@Traitorfish Yeah obviously Rand is a more "Republican friendly" form of his father, but he's still in favor of marijuana legalization at a federal level, the repeal of the NDAA, and is still generally anti-interventionist especially in the Middle East (although he has considered maintaining...

"Right-Wing" is a pretty primitive term in these circumstances; it's not like either of the Pauls got good press from conservative talk radio or on Fox if that's what you mean. Really the only consistently positive, or at least friendly feedback Ron Paul got in 2012 was from Left-leaning...

I don't think it's unlikely at all that Paul can take at least the Republican nomination. Rand's advantage over his father is that despite agreeing on the fundamentals, he has significant establishment credentials and that earns media attention. Ron engineered huge money bombs and took close...

Yeah but political correctness is an effort to make terms less potentially insulting to their targets; terms like "illegal immigrant" are used to do the opposite. Sure, the Right could employ political correctness, but since generally they're quite a bit less concerned with hyper-sensitive...

Hating the president is irrelevant; that's not why I spoke up and that's not what you said. You specifically and proudly accused the majority of people who hate the president as racists, as if they couldn't possibly object to anything but his race. It goes to show you're either ignorant of their...

It's interesting that the OP wants us to jump from a lack of public information to an assumed conspiracy. I guess people see the patterns they want to in the dark.

Hey, thanks guys. No telling how long I'll be here, but we'll see how it goes!

So begins the righteous campaign against imperialism and k-pop.

You need to get out more, seriously. Have you ever met anyone in person you disagree with? Do you impute wicked motives on everyone you disagree with, or only in politics? Strangely enough this is exactly the same problem that the American Right has, they refuse to understand their opponents...

At risk of sounding like a backwards Appalachian man I think it's reasonable to say that marriage as a cultural institution doesn't exist entirely for the narrow pleasure of those married. Whether we're talking about traditional marriage to unite two families financially or culturally or...

If you don't post for two weeks or so, they put a banner at the top of the forums saying, "Hey kulade, where have you been? Go contribute to our online community and answer a question or something!" blah blah. Screw that Imma just waste my time on OT. As a sign of the times, last time I came...

So Caesar is dead? It's worth wondering if the Mesa can feasibly wriggle into power now, but I doubt they'd have the political capital to moderate any of Chávez's more radical policies. Then again I'm not sure how strong the Right is in Venezuela now anyway, they probably are going to go thru...

I've been coming here to download stuff, but I kept getting that annoying away banner telling you to post, so I think I will. Hadn't been here in maybe a year maybe two.

Sort of interesting you employ libertarian ethics for something like this. It's worth noting that most of the big names in intellectual libertarianism take precisely the opposite stance on abortion. Rothbard I know said that the fetus, even if we categorize it as a human, is a biological...

Yes, it cannot be changed; I'm sure you can understand the significant amount of programming involved in working in the ability to change land to coast. Obviously they're not going to do all that work just to give us extra toys in the editor; the whole editor is pretty ad hoc in that it really...
