I'm not sure I follow the logic in that statement. Since we are here, it should follow that these things aren't happening. Maybe we should invade Mexico?

They all are. There are also a lot of variables that influence the outcome. China may be inflating at a faster pace but they also have a very high growth rate to moderate the effect of the increase in money supply. The US hid inflation behind growth for a long time but it is not so easy these...

As I see it the game being played by the central banks is "Inflate your way to Prosperity". The ideal is 2% or something to promote growth, stability, or whatever the politically correct agenda might be. The problem is when the average inflation rates get out of balance relative to each other...

I can't speak to the rest of the list but I have seen a clip where he was asked about #2. His comment was that he could find no authority in the constitution to award medals to anyone, no matter how deserving they may be. He said he personally admired Rosa Parks and thought a medal would be a...

I have to agree here. If your idea is to prepare for very hard times then junk silver coins are your best bet imo. They are a small enough increment that it could actually be used as a medium of exchange. Trying to buy groceries with gold coins wouldn't be very feasible. Silver in any form...

Not to put too fine a point on things, but carbon 14 dating has an extreme range of 100k years so dating dinos is well beyond that. There are many other isotopes with half lives that do have an effective range for that though. Ask your brother sometime how he might explain the annual ice...

In a speech Paul gave in 2003 in the House of Representatives titled "Neoconned" he called Bill Kristol and his father Irving by name as part of a group that has hijacked foreign policy in the US and turned it into a policy of preemptive war, among other things. Whether you agree with Paul's...

Thanks for a great read gutsytrader. I just read this thread from front to back today. Good luck to you. A little thought from Henry David Thoreau That is one of my all time favorites. Godspeed.

If you happen to live in a state having a primary, your vote will have the biggest impact there.

This open minded quote is by the people behind the interesting blog article that started this thread. As long as you say things they agree with, then you may proceed.... They call themselves MoveOff,LLC

Great speech TDoL. Thanks for that, I hadn't seen it before.

Speaking of sleep, I think I have gone about as far as I care to with this.

I don't know if he would try to restrict abortion at the local level. You might notice I have already implied as much. I doubt he would since he is running for President and is very clear that the federal government should not be involved. That doesn't mean he can't have a personal position...

The point, ZZZzzzzzzz, is that the decisions being made at the state level are one level closer to the people most affected. Therefore they will possibly be more able to affect a change in the law if it does not suit them. A one size fits all approach form Washington D.C. is less preferable...

Sorry, no sale. Paul is not trying to impose his views on the country. He is trying to return to the each of the states the ability for its' citizen to determine what their state laws will be. Free from as many federal dictates as possible. Something more along the lines the Founders had in...

geez rb88, take it easy. I usually don't agree with dddooo, but his point is valid as to whether RP is consistent in this area. Maybe his comments are a little over the top when he slams RP, and it will be a point that will be debated no doubt if Paul does climb in the polls. I expect that...

Agreed. I have no quibble with RP's stance that the Federal government has no business making decisions of such a personal nature and should divest itself of those types of rulings. He has a personal belief, presumably based on his religious views in this area, and is entitled to them. He...

Might that not also give all 50 states the opportunity to reaffirm a woman's right to choose?

He does engage in the earmark process because he has to represent his constituents. He would be derelict in his duties if he didn't. But as you can see from the quote, he votes against the bills containing the earmarks. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118740056245201632.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Best thing I seen on ET lately regarding Paul's candidacy. Unfortunately, most Americans are reluctant to do anything hard...like thinking. It is so much easier to take the pap that is fed to them. I started watching Paul about three years ago and at first I wondered "who is this nut job?"...
