    Is it possible that Donald Trump is actually a stealth Ron Paul supporter working behind the scenes to increase liberty?

    @dannno
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    "Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul

    "Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

    Douthat is a regular blogger and columnist for The New York Times.[10] In April 2009, he became the youngest regular op-ed writer in The New York Times after replacing Bill Kristol as a conservative voice on the Times editorial page.
    Cheney for President
    Ross Douthat APRIL 27, 2009

    Watching Dick Cheney defend the Bush administration’s interrogation policies, it’s been hard to escape the impression that both the Republican Party and the country would be better off today if Cheney, rather than John McCain, had been a candidate for president in 2008.

    At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

    The government has engaged in identity theft and run up debt in my name.

    WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR IT?

    If nobody wants to loan our government money anymore that would be a GOOD thing.

    Don't forget that in DC-speak, a "cut" is not a reduction - it is an increase that is not as large as originally intended ...
