The strategy for the Freedom Riders back in 1961 was to ride through the deep south and to attempt to attract publicity while getting their heads bashed in.

Re: Obama Supporters?
Surely we are not yet blaming Obama for the fall 2008, prior to either his election or his inauguration financial bailouts?

No, did you think I was?
I did not think that. I suppose I could have found a different place to attach my comment...

Re: Obama Supporters?
Onifre, I'm sure you have great reasons to support Ron Paul, but your analysis seems a bit off when you attempt to predict how others should vote.
That's a fair point. But he has also stated that it's not the job of the federal government to legalize or ban abortion. Instead, it is up to the individual states to prohibit abortion.
So I don't see how his personal views on abortion could become an issue.
Given that a fair number of states would immediately ban abortion if Roe v. Wade were overturned, and that only the federal courts stand in the way of this, I think your argument is a bit simplistic. Ron Paul wants to remove jurisdiction over the issue completely from the federal courts.
RP feels the same way about separation of state and church issues and he felt the same way about the civil rights act of 1964 even while states were actively practicing discrimination. Look at the way Texas and Virginia fool around with history textbooks and imagine that same kind of Monkey business going on with kid's science text books. That's life as Ron Paul would have it.
So yes, Ron Paul's opinion on abortion ought to matter.
He is against the No Child Left Behind policy that was federally funded.
Does No Child Left Behind seem to you to be a major OWS issue? Wouldn't OWS members be a bit more concerned about what would happen to school loans and other college funding programs under RP?
Removing the EPA so we can burn more coal? A right to work policy in which the only important action is union busting? OWS ought to like that, eh?
How might OWS guys feel about health care?
Seriously, Onifire. You cannot think of a single legitimate reason why an OWS participant might think Ron Paul is a bad choice?
Had he known, as many law makers have now stated, the way the bill would play out, he along with many others, would not have voted for it.
Sure Onifre. And what party is it that has opposed every attempt to add any new regulations to the banking industry? Would McCain have been a stronger advocate for regulating the banking industry than the people we did elect? McCain was about the last person on earth to even acknowledge that there was any kind of economic crisis. His Iraq plan was to stay the course indefinitely. Who knows what kind of president McCain would have made?

Re: trickle down is a joke

But trickle-down did NOT occur, failure occurred, and the failure shot from the bottom to the top in DAYS, demonstrating that the economy is based on and dependent on the BASE, not the top.
Apparently, there is no longer any pretense that the myth of trickle-down (voodoo) economics ever had any basis in fact.
According to the leading candidate for Obama's house, people who want to discuss the increasing income gap between the rich and the middle class (outside of quite rooms) are simply envious, and perhaps sinfully covetous of their rich brethern. The other Republican candidates are being encourage to stop pointing out problems with Romney's work at Bain because doing so is bad for the Republican party.
Romney, Gingrich tangle over ads in South Carolina | Fox News
quote:
Republican New York Rep. Michael Grimm also released a statement saying the attacks would have a "negative effect on the party."
"When GOP candidates, especially those who identify themselves as conservatives, use phrases like 'vulture capitalism' or adopt leftist rhetoric, they are jeopardizing the strength and unity of the party," he said.
There's no need to make this stuff up.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. The proper place to-day, the only place which Massachusetts has provided for her freer and less desponding spirits, is in her prisons, to be put out and locked out of the State by her own act, as they have already put themselves out by their principles. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
