The war hawks are circling the wagons. That's good news for Ron Paul - Kissinger is NOT exactly welcome into most peoples' households.

(the girl in the beret is hot!... but stupid... (raspberry beret the kind you find in a second hand store-prince))

I think what gets me is where I was and what I was doing in July 1988.
I was going to be a senor in High School and had never looked in to politics.
My senor year I had a political science class (no we never covered the constitution) and we did some polling of the middle school. I was all about Ronald Reagan. Never heard of Ron Paul. I thought the drug war was good.

I have to thank the Internet for deprogramming my New York State education. Confused

For 20 Years, that I can actually remember, Ron Paul has been fighting the good fight. I guess it gives me a perspective on how in the dark many U. S. Citizens are today, and I was at the end of my state sponsored education.

Look, thanks for your history of your political awareness. While I never thought the drug war was good (I smoked a lot of pot in my youth), I always thought that we were doing the right thing as far as going to other countries and kicking their commie asses (regardless of whether they were actual "commies" or not).

We refer to one's early education as "IYAVOPS" (If you're a victim of public school).

I will remember that ... "IYAVOPS"

I think my education is a great argument for home schooling.

I had a friend who's parents let him go to public school but he got his education after school. I was in awe of his father and secretly wished I could be taught to. Just did a quick search and he was easy to find.

Dr. Ting, 30, is an internist at North Central Bronx Hospital. In July he will become a fellow in pulmonary and critical care medicine at the Harvard University Medical Center, a hospital network in Boston. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his medical degree from the State University Health Science Center at Brooklyn.

This is from a few years back, I also found many papers he has written since he got out of school.

I hear lots of success stories about that. I think it does come down to parents taking back the responsibility of educating their children. Too many of them just send the little kiddies off to the indoctrination camps and have no idea what they're learning/not learning, and more frightening, could care less.

I've met a few homeschooled kids and they are some of the smartest people I know - in fact, most seem to like Ron Paul. Imagine that!

Just saw this post had to share.

Dear Drudge,
On December 20th, 2007 Phat says:

Something is wrong with your web site... You're only mentioning Clinton twice and Hillary twice. Once more, there are no photos of Hillary Clinton. Please correct ASAP.

Thank you,

Bill

I would also add that he mentioned Ron Paul at least twice this week!! MUST BE something wrong.

The Official Media Guide to Attacking Ron Paul

We in the main stream media all know that Ron Paul cannot win the presidency because of his extremist views. Given this fact, it is important we don’t allow him the same media coverage as our preferred candidates. It is true that we must give him some coverage, but it is also true that we must adhere to the “Mass Media Ron Paul Rule” when giving him coverage during this campaign season. Generally, the “Mass Media Ron Paul Rule” can be summed up in two words:

Marginalize him.

Here are some wonderful tactics to utilize when applying the “Mass Media Ron Paul Rule:

Continually label him as a long shot candidate. This is the most important of all the tactics so we list it first. Sure, it is true that Ron Paul has won or placed high in many straw polls across the country but we must never mention it. Instead, in every article or television news story copy we should use one or more of the terms “dark horse”, “long shot”, “barely registering in the polls”, “quixotic”, or “gadfly”. If we can do this consistently, our job is complete.

Attack his supporters. Ron Paul has a stellar personal record with his marriage of over 50 years, 5 children, and 18 grandchildren. His political record is also exemplary with him never voting to raise taxes and always voting in accordance with the Constitution. Because of this, attacking him on his record is a daunting task. The best method to marginalize him is to attack his supporters. This can be accomplished by calling his supporters names like “kooky”, “crazy”, “conspiracy nutjobs”, “paultards”, and the like. This is classic “guilt by association” and works well on the apathetic electorate.

Call him “Libertarian” as much as possible. Continually giving him the libertarian label is a great covert method of Ron Paul marginalization. This reinforces that he’s not really a Republican even though he has held office as a Republican for 10 terms. We find that if you are in radio or television you may even say the word “libertarian” using a negative tone during questions. This perpetuates the extremism inherent in Ron Paul’s policies even though the word libertarian simply means: one who believes in liberty.

Continually ask him if he’s planning on running as a third party candidate. This tactic should be used often. It accomplishes two things. First, it suggests that he is not a serious candidate for the Republican party. Second, it will get him on record as saying he won’t run for a third party. If he should happen to run third party at a later date he can be attacked for changing his position.

Ask him if he would support the GOP nominee if he doesn’t win. Ron Paul is against the Iraq war and wishes to bring the troops home from overseas in order to help stem the tide of government overspending. This makes him different than all of the other Republican candidates who support keeping our troops overseas indefinitely. As media we must make all attempts to not only marginalize his candidacy, but also marginalize his steadfast message of linking the cost of the war on terror to our economic woes here at home.

Focus on his campaign strategy rather than his message. Ron Paul’s message of freedom, prosperity, and peace should be overshadowed by talk of his successful grassroots campaign. The more we focus on how he raises money and the types of supporters he has, the less time he has to talk about his message that is sure to resonate with most Americans. We must make all attempts to block or cloud that message. If it were to get out, it could spell doom for our chosen candidates.

Attack him for not returning donations from fringe supporters. White supremacists and prostitutes have donated money to Ron Paul and that is bad. We can use our political correctness and superior morality as a weapon and ask him why does he not return that donation money. After all a white supremacist would do more good with having an extra $500 in his pocket than a doctor who has delivered over 4000 babies while preaching peace and equal rights for everyone.

Abolishing the IRS is crazy. Attacking his stance on abolishing the IRS and replacing it with nothing is also effective. After all most Americans don’t know that we could do without the income tax if we just went back to the same level of government spending that we had in the 1990’s. A great method is to reply to his answer with an incredulous “replace it with NOTHING? How can the government function?” comment. This tactic will scare people into believing in how the government always has our best interests at heart. It will help people ignore the fact that Ron Paul also wants to cut government spending drastically in order to balance the budget.

Label him an isolationist for his foreign policy views. Since he wants to bring our troops home from not just Iraq, but all of the 700 other occupied countries he should be deemed an isolationist. It doesn’t matter that Ron Paul wants free trade and travel with other countries and thus is not truly an isolationist. The people will believe what we tell them to believe.

This directive gives us several tactics to be used in the fight against Ron Paul’s candidacy for president. We should use them all and use them often. After all Ron Paul’s message of freedom, prosperity, and peace is antiquated and has no place in our authoritarian world.

Sincerely,
The Main Stream Media Czar

I emailed "the List"

Here is an interesting poll .. more in the response than in the actual poll.
What should Ron Paul do with a contribution from a white supremacist?

What I find interesting is how much attention it is getting from DC.

This is a non-issue. I want to see ALL candidates vet their donors and give back all campaign money to any racist person. My guess is they would all go broke. This $500 contribution is the best they can do to attack Ron Paul.
