Ron Paul and his son Rand Paul are set to shift the central focus of their family's long libertarian crusade to a new cause: internet freedom. Kentucky senator Rand and his father Ron Paul, who has not yet formally conceded the Republican presidential nomination, will throw their weight behind a new online manifesto set to be released soon by the Paul-founded Campaign for Liberty.
The new push, Paul aides say, will in some ways displace what has been their movement's long-running top priority: shutting down the Federal Reserve Bank. The move is an attempt to stake a libertarian claim to a central public issue of the next decade, and to move from the esoteric terrain of high finance to the everyday world of cable modems and Facebook.

+16I do no always support Ron Paul, but when I do, I support his efforts to limit the size and scope of government.
I see your point, I said in my last post not every law can be contested (ie. killing). But not sure you get mine.
Ok how about this, in your words;
"The only real crimes are those that violate someone else's unalienable rights to life, liberty and property."
So ban all content on the internet that portrays these crimes happening and im happy.
As a side note; would you take drugs in front of police officers? If not you are still accepting authority and abiding by those laws. If no one see's it and no one knows, it might as well never happened. Not that I support drug use, just making the point you aren't rejecting authority until you do it in front of them.
Aren't you clever with your silly superimposed pictures. Don't you have anything better to do with your time!
It does matter, it matters that Obama has ruined out nation and wants to slip it further down the sink hole! It matters to me and to millions who love our country ..as i said before ''Anyone but Obama , but now I say Romney and never never Obama !"
Mr moderate rino expand the government spread the wars civil liberty killer universal healthcare supporter corrupted cayman island account holder Romney
You should vote for Mitt Romney to get government out of your life , your children's life and for every other reason big government is bad.
By the way your criteria is not relavant.
Romney is no more Obama than Eisenhower was like Hitler!
Get a grip!
One of them is not even a politician.
I can make up graphics too.
I am not, nor have I ever been a union worker. My father was military (he died when I was seventeen ) and my mother is retired from retail sales. I have scraped by for most of my life. My wife's family has owned the house we live in since it was built, But her mom was a nurse and her dad mostly worked for the phone company.
I say all this to show that we are just average folks like you.
Truth be told, I don't think I would object too loudly if Romney won the election. He and Obama really aren't too far from each other politically.
But I do think that historically, Republicans have never really given a damn about the little people. For example... why should I lose my social security or future medical coverage so the wealthy don't have to pay the same tax rates as me? I don't care what they pay, as long as I get what I've earned when I retire. But to cut out social programs so the rich can get richer and the govt can keep doing things like losing 51 billion dollars (I mean they literally don't know what happened To it.) in 2006 in Iraq. But if the wealthy don't pay their fair share, someone has to make up for that.
But, to me, since...

But, to me, since the two are so much alike, we might as well ride out the next four years moving mostly forward, instead of trying to erase the past. Think for a minute on how much money it will cost to try to repeal the ACA. In the meantime, if these rights you are talking about losing are that important to you , they should be that important to your congressman. Ask him to consult with his associates on the hill about them. Ask him why he let them pass without so much as crying to Rush Limbaugh about it. Only two possible answers. Either we don't care or we agree with the POTUS.
Then ask the Romney/Obama question of yourself again.
I also support his idea of auditing the FED. Find out where the money went and recover as much as possible, abolish the FED and prosecute all its executives involved in any illegal activity.
I am the candidate for the U.S. House of Representative District 2 with the Green Party of Colorado and see that the Republican-Democrat party both took so much power away from the Constitution and gave it to President Obama, who has followed every Bush Policy at the same time saying he was against them. They did this through the NDAA bill or HR 1540 (thomas.gov) that a judge stated takes away citizens rights to freedom of speech and to the right to trials. Only 13 Senators did not vote for the bill and an equal number of Republicans and Democrats voted for it, a majority of U.S. House of Representatives and Pres. Obama. I would think that a person who is concerned about liberty ought to leave the Republican-Democrat parties that pretend to be against each other, but vote for most of the same things.
