring up grey areas when you don't seem to notice the grey area between Trump boot licking and purism.Quote:

If he does stand for liberty I will be all for it, I just don't see it happening.Quote:

And that progessivist protectionism is worse than progressivitst managed trade, which I'll admit are the same thing, expect in rhetoric which on one hand speaks unfavorably of foreign trade (protectionism) and the other positively of foreign trade. There was general consensus that Trump would be better on taxes and regulation. But that is small beans when compared to the prospects of a great number of individuals being uprooted and deported by the state. If you had actually engaged us during the election you would not be patting yourself on the back about things like school choice. And, if you will listen to the rhetoric coming out of Israel and from the militarists, you will see a picture being painted that Trump is very much a reconciliation of the Israel first and pro-US imperialist. It is rumored the Muslim Brotherhood will be labeled by the Trump administration as terrorist.... a group that had an elected president of Egypt not long ago! I wonder if the CIA will covertly keep them down?.... Just think, we just had a president that removed Hezbollah and Iran from the terrorist list, I find little doubt they will be added back based the rhetoric from Trump and those around him, plus more, and I am not supposed to make some connection between Trump and past militarism/neo-con establishment? What entangling alliance is it that gets us in most of our trouble in the middle east?Quote:

Specifically I was mentioning the video of Trump favorably speaking of bombing Libya. It is irrelevant at this point though. What is important is the more current. Only once he gets in will the story reveal itself, but I do think you are ignoring a lot of current warning signs in favor of cheering on school choice and the like.
I can't say they are wrong, but JBS this year accused Russia as being behind the Texas shooting where the officers were gunned down. You guys would go ape shit if they did that today.Quote:

But he wants to annihilate ISIS that NATO created, imprison whistle blowers, obstruct free trade, spend taxpayer resources on a useless war machine, and imprison certain types of free speech.Quote:

I'm actually an open borders guy (if we had a free market) and I was initially very much against Trump due to his immigration stance. But then I looked at the facts and the evidence and realized that if we want to destroy this country and turn it into a socialist hell hole by bringing in more leftist voters who are totally dependent on government, then we should elect Hillary.
I still don't like the idea of deportation, and I hope Trump doesn't deport any peaceful individuals who haven't committed any crimes.. but you have to realize the amount of force being used against the native population in the form of slavery and taxes due to immigration, especially in the longrun as our country would have adopted more leftist policies is much greater than the amount of force that would be required to deport some illegal immigrants and build a wall. We can talk about open immigration when we end the welfare state. Until then we are basically giving every immigrant a gun and allowing them to come in and rob citizens of their wealth. That is not something libertarians should necessarily support.
