The General Law on Population is generally archaic and rarely enforced, and has nothing to do with the United States’ laws on immigration; i.e., it is not a response to it.

Mexico has in fact amended The General Law on Population recently to reflect more progressive thinking and to avoid hypocrisy.

http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/notas/421866.html

The Mexican government has completely eliminated articles 119, 120 and 127 as of April 2007.

The remaining articles are common sense laws that apply to any country.

Where is this free-market that’s supposedly taking care of our health care needs? 47 million people don’t have health coverage. They lose their house and homes when they get ill/injured, and/or rack up massive amounts of debt. What is your free market doing about that right now? Why should we expect it to be any different when libertarians rule the world?

The truth in what you say is absolutly right. I think this piece of writing is only useful when people react to it. To say that people are dying for your right to write this sort of stuff is ridiculous. Iraqis and Afghans have never threatened your rights to write this sort of stuff.

Is there anyone in the military or closely linked to the military out there that isn’t right wing? Does anyone out there take a step back and wonder why we are there? It seems easy to say freedom and that stuff but how much freedom have they gained over there with us? None I reckon. We have simply replaced a leader who was unpalatable to us with one that is! The ordinary Iraqi or Afghan doesn’t come into the equation once!

This breakdown of contributors confirms what is already know, and that is that the most educated and politically savvy military people are in the Navy and Air Force, not the army or marines. But I am very glad to see that all branches of the military support Ron Paul over any of the other candidates.”

You, my friend, need an ass-kicking - the Marines are the smallest DoD branch and therefore obviously contribute less. As for the Army, well, we’ve always had our doubts about them…
GO NAVY BEAT ARMY

John McCain is clearly focused on one thing and one thing only - WAR. He lives for it, he loves it, he’s obsessed by it, it is his entire identity. He is a Post Traumatic Stress, hot-headed and unstable egotisitcal lunatic who cares nothing about the will of the American people. He is loyal to his big corporate backers and his backers make a killing off of war, war and more war.

In his own words, “Friends, I want to give you some straight talk. Friends, there are going to be more wars. I’m sorry to tell you, but there are going to be more wars…”. Wow. Interesting Foriegn Policy approach there, John. Glad to know our tax money will be used wisely.

After 2004 it became apparent to me what I had been trying to forget after the 2000 election, that much of America is just not paying attention. It would be foolish to assume that this time around they have turned off “American Idol” and are really going to think this one through. McCain appeals to fear coupled with Amerian imperial arrogance. McCain, like Bush before him, can win. We cannot let that happen.

Unfortunately Hilary Clinton represents the exact same special interests that McCain does. They should run on the same ticket. Actually, come to think of it I take that back. Hilary Clinton represents Hilary Clinton. McCain represents those corporate interests that can most benefit by America expanding it’s empire through military aggression.

There is only one serious contender who is sane and that is Ron Paul. He did not support the invasioin of Iraq. He did not support NAFTA, amnesty for illegal aliens and he did not suppor the Patriot Act. He has consistently kept his campaign promises for each of the 10 terms he has served in the United States Congress.

Barack Obama will likely be our next President. I feel he is a good man and I would take him over McCain any day. However, this is not a Socialist country. We need to get back to the values of the Founding Fathers and the ideas put forth in the Constitution. The Ron Paul phenomenon is the beginning of a much larger and far-reaching revolution in America.

John McCain is a huge step in the wrong direction. He and his Neo-Con allies have hijacked the country and the time has come for us to take it back.

Someone who speaks in straight talk doesn’t have to keep reminding you that it’s straight talk. They just speak the truth.

As for me, I’m voting for Ron Paul.

None…

I just hope he is not hurt in any way by these nazis. Look what they are doing to him in the media.

We should put the heat on these people so that they get under the rocks they came from.

I think the tide is turning and they are now in a vocal minority. Facing the silent MAJORITY.

Im a Sikh man from the UK. The US has a priceless gift in the form of Ron Paul. Please protect him with all the tools available to you. Because they have only 1 option left, that is to remove Ron Paul and forget about it in their media.

Its time to state to these Nazis that if you so much as even think about it that a peoples army made up of men, women, children and the old will bring those responsible to a peoples justice without quater.

God bless the great nation of America,god bless its people who stand for its true charichter and god bless Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is a false savior for Republicans who have turned against the war. This is a time like 1992, when it’s time for intelligent Republicans and libertarians to turn to the Democrats.

“The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens — and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, illegal and illegal. Under the constitution, the Ley General de Población, or
General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.”

It say’s in the article that it is quoting the General Law on Population and that this law is under the jurisdiction of the Mexican Constitution. The fact that you are upset that you thought the article was saying it was sourced from the Mexican Constitution is a strange aberation. Ok, now that you know the article says this what do you say to that? Is this article false and if so, why?

sound more like some dillusional guy or a propagandist.

oh, and dr. paul OWNS bernake. why dont you check the youtube vids out.

I know this topic died down over a month ago, but I hope to see you come back, maybe say a few things about it.

