Realdeal, I was going to put a long winded thing about how regular your philosophies are, and what a pathetic, one side reading brainwash victim you are, but that would be giving you too much respect. You're a fucking idiot. Read something outside of the Ron Paul cult reading list. I actually read a huge variety of historical sources, which is what makes your silly little "left wing brainwashing" argument so hillariously ironic.
Read a book, then we can debate. Until you understand basic shit, we have nothing to talk about. Maybe start with the gilded age or "what happened when people tried that Austrian style bullshit in America!"
Wow Gipper, I'm actually disappointed after this recent ridiculous rant of yours. It's funny because TheRealDeal isn't even a staunch Ron Paul supporter like I am. He obviously respects him and it's clear to see that he's the main voice within the mainstream political spectrum injecting real issues and exposing the banking oligarchy and the military industrial complex as well as pointing out the faults and corruptions of BOTH parties. I mean the guy has been very outspoken about the loss of civil liberties via The Patriot Act and NDAA and has fought against both as well as fighting for internet freedom long before bills like SOPA, PIPA and the current CISPA bill. In fact he was critical of such legislation back before it was popular, when internet censorship was being sold as a good thing because it was supposedly only against online pornography and gambling. He's been ultra critical of our failed foreign policy and perpetual wars overseas, voting against all of the kinetic actions in iraq, afghanistan and pakistan, of course libya as well but Dictator Obama(even taking a step further than Dictator Bush) doesn't think he even needs to consult the congress(or the American people) he claims he just gets his authority from the UN and Nato so there was no vote on lybia unfortunately, in fact Dennis Kucinich tried to sue the current administration for this but of course the supreme court shot it down. Paul has also continued to point out the obvious war propaganda for war with iran, which is increasingly similar to what we heard in the lead up to the iraq war, which turned out to be used for war profiteering, and the loss of privacy and liberties here in America.
As far as Austrian and free market economics are concerned, they have not ever been properly(ie slavery, tariffs) practiced within America and have been completely ignored since the institution of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, when America's monetary policy was handed over to a private central bank.
I really thought you would be more educated on such things Gipper, as for TheRealDeal, the guy is a nerd, he attended to school here in the states and abroad, reads a ton and is very educated and I believe used to look at things via a leftist perspective like you until his education on such matters grew and progressed past that. To paint him with such a brush as a "Ron Paul cultist" is not only unfair but you're simply wrong. Now me, sure you could lump me into that category if you'd like, I barely graduated from high school and just ended up working my way up in my business. I back Ron Paul hard, and have since 2007, I'm a Ron Paul delegate in Virginia's 11th district in fact. As I pointed out earlier he's the main guy in the mainstream dropping hammers against the corruption of the big banks/corporations and the military industrial complex and the current war against civil liberties in the name of security(ie the phony war on terror), and he has been for 30 years. I can't speak for TheRealDeal but I can say with absolute certainty that neither him nor I tow either party line, in fact we're both very critical of both parties and feel bad for those who get suckered into either system because they've both proven to be failures and to back stab America and the American people.
Anyway Gipper, if you'd like we should continue these debates outside of Slap because no one here really gives a shit, obviously the 3 of us are passionate about such matters. You'll definitely get one of the first copy's of our video, plus we borrowed the title from one of your progressive heroes I'm sure
