Ron Paul: Police response worse than bombings

[tyrajam]

Expect him to be either crucified or ignored for this. It seems insensitive, but do you think he's right? The bombing was tragic for those involved, but I guess only one of the events has the possibility of hurting America in the long run.

The title is misleading... it suggests that Ron is diminishing the severity of the bombings; which he isn't. He isn't comparing two single incidents but rather weighing the affects of "The Police State and Foreign Terrorism" and theorizing which one will affect the country more in the long run.

What he does say is:
“This unprecedented move [of militarily occupying Boston] should frighten us as much or more than the attack itself.”

...of which I would agree with him. The police state is much more threatening to the American lifestyle than terrorism.

 

[Carmelbythecorn]

I think all the surveillance apparatus also has shown that it is not for prevention as was promised but rather for after the fact prosecution and the furthering of the police state.

 

[johnny45]

Do I think Paul is correct?

Yes.

The state has done more to erode individual liberty in the republic than has any terrorist.

 

[richieray]

He is absolutely right. Terrorism is scary but the size and methods of our government in much scarier

 

[Kirkd]

I was quite disturbed by the warrant less searches of private citizens. Seemed to be a show of force by the police. It demonstrated why we need our second amendment!

And he was tossed aside in the primary for a warmonger.

 

[TheReaper]

I didn't know that there was anyone out there that still listened to what Ron Paul had to say?

 

[johnny45]

And he was tossed aside in the primary for a warmonger.

"The republicans have to win to effect change."

"You have to have a candidate with broad appeal to win."

"A vote for Paul is a vote for barry."

You know the bleating, er, saying.

 

[Trigger Time]

I agree with him

Totally agree with you on this. Problem is sometimes Ron Paul is just well Ron Paul. This is the exact type of thing I brought up during the campaign, while he might be right his mouth gets him in trouble. Why would he even feel the need to comment on this?

Pointing out perceived violations of liberty is his pet project, or maybe even his life's passion; his runs for PotUS were likely more about this than actually trying to win.

Perhaps, but there have been plenty of people in history who were right regardless of the fact they were largely ignored by those around them.

This. Title is misleading, I agree.

Ron Paul, he is very right.

[/FONT] Liberty Was Also Attacked in Boston by Ron Paul

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Forced lockdown of a city. Militarized police riding tanks in the streets. Door-to-door armed searches without warrant. Families thrown out of their homes at gunpoint to be searched without probable cause. Businesses forced to close. Transport shut down.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]These were not the scenes from a military coup in a far off banana republic, but rather the scenes just over a week ago in Boston as the United States got a taste of martial law. The ostensible reason for the military-style takeover of parts of Boston was that the accused perpetrator of a horrific crime was on the loose. The Boston bombing provided the opportunity for the government to turn what should have been a police investigation into a military-style occupation of an American city. This unprecedented move should frighten us as much or more than the attack itself.[/FONT]

Here is an even crazier one for, "you have to get the most votes to win an election."*






* Except in electoral college situation.

* Except in electoral college situation.

Even then, you still have to get the majority of those votes too

 

[johnny45]

I will continue to vote for Liberty.

 

[hornadylnl]

I will continue to vote for Liberty.

A vote for McCain is a vote for Obama.

 

[johnny45]

LOL!

Neither was a vote for Liberty, just as neither barry or mittens was a vote for Liberty.
