“This is “intellectual heft”?”

I agree with Yoshi. A marriage is a business contract. Period. If a couple wants a church to “sanctify” the marriage, so be it. But otherwise marriage should fall entirely under contract law.

He has a lot of interesting ideas about why government is the way it is. And why it is so difficult to reverse the tide of progressivism.

Hint: it has to do with the permanent civil service government controlling the elected politicians and their appointees.

Rand Paul, even if elected, won’t be able to change a thing.

I wish it were not so.

I’ll be the first to say I do not know shit about economics.

So somebody tell me. Has the United States ever practiced the kind of economics proposed by Ron and Rand? Exactly what in the hell are they talking about?

“Yet again another Federal Reserve conspiracy theorist nut job- just what america needs- someone to lead us back to the boom and bust cycles (that make our current recession look like a picnic)”

Seriously…you think the federal reserve actually stopped this recession from being worse rather than being the main component of it all? Conspiracy nut jobs we may be, but at least we don’t buy into the bullshit that the federal reserve actually knows what the fuck it is doing. The FED has done nothing to stop boom and bust cycles. It’s artificial lowering of interest rates has created booms followed by explosions.

I find it very interesting, that on the Internet, if one does not share the same opinion of another, it often drops into a juvenile game of name calling. I guess the other 300+ that support the audit the fed bill are just as stupid as DR’s Paul. LOL!

Hey, Bub, we live in a democracy, and in a democracy the “eyes” have it.

How on Earth does being a “practicing ophthalmologist in western Kentucky” make you a “known quantity” ?? I mean, maybe western Kentucky only has one ophthalmologist, but if my eye doctor ran for Congress, I probably wouldn’t even recognize his name.

If we’re lucky, in 100 years we’ll have no more state. If they still exist, we might have them out of marriage and the business of “who’s going out with whom.”

P.S. The Fed needs to be open to public audit. No conspiracy, just sound business and responsible government as communicated to me during anal probing by Kodos and Kang.

Marriage is nothing more than a contract between two consenting (for the most part) persons.

One of the questions I like to throw at the anti-gay marriage crowd: “If you met two homosexuals on the street and they told you they were “married to each other”, who are you to proclaim them not married?” If you claim they cannot be married then you have no choice but to acquiesce to the permissions of the government in your own marriage.

A free person doesn’t have any need for permissions when deciding who to marry.
