Ron Paul is a true man of honor.
If he won I'd have faith that this country would be ok; since he didn't, I know we're all screwed.
The masses are brainwashed, so of course, they just don't get it.

The U.S. was pretty much libertarian until 1900 or so. Especially out west.

Rhode Island was when founded by Europeans.

There are several examples of economic libertarian countries.

Ireland had no government to speak of for 400 years or so and was the most advanced country in Europe at the time.

Then you have Zomia which is more anarchial but the people there seem to be fine.

Much of Western Europe had very weak governments during the Middle Ages.

More people have lived outside of central government control than have lived in it.

This is all off the top of my head. There are plenty more, this list is by no means exhaustive. I'm sure you have Google.

Agreed, again.
Thanks that makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one.

It's not his politics that is so dangerous. He is just another right-wing nut-job, like what we have been suffering under for most of the last 33 years.

It's just him. He's a wanabe dictator. There is something seriously messed up about a man who creates a home-school curriculum, designed to brainwash little children into believing in his political ideology. That gives him all the markings of a cult leader. I think this guy has potential to be the most dangerous American who has ever lived.

I'd feel the same way if he was a left-wing liberal Democrat, doing what he is doing.

Politicians in general should stay out of putting forth curricula, and I say this as a Ron Paul fan and also as a mom who will be homeschooling. There's already a ton of curricula out there to choose from, and most is pretty conservative and sticks to the facts, not this progressive crap we have being taught in schools these days.

You obviously don't know Ron Paul if you believe that crap.

Well I've read quite a bit about him. Why don't you tell me what you think I'm missing.

I don't see liberals creating home-school curriculums to indoctrinate their kids into their political beliefs. The entire situation sounds to me like mind control.

This is the all time dumbest thing I have ever read on C-D.

Lmao, obviously you could use a real education.....I urge you to get the Ron Paul Homeschooling program, & stop embarrassing yourself.
