"Don't have a gun"
???
I couldn't imagine him ever trying to hurt anyone, but it's still surprising to me. I remember he raised his hand at one of the debates last year when all the candidates were asked if they own a gun.
I've never heard this Mancow character before, but he seems
like an Alex Jones wannabe, but without the class.

Mancow is more like a Howard
Mancow is more like a Howard Stern. Actually, he's Stern's #1self-proclaimed rival. Supposedly he's "conservative", but he did support Bush heavily. So he's more so "Republican" than "conservative". His show is one of the largest syndicated morning radio talk shows in the US. I'm sure he has a market of millions of listeners, and he's based out of Chicago. That's about all I know about him.

I don't think he did anything wrong. He had RP answer
questions on issues he didn't understand and then educate him and his listeners about how it works in WDC. I think it was a very good interview.

I agree
The people upset about Dr Paul being asked about this, apparently don't realize that a study came out and showed that he had the highest amount of earmarks among ALL Republicans. This is news. Naturally, the media is going to have to bring up this newsworthy item and give Dr. Paul a chance to respond to it. It's not as if Dr. Paul is being singled out just because of who he is, but because he was #1 in the list.

"The Federal Reserve Banks should simply be regarded as governmental agencies." -Murray Rothbard
"I now call the Federal Reserve the fourth branch of government." -Ron Paul
I don't think that people understand how earmarks work
Ron does a pretty good job of explaining it here. Neil Cavuto and the RIP Tim Russert did the same thing. They simply don't understand how Govt works.

earmarks/pork (mancow - no pun intended)
i think rp explains it best in his blog post where (paraphrasing) he says:
people think that congressmen get together, tally their earmarks/pork and that the sum of the earmarks/pork DETERMINES the size of a spending bill, when in reality, the size of the bill is determined FIRST and THEN congressmen allocate/direct PORTIONS of the SPENDING bill (earmarks).
it never really hit home until i read that.
the usual argument rp makes ("letting the executive determine how to spend the money is a lack of oversight") didn't hit home, cuz it still sounded like earmarks were INCREASING the overall spending of the bill.

I pledge, do you?
Mancow
Is OK. I know how belligerent he is at times. I was surprised that he has fallen prey to the big media assertion the Dr. Paul is a big pork man. He is usually smarter than that. I didn't like the way this started off. Questioning the integrity of the Honorable Doctor.
Let's admit that he gave the Dr. lot's of time to speak. A good uninterrupted talk time.
If you listen to Mancow and Cassidy in Chicago on the WLS 890 you will find that he is sounding the alarms about tryanny in our country. He rips on the goverment all the time. Cassidy is the straight man who would love to get thrown on the cattle car and would not notice a problem until the tracks suddenly end in a "gated community".
Thanks...
Mancow Robespierre.
He, Beck, and Boortz are leading the false revolution. They always say, "I'm on your side!" Then they disparage you for exactly what they claim to agree with you about.
Who is this idiot???
What an EGO FREAK!!
Here is Ron Paul who been a symbol of integrity for these years of doing government well being crossed by a self important egomaniac.
HEY MANCOW...Go call Nancy Pelosi and ask her how to stretch a face...if she could stretch our tax dollars as far as she stretches her face (nice facelift Nancy) we would be in good shape.
Jeez, what an idiot this Mancow is...

mancow
i'd say he's 20% idiot, 80% friend.
he did an interview with rp during the primaries where mancow, after hearing what rp had to say, pretended to have a mancrush on rp. it was pretty funny. all in jest and respect.
i'd say mancow, as an interviewer, HAS to challenge rp on the earmarks, cuz mancow, as the interviewer, represents the sheeple's point of view. their reservations on rp have to be aired before they can believe what he says.
I pledge, do you?
Good one.
Although its annoying because Mancow is an idiot and did a horrible job when RP was on during the campaign. I liked RP's assertion that the previous administration was doing worse. Mancow, still into the red hat/blue hat thing, let that one go, lol.

Dr. Paul says AGAIN, the Fed "is a fourth branch of government."
I get attacked for saying things like this on this site, disputing the claim that it's a private institution, but when Dr. Paul says it somehow it's ok with everybody. It's ironic how disconnected most people on this site are from Dr. Paul's actual ideas - being that this is the Daily"Paul".

Dr Paul is speaking
figuratively, and expects us to not be stiff and ham-handed in our handling of his words.
It's not figuratively.
It's actuality. The Fed has governmental control over money, established by Congress.

It's a 4th branch because its been granted monopoly power.
RP doesn't claim that the member banks are not owned by private interests (how could he?), and has consistently acknowledged that the primary beneficiary of this "system" is the cartel that runs it. It is a private cartel that has been granted monopoly power by the government, hence his characterization of it as a "fourth branch."
Talk about disconnected! My suggestion? Read some of Dr. Paul's books, such as "The Revolution: A Manifesto" or any of the books he recommends. Try some Rothbard for starters.

