GP1

I tried to take the test. Half way through the third page I was so bored with the juvenile nature of the questioning I went no further. When you are as smart as the Great GP1, these questions have complicated responses. For example, one of the questions is "An eye for and eye, and a tooth for a tooth." How should we look at that? One way is Biblical. After all, it comes from the Bible. The question is, Is the statement calling for punishment or restraint? If it is punishment, then whatever you do to someone else, you should have done to you. Should we kill someone who accidentally kills another person in a crime classified as less than murder in the first degree? I'm not sure that is a proper punishment for some of the lesser murder charges. In the great and complicated mind of the Great GP1, I believe the statment is about showing restraint and encouraging people to be better instead of bitter savages Hell bent on revenge. Maybe it means, ONLY and eye for an eye and nothing extreme. The Bible is a tool for bettering ourselves, not turning us into savages. Republicans like to use this statement as defense for the death penalty. They also like to tell us about the 10 Commandments. The last time I read the 10 Commandments, I could have swore one of them said, "You shall not kill". I don't think it said, "If you aren't too busy and it isn't too much of an inconvenience, please try not to kill one another." They are the 10 Commandments, not the 10 Requests. In an effort to play God, Republicans discard one of God's laws. That could be a hard one to answer for some day. As a rule, don't kill anyone unless they are trying to kill you.

The only problem is I'm not made uncomfortable by the survey. I think anyone who has read more than 20 of my posts over the years could admit I am probably the most comfortable person on the board. Nothing seems to phase me. There are people on this board who absolutely hate my posts and reply in nasty terms. Honest go God, I forget who they are after I read them. That's the sign of someone who is comfortable and doesn't give a crap about what people think of him. I know I'm not a racist. I know people from all political views are good Americans. I know people who are religious aren't stupid and I know people who are not religious aren't stupid. I know Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity are disgusting human beings who believe they are actually doing something good. I know people from other countries can be good people. I just came to the realization I am even greater than I even thought.

The right of kids to make something of themselves override those of the parent to indoctrinate them. What other parental rights would you like to take away? Morons are not born, they are made. Morons have been around forever. Another generation of morons will not destroy the world. It is the right of a parents to create a moron if they so wish.

I agree, but isn't it the right of a parent and the people of Mississippi to turn their children into a generation of morons if they wish?

This is a link to the Libertarian Party web page. See for yourself what it is. It is more than an extreme version of Republican politics. We are pro-choice. We are ready to bring the troops home. We are small government. We are for liberty. We understand there are certain defined constitutional roles the government plays and is not doing them very well right now. For the third time, Rand Paul is not going to lose a general election in a state like Kentucky. What he said would cost him an election in a state like California, but not Kentucky.

The gun rights issue is not being handled well by Rand Paul. He is playing the high school debate club game reporters like to play. Don't play their game. His father, the almost as great as the Great GP1, Ron Paul, would run circles around these reporters. The question isn't about gun rights, it is about personal property rights. If you own a business, it should be up to you to decide what people do or don't bring into your establishment. If a restaurant owner does not want guns in his establishment, he has every right to tell people not to bring them in. If a gun owner does not like it, he can go somewhere else. If a restaurant owner allows guns and someone doesn't like it, they can go somewhere else to eat.

Libertarian ideas can solve all of these problems. Growing population of poor? Open the door for individuals in this country to create jobs and expand the economy. Create conditions where people have enough money to support their local food shelter (ie: Haven of Rest) and the poor will be better taken care of. Stop driving down the cost of labor with illegals. Revisit NAFTA...it has been a disaster for the USA and especially middle class workers. Teenage unemployment? Create conditions where business can succeed and adults will be put back to work instead of woking in fast food restaurants. Once they leave fast food restaurants, the teenagers will have a place to work. Close the borders and there will be more jobs for Americans. Libertarians don't believe in open borders, we believe in the Constitution. It is the job of the Federal government to protect the borders and they need to get to work. The Arizona border law is more about the failure of the Federal government to act than a statement on Arizona. School funding? The more money we throw at schools, the more stupid the kids get. Maybe we aren't putting money in the right places. Let people at the local level decide what is best for their school. If we listen to the multitude of ideas from around the country, we would get more ideas than the one from the Federal government. If two heads are better than one, thousands of heads should be even better.

