Always thought Ron Paul was a pretty sensible bloke till I saw this thinly veiled attack on the Democrats universal health care proposal.

I recon he has lost a lot of credibility with this one.

Ron Paul is making more sense every day.
Excellent question why those little pickinnies haven't had their shots...

because about 1/3 of what he says is insane.

**Muadib** · 28-10-2009, 07:55 PM

^ Please elaborate...

**raycarey** · 28-10-2009, 08:02 PM

where to begin....how about that he wants to abolish the department of education?

**Muadib** · 28-10-2009, 08:47 PM

^ Are you sure of that???

Ron Paul on Education

Ron Paul on the Issues

The Dept of Education is yet another bloated federal program that serves no purpose when state & local governments mandate the programs & policies of school districts... There are no federal standards / mandates which state & local governments must adhere to with respect to educational programs for America's youth...

All the DOE does is dole out federal funding to state & local school systems based on demographics and census data, along with managing student loan programs... You don't need 4,200 people for this task...

From the DOE's own website:

About ED - ED.gov

ED was created in 1980 by combining offices from several federal agencies. ED's mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. ED's 4,200 employees and $68.6 billion budget are dedicated to:

• Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education, and distributing as well as monitoring those funds.
• Collecting data on America's schools and disseminating research.
• Focusing national attention on key educational issues.
• Prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access to education.

I just knew one of the usual suspects would come along, maw wide open, and willingly and readily swallow this one whole - hook, line and sinker.

I guess that's the end result when you are used to being told what to think and take your cues from blogs and Faux News rather than engaging your own critical faculties.

How's it feel to be hooked, reeled on board, gutted, taken home, stuffed and then finally mounted for display above the mantel Booners.

Jesus H. Christ on a Cross!

How 'bout a little objectivity here ant? When the report first came out, BO's luk sow's had not had their shots - fair game, eh? So, now they have - big deal. A far cry from hooked, gutted, hoisted etc!

**AntRobertson** · 29-10-2009, 06:27 PM

Look who's talking!

Booners you believed this for the same reason you believed that Obama was a Muslim; that he wasn't qualifed to be POTUS by birth; that the healthcare reform Bill contained 'death panels'; and every other rumour, innuendo and claim posited about Obama and the Democrats on right-wing blogs.

And that reason is that you want it to be true, Booners. You want it so bad that you'll suspend all objectivity, rational and independent query just so that you can. P.T Barnum had a saying for people like you.

Actually, I've never believed BO was or is a Muslim. There is still an off-chance he isn't a natural-born American tho. The health-care 'reforms' did include 'death panels' until recently when BO and crowd found out it wasn't going to go over too well.

Let me illuminate this one major point for you - BO is an anti-freee-market Marxist-leaning liberal. So, it's natural to readily assume the worst regarding the fellow. He is a disaster for America and elsewhere - jing, jing. Come on 2012!

How about getting rid of the Department of Education and Department of Agriculture. Just go down the list. Get rid of it. Cut the budget in half. Everything that’s not constitutional. That’s a good place to start.

See, told you.

Everything you've stated in that paragraph is either incorrect and/or has no basis in reality. The thing with the death panels for instance; that was repeatedly shown to be false, even pointed out to you specifically, and yet you still choose to believe it. And Obama being Muslim, you actively argued that across several threads and for some time on here. Yet now you'd have me believe you never believed it - when was the lie, then or now?

I think there's some sort of formal term for such a thing; where someone becomes so invested in believing something that they will actively ignore all objective evidence and fact to the contrary - confirmation bias or something like that? Can't really remember.

Suffice to say, whatever it's called, I think it's best summed up by simply saying... None so blind as those that don't want to see, eh Booners.

That's my line for RA & sundry. 99% sure I was the first to use it on this forum (but really cannot be arsed to look back) and it has been borrowed ever since. Heh...imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, eh?

Anyhow, getting back to the point - actually believe you engage American Conservatives on this forum only as mild form of 'intellectual' entertainment. You, personally, do not have a dog in these fights whereas with RA for example, we get right up his nose!

**AntRobertson** · 29-10-2009, 06:55 PM

Flip, flop... flip, flop...

That hook wedged pretty good eh Booners. Don't worry though, gasping for air as you are, it'll all be over soon.

Don't know why I bother...but I'll bet you a sum of money or other goods (bartering is getting more popular these days) that you cannot find a post anywhere where I've categorically claimed BO to be a Muslim. Never happened which is further proof that you, as a left-leaning liberal, make stuff up...

Anyone here had their bird flu shots yet?

Not me. Seems like it hits those >60 and <25...

**raycarey** · 29-10-2009, 08:37 PM

so this thread was started yesterday, right?

well.....

President Barack Obama's daughters, Malia and Sasha, have received their swine flu shots.

The White House announced on its Web site Tuesday that Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, got the shots from a White House doctor last week.

The doctor, who was not identified, applied for and received the vaccine from the city's health department "using the same process as every other vaccination site in the District" of Columbia

are you new here?

that's their MO...

they read something completely outrageous on a rabid right wing blog, and then copy and paste and paste it here. they don't stop to think about how absurd it is, because they desperately want it to be true.
when the claim is inevitably debunked by facts, they attempt to distract or simply ignore that they've been shamed.

it's similar to how limbaugh embarrassed himself earlier this week....he ran with that absurd obama thesis story...and when someone finally tipped him off that he'd been punked, he more or less said, "so what, even though obama didn't write, i know he believes it".

but perhaps i'm being too kind..... it could easily be argued that they know these absurd claims are not true, but they don't care. they're simply spreading lies.
i know it's true in some cases.