When has Dr. Paul ever
"acknowledged that the primary beneficiary of this "system" is the cartel that runs it."? That's not true either. Member banks who owns stock in the Federal Reserve only receive a 6% dividend for the investment, limited by law. The primary beneficiary of the Fed is the GOVERNMENT. How do you think the welfare/warfare state is financed? Dr. Paul maintains over and over that the Fed is responsible for the growth of government. The Fed send their profits, as well as the money they "print," over to the Treasury. It's nothing more than an elaborate system to get free money to politicians to spend, by making IT LOOK LIKE it's not the government that's printing the money for itself. The Fed cannot in any meaningful way be considered distinct from the government.
You're talking to the wrong person requesting me to read Rothbard. I've read lots of him and even have a personally autographed copy of one of his books.

Where is your thread on this?
I cant find it. I think we need to have a serious discussion about this until everyone at least understands our side of this argument. A 'private' fed would not be a bad thing at all, this is what many people on the dailypaul do not understand. They use fallacious phrases like "the Fed is no more federal than federal express". I think this is gravely erroneous. I mean is this phrase supposed to cast the private sector in a negative light? Federal express is a great enterprise. On the other hand, the fed is not private. If it were, it would need to be beneficial in order to remain in business.

On many occasions. . .
"The Revolution: A Manifesto" being only one.
Somehow, I'm not believing you about reading "lots" of Rothbard. His body of work on the subject of the Fed is entirely devoted to its being an agency of the cartel, who pick its board members, dictate its actions, and profit therefrom. It is private in EVERY meaningful sense. Why on earth do you claim its not? Because the cartel has been formalized and granted the backing of government police power? Silly.
Kudos to you for at least owning a book of Rothbard's autographed by the great man. Which one is it? Care to sell?

You're very uninformed.
How is an institution that's protected by law from competition in creating money "private in every meaningful sense?" How is an institution whose CEO is appointed by the President of the U.S. "private in every meaningful sense?" How is his salary being capped at around 180K by law make the institution "private in every meaningful sense?" How does the fact that it's required to turns over all its profits (net income) to the Treasury make it "private in every meaningful sense?"
Apparently you don't know much about the Fed at all if you thought it was "private in every meaningful sense."
The ironic thing is some of you guys think you've uncovered a secret that the Fed is "private," when that's not the secret. That's what they want you to think. The secret is that it's NOT private. As Dr. Paul says, it's a "fourth arm of the government."

"I now call the Federal Reserve the fourth branch of government." -Ron Paul
LOL, Why Do You Pretend You Know Something About This?
I've been studying economics and the Fed, and written about it, for well over three decades. You're apparently deliberately missing the point. Yes, it's been granted government authority, and the President selects a chairman based on a list given to him by the banks. But that simply means, as is painfully obvious, that the agents of the cartel are now given the authority government and monopoly power over the nation's currency . . . Ron Paul (who you appear not to be overly familiar with) says it's a "fourth arm" of government for precisely the reason I stated above. It is an agency of the cartel, which has been granted monopoly authority over the monetary system.
Again, you need to read some of the Rothbard you claim to possess (or any scholarly history of the Fed) in order to get more familiar with it. Sorry, your shallow observation betrays a total unfamiliarity with the subject; no crime in itself, but very odd since you seem to want to engage as if you actually were schooled in the subject. The Fed is, in Rothbard's words, the federal cartelization of the influential major banks.

You even now admit that
"the agents of the cartel are now given the authority government and monopoly power over the nation's currency..."
So how the hell does that equate with being "private in every meanginful sense."?
It looks like your problem here is you just don't know what "private" enterprise means. It means complete disconnection from the state. The Fed is SO connected with the state that it's NOT private in any meaningful sense. It's part of the government in a very real and meaningful sense. It's an arm of the government that extracts wealth from the private sector to expand the welfare/warfare state.

Exactly!
I appreciate that you are speaking out on this issue. I agree 100% and I think it discredits our entire move towards liberty to be attacking private ownership. You outlined the precise definition of 'private' that I use. Please dailypaul, understand this fallacy. Please end it with the whole "No more federal than federal express" nonsense.

you and flame don't get it
Being "private" is fine -just don't waltz about like you are a government entity. The FED is privately owned, but enjoys a monopoly enforced by law.
Can you understand how unconstitutional and immoral this arrangement is?
Can you understand the deceit and trickery (used by the FED) compared to open and honest privately owned entrepreneurial business practices?

woo hoo!
Ron Paul recommends a book
Ron Paul recommends a book called "The Creature From Jekyll Island." If you haven't read it and are serious about understanding the history and purpose of the Federal Reserve, then you should. The money isn't free. It comes with interest paid by taxpayers. Taxpayers also pay the hiddden inflation tax as a result of the printing of fiat money.
I know that taxpayers are who
suffer from this because inflation is a tax. But who benefits from this? The politicians and who spend it to grow the government. The Fed is the lifeblood of big government.
