Default Is this true and would you agree?

Senator Ron Paul (Repulican from Texas) is one of only two senators that I have any real respect for.

Every time I watch him on C-Span, I feel that I am listening to a man of the intellectual and moral caliber of the greatest of the founding fathers of this once great country.

And every time, I am saddened to think that this great and moral mind is sidelined by the dominant breed of federal politician today: the low-life, greedy sacks of $%^& that have come to infest the federal government.

It is my belief (and I am a really critical, hyper-skeptical person) that Ron Paul is one of only two straight-shooters in the U.S. Senate.

If I knew her, I would encourage her to self-medicate. She has some pretty good points. But, you have to accept that sh!t happens. It is Their game, so it is Their rules. The Buddha said that Life is Suffering. Once you have accepted that, it is easier to navigate through the BS.

I agree. This country isn't the way it used to be. I haven't been alive very long, but this place has certainly changed alot since I was a child. Sure, some things have changed for the good, but for the most part it's for the worse. Religion, gas prices, free speech, no matter the subject, it's just not the same anymore. I'm almost ashamed to say that this is the country I was born in and this is the country that I represent. Everything has made me so disgusted, and I'm so sick of it. And if anyone disagrees with me, it's their choice. We DO still have the freedom of opinion...don't we?

well i agree with you on a lot of your issues.. and i have one to add to it and that they are taking god out of everything.. if they do this the next generations will not know about god and the world will be in a lot worse state ...i think people have the right to talk about god in school, and on the money they spend, the tv shows that are being forbidden to talk anout god..it is not right.. and i agree with you on many of your points.. and the americans now have to push a certain number on the phone if they want to talk in english...they have let foreigner come over here that we do not know is faithful to america or not... they are in a war that has lost lots of lives and we should care about other people but they cannot afford to help our own people here in the us...i think they are trying to outcast us americans and letting it easier on the foreigners to take over our jobs and businesses...they are trying to let gays and homosexual marry and act like this is a normal home for children to be raised up in.. where are the moral of people now a days.. how many politicians can you believe now...how many promises have not been kept...i do not even the court system is just... they do not want to hear the whole truth just what the questions the lawyers ask....i just do not understand all this myself... and many of times if you do not have the money to keep paying lawyers, you make a deal with them and you really did not have no involvement at all...something is sure wrong there...

I read every word of it. While I can't say that I agree with every statement made, I would have to say that a good 95% hits it smack on the nail head.

At the beginning, I agreed with this piece but as it went on it began to feel rather hypocritical.
It seems to me that what this lady is most angry about is her freedom to do what she wants when she wants. She says she wants to be able to eat what she wants, drive whatever car she wants, and have no restrictions. Yet she is angry about people from other nations having the opportunity for refuge in her country. At the end of the day we all share the same earth, nationality is just where we happen to be born. I believe that everybody has the right to live without the threat of war, violence or imprisonment. Having the 'freedom' to choose which car you own or which medication you have is not a right, it is a luxury.

I also think it is very hypocritical to say that she is angry that foreigners are coming to her country and she has to press a button on her phone for english (that does sound tricky). Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't modern day americans come over from foreign countries and colonize america, taking it from the American Indians?
It is this kind of attitude that leads to prejudice and the persecution of peopl from different countries.

Nobody can control where they are born and it is only a matter of luck that this lady was born into America. Why does she think that having enough money for a comfortable retirement is a god given right? Most people in the world have to struggle to get food everyday and having 'extra' money to put away for old age just doesn't happen, they simply work until they die.

How can somebody be angry that they are one of the priviledged few who will never have to worry about having enough food or clean water to survive, and one of the few costs of this lifestyle is having to pay a small amount to help those who are less fortunate to be born into such a country?

I was with her on the first 1/4, but she lost me when she started in on the crazy conspiracy theories. Like so many well-intentioned people, she didn't stop soon enough.

Welcome to earth Mrs. Ego.

Well, calm down that lady for us would you?

"I am angry that I am called a conspiracy theorist because I dare to think on my own and question authority and its lies."

I almost laughed when I read this one; how could she be not a accused of conspiracy theorist after all this long and boring self-ego statements

"It would be easy to tell the Middle East what to do with their oil if restrictions on exploration and production were lifted in our own backyard."

Ha ha, and accelerating the extinction of oils, and to this date, we still haven't got any alternative fuels that is mass producable enough and have devices made to burn it."I am angry that I have to search a package for English and push a button on every telephone system and ATM machine to continue in English."
Haha, well, that's better than having to push a button to say that my language is <something> not English, while you definitely lives in a country where English speaker is rare and almost inexistent apart from a few minorities of foreigners."I am angry that my country is the only nation on earth who declares that a baby born on its soil is automatically an American citizen."
Well, please, be careful on that saying, it is possible that in the origin country of your parent, babies that is not born on it's soil would never be accepted to have their nationalities, and boom, that'd make you have no nationalities."I am angry that the symbols, customs, and roots of my Judeo-Christian country are being systematically outlawed because my culture offends newcomers. When we freely choose to go somewhere, are we not accepting the customs and cultures of that place? I am weary of being made to feel
guilty for being an American."
Well, didn't the European custom offends the native Indians hundreds of years ago? The Indians' have to give you all the lands that is supposed to be theirs, and now you dare to say that you don't want to share it with the foreigners?"I am angry that I am required to obtain permission, fill out mandated paperwork in quadruplicate, and obtain the correct license or permit for just about everything imaginable. The tentacles of government are strangling my freedom, choice, and privacy at an alarming rate. The wrath of the machine is a constant threat should I dare do anything without leaving a neon paper trail and of course ignorance of the law is never an excuse."
Excuse me, there is people outside US that have to struggle even more. Since, If They don't give some "little tips" to the government officials, they could never expect their driver license or their ID card, or any papers to ever been approved or even considered."I am angry that my right to own and carry a firearm is drastically
regulated and restricted."
God, please order one of your Angels to shot this lady so she take back what she had just said. Amen.
Satan, please order one of your Devils to shot thus lady so she takes back what she had just said. Nema.
Oh, I pray both to God and Satan, perhaps if one of them refuses to, the other would accept shoting this lady."I am angry that Washington, D.C.?s Metro is now being pressured to replace every station sign with bilingual verbiage to the tune of millions of dollars. Are bilingual road signs going to be the next mandated law of the land? I am currently forced to pay for voting ballots printed in 15 different languages and my tax dollars pay for interpreter services for people who are summoned to court for breaking laws. If English is the international language of the world, why isn?tit good enough to be the official language of the United States?"
Hey hey hey, it IS international language, but not everyone can speak English as well as you. And if you're americans, and you can't speak english very well, and you have to vote, and there isn't your native language version of it, wouldn't that mean the government is preventing you from voting, and isn't voting a right for every american citizens?

After this part, I got bored, and I'll just let this (perhaps inexistent) lady be mad forever. EDIT: I continue this "exciting and thrilling" novels, and decided to continue laughing to death.
