"Paul is interesting."
I think Paul is a curiosity. Just a week or so ago, I ran into one of his disciples here in Idaho..it was my lemming experience of the day. the Paul disciple was prept with the goodies, free cd's & all, but sh*t...no cookies, no chocolates. I was just blindly curious with masked suspicions.
I was not aware that Paul is actually a 'Constitutionalist'...not a Libertarian as some here observed, not a Republican (no public love left for the repub's although he probably has a Texas "R" tattooed somewhere on his backside). it is odd he sold himself as a republican to obtain political office...now he has morphed into a questionable mark of some character that sells well on the street.
anyway, as a Constitutionalitist, which according to Wikpedia, is "The term Constitutionalism refers to the position or practice that government be limited by a constitution, usually written, that is superior to statutes, treaties, executive and judicial actions, and the constitutions or laws of sub-jurisdictions. The term may also refer to a movement or effort to enforce such a legal order, usually called constitutional compliance. Constitutionalism is also concerned with the principles of constitutional design, which includes the principle that the field of public action be partitioned between delegated powers to the government and the rights of individuals, each of which is a restriction of the other, and that no powers be delegated that are beyond the competence of government."
my question to the 'Ron Paul Idaho lemming- on- the- street' was how would this affect my quality of life here in Idaho in regards, let's say, property zoning or water rights. guess what? none of that will matter as the 'long ago' Constitution is very explicit and minimizes all governance that rests outside the Constitutional parameters including, I am sure, a lot of good government (if there is any such as good government left). after this conversation, I suppose Ron Paul's 'intentions' would be the adoption of Laissez Faire politics.
in my 'today's opinion, it is bad to suffer the wrongdoings of unfettered capitalism & now people in this country may want to blindly embark on a path of Laissez Faire politics as a return to political sanity. my statement & question to the Ron Paul profit was that the Constitution has been amended with the original 'Bill- of- Rights' setting the precedent for all future amendments. the Constitution is therefore a 'living' document that allows for the future necessities of the nation; furthermore, states rights are certainly guaranteed if not expressly forbidden by the Constitution driving forth other laws for the welfare of it's people. is this not correct?
(if there are errors of Constitutional 're- design' they are solely my fault. my 'Civics' was long ago & I am pissed that this republican pariah Ron Paul is trying to re- package himself/ & emerge as a beautiful flower.)
I read of Ron Paul & see his merry minions of legionnaires mucking up the public airwaves & thoroughfares with their propaganda. my issue with all these polliwog bs's such as Paul is their capacity to lie about anything/ all things to gain fame or political office. Paul is just another political puke singing a different song but selling the same old shit. |
