Is anyone else nervous about Ron Paul supporters?

35. The problem I see in the Pacific northwest is that they are just as vocal in real life.

It really is a religion to them, they won't listen to anything. They are undermining our progressive governments and are as rude and aggressive as the most hidebound Republican. They won't take no for an answer with their evangelical zeal.

If you make reasoned arguments as to why their solutions, which hearken back in some cases to before the Revolution, definitely before the Civil War or the progressive era, they have a list of names for you: Statist, socialist, communist, big government, union, sheeple, nanny stater, etc. When they open up it's like talking to Alex Jones.

They refuse to accept that a government is required to make a level playing field and when you dis-empower democratic governments, you invite corporations to rule everything for lack of regulation. Which means you're under the thumb of the robber barons. They demonize public health care, public schools and anyone who disagrees with them on pro-life. Libertarianism is the road to corporatism and fascism. When the dust is settled, the people live under the rule of the rich and churches in every aspect of their lives, they are not free.

There is more than one kind of authoritarian rule, such as religions and corporations but they blame government solely for that social condition. Their fall back is survival-ism and the nuclear family or clan, and if you aren't in theirs, they can do anything to you for their own.

I could rant farther but after years of arguing with them after being open to listening to their alleged anti-war talk, I found they have no objection to the greatest war of all, the war within this country to impoverish others and enslave many. That's where their free market leads. We've had that in this country, it was called the Gilded Age and the masses of people were so desperate they wanted communism.
