For instance, in a libertarian US, if Californians want to have a socialist state, then they can. If Texans want a strict free-market, then that’s what they have.

Libertarianism isn’t about a fascist strict-adherence to free market capitalism, it’s about self-determination, state’s rights, personal liberties, etc., where people are free to live as a socialist if they so choose.

That said, kudos to Bernie, I may not agree with socialism or want it, but he’s got principles and courage.

What kind of a statement is that? Obviously you are allowing yourself to be swayed by the corporate media who continues to demonize this man of great integrity who champions, at every turn, the disenfranchised and the working/middle class that are taken advantage of by the few who control the massive wealth of our nation (ie: The Federal Reserve – which, as the ever eloquent Congressman Kucinich has touted, “is no more Federal than Federal Express.”) This is someone who takes no money from Insurance conglomerates, financial institutions, and the pharamaceutical industry, to name but a few. He’s in it for “us,” not “them,” unlike the majority of our “elected” officials who have sadly forgotten the meaning of being a public servant (if they ever new it in the first place.

And though I have my issues with Dr. Paul, I do agree on many of his positions (shut down the Fed, end the wars, etc.) so the teaming of these 3 independent thinkers and doers is a most welcome enterprise. If only they had the money to start their own party – now that would be revolutionary!

They are CRIMINALS. It is a CRIMINAL organization who are traitors to the US Constitution, and a small minority of people who think that they can control the US Population this way, and remove our Constitutional freedom and right to self-govern, by creating massive debt, orchestrating another Great Depression (which they are currently doing… didn’t JP Morgan buy Bear Stearns for $2/share ? … Lehman Brothers was allowed to collapse, but AIG , Fannie and Freddie bought out/rescued by the US Taxpayer, and Bank of America and Citigroup given billions in aid..also taxpayers money !) . The whole thing is INSANE.
And why did it happen ?
Because of a small group of criminals, like Bernanke and his buddies at the Treasury, who work hand in glove together.

Until the US Senate has the rats weeded out of it, and is back in charge of printing and controlling money via the US Treasury, and until the private Cabal called the ‘Federal Reserve’ which is really a group of international bankers, is dissolved and removed from interfering with the monetary policies of the US Government, this country is going to be run into the ground.

Its been going on for a century.. all the ‘Free Trade’ agreements were setups to offshore jobs, illegal immigration was left unchecked, the collapse of the US economy and dollar was perpetrated by these criminals, as were the massive borrowing to finance illegal warmaking in the Middle East…does anyone even remember WHY we supposedly invaded Iraq ? It wasn’t 9-11. That was Afghanistan. “Weapons of Mass Destruction”..which never existed, were never found. Iraq was a sovereign nation which posed no direct threat to the US, and did not ask to be invaded.

ITs time that the AMerican people start revolting against the criminals who have hijacked our freedom, destroyed our economy and sent our youth to die in foreign lands for their economic benefit and control of natural resources that do not belong to them. The CIA needs to be disbanded and the Federal Reserve as well, which are the two things Jack Kennedy tried to do, that got him killed by these same criminals.

Bernanke is a criminal who works for more criminals. They should all be put on trial and jailed for conspiracy against the US Constitution and the US citizen. The US Military is sworn to ‘defend the constitution’..not to defend the criminals who want to tear it apart line by line.

Support the bill to Audit the Federal reserve. CAll your Senator TODAY. Next work hard to have the Fed. Reserve dismantled, once its lies and deceptions are exposed thru auditing its activities, it will be obvious who runs this banking cabal.

To understand how unwise it is to have the Federal Reserve, one must first understand the magnitude of the privileges they have. They have been given the power to create money, by the trillions, and to give it to their friends, under any terms they wish, with little or no meaningful oversight or accountability.

However, it is the responsibility of every member of Congress to represent the interests of the people that sent them to Washington and find out what has been happening with our money. As the branch of government with the power of the purse, we really have no other reasonable choice when the economy is in the shape it is in.”

Most of the population understands this which is why Libertarians don’t break one percent in most elections, while Bernie has been consistently and overwhelmingly re-elected with little campaigning on the strength of his record.

Because he is a fiscally responsible Socialist who backs up his positions with logic rather than blanket anti-tax fanatacism.

“When banks are charging 30 percent interest rates, they are not making credit available,” said Mr. Sanders, who noted credit unions are limited to 15 percent. “They are engaged in loan-sharking.”

It is blatant stealing of our tax dollars and every elected official should demand an audit or resign.
