Ron Paul is No Savior: doesn’t care for workers rights or poor

For Aura Bogoda:

Accepting forms of payment to write articles that smear another’s character is a sign of emotional immaturity. Your character is weak and you are not a mature adult who gives back to society. You are the emotional equivalent of a child. Please refrain from writing until you mature enough to write something that gives back to society.

It is my sincere hope that you one day realize the importance of giving back to society in a positive way. Please use your writing talent in a positive way. Life is short. Make the most of it.

Doesn’t believe in workers rights for the poor?
Why would he do away with the personal income tax and allow poor workers to keep 20% more of their income? Why would he allow competing currencies so that workers wouldn’t be forced to be paid with the worthless dollar? Ron Paul stands up for poor workers in a very intelligent manner. I am ashamed that some of my fellow human beings would be so dishonest about his views in an attempt to make him look bad to the very people he would be helping.

Also, Ron Paul is pro-choice. Women have the choice to get pregnant. There are a number of birth control methods out there for women who want to take a chance and make the choice to have sex. Once that life is created, which happens at conception not when then doctor delivers it, it is murder to destroy that life intentionally.

Actually, Dr. Paul backs the GOA, Gun Owners of America, not the NRA. The NRA leads the charge FOR gun control. If the writer knew anything of research, this would have been apparent.
It’s hard to read the whole thing, filled with nonsense and basically, it attempts to bash Ron Paul for being American and adhering to the Constitution. Doing a quick search, it’s written by a socialist, feminist, trying desperately to get noticed to no avail thus far.

If Ron Paul does not care about the poor and the workers, then how do you explain his stance against inflation. It doesn’t take much research to understand that an inflationary monetary policy is the equivelent of nuclear war against the poor. He is the only candidate I have heard mention this. Meanwhile, gas and food continue to skyrocket and life gets a little harder for the poor.

The “fight” stage has begun. Expect the smears to keep coming, and increase in their regularity.

This is journalistic cowardice. If you want to smear someone, don’t do it by acting as though you support him, but pointing out someone else’s dirty-work and giving a negative headline. Do you think we are blind? Besides, it is lazy to simply write about another story and point to it, as though that is actually doing something productive or creative.

Please, if you do support Dr. Paul, perhaps you will think twice about how you go about covering him, or anything else, for that matter. Think before you type.

I didn’t think this was a smear – people really don’t understand how our government is supposed to work.

Two points:

1. Think of you home state (us U.S. people) – Pennsylvania is mine – think of your state as your country. That is the highest level 99% of your ‘government’ should go. The U.S. Constitution is a very small document – and does not provide great powers to the federal government.

You want welfare and heavy regulations – tell your state senators (etc.).

This is an awesome thing! You want to smoke dope and have high (!) welfare – move to the state that provides that lifestyle… You want tanks and submachine guns – there might be a state for you. At a more local level – your voice has greater weight.

2. Take Ron’s online phenom… Some people really love this guy – very passionate. You want to send foriegn aid to another country? Start an organization – if your message and cause are ‘good’ – your organization can work wonders. WE DO NOT NEED GEORGE BUSH, RUDY, or HILLARY stealing our money (taxes) – and using them ‘as they see fit.’

This way, you don’t fund thing that you oppose. Don’t dig Israel? – Don’t send them your cash.

Think about how much more money would get to where you want it to go!

Take a lesson from Ron Paul’s message and his supporters… the web provides support for even honest endevours.

Take Ron’s passionate

Aura Bogoda is obviously very confused and loves- rather than to do some independent investigation- to rely on stereotypes by lumping everyone into the same neat little “red box” our current broken sociopolitical dialogue has provided her/him/it with.

- “Ron Paul is a free market capitalist who doesn’t care for the rights of workers or the poor”
Ah yes…can we say “paradox?” In a free market, anything you work for is YOURS. As in, YOURS 100% and not the government’s. Going from such a position Im not sure how one could be any more “pro-worker,” unless they were pro-union as well…oops, thats right- Paul IS. Are we to assume then, that the other candidates (literally ALL of them, since Paul seems to be the only one pointing out our $9 trillion debt and has never voted for an unbalanced budget in his life…something the others cant say) who have consistently voted for unbalanced budgets and raided the Social Security and Medicare funds are somehow more “for the poor” than Paul is? A little common sense and consideration of FACT as opposed to the flowery rhetoric full of promises the country knows it cant afford would help Aura greatly here.

- “he is a gun-loving friend of the NRA”
Yep. So were Washington, Jefferson, and the rest of the founding fathers. It seems Aura is one of those who believes that guns cause crime by themselves and ignores the glaring fact that criminals who use guns in their crimes dont register for it at Walmart and wait 2 weeks before they hold up a liquor store or point it at you and tell you to get out of your car. It seems that Aura is also unaware of the fact that the American citizens’ right to keep and bear guns arms the public on a basic level and renders them capable of ultimately defending themselves against ANY threats foreign OR DOMESTIC. To reiterate Paul’s point, had airline pilots been allowed to carry guns to protect their passengers and equipment if necessary, might 911 have been prevented? To raise another point- if all of Germany and Poland’s citizens had been allowed to keep guns in their homes for their defense as they saw fit, would the Nazis’ liquidations of neighborhoods door to door been so easy? Why was Switzerland left alone?