Actually, I get a kick out of all of my loyal subjects asking me to take a test I could really care less about.

The questions are stupid. For example, I have no idea what my race has to do with liberty and freedom. I have no idea what being proud of being an American has to do with liberty and freedom....there are lots of people who are proud Americans who are trying to limit my freedoms. It's a childish survey. The survey is also written for the British. HAHAHA The questions are a constant. That makes them good for comparison. What does it matter that it is British. What are you talking about? Freedom and religion and American pride? It is a political survey! It is juxtapositioning those stances with your world view. Just answer the questions and show Zipsnation how libertarian you really are. Stop being such a baby. I'll exercise my freedom and just say, no thanks. I've never been one to give into pressure. The survey is silly.

Don't have time for the test, but I would bet not.

Paul will win his election in Kentucky. It's not like he is running in California or Oregon. Obama was elected after having past associations with some of the biggest Marxists in the country. I'd love to know what he said to those people behind closed doors. Obama is not in the mainstream of American thought. Paul may seem strange on the surface, but if people really looked into his views, he would be mainstream. We know communism does not work because we have seen it fail in our lifetime. We are getting away from freedom in this country and we need more freedom if we are go generate the types of ideas necessary to move the country forward. People in government are not smart enough to advance an idea to move society forward. Government creates one idea. Liberty creates many ideas, good and bad, and we can then pick the best ideas. Liberty will work if they try. A problem Libertarians have in general is not that they we right (we are), it is our society can not handle adult conversations. Libertarians want to have adult conversations about real problems facing America today. Maddow, Hannity, Limbaugh, Olberman, etc want to have high school debate club. I'm not interested in high school debate club. Speaking of adult conversations, the biggest voting block in the US is Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers are the worst generation this country has ever created as they are a bunch of lazy, self-centered children. The US is going to be destroyed by supporting these bums when they start sucking at the breast of Social Security. The math simply does not work. The answer is to make people work longer before getting SS, but that will never happen because Baby Boomers want free money so they can go ride their bikes rather than contribute to society. In reality, Boomers don't care if the US is destroyed by them being on SS, they just want their money so they can go play. When Paul gets into the Senate, many in the Tea Party will be surprised to see he will vote, at times, with Democrats. Paul will vote with Republicans to cut taxes and government, but he will also vote with Democrats to bring the troops home from that waste of time in the Middle East. The last time I checked, mainstream meant voting in the middle. I don't know if Paul is in the middle or not, but he sure is different. We need "different" in politics right now.

It depends on where you are running. Paul will not lose because of what he said. People are not concerned about what happened over 40 years ago now. Nancy Pelosi wins election after election and her views are not mainstream.

They should know. Between working at Hooters during the lunch rush and The Doll House from 7-1, those girls make a ton of money. There were 6 customers and 7 girls working at 12:30 to 1:45 pm on April 12th. I left a decent tip, but if they have to split that, it ain't goin' too far. . You were there in the off season for Myrtle Beach. Most golfers are done by then and its too early for the tourists, school is still in session. Between working at Hooters and stripping, some of those girls, if they are really "talented" can easily make in excess of $1,000 per day during the summer months and golf season. That is typically a five month period. Throw in some prostitution every now and then and they are really raking it in.

Soth Caolina is a tough place for the ladies. All the rich men are off hiking the Appalachian Trail. Governor Sanford is anything but rich. That freeloading sack of crap didn't have a pot to piss in when he married his now ex-wife. His ex-wife is the daughter of the Skill Tool family and is rich beyond belief. Her family can be traced back to the original settlers of South Carolina. In fact, she has a beautiful home on Sullivans Island. I drove by it last week. She is part of the Sullivan family tree. The trips out of country on a state plane is actually a crime regardless of your views. The attorney general not throwing the book at him is a dereliction of duty, but why should we expect anything more out of our politician these days....

