2012 Hypothetical Match Up ... Barrack Obama 42%, Ron Paul 41%

 By: Les Carpenter III
Rational Nation USA




Rasmussen just released  the results of a hypothetical match up between the current POTUS and  Ron Paul. The results should encourage and energize conservatives, libertarians, and independents, as well as all liberty minded individuals throughout our Great Nation! The hypothetical (and scientific) poll has it a virtual dead heat. Given Obama's sliding poll numbers who knows what could be if Paul decides to make another run.

Congressman Paul, in addition to being a medical doctor and U. S. Congressman, is knowledgeable in Austrian economics, is a true free market capitalist (as in laissez faire), and understands that while our nation must retain a strong national defense it must, out of economic necessity discontinue our foreign intervention in the affairs of other sovereign nations across the globe. For a powerful and rational argument one should read his book, "The Revolution. A Manifesto."

On the one hand we have a starry eyed community organizer with no real experience and a strong desire to force his radical agenda down America's throat, and in the process destroy our economy. On the other we have an individual that recognizes that freedom and the liberty to chose is what made our nation great. He believes in the greatness of the American people... not the greatness of a government bureaucracy.

    I love it! Ron Paul is what we need right now. Will some republican candidate come out and try to imitate him?

    There's the rub. Some republican cadidate will probably try to imitate him all the while for their own politicl gain... having litle to no intention of actually ever doing anything should they get elected.

    Watching the republican party slowly imploding is almost comical were it not so sad.

    Very heartening to read this. We can hope. Alone among politicians, (at least in my observance) Paul delivers the same message no matter what type of gathering he is speaking at. That alone speaks volumes.

    However, I would strongly disagree with one aspect of your post, that Obama is in any way radical. He seems to follow the dictum of "speak one way, do another" so he will say things which appeal to his liberal supporters while his directed policy is completely centrist or even center right.

    Bernanke,Geithner and Hank Paulson-Republicans all-could not have scripted more finance/insurance friendly policy than Obama.

    Back on topic, it may be a matter of matchups. Like Ali vs Foreman vs Norton.Matchups.

    I'd read polls showing Obama easily defeating any of the other Republican contenders;Paul was specifically excluded. He is the only Republican who can also appeal to liberals such as myself, and seems to also have appeal across the conservative spectrum.

    Oso - We are in agreement.With the exception of Obama.

    I won't get off topic and will save my thought on this for anlther day.

    Other than to say... Obama to fully succeed in pushing and implementing his radical philosophy REQUIRES that he have the financal shakers and movers in his corner. It is only a matter of time my friend and we will all see how radical his agenda really is.

    What is sad is that a man like Ron Paul will likely never have the oppurtunity to unite liberals like yourself and conservatives like myself in a united front to attack the prblem that will, in the end bring down this great nation.

    If you haven't read Ron Paul's book yet do yourself the pleasure of doing so.

    Thanks for stopping in again Oso, you're alwas welcome here.

    I'm a big Ron Paul fan. If he runs I would feel honored to vote for him.

    TRESTIN - Lets hope Congressmen Paul, or someone with his honesty, integrity,understanding of the Constitution, and true conservative values runs for the office of the president.

    2012 may very well be our last best hope for the America our founding fathers passed on to us.

Wisconsin Billboard Advocating the POTUS be Impeached

I admit it... there are many philosophical, governmental, business, and ethical issues on which the POTUS and me would strongly disagree. I would be being less than honest if I claimed I didn't wish the POTUS were a different individual. One whose governing practices and philosophy of government more closely resembled that of Founding Fathers and responsible independent modern conservatives. The reality is however just this. The people of the United States elected this man to the highest office in the land for four years. He has served as POTUS for just over one year and we are seeing Impeach Obama signs on a major highway in Wisconsin. Obviously somebody in Wisconsin certainly does not like this POTUS very much. The unnamed company, presumably a small one, has paid to have the billboard displayed for six months at one thousand dollars a month. I am sure those collecting the six thousand dollars and the sign company are all to happy to collect...

Ron Paul Is Not Wrong... It Is Time We Begin To Understand The Motivations Of Extreme Islamists

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Libe rty -vs- Tyra nny Rep. Ron Paul - Republican Presidential Candidate I read with great interest Ron Paul's recent statements in Iowa with respect to the 911 attacks on America by Islamic extremists and their primary motivation. Nowhere in candidate Paul's statement did I see where he justified the attacks that resulted in the death of 3,000 plus Americans. What I did read was a rational analysis of what motivated the attackers and why they were so motivated. Call it thinking outside the confines of a restricted and often myopic view of reality. In other words Paul is saying first seek to understand the motivations of a dangerous extremist group and then seek to effect ways to change their reality. IE: Perception. Because perception is reality to all people who perceive. Those who perpetrated the 911 attacks on America were monsters, and they deserved to face a full and justified...

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

The Ignorance and Arrogance of Obama...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In my opinion the President, in his attack on the United States Supreme court belies both his basic ignorance of our republic as well as his arrogance. His last uttering in and of itself is enough to deny the man, and I use the term loosely in this case, another term as President. Forgive me my rational liberal friends but his recent statement is more telling of his statist leanings than anything he has heretofore said. With this last he has proven beyond any doubt he is indeed clueless. The Washington Post - There was something rather unsettling in President Obama’s preemptive strike on the Supreme Court at Monday’s news conference. “I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama said. “Well, here’s a ...

From: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Time to shed the right -vs- left, socialism -vs- capitalism hyperbole and purchase Thomas Piketty's new book " Capital in the Twenty-First Century. " PARIS — Thomas Piketty turned 18 in 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, so he was spared the tortured, decades-long French intellectual debate about the virtues and vices of communism. Even more telling, he remembers, was a trip he took with a close friend to Romania in early 1990, after the collapse of the Soviet empire. “This sort of vaccinated me for life against lazy, anticapitalist rhetoric, because when you see these empty shops, you see these people queuing for nothing in the street,” he said, “it became clear to me that we need private property and market institutions, not just for economic efficiency but for personal freedom.” (emphasis mine) But his disenchantment with communism doesn’t mean that Mr. Piketty has turned his back on the intellectual ...

As the Liberal/Progressive Media and Blogosphere Attempt To Destroy Governor Chris Christie...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth As the liberal/progressive media and bloggers attempt to trash Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey over the George Washington Bridge lane closings, ostensibly because he is a formidable threat to their darling would be 2016 democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton, there remains NO EVIDENCE he had any involvement or was aware of the actions by his underlings. If Governor Christie indeed had no involvement in the closings, and at this point is is prudent to assume he didn't, the valid question is... should he have known? If we believe an executive sets the tone and culture for his administration then indeed the actions of his loyal staff at least become somewhat understandable. Wrong, but understandable. From NorthJersey.com Nothing in the approximately 2,000 documents released on Friday by the Assembly committee investigating the matter suggest that Christie knew of the lane-closure scheme beforeh...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late.