“209) Wrong. ‘mentally masturbate’ isn’t possible. If it was can you ‘prove’ I did it.

210) Do you even care about intellectual honesty?

211) Purple monkey dishwasher.”

I think our crazy governments take over our lives, and we just get stuck on this crazy ride with them.

Thank you for being our allies in this critical mission.

Much love -

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!

Well you know someone once said to me “People who constantly use profanity in their everyday conversations do this because because their vocabulary is limited.”

And it’s also true that when some folks become hostile and resort to name calling while debating, its only because their “knowledge” is limited.

Have a HAPPY NEW 2008!!! and GO RON GO!!!

Sand and mcsjr333. The one thing you have to grateful about regarding this dialogue with Freddy is that he keeps you on your toes and even more well informed than ever before. Thanks Freddy.

And see if you can sit through this entire documentary .

The ONLY Republican in the debate better than any other Republican and Democrat IS Dr. Ron Paul - he will not only end the war, but he will preserve freedom and he won’t bend the knee to BIG CORPORATES the way the other Republicans and Democrats do.

Banning student visas is purely symbolic, anyway. We need their oil exports more than they need our education. There are plenty of universities around the world. There is limited oil.

I don’t think economic sanctions work, but if any do, this might. In an emergency where cooperation with Saudi Arabia is important in fighting terrorism, this is better than promising weapons.

This is the sort of language and propaganda you hear from Giuliani and Tancredo. Not Ron Paul.

It’s inconsistent with Ron Paul’s rhetoric. The problem isn’t in denying visas. It is in calling a nation a “terrorist nation”. Like I mentioned before, it’s the same propaganda used to justify the war on terror. Therefore, I do not approve of it.

What’s your problem? The fact that he said something that isn’t “nice”? The ad hits the spot of what his border policy is: Get control over it! There’s noting “bad” about this ad.

These are terrorist nations as defined by Congress, but even denying student visas will not mean that the US couldn’t accept other types of visas or political refugees.

Paul is not a flip-flopper, but he knows how to hit the emotion buttons. He didn’t stay in Congress for 20 years by playing nice. This is what I paid for. This is a shrewd move to gain support, and I think it is just right.

There really is no doubt that the moderators manipulate digg.com for their own agenda.

What does that say, other than a moderator manipulating what is going on?

I also know that if you call them out on it they will ban you…as what happened to me.

If you actually proved me wrong and I haven’t responded, it’s probably because I didn’t get to a particular issue, yet. Sometimes it’s not worth the effort to comb for your statements that don’t involve mischaracterizations or logical fallacies. By the way, I’m not saying you are illogical. It may be your intention to respond fallaciously. People sometimes use fallacious arguments because sometimes they escape notice and appear to win arguments at the surface.

It’s not hypocritical as long as you accept that Ron Paul deviates considerably from current “conservatives” in policy and spending; and that Democrats have their share of contributions to our financial troubles.

“Do you at least agree that anyone moronic enough to DENY evolution (like Huckabee) is simply too much of a moron to be president? (or too controlled by Pat Robertson to be president)?”

For the most part, yes. I think we can make exceptions to people who are willing to examine the evidence, however. I’m not sure Huckabee would ever do so. Whereas, I think Ron Paul might actually be trying to be neutral about evolution.

//”Actually, I was offended by FOX News’ distortions of Obama’s childhood”

“Distortions”? They were outright LIES. Why make it sound better than it was?”//

Not necessarily. Obama did grow up in Indonesia, so I can’t call that a lie. Instead, I can infer from the tone of the reports that it was intended to suggest something negative. However, many of the things they reported about Obama were blatant lies. I don’t mean to diminish what FOX News did. I’m just not going to engage in an absolutist statement saying it was all a complete lie as that would be strictly inaccurate. Though I can agree that it could be characterized overall as a lie.

“The problem you made for yourself when you hurled that term is that “partisan” has two meanings- one positive and one negative. Did you mean “a firm adherent to a party, faction, cause, or person? Or did you mean “one exhibiting blind, prejudiced, and unreasoning allegiance” Do you admit that you were, at the very least, unclear?”

I meant the later. Sorry if I was unclear. However, I’m beginning to sense that perhaps I was too harsh in my judgment, as you are, on occasion, willing to make more subtle distinctions instead of only absolutist statements about Republicans.

None that I am aware of. If they come up, I think you would agree that they deserve to be considered.

Ron Paul > Most Democrats > Most Republicans.

Remember, in recent history, a Republican-controlled Congress has FAILED to reduce the deficit except under divided government- when the president was that mighty deficit cutter, President Clinton. A Republican-controlled Congress under a Republican President FAILED to cut the deficit, especially when the President is one of the worst in history- Republican G W Bush.

So, on balance, the Democratic Congress has proved to be far better at reducing spending and reducing the deficit, because they could do it even when their party had total control of the executive and the legislative. Republicans failed to do that under six years of total control of the executive and the legislative. “

I agree. That’s why I will be voting for Ron Paul in the primaries. He is unlike any other candidate when it comes to spending.
