Ron Paul: Bringing the Crazy.

If you have not been to ronpaul2008.com, Ron Paul's wikipedia page, or the List of Ron Paul's Political Positions I suggest you read them. Ron Paul raised $4.2 million yesterday which is impressive given that he has a touch of the crazy. Before any of you join the "Man, I hate paying Income Taxes...vote Ron Paul!" bandwagon of insanity here is some useful information.

Privacy v. Abortion:
Ron Paul wants to overturn Roe v. Wade. "I think we ought to return the issue to the states so that local opinions could better determine the specific regulations concerning this deeply personal issue." The problem is that Roe v. Wade ruling was based on privacy, "According to the Roe decision, most laws against abortion in the United States violated a constitutional right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment." According to ronpaul2008.com Ron paul maintains a strong belief in privacy and personal liberty. So Ron Paul wants to overturn Roe v. Wade (a ruling based on upholding personal privacy) yet also argues that personal privacy is important and must be protected. So apparently he'll wave the privacy flag so long as doing so harms no zygotes.

Religion:
The War On Religion by Rep. Ron Paul, MD:

"The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government’s hostility to religion. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life."

Given that the statement is obviously and self-evidently, historically, and demonstrably false there is no need to elaborate. But, on a related issue...

Constitutionalist Libertarian:
Ron Paul's schooling is in Medicine and after his graduation from Duke University School of Medicine his residency was "in obstetrics and gynecology". So, while I would trust him to inspect my vagina I don't think I would trust him to interpret the Constitution.

Birthright Citizenship:
Ron Paul wants to end birthright citizenship. "As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong." While that may seem sensible in some situations, if made retroactive this would mean that no one is a U.S. Citizen.

But not all bad:
On the plus side, Ron Paul voted against a flag burning ammendment, votes against internet regulation, and wants to shrink the government significantly.

So, in summary?
While lower taxes and a smaller government which eliminates needless social programs does sound like a blessing, a theocracy led by a gynecologist would probably not behoove anyone.

LaBOOOOOOF!

Shia LaBoof arrested at Chicago Walgreens.

According to the arresting officer, "First of all, the All Spark is the Transformers afterlife. Secondly, in a TRANSFORMERS movie the main character ought to be, oh, I don't know, a fucking TRANSFORMER! And who the fuck kept shaking the damn camera?!"

The Walgreens manager who made the call was reported as saying, "In the movie LaBoof's dog pees on a Transformer, which is an entirely appropriate summarization of the entire movie."

An uninvolved third party reportedly yelled, "Hey LaBoof, do you masturbate?" as the young star was led out of the store.

As LaBoof was placed in the squad car it screamed, "Are you username: LadiesMan217?"

LaBoof was then shot in the back of the head.

In a related story, Megan Fox was found dead in her apartment. While first reports speculated that she her death was the result of fucking a Camero, an autopsy revealed that she had actually never been alive, but was rather a puppet operated by Charlie Sheen.
