Please ask Bob Barr these questions.
1) What happened to make you change your opinion on the War on Drugs?
2) Why were you opposed to sick and dying people being allowed to have medicinal marijuana?
3) How many years did you work for the CIA?
4) Why did you vote yes on the Patriot Act?
5) Do you still believe it is the government's business who gets married?
6) Why did you put a Google ad on Ron Paul's forum directing his supporters to your website who were "sad" he was "no longer in the race"?
7) Are you aware that Ron Paul is still "in the race"?
8) Why should Ron Paul supporters trust you when your record and background goes against everything his supporters believe in?
and oh yeah, for a not so serious question:
9) Did you laugh when you found out you were made fun of by Borat in his movie?
second that question
Why did you put a Google ad on Ron Paul's forum directing his supporters to your website who were "sad" he was "no longer in the race"?
I wholeheartedly second that question. I see the ad on my screen right now. Pretty pathetic.
"We don't have to start a brand new revolution...All we have to do is restore the original Constitution." -Ron Paul
I would not vote for Gravel
I would not vote for Gravel but let's don't be like the MSM. Every candidate should be given time to explain his ideas and plans.
I will not vote for him
I will not vote for him either but what i want from our broadcasting is fair news for all people and lets give them the actual facts and then they should be able to decide for themselves.
No spin just facts and i am sure once people get the facts it will be easy to see through the bullcrap and make a sound decision.
After Wayne Root was on today i called the show and told everyone he was wrong on some things and our hosts agreed because we are reporting real news not propaganda!
Dr. Steve Parent
I don't know why you are having Mike Gravel
on the show? He is the complete opposite spectrum of Dr. Paul. He is further to the left of Obama, and lacks any kind of morals ie free abortions for anybody, gay marriage, free health care, legalize illegal aliens, gun control etc. None of these views follow the laws presented in the Constitution, nor do they represent any views Dr. Paul represents.He represents a complete socialist system.
Conversations are more interesting with conflict
My favorite screenwriting teacher says that drama is the conflict of values.
Besides, most of Ron Paul's positions are principled and arrived at logically, so anyone can be convinced of them by experience and/or a good conversation. I like to think everyone, except those in the grip of an illogical emotional need, can be convinced that freedom works best.

I need to add that you will
I need to add that you will only see the liten now button shortly before 3pm.
After 3pm we are up untill 2am everyday
Dr. Steve Parent
Steve: are there going to be archived mp3's of these
interviews?
I want to listen to some of them, but I wouldn't be able to do so live.
Also, make sure you grill Gravel (I don't think he fully understands what the NAP is) as well as Bob Barr (for being more conservative than libertarian).
Good luck!
You want..
.. to purge conservatives? Do you understand that Ron Paul is a conservative? Ron Paul, like Reagan, is a libertarian-conservative fusionist -- a conservative with libertarian leanings.
That's EXACTLY what Bob Barr is also...
(double post-
.
Yes, I do want to purge conservatives from the LP
I don't see what the big deal is. The LP is for libertarians. :_ )
And I don't agree that Ron Paul is a conservative. I think it's just intellectual sloth on his part for sometimes using the term.
I would argue that he is more accurately labelled a libertarian-Constitutionalist.
Oh thank you thank you!
Thank you for opening my eyes to my confusion on the issue of Ron Paul's "so called" conservatism. I am SOOOO grateful! You just can't imagine.
I'm so glad I know now that Dr. Paul has just been intellectually lazy and imprecise with his words. Man, I feel SOOO enlightened now. Thank you SO much. I feel like such a bozo for being so confused.
You and I have ALOT of work ahead of us though. I mean so many other people are confused on this issue also. We need to awaken them.
Let's see. Who do we start with? Here are just a few:
Barry Goldwater, Jr's dad, Barry Goldwater, affectionately called "Mr Conservative" (how cute!) wrote a book called the "Conscience of a Conservative". Barry, Jr. himself is often called a "stalwart conservative" said this of Ron Paul's new Manifesto book: "-- it's The Conscience of a Conservative for the 21st century.". Looks like old Barry, Jr. is QUITE "slothy" himself.
Richard Viguerie, perhaps THE most distinguished conservative left alive on the planet since William Buckley's recent passing and who is credited for LAUNCHING MODERN CONSERVATISM into the mainstream with his masterful work of LAUNCHING THE REAGAN REVOLUTION said this about Dr. Paul, "but it is clear that Ron Paul is truly a principled conservative in the grand tradition of Robert Taft, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan."
Peter Schiff simply had this to say, "Ron Paul is a real conservative"
Pat Buchanan, not a too shabby conservative himself said this about the good Doctor, "Ron Paul is a classic conservative".
Oh, and that totally silly Justin Raimondo, you know, the guy who is perhaps THE preeminent LIBERTARIAN editorialist and founder of www.antiwar.com. Man, he is lazy too! Guess what he said? He said Ron Paul is "the conscience of the conservative wing of the Republican Party". Raimondo is a giant tree SLOTH. He's SO lazy intellectually! Must be a contagious bug going around. Raimondo also had the gall to say Ron Paul's, "campaign for the White House is based in large part on a CONSCIOUS effort to revive this nearly-forgotten conservative tradition."
