Why Won't Ron Paul Quit?

I'll spare you the rehash of Mainstream Media theories.  You've probably heard them all.  Ron Paul continues on, in my opinion, for two reasons: 

1.  He's building a Movement.  Movements have patience.  He was branded a lunatic in 2008, half-serious in 2012, and what of 2016?   I think Paul's organization will be utilized by the next Paul Libertarian as big leap towards establishing a serious Third Party challenge.   

A Movement isn't dependent on Cult of Personality, rather, those who share ideology.  What if Paul is paving the way for future Libertarians?  Then, Ron Paul becomes the seminal first Presidential candidate for what turned into the first competitive Third Party candidate in modern history.  If that were to happen, Ron Paul gets a big ol' hat-tip in tomorrow's history books!

2.  He's waiting for every other candidate to be called out, politically destroyed, or indicted for their various massive cronyism and corruptions.  I think Ron Paul intends on being the true Last Man Standing.

That's just my two drachmas, worth just as much.

Go Ahead, Punk: Make My Gay!

Clint Eastwood: ‘I don’t give a f*ck’ if gays marry.  Awesome.  From Raw Story.  Excerpts:

Don't expect to see him marching in a Pride parade anytime soon, but gays may have found an unexpected ally in Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood.
..
"These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage?" Eastwood opined. "I don't give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of."



"They go on and on with all this bullshit about 'sanctity' -- don't give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want."

It's nice to see some old-school Republicans still exist, and that a few feel compelled to speak up.  Eastwood's right:  We have bigger problems than who kisses who.  Please..  Get the fuck over it and concentrate on the many, many real problems our country faces! 

Remember:  We won't stop circling the drain until we fix America's Real problems, and deal with America's Real Enemies.  And they ain't the boys and girls who hang out at those bars in the bad parts of town.  Deal with it. 

Just for this, I'll rent Gran Torino, after all..
