My name's Justin, and I'm a Buddhist. I take bits from Hindu, and Taoist philosophy as well though. I blog about religion, politics, philosophy, and whatever else I feel like blogging about. I've grown a lot over the years, but I'm still far from where I want to be. If you have any questions then ask away! Don't be shy.

Ron Paul 2016!
Oh yeah Gary Johnson 2012<3
So Romney has Paul Ryan for his VP pick?
What a joke.
Libertarian Gary Johnson for president!

Paul Krugman Debunks Mitt Romney’s Economic Nonsense
ZAKARIA: All this said and done, are you enthusiastic about President Obama? You were not for him in the Democratic primary four years ago.
KRUGMAN: Right. I mean, we’re a long way past where I think enthusiasm is the appropriate emotion for anything here.
But he’s learned a lot. And, you know, his heart’s always been in the right place, and I believe his head is now in the right place. And you certainly — of course, I can’t do endorsements, right? It’s a Times rule. So you have no idea who I prefer in this election.
(LAUGHTER)
But he certainly is talking sense about the economy, and Mitt Romney is talking utter nonsense. And you really do worry. In effect…
ZAKARIA: What is the single biggest piece of nonsense that Mitt Romney…
KRUGMAN: Mitt Romney is saying basically that spending cuts are how we’re going to get to prosperity. Mitt Romney is saying, see what’s happening in Greece and in Portugal and in Spain and in Ireland; let’s do that here.
Boy — you know, we’ve just had a massive test, human experimentation on a massive scale, in effect, alternative doctrines of economic management. We’ve just seen which doctrines are disastrous. And the Republican platform is, let’s put that doctrine that has just caused collapse in Europe — let’s put that doctrine into effect right here in America.
Look at those SAVAGE spending cuts Paul Krugman…
Stop trying to turn more people in sheeple…
Look at the libertarian children making fun of me OH NOES
Yeah, actually nowhere did I say that my law degree makes me an expert on anything. I think it is a bit rich that an 18, 22, and 19 year old are laughing at someone else for not knowing much about politics. Go ahead, vote libertarian, I really don’t give a flying fuck, your candidate is not a libertarian, and when you wake up and realize what an insufferable douche you were voting for Ron Paul you will still be pathetic morons. Now scurry along to whatever internet crevice you crawled out of and have a nice day. Very successful trolling by the way! 1 whole like by some pathetic girl who couldn’t even respond to me about Ron Paul and had no words for explaining away his racism. Way to go!
livealifethatscompletelyfree <—- go to that girl’s tumblr. You’ll get a really good laugh at how blatantly stupid she is. She thinks her Law degree makes her an expert in politics. XD

It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.

War has all the characteristics of socialism most conservatives hate: centralized power, state planning, false rationalism, restricted liberties, foolish optimism about intended results, and blindness to unintended consequences.
Oh Ron Paul is a Racist? I guess that’s why the Austin President of the NAACP Nelson Linder supports him right?
I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

Well, I haven’t changed on the social scale, I just moved hard right.
It must be because of Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, and other Capitalist writers.

The tea party vote in Florida is split between…
Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney…What!?
Among those who support the Tea Party movement, support is split at 38% for each of the two leading candidates. However, Gingrich does better among those who say they strongly support the Tea Party with 49% to 24% for Romney. It’s the mirror image among those who support the Tea Party only somewhat – 51% for Romney to 27% for Gingrich.
^What in gods name are THEY thinking. Do those so called “tea party” supporters even know what the tea party stands for?
The Tea Party movement (TPM) is an American populist political movement that is generally recognized as conservative and libertarian, and has sponsored protests and supported political candidates since 2009. It endorses reduced government spending, opposition to taxation in varying degrees, reduction of the national debt and federal budget deficit,and adherence to an originalist interpretation of the United States Constitution.
The Tea Party’s most noted national figures include Republican politicians such as Ron Paul and his son Rand Paul, with the elder Paul described by some as the “intellectual godfather” of the movement.
So why on gods green earth are they NOT supporting Ron Paul!?
I swear, this is why America is going to hell. People are uneducated, imbeciles who don’t even know what they are even “supporting”. You are not a real tea party supporter if you do not support Ron Paul. Not only that but you make yourself look like a misinformed idiot.
People who hate on Ron Paul because he has a slight stutter.
He is the most eloquent 76 year old man I have ever seen speak, he is not in his 40s or 50s anymore, people should respect that he has the power to speak as well as he does and to do as well as he does in-spite of his age. Whoever says he can’t speak well should watch these videos;
