    Default Ron Paul's Farewell Speech to Congress: The End of a Cult Figure

    Congressman Paul this past election decided not to run for his Congressional spot again and spent all his time on the Presidential election (which he knew he wouldn't win). The guy is 77 years old and it is not surprising that he just doesn't have it in him. If you have time, the speech is a little under 49 minutes wrong. The speech itself is a summation of what Paul has stood for for the past 25+ years and as a farewell to his followers, it does the job well. But will this man live on in history and will the libertarian cult around him hold strong? His son Rand Paul and recent Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is waiting in the wings to take the reign of the libertarian youth, but how much fervor will remain without the original Paul? Anyway, here is the video.

    Rand Paul is supporting some things that are traditonally against the typical republitard platform and have been notably absent of the libertarian platform because so many of the libertarians come from the repulbitards. So, yes, he has a chance, with the smart ones. With your rank and file Republitards Rand will be demonized because the rank and file Republitards are slaves to corporations and the industrial military complex and in most cases do not even know it.

    but I don't really care, because Obama is the anti christ and will put ia chip in my head soon so all is nigh 666 ROXXOR

    It's a great loss for you lefties really, ideoligy tends to make a full circle that never connects. Read up on what the libertatarians are about you might like it.

    Yes frags, I'm ignorant of libertarians. For crying out loud, there's been a zillion threads on it on this board even, so how on earth can you believe I don't know about it?

    I do appreciate a comrade-in-arms on social issues, what puts them in my loonie bin is their economic policy.

    Not at all Horetore, libertarians just don't believe we need all that much government because we can arange that perfectly fine ourselves. There is too much government and that makes it clumbersome, that doesn't mean a decline of human rights but just doing it more effectively because there is less dead weight aka government doing it. If you look into it you won't find it all that bad, but the government obviously doesn't like it and that is why Fisherking just called you a media-slave.

    If you had the first idea of anything that was not filtered through extreme views your self, someone my listen to you. But since you are the best proof that there are still trolls in Norway, we will just leave it at that.

    I will await your next shallow comment with baited breath.

    Oh, that's 100% error on my part lol. I keep getting those two mixed up. It's like the Futurama episode between Jack Johnson and John Jackson.
