"Early Prophet" (AKA "KJVProphet", "NYCProphet", "NextProphet") saith, "Ron Paul does not represent your Father''s school of political thought. He represents your Founding Fathers."

Nice try, but not true. The Founders were largely Deists, who believed, for example, that a perfect God needs no prayer from us to guide His perfect will. Deists, therefore, do not endorse prayerful intercession, either.

The Constitution, itself, makes little mention of God, except to prevent establishment of religion. This was understandable, following England''s experience with religious civil war about 150 years before.

Paul is "not your father''s school of political thought"? Certainly not-- my father has the intelligence to see through blarney when he hears it. Paul is merely Ayn Rand''s meager take on civilization, which is to say, a spoonful

About "Early Prophet"-- this is a Ron Paul booster who writes under the name "KJVProphet", "NYCProphet", "NextProphet" and now, "Early Prophet") Is this guy searching desperately for a catchy name to justify his cause? Perhaps he works for an ad agency, where changing brands is believed equivalent to changing content?

NYCProphet saith, "This is the vision of Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and their fellow members of The Bilderberg Group..."

Speaking of outdated, ineffective paradigms, you omit the bulk of damning, recent history with Bush. It so happens the neocon circles about Bush Sr. and Jr. are rife with Trilateralists. Bush, Sr. was often seen at apparent Trilateralist affairs. Bush, Jr., rubbed sh oulders with them at Davos, Switzerland.

The question arises, if you are worried about global domination by a single elite, where has your voice been during the past six years of neocon madness under Son of Bush-- substituting a Pax Americana at bayonet point for the New World Order of his father?

Go rent the film Sicko (avail at blockbuster right now)

Guess what? Someone needs to stop trumpening the wonders of REPUBLICANS--including MR. Paul.

Every news story is not about him, ninny.

USA,

And, if somewhere along the line you made a plan, it seems to work out. 15 years ago, a peer and I did the math together on a golf trip and set the target.

The plan for the last 15 years is the one that counts.

USA, good thoughts.

Careers are made up of a lot of things but a big part is luck and saving money is the resultant: good companies, economy, healthy kids and wife, health, consistent work and being in the right place at the right time for promotions. Savings can result if you have that kind of luck.

narms.com (it is not a union and it costs nothing)

It''s a great place to find that part time job for supplemental income or for retirees who want to keep their bodies and their minds moving. $10 to $15 an hour on average, and you don''t have to be degraded by some 20-something punk-a$$ retail manager telling you to go sweep the floors! You can make your own schedule every week and meet a lot of new people in the process while making a decent chunk of change in the process.

I am not retired, but I do this work regularly and it is great. Far better than straight McRetail work!

EarlyProphet:



Do you really think that by spamming and bombing the boards with all of your mindless posts, (much like lars does), that we are really going to vote for Ron Paul?!?!?

I''''m purposely NOT going to vote for him just because of people like you!!!!

RON PAUL IS THE NEW WAY
What we need is a President who will show us the way. Not the old way. Not the same way, but a NEW way. Think about this for a minute. What if we pulled all of our troops out of South Korea? They''ve been there for 50+ years. What if we quit worrying about Iran, but instead, realized that its having a nuclear weapon will not mean the end of the world? What if we pulled all of our troops out of the Middle-East, and brought them all home? What if we realistically addressed the National Debt, and paid attention to REALLY DOING SOMETHING about stopping illegal immigration? These are the ideas of Presidential candidate, Ron Paul. He''s a ten term Congressman and a physician who has delivered over 4,000 babies. He''s an intellectual who''s published four books, three of which are devoted entirely to sound economics and one to foreign policy. He was raised on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania as a pious Lutheran, but now he attends a Baptist church. Paul is given to mulling things over morally. Whenever he recollects the helicopter pilots he treated as an Air Force Flight Surgeon (Captain) during the Vietnam War, a war which he now says was "totally unnecessary and illegal," he laments, "They were gung-ho. I''ve often thought about how many of those people never came back." Candidates with the high level of personal integrity and proven track record of adherence to The Constitution, Congressman Paul has always demonstrated only come around once in a lifetime, if we''re lucky.

Daughter said I could live up stairs "when".... my wife said I might not get stairs to come down......

Maybe ''crossin'' over to the other side'', is better than one realizes. I would never go live with my child. I''d live in a tent first.