- “that a woman’s right to choose should be crushed”
“CHOOSE” what exactly, you coward? Im sick of this; if youre pro-abortion then grow a spine and say so then back up your opinion. If youre ANTI-abortion, say so and back THAT up with facts. Quit opting for a comfortable label that has nothing to do with what policy youre getting behind and talk straight. And again…you are COMPLETELY wrong on this. And AGAIN…the slightest bit of research would have revealed to you that Paul believes individual states should decide their own policies regarding abortion…kind of like the Constitution intended for these controversial matters, rather than relying on a one-answer, everybody-obey rule from the federal government or a court belonging thereto. Really, get your facts straight or get back to reading before you start blasting.

- “and that same-sex marriage is repugnant”
Whoops! Heres yet ANOTHER position you got absolutely wrong. Paul believes any consentual contract between two willing adults should be recognized and protected by the law…including gay marriage. He has made this clear a number of times and you are either once again speaking from raw ignorance or simply lying.

In closing, Im beginning to wonder (to return the favor in this ongoing campaign dialogue) if people like Aura who criticize Paul and manage to get every position of his completely wrong are somehow automated responses coming from a computer somewhere (“SPAM,” if you will), as opposed to the careful analysis and opinion voiced by a real person. How else do you manage to voice the same general hatred and prejudice while completely missing the factual mark on so many points?

(Yes, I know its reprehensible to lower a debate to the level of speculating that those who disagree with you arent even real humans…but sadly, Aura and her ilk have taken it exactly there. We didnt ask for it, you did)

Maybe one day people will read carefully up on issues they wish to debate, voice their opinions based in fact on a great tool like the internet which makes this possible, and come away respecting the differing opinions of others…even if its a lot of them.

Well I got the jist of it from the first few paragraphs and saw no reason to read futher into that piece of garbage. Pathetic. What will her friends and colleagues think?

Are you crazy?

Ron Paul cares for workers and the poor more than any other candidate by far. The problem is that you and so many others mistakenly think that social welfare benefits the people. Ron Paul is all about minimizing taxation and eliminating inflation (the hidden tax) – the taxation that is currently blown on unjustified wars and the tax money that is siphoned off from the economy and wasted by inefficient government bureaucracy.

Socialism and central planning doesn’t work, it leads to a far less efficient economy and that means the poor and workers suffer. Yet this is what is taking hold in America today. The founding fathers intended for the US to be based on sound money, free market economics and minimal government intervention. This is what makes nations great and wealthy.

Government bureaucrats are only creating a massive burden for American business and it’s workers. Ron Paul promotes personal responsibility and charity provided by the people not by the government. This means churches and social welfare groups take care of the community rather than inefficient government programs. Community groups play a bigger role in a free market and this leads to a stronger more caring community.

Please do your research before writing such slanted opinion pieces.

Aura Bogoda is a socialist who wants to use government’s coercive powers to redistribute wealth. She believes in group rights. She believes in collective guilt and collective victims – along with group compensation. She believes wealth should be taken from one group by force and given to another she deems more deserving. She believes some people have the right to force their views on others and to use government resources to do it. She despises the free market because it doesn’t behave the way she wants it to.
She has no idea what Ron Paul believes. All she knows is under a Ron Paul presidency people are more likely to be free to do and believe things she doesn’t like and she can’t stand that idea.

The rank and file Republicans and Democrats love the poor.

That’s why they keep making so many of them by inflating away their savings through intentional debasement of the currency and why taxes are never adjusted to take into account inflation.

bogoda is obviously a communist. aura claims to not be racist, yet supports separating colors by law. and the evolutionary theory which is by its nature racist. bogodas ideas are full of contradictions. this is just one example.

She’s an idiot. Shame on you.

What 12 year old wrote this story? All I can figure is that it’s Glenn Becks long lost daughter. Aura Bogado hasn’t done one second of research into the matter and completely represents Ron Paul to the opposite of his stances. This is garbage and certainly not worthy of reading unless you want to be reminded of just how messed up education is these days. Remember the new definition of Journalism is to be as lazy as possible, read a few articles, pick out some points, don’t worry about fact checks..just print. This Aura person couldn’t get a job at the enquirer. What an idiot.

What a poor hit piece. Was this a 9th grade english assignment? Geez.

I Read The Article Earlier And Just Could Not Get Over How Ill Informed The Author Was.

Unfortunately I Could Not Find A Place Where I Could Reach Her Directly, To Help Her With Her Education.

One Can Reach Any Conclusion If They Limit The Data Set To Things That Support The Preconceived View.

History Has Shown That Expectation Rules Outcome For Those Unwilling To Accept That Reality Is Not What They Thought It Should Be. Fear That Their Paradigm May Not Be Infallible.

Reality Will Be Reality; whether One Believes In It Or Not.