And even MORE slothiness on the part of The American Conservative Magazine! They had this totally lazy thing to say about Ron Paul. They said Ron Paul, "has introduced a generation of young Americans to a more traditional and true style of conservatism.” Wow, I'm going to cancel my subscription in the face of such intellectual sloth and laziness! =|
Then there is Chuck Baldwin. Ya know, everybody is being lazy and imprecise with words. I wonder if it's a conspiracy! Baldwin said Ron Paul, "currently has a 100% rating from The Conservative Index, which is probably the most relevant and accurate reflection of a congressman's true conservative record out there."
And Ron Paul himself, he keeps going around mumbling stuff about being a conservative in the tradition of Robert Taft. Wasn't Robert Taft a communist or socialist? I wonder why traditional conservatives meet monthly in Washington, D.C. at the Robert Taft Club? And why does Ron Paul show up at the meetings alot? I guess all the sloth has created an acute confusion that he just can't shake off.
Oh the humanity! There are so many more confused high-profile politicians, historians, journalists, etc. that we have a HUGE task ahead of us in correcting their laziness. Maybe we should just stop adding to the list for now and work on the ones I mentioned? We can add many more later.
Or, perhaps it's YOU that is intellectually "slothy" and lacking in knowledge of the precise meaning of the terms used to describe conservatism and libertarianism. Ya think? Perhaps maybe? =)
Oh, and your apparent lack of knowledge of the close symbiotic relationship historically between conservatism and libertarianism and also of the coexistence of conservatives and libertarians in the Libertarian Party is quite telling. Perhaps as a start you should go dig around www.lewrockwell.com a bit more often. ;)
Mart, I didn't state that what I said is the absolute truth...
Just my perspective.
What definition of conservative do you use?
I ask, because I think that Ron definitely does not fit the term as it is used commonly today.
That it was I was basing my above post on. :_)
Right..
.. Ron Paul is not a neo-conservative. Neocons are not conservatives at ALL. They are ultra-liberal ex-trotskyite communists who switched from the democratic party in the 70's after the Scoop Jackson campaign for the president.
Reagan DESPISED the neocons that Bush Sr. injected into the White House. They kept trying to push Reagan to start a real war with the Soviet Union.
Keep in mind that Bush Sr., Nixon and the Rockefellers, etc. were called "liberal republicans" and "internationalist republicans" back in the day.
Here is a good outline/definition of US conservatism:
http://conservativehq.com...
Also, this quote from Reagan is very helpful and useful:
"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism... The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is."
Pure libertarians don't think conservatives go far enough on certain issues but conservatism gets libertarians closer to their own goals so they agree to unite with them. But then again, pure anarchical libertarians are really a minority even among those who label themselves libertarian. "Fusionism" is the most common strain and is a fusion of conservatism and libertarianism and that fusion has defined modern conservatism going back to at least the 1950's.
Thanks for the link there Mart. Regarding the definition
of conservative that is given--it's way too long for my liking.
If one sentence, how would you define "conservative"?
I'm curious because I have yet to see that done with the philosphy of conservatism (nor liberalism).
Cheers
Umm..
.. Ron Paul =)
Reagan's quote is a good one-liner that captures the essence:
"The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom"
Conservatism is actually "classical liberalism" (see Edmund Burke and the "Old Whigs").
During the 1700's the classical liberals broke into two camps. The conservatives led by Edmund Burke, and the French Jacobians, who are considered the forerunners of communism.
Keeping in mind that back then the context of "liberalism" was a liberal moving away from the old monarchical birthright royal order.
When defining "conservatism" and "liberalism" it is very important to take the meanings in their historical and national context. Generally, "liberal" means fast change and "conservative" means slower change. Liberals are quicker and more apt to totally destroy the entire social and political order to effect change and conservatives want to go slower and be more thoughtful and transition with less catastrophic upheaval.
British and American conservatism was born out of the libertarian movements of the 17th century in Britain(google "Cato's Letters") and has specific libertarian characteristics not defined by the general term "conservatism".
Also, do not confuse British libertarianism with modern American "libertarians" or the Libertarian Party which have much stronger anarchical undertones than British libertarianism.
Okay...that's not bad as a definition
But still, I find conservative and liberal to be such weak terms (and philosophies) because they are not based on philosophical axioms (like libertarianism is).
Just look where the lack of philosophy in politics hasn't gotten us...
What's your take on this Mart?
That is your opinion and
That is your opinion and this is exaclty why we need a reliable news source to allow people to make decisions from the FACTS NOT THE SPIN.
Come listen to the show today. It is in 10 minutes
Dr. Steve Parent
Mart i do not support Bob
Mart i do not support Bob Barr and will not vote for him and our shows are going to have fair but tough questions.
We will not refuse a guest especially if we have the chance to get answers to the questions they may not want to talk about.
Some people do support him and those people should be able to hear his views and see if the agree with him or not.
You will not get the MSM spin on our network.
This is what true news is and if Mccain came on our show he would be asked how can you call yourself a conservative, why does he want us in Iraq for 1000 years etc.....
As i stated this network is going to be a true news network not a RON PAUL only network. We will continue to promote Dr. Paul but if we are going to educate more people of his platform we can not continue to have a preach to the chior 24/7 broadcast.
Dr. Steve Parent
Yes we want to archive our
