As a 4 year veteran of the U.S Armed Forces, and a human being. I feel as if we should take back our country. It's a bunch of head games, I can't take it. I want checks and balances back, Ron Paul would be my choice if he would run or Rand. Libertarianism just seems right, It's natural and makes sense. We can have peace once we stop invading other's lands. We can't seem to learn from the Indians, who have a true way to live. Would we have the tenacity to leave our high tech greedy lives and go back to simpler ways. If it is the one thing I learned that is most valuable from my military days is the ability to read people and who they are. Obama has this look and no spirit behind his words, unlike the one I can feel in Ron Paul. It is my personal belief that if we should excel to distinguish evil it would be most valuable and direct path to rebuilding a greater future for mankind.

Thanks to everyone I served with, and continue serving!

If only it was that simple.

Your way of thinking is very naive.

eh... Soo all I'm getting out of this is I was in the military so vote for Ron Paul.. because I think he would do better.

My thoughts.. I'm still in the military, serving overseas, and I can't say what I really want to..

Ron Paul is quite possibly the biggest political joke I've ever seen. Remove the separation of church and state because there is no functionable morality outside of Christianity? No, let's not. Set forth a series of massive isolationist and anti-regulation policies, and eliminate the Fed? Well, I guess if you really liked the first great depression. It's pretty hard to believe he's anything but racist with all his views on every law that implies race while simultaneously being the least likely congressperson to crackdown on pro-white organizations.

He is voraciously opposed to equality, social responsibility, or any sort of forward thinking progress. I can summarize his entire political stance of "Fuck you got mine, unless you're a white christian."

True Christianity has no racist views. Being it's made up of several different origins, much like America.

I'm going to head to bed for the night, but I do hope and look forward to all kinds of good discussion, with rational open minded perspectives. Listen to everything, and don't restrict yourself.

Thanks to the people who have already commented, I appreciate it!

I know almost nothing in American politics, but your general understanding resonates with me.

The world will soon be ready for peace, right now we're still addicted to drama and invading each others personal, psychological and geographical boundaries.

I agree.

"Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."

I would replace the word meek with peaceful, high-character people who pursue happiness in a way that doesn't require suffering from others."

It can be done.

A peaceful one however has either developed a balanced state of mind or is a fool who can't defend himself nor know the way of applying his will over someone else.
Many peaceful people under pressure therefore become aggressors or slaves.
They need someone to defend them from the rest of the cruel world in order to stay who they are.
A community of peaceful people that have no ambition for power or manipulating people could work if they would be separated from the rest.

You can be a peaceful loser.
Then you go above that and stand up for yourself. You step on some toes in the process and hurt other people.
Then you go above that, become peaceful again, but this time without causing harm to others and setting up firm boundaries, not tolerating destructive behavior from other people.

Here's a close example from SC world. White-Ra, people say he's the nicest guy in the world, but he is known for having a chaotic younger days. He admitted to constantly being involved in bar fights etc.

Do you think you can push him around now? nope. But he wont bully anyone either, because he realizes it's much more enjoyable to behave in a way that makes others, as well as yourself, happy.

Too obvious a troll for my liking. Should have snuck in a bit more sense into the blog so people actually take the bait.

At the moment all a thinking person can do is snicker at your rather poor portrayal of what a man who lets his gut (or rather genitalia of a below-average size if we trust the latest wisdom of South Park) and not his mind be the decider.

"Obama has this look and no spirit behind his words, unlike the one I can feel in Ron Paul."
^ Look, spirit, feel... and some sentimental dravel about the "Indians"?

Look, spirit, and feel being my opinions, and this being my blog. Blog's are creative tools for us to post our opinions. No it is actually not a Troll. My mind is the decider...

What other negativity would you like to spout. I don't mind people posting their opinions, but do it in a respectful manner. Saying I'm "trolling" people to "take the bail" is uncalled far.
