"So doing the Lord's work is a thread that's run through our politics since the very beginning. And it puts the lie to the notion that the separation of church and state in America means faith should have no role in public life."

That's kind of my point.

I agree with you there.

I think it is relevant to this subreddit because people think we are getting rid of religion from politics via Obama, but the whole time he is just pandering.

It is exactly this type of thinking which will doom us to mediocre candidates.

Romney is an asshole also, but I am not worried about him regarding theocratic rule.

Why not Gary Johnston?

Paul supporters are not targeted by this bot

um... are you sure about that? What about crackduck? What about dro0x9d9? I have seen others who are affected as well.

Plenty of evidence has been presented

such as?

While the thread advertising the bot was deleted on [1] /r/ronpaul (proving once more that its main moderator is a lot saner than most of the subscribers), the sale has been allowed to run its course on [2] /r/libertarian

So because r/libertarian (which do not delete any posts) didn't delete a post from an account which was 3 days old, it must have been them?

LOL @ the regular anti-Ron Paul astroturfers in this thread.

According to them, Ron Paul is no threat, and is going to lose no matter what, but yet you have people in the republican party trying to commit fraud in order to keep Paul out of the convention.

How do you astroturfers explain that?

ImJulianAssange · 16 days

Right, I forgot, I have the Libertybot downvoting my posts. Welp.

LIBERTY BOT HERE.

STUPID DETECTED.

DOWNVOTING ACCORDINGLY.

BEEP.

ImJulianAssange · 16 days

and these morons somehow expect that a private political party who sets its own rules is also somehow a democracy?

r/politics is filled with idiots (and astroturfers)

ImJulianAssange · 16 days

He is an anti-Ron Paul troll.

putupyourdukes · 16 days

Let me get the who scenario straight:

a new user goes into r/libertarian and r/ronpaul advertising a "downvote bot" for them to buy. The posts are either deleted or ignored.
1 or 2 days later, this bot goes into action in the most stupid way possible, by giving a predictable number of downvotes at a predictable time. The people who are affected at the start are obvious anti-Ron Paul trolls who use this to create drama.
without any evidence, Paul supporters are blamed.
shortly after, libertarians and Paul supporters start receiving the same downvotes. Somehow the opposition made a bot that does the same thing within a day!?
Ron Paul supporters and libertarians are still receiving downvotes to this day.
While no evidence has been shown, it's still the Ron Paul supporters who are doing it.
This thread is filled with EPS trolls who continue to push the same "story" and "facts" without anything to back themselves up. Why are they so active?

Does anyone else see this entire thing as a little suspect?

Edit: Funny how the only three replies to me so far are all EPS trolls.

Do you know what the word "idiot" means?

If that aggregate demand relies in deficit spending, we are in for a bad time eventually.

Why not just have a balanced budget?

Every bit of demand using debt is a lack of demand tomorrow, that is, unless you think we can "grow the economy" with the debt, but the fact is we are using debt just to keep us above water and consuming most of it.

You can't keep spending forever.

So you would support Boeing's decline and an Airbus monopolization of the large scale plane market?

Your argument is insane.

If you want a historical precedent, take a look at how other countries subsizies their steel industries while the US didn't.

his coins resembled too closely US dollars.

Hardly.

He was charged with counterfeiting. Using actual gold and silver.

We need Austerity in this country:

Austerity for the Military Industrial Complex
Austerity for corporate welfare
Austerity for bank bailouts

It's not austerity when you continue all of the corporate/shoddy spending and cut back on the services for tax payers which tax payers actually want.

Also: "Quoth the Krugman, Print some more."

The Paul supporters just have nothing in common with the GOP

ಠ_ಠ

so they have no reason not to drag it out as long as possible.

Ron Paul is a reactionary? He has had the same views for 30+ years.

The word "progressive" is a weasel word which means nothing.

Libertarians and democrats should almost 100% agree on Civil Liberties and war while also having the same economic views in the areas of: bailouts, corporate welfare, fiscal transparency.

Ralph Nader supports Paul, and says they agree on a lot of things, and they have closer ideas than most of the others in Washington. Dennis Kucinich is on this boat as well. When Dennis Kucinich was asked who he would run with having the closest views to him, he said "Ron Paul", when he was asked to then pick a democrat, he said "Even if I had to pick a democrat, I'd pick Ron Paul."

Care to back up those "facts"?

And don't try and regurgitate the false NYTimes/etc estimates which are way off.
