"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
surprising? no
The Truth will still not convince some people... to them, their belief out-trumps the Truth.
Hail, Hail!!!
isn't there a word for people like that?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
haha! yes, i didn't think of that one, but that's a good one too!
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
'truthiness' (noun)
1 : "truth that comes from the gut, not books" (Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," October 2005)
2 : "the quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than concepts or facts known to be true" (American Dialect Society, January 2006)

Hail, Hail!!!
that's what hurts Dr Paul more than anything in my opinion. it puts his mainstream supporters completely off.
Research the Federal Reserve Bank, its operations, the amount of power it has, its origin and who created it, and you will uncover one of the greatest "conspiracies" ever pulled on the American people.
Cliff notes version: it was created by THE Robber Barons, the heads of the most powerful business and banking interests the country has ever seen: Rockefeller, JP Morgan, Paul Warburg, etc... in secret meetings on Jeckyll Island, Georgia. I know these guys aren't very popular on this board, or anywhere really. But facts are facts. The Central Bank of this country was the brainchild of these very powerful men, and the Federal Reserve Act was pushed through by their guys in Congress, and their president, Woodrow Wilson. Why was it created? To serve the public interest, of course!
The issue of the Fed is central to Ron Paul's campaign for restoring liberty and constitutional government, and a sensible non-interventionist foreign policy for America. And yes, it is a very legit "conspiracy." Anyone who can wrap their heads around a TRUE conspiracy FACT of this magnitude will likely find conspiracy in other aspects of the actions of their government.
Sometimes, people's imaginations can get away with them, yes. With hundreds of glaring examples of government acting on the whims of special interests over the people, who can blame their mistrust?
Who is more delusional, people who find conspiracy in every action of their government or people who firmly believe that their government is always there to serve them?
I'm a firm believer in the more power government has, the more appealing it is to co-opt that power by special interests, and that it does happen 100% of the time as a result.
My message to the "birthers" is, why try to put an end to Obama administration on a technicality? Challenge him on his policies and the constitutionality of them, and defeat his ideas if you disagree with them. If he were removed from office, Joe Biden is your president. I don't see the policies and the ideas changing much with him.
good post Vinny, and i agree with you. you are especially spot on with the last paragraph.
haha ... the guy spelt the name wrong twice too ... hahaha ... unfortunately, many people soaked this one up ...
