Introducing The Ron Paul Paul-O-Meter. Does Your Candidate Measure Up?

Who needs a Ron Paul endorsement when you have the Paul-O-Meter?

Everyone knows the perfection of Ron Paul. He is already a living legend. All future candidates are damaged goods simply because they are not Ron Paul. There is only one Ron Paul. So to see how other candidates measure up to his perfection we are introducing the “Paul-O-Meter”.

The Paul-O-Meter ranks candidates on a scale from 0 to 100 depending on how closely they are in agreement with Ron Paul on chosen criteria. Since no candidate can possibly equal Ron Paul, the highest score on the Paul-O-Meter attainable for candidates other than Ron Paul is 99. To simplify the ranking, each candidate will be graded from 1 to 5 on each of the 20 criteria. The 20 criteria are listed below, along with a short description for each.

Ron Paul’s Libertarianism: Perception vs. Reality

June 11th, 2008 1:58 pm  |  by Marc Gallagher  |  Published in Activism, Constitution, Election, Humor, Libertarianism, Liberty, Maven Commentary, Philosophy, Politics, Ron Paul, Video  |  3 Comments

Many people think they know Ron Paul’s true libertarian philosophy of limited government. Most of those people haven’t read his latest book. The Left call him a racist and say the country will plunge into chaos with the anarchy he proposes. Never mind the fact that he always calls for graceful processes to rid ourselves of the many unconstitutional federal government organizations and programs and preaches equality through freedom.

Here is a video that demonstrates the socialist Left perception of Ron Paul’s libertarianism. This is a short video of a busy intersection in India.

Now that’s a bit crazy. No wonder some on the left think Ron Paul is a bit of a kook. However, realize this: No one was hurt and everyone seems to get where they are going.

Unfortunately, many on the right do as well, but for a different reason. Those on the right think he’s crazy because he’s too pure or “black and white” on his principles. They believe in following the Constitution, but only where it benefits them. Ron Paul wants to treat it as if it is the “supreme law of the land.” How dare him? It doesn’t matter to them that the Constitution actually has those words in it.

So here is the view of those on the Right of Ron Paul in video form. This is a video of someone who calls himself “Jimmy Justice” and patrols the streets of New York looking for public servants breaking the law, even a law as inconsequential as performing a u-turn in a business district.

Those on the Right get it right, but they are improperly critical of him for being that way. Ron Paul is the Jimmy Justice of the Presidential election, and I for one love him for it.

Those critical of Ron Paul from the Left and the Right are as Mr. Justice says in the video: Boobs.

Bob Barr Following Ron Paul’s Footsteps Will Appear On The Colbert Report on 6/4/2008

May 30th, 2008 9:54 am  |  by Marc Gallagher  |  Published in Bob Barr, Election, Humor, Libertarianism, Liberty, Media, Politics, Ron Paul, Television  |  3 Comments

Following Bob Barr’s successful quest for the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination was a large splash of media appearances both in television and print. That continues next week when Bob Barr will appear on The Colbert Report on Wednesday. No doubt he’ll be made fun of, but I would venture a guess that if Mary Ruwart were the nominee of the party she would not be appearing on The Colbert Report. The ability for Barr to continue the spread of the liberty Ron Paul style message continues.

Interesting also, is that Barr will appear on the same show with Salmon Rushdie. The following day Pat Buchanan makes an appearance to promote his new book.

See the Colbert full Report lineup (and others) at The Late Night TV Page Guest Listings.

AMERICA, Fight Your Apathy! You CAN Save Our Soldiers and Iraqis from the Sickness of War! Laughter at The Onion is the Best Medicine!

Not feeling very Antiwar-ish today? No problem! Try Laughing at our Wars and Foreign Policy using the Hilarity of The Onion!

I regularly entreat or is it beg? the lucky people on my Facebook contact list to take a gander at my Antiwar-themed Freedom articles and reply with their thoughts. You could say that it’s a random cross-section of Americans mostly in their late-twenties. What happens? Usually I receive no reply of any sort. I recently published a ‘shocking’ expose of Rumsfeld wistfully wishing there was another 9/11 terrorist attack to galvanize support for Bush and increase American Military funding. (And I write ‘shocking’ not because of what he said, but the fact that this conversation was recorded and released to the public at the DoD website.) I have more to say, but let me jump to the links before you close this window.

Please entertain yourself by checking out any of the 1- or 2-minute satirical videos from www.TheOnion.com below that center on poking fun at our current Foreign and War Policies. Laugh or Cry, if you have any type of reaction, I would love to listen to your thoughts or comments, which you can certainly add below if you so wish (hint, hint).

Last year Liberty Maven uncovered the not so shocking Official Media Guide to Attacking Ron Paul. Now we have uncovered another document written by the “Main Stream Media Czar” that went out to all of the media outlets. Yet more proof that the media wants to decide your next President before you get a chance to even consider other options. The unedited text of the secret document is below.

Colbert does funny piece on Ron Paul [Video]

February 1st, 2008 6:05 am  |  by Marc Gallagher  |  Published in Humor, Ron Paul, Television, Video  |  1 Comment

Colbert did a funny piece demonstrating Ron Paul’s ability to predict the future correctly.

There’s no embeddable video for this because Comedy Central is vigilant about getting clips removed. Go to the link below and check out the video called “Ron Paul Sounds Alarm”. After that check out the Judge Napolitano one as well.

LM Video: A Bunch Of Sheep

January 31st, 2008 10:07 am  |  by Marc Gallagher  |  Published in Election, FOX news, Humor, Maven Videos, Media, Politics, Ron Paul, Television  |  Comment

There are many theories being argued about across the airwaves of talk radio, on the screens of TV news, and on the Internet about why conservatives are backing John McCain. I wonder why they are backing Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee too. The answer to me is that the sheep are being herded around by the shepherd and the shepherd is the main stream media. Here is an annoying video to illustrate my point.

This spoof of the movie “Downfall” has been done several times to varying degrees of effectiveness. This one is very funny and good.

Liberty Maven has uncovered a letter from the office of the “Main Stream Media Czar”. Unfortunately, the letter was not signed by name, only title. We didn’t even know there was such a thing as a “Main Stream Media Czar” prior to discovering this letter. My only reaction to this letter was, “it all makes so much sense now.” Here is the letter itself, transcribed word for word.