Play On The Freeway All You Want Believing You Will Not Get Run Over; Reality Cares Not For Your Beliefs.

Views Untested Are Useless !!!

Ron Paul supports the Gun Owners of America, GOA, not the NRA. The NRA started and continues to be the leading charge for gun control. The writer obviously lacks research skills and forms opinions based on false assumption and repetitious, blind party ideology.

Evidently the author has not done any research on her topic and has only resorted to 2nd hand socialist opinion.

To Aura,

I suggest you shed the belief that the government is what will help you and folks of your persuasion realize your goals. The dismal record of failure, hypocrisy, retrogression, and empty promises from our government over the past several decades could help you realize that government by its very nature is incapable of driving societal reforms and progress.

Perhaps there are non-governmental ways of working toward civil rights and worker’s rights goals that you could consider. By now we should all recognize that merely giving the government more power in exchange for promising to enforce social justice is a fool’s errand.

10 times more cult members, and Ron Paul might have a chance of coming in 3rd place…

The person is probably a paid propagandist or completely ignorant of the facts regarding Ron Paul and government. Probably the former.

If I had more time and energy I’d deconstruct the entire article, but I’ll just respond to the “Paul is Not Anti-Capitalism.”

It’s quite simple, Paul is PRO-Capitalism, obviously, because he believes in economic liberty, free markets, cites Von Mises frequently, and even has referenced Ayn Rand (one of the biggest champions of capitalism).

What Paul IS AGAINST is Corporatism, which, sadly today, most nearly everyone considers to be the same thing as Capitalism. What Ms. Bodago fails to recognize is that the Webster’s Dictionary definition of a “monopoly” is a corporation that is supported by government subsidies or aid. THATS CORPORATISM NOT CAPITALISM. A monopoly cannot exist with pure laizze faire capitalism and an argument against that claim I have yet to hear.

Its easy to slur terms like capitalism and corporatism, just like its easy to call Paul an Isolationist and not a Non-Interventionist. Sadly, it takes someone who really cares about philosophy and politics to stand up against the outrageous claims that are made without contest.

She is still a little girl frightened of the big bad world where people find they must work for a living. It is unfair to pick on those children and you should be ashamed of using your position to try and denigrate this juvenile who is obviously still in grade school. Please restrain your otherwise very constructive observations to adults – you can know they are adults because their posts have places for comments and feedback, unlike the children’s forum you refer to in the article.
Us grownups prefer to argue the merits of adult topics in open dialogue, which is not the case for those who are still underage.

Thanks for your Attention,
And I salute your opinion anyway!

I think a socialist making a case that a conservative will not appeal to the Republican because he doesn’t old socialist views is just laughable. In case, this person didn’t notice, Ron Paul is NOT running in the demcratic party. Why in God’s name would she expect Ron Paul to embrace socialism and why does she think he has no chance of getting the Republican nomination BECAUSE he doesn’t embrace socialism?

My reaction is that this person is simply ignorant.

Unless Ron Paul gets 10 times more voters in the next year, or 15X, it’s a moot point. Even then he’d still come in 3rd place. As it is Ron Paul will have a nice retirement fund in 2009.

The only way Ron Paul will win is if the SKULL AND BONES crowd “taps” him for duty. This stuff is all rigged, you realize that don’t you?

Well, Ms. Bogado has her own Left wing bone to pick with the Paul philosophy of no-interventionists, free trade, and strong borders. She is a Transnational feminist. She supports meaningless borders, illegal aliens NAFTA, SP&P and is most likely hopping for her own spot at the CFR. Opps! under Paul we would have strong borders, NAFTA and SP*P and down the tubes, and MEXICO will not become our back door. I suspect we will be seeing many more of the people with agendas popping up before long. We have gone through the silence period and we have the smear campaign and legal action is now in full swing full swing.

The people are so uninformed and ignorant that it sickens me. Who do they think inflation hurts the most? And who is the only candidate talking about the inflation tax?? Idiots!!!

Dr. Ron Paul doesnt like the working class and poor? That is a false accusation.He recently introduced a bill not to tax tips for waitresses and bartenders stating that it was unfair to tax them for doing a good job. He also staunchly fights the fed as he knows inflation hurts the poor and middle classes savings and purchasing power than the rich bankers on wall street. Think logically not emotionally and you can discover the truth.

In response to MAD’s comment about all this being rigged… You are probably right, but the fact that the media seems to be afraid of Ron Paul tells me that they might not have as much control as we may think. That’s what has given me hope. I think they have shown weakness and there just might be a chance that people’s votes actually count.

I think what’s important is that even if he doesn’t win, we need to get the American people to be interested in the real issues of this country. If most Americans were knowledgeable about important topics, such as inflation, the media wouldn’t be able to control them like robots.

In my opinion, that is the #1 problem in America: IGNORANCE.

Well, you are totally wrong about RON PAUL. The more people know who he is, the more people end up supporting him. Strange huh???? That means he understands what the american people want. Not like
all the other phony dem.and repub. candidates. The
american people aren’t stupid. WE WANT RON PAUL!!!!!
