The Republican party has always been made of two branches: the crony-capitalist branch and the Libertarian branch. Reagan was from the Goldwater-Libertarian branch, George Bush, Sr. was from the crony-capitalist branch.

So this Ron-Paul-is-not-a-real-Republican-because-he-leans-Libertarian is a joke. The Libertarian branch is far older than the crony-capitalist branch.

It’s the bedrock of the old Republican party.

The newbies—i.e., the fake Republicans—are the neocons. Their foreign policy and stance on social issues aligns quite well with the internationalist strains of the Democratic Party. (And in fact the neocons admit coming from the Scoop Jackson branch of the Dems.) So you wanna talk “fake Republicans”? Look no further than the neocons. Somehow they seized power and are trying to purge the older substratum of the Republican party.

“How can we be happy about global peace and security if the whole world is controlled by only five countries? We are 192 nations and countries, and we are like Speakers’ Corner in London’s Hyde Park. We just speak and nobody implements our decisions. We are mere decoration, without any real substance. We are Speakers’ Corner, no more, no less. We just make speeches and then disappear. This is who you are right now.”

- Speech to the UN General Assembly, September 2009

…unfortunately you know, most of the people, they consider animation much like comedies, as a genre. It’s not a genre. It’s just a medium.

When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.

Ron Paul asked about Heroin Legalization.

We don’t have a first amendment so that we can talk about the weather. We have the first amendment so that we can say very controversial things. So for people to say that “yes, we have our religious beliefs protected”, but people who want to follow something else or a controversial religion — “you can’t do this”, if you have the inconsistency, then you’re really not defending liberty. But there are strict rules on freedom of choice of this sort, because you can’t hurt other people, you can’t defame other people, but yes, you have a right to do things that are very controversial. If not, you’re gonna end up with government is gonna tell us what we can eat and drink and whatever. You know, it’s amazing that we want freedom to pick our future in a spiritual way, but not when it comes to our personal habits.

What you referring is, “if we legalize heroin tomorrow, everybody’s gonna use heroin.” How many people here would use heroin if it was legal? I bet nobody would. “Oh yeah, I need government to take care of me; I don’t want to use heroin so I need these laws!”
