the-capitalist: Which uprising? There were several strikes and issues with unions in dealing with several industries. But this was not the cause of the Gold Standard.

funk-adelic asked: "The individual suffering from AIDS certainly is a victim – frequently a victim of his own lifestyle." --- That was a Ron Paul quote you posted earlier. I don't understand what is bad about that quote... you get AIDS by having unprotected sex with multiple partners...having unprotected sex with multiple partners is a lifestyle...he is just stating facts.

FACT CHECK: Ron Paul Personally Defended Racist... →
In May 1996, Paul was confronted in an interview by the Dallas Morning News about a line that appeared in a 1992 newsletter, under the headline “Terrorist Update”: “If you have ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how unbelievably fleet of foot they can be.” His response: Dr. Paul denied suggestions that he was a racist and said he was not evoking stereotypes when he wrote...

ctram527 asked: (Continuation lol) politicians and bailouts are given to the huge corporations that may become bankrupt in hopes to "save those jobs." this is all fueled by the federal reserve and leads to an unfair playing field for small businesses. Also the money printed up by the Fed adds a tax to the middle class via inflation. The only person that understands this and is fighting the Fed happens...

Libertarians don't believe in democracy
Libertarian economic ideology enabled Wall St. to rob the U.S. and global economy.  People act like this is all a new idea or something.

The idea of allowing full self-regulation by markets is a virus and needs to be immunized.  In fact it is ideas such as this that directly led to the financial collapse. Alan...