This will not happen at UofA. The investment alone in athletics alone in the past 10 years would stop it. You don't build a new football stadium and then let it sit empty. One thing they could say and it is true, if the Athletic Department loses money, they should cut their budget somehow until it is within reason to the income.

There is no actual Tea Party. Actually, I belong to the Libertarian Party so I can say that freely. Maturity is not being a servant of the government. Maturity is not allowing another to tell you how to live your life. Anyone who wants more government is actually fearful of maturing. People who are in government are actually the most stupid people in our society. Why should we look at what they do as mature? They are children like Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity.

They are red herrings designed to distract from real issues like an ever expanding government, national debt, high unemployment and a never ending war. The DOW was down 376 today and unemployment is up and Europe is five years ahead of us into bankruptcy, but Maddow wants to discuss the civil rights movement. Give me a break. I realize how much Baby Boomers like to relive their youth because it somehow further inflates their already overblown sense of themselves, but Maddow is not focusing on the issues that face America today. The next time Maddow asks Paul about his opinion of anything that went on in the 1960s, Paul should say, "I respectfully submit that is a stupid question and we need to focus on more important issues that face America today." Rachel Maddow is a childish little girl who can't grow out of her glory days in high school debate club. There is a promo MSNBC runs with her saying she wants her show to be "fair" and she says it with a straight face. That's like saying Sean Hannity want to be fair. The only promo more crazy on MSNBC is the one of Olberman saying he "illuminates" issues on his show. Olberman illuminates political issues like I make a room more fragrant when I blast a fart after a two day bender. Maddow's show, Hardball and Olberman are no different than the clowns on the other liberal network filled with neo-conservatives, FOX News. As far as gun ownership, I'll just say this. Freedoms are lost at the end of a pen. Freedoms are won back at the end of a gun. Never give up your gun. No matter how much you try to twist, push and pull, the so called red herring argument is going to be Rand's undoing. You can't mess with the civil rights laws. Once it gets out that he wants to repeal social security, the dept of education, the IRS, etc... the election is lost. I can't turn you arguing his policy points. Tea Baggers are the hard right of American Politics. Everytime I talk to one of you, guns or something racist comes out. Your fringe party is unelectable. America has matured. This is not your father's Paul-itician. I'm sure daddy's eyes went a-rollin' when he watched THAT interview. Do you guys really thing Paul is going to lose an election in Kentucky? If so, you believe Maddow is fair and Olberman is illuminating.

Maybe everyone should keep their eyes open for Delonte and Gloria taking romantic drives on Arlington Road at 4:00AM next year......

Maddow is an intellectual lightweight with a PhD using an extreme case that would never come up in today's society to try to make the guy look bad. The entire interview can be seen on the internet. The point Paul made throughout the interview is that people should not discriminate. He is right. If someone wants to have a whites or blacks only business, then so be it. Let people be free to shame the owners of these business until they are out of business. The unemployment rate shot up today and people like Maddow are worried about things that are not relevant in 2010. Maddow should be asking questions like..."How do we bring down the debt? How do we bring down unemployment? How do we bring our troops home from a never ending war in the midddle east?" These are questions that matter in 2010. The question Paul brings up is important for society today. What is the line between private and public? A leftist like Maddow thinks she is smarter than everyone and should be able to make laws governing our lives and businesses. She is actually a very dangerous person and people who are like her are dangerous to our freedoms. Paul needs to focus on freedom, employment and smaller government. Maddow and her ilk will be in the minority debating silly issues from the past. Paul will win going away.

It won't be so.....

Actually, I'm at complete peace with everything. Over the past 20 years, I have come to understand what is wrong with the mac and UofA. It isn't as much anger as it is frustration. The mac and UofA remain on a constant building process that leads to nowhere.

What does it matter? It's the posted topic......

A-freaking-men! Who in the Hell wants to go to a game and watch a fat, slow fullback who in all probability will have to get a real job after college plunge into the line for two yard gains? Same goes for the TE. Those positions are secondary. The QB is the most important player on the field. His WRs are the second. We have a QB with NFL potential. Let's use his talent.
