Shane, you should challenge thunderf00t to a debate. Did he respond to any of the videos you've addressed to him on the subject?

Not that I saw.

Back on topic.

Search engines are our best friend.  Take a look at some of the arguments against him here in the comment section: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/943684/

The first two arguments were the only ones I looked at in the comments.
The first being esentially: "If we don't continue the war, Islam will take over the world!"
and the second being, "The gold standard is a horrible idea for the economy."

Yeah, and RP just wants to get rich off all the gold he hoarded. The thing is, if you want to get rich from hoarding gold, it's the CURRENT system you'd want to support!

"If we don't continue the war, Islam will take over the world!"

How would they even do that?  Fly another plane into the white house, kill the pres and then crown themselves king? :p

My friend brought up the gold standard as an example against RP.  Didn't say a reason, just stated that he supports the gold standard as though it were an automatic deal breaker.

Yes, he also believes the New Deal totally saved America from the depression.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"

If you go poking at a hornet's nest, you're going to get stung. The solution is to LEAVE THE DAMN THING ALONE.
The poking being the interventionism, or the plays/cartoons?

The former.

That the people supporting RP are a bunch of isolationist, redneck, as-long-as-I've-got-mine, nuts and conspiracy theorists.
Is another annoying one.
Nevermind the fact that this in no way has anything to do with RP and is just a weak Guilt by Association argument with a side helping of confirmation bias.

Yes, try explaining the difference between isolationism and non-interventionism to some people. And people wonder why I use the term "dogmatist"!

Yeah, when you do, they seem to think that it's either rape them (Interventionism), or ignore them and ban trade with them (isolationism).
As if those are the ONLY two options *coughFALSEDICHOTOMYcough*.

I've just been informed that on BlogTV, both Thunderf00t AND DPRJones equated libertarianism with anarchism.

Sometimes I wonder what's the point...
God...

I don't know about the context of what Dr. Paul means, but I thought I should include this.

"YELLING MAKES ME RIGHT!!!"

His interpretation of the separation of church and state sounds pretty accurate to me.  It simply says you cannot mandate religion.  Fair enough.

I'm not even religious and I'm getting annoyed with all the "Augh!  You can't do that!  It's got religious overtones!" nonsense.  It's so hypocritical.

The context would be that Dr. Paul is responding to a case where a fire department was forced to remove a Christmas Tree from their firehouse on First Amendment grounds.
