nice.

 The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. |

Already over 18 million, and it looks like it ended up being around 6.4 mil for the day. This is crazy.
Update: We raised just over 6.3 million dollars in 24 hours, which not only shatters the old online fund raising record set by Paul of 4.3 million in a day, but also beats John Kerry's 5.7 and Hilary's 6.1 one day fund raising records! Ron Paul now officially has the highest 1 day fund raising total in the history of American politics, and it was all done online. No pledges, no promises, actual donations! Pwn3d! |

Oh and check this shit out:
He earned $640,000 in the first quarter, then $2.4 million in the second, then $5.1 million in the third, and now he's at 18.1 in the fourth with two weeks left to go. That's fucking momentum! |

I'll do everything in my internet power to do so. The libertarian movement is so long overdue, the day a libertarian takes office is the day our country takes another step forward.

He has no clue what a 'theory' means, talks about absolute proof.
Gonna just paste this, although it probably belongs in the atheist thread, he's an asshole for talking about something he has no understanding of. You've been told that "evolution is just a theory", a guess, a hunch, and not a fact, not proven. You've been misled. Keep reading, and in less than two minutes from now you'll know that you've been misinformed. We're not going to try and change your mind about evolution. We just want to point out that "it's just a theory" is not a valid argument. The Theory of Evolution is a theory, but guess what? When scientists use the word theory, it has a different meaning to normal everyday use.1 That's right, it all comes down to the multiple meanings of the word theory. If you said to a scientist that you didn't believe in evolution because it was "just a theory", they'd probably be a bit puzzled. In everyday use, theory means a guess or a hunch, something that maybe needs proof. In science, a theory is not a guess, not a hunch. It's a well-substantiated, well-supported, well-documented explanation for our observations.2 It ties together all the facts about something, providing an explanation that fits all the observations and can be used to make predictions. In science, theory is the ultimate goal, the explanation. It's as close to proven as anything in science can be. Some people think that in science, you have a theory, and once it's proven, it becomes a law. That's not how it works. In science, we collect facts, or observations, we use laws to describe them, and a theory to explain them. You don't promote a theory to a law by proving it. A theory never becomes a law. This bears repeating. A theory never becomes a law. In fact, if there was a hierarchy of science, theories would be higher than laws. There is nothing higher, or better, than a theory. Laws describe things, theories explain them. An example will help you to understand this. There's a law of gravity, which is the description of gravity. It basically says that if you let go of something it'll fall. It doesn't say why. Then there's the theory of gravity, which is an attempt to explain why. Actually, Newton's Theory of Gravity did a pretty good job, but Einstein's Theory of Relativity does a better job of explaining it. These explanations are called theories, and will always be theories. They can't be changed into laws, because laws are different things. Laws describe, and theories explain. Just because it's called a theory of gravity, doesn't mean that it's just a guess. It's been tested. All our observations are supported by it, as well as its predictions that we've tested. Also, gravity is real! You can observe it for yourself. Just because it's real doesn't mean that the explanation is a law. The explanation, in scientific terms, is called a theory. Evolution is the same. There's the fact of evolution. Evolution (genetic change over generations)3 happens, just like gravity does. Don't take my word for it.4 Ask your science teacher, or google it. But that's not the issue we are addressing here. The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is our best explanation for the fact of evolution. It has been tested and scrutinised for over 150 years, and is supported by all the relevant observations. Next time someone tries to tell you that evolution is just a theory, as a way of dismissing it, as if it's just something someone guessed at, remember that they're using the non-scientific meaning of the word. If that person is a teacher, or minister, or some other figure of authority, they should know better. In fact, they probably do, and are trying to mislead you.5 Evolution is not just a theory, it's triumphantly a theory! * 1 Theory: A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena. American Heritage Dictionary * 2 Scientific theories are explanations of natural phenomena built up logically from testable observations and hypotheses. Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science - National Academy Press * 3 A standard, scientific definition of evolution is: In fact, evolution can be precisely defined as any change in the frequency of alleles within a gene pool from one generation to the next. Biology - Helena Curtis and N. Sue Barnes, W H Freeman * 4 Evolutionists have been clear about this distinction between fact and theory from the very beginning, if only because we have always acknowledged how far we are from completely understanding the mechanisms (theory) by which evolution (fact) occurred. Darwin continually emphasized the difference between his two great and separate accomplishments: establishing the fact of evolution, and proposing a theory - natural selection - to explain the mechanism of evolution. Evolution as Fact and Theory * 5 The Cobb County School Board required a sticker with the following text to be placed on all biology textbooks: This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.

He needed 10% to move on and he got it. That yellow spot on the map above is also very exciting because it shows that he CAN win (at least something.) Wyoming is next and then New Hampshire. He'll nail double digits in both states and hopefully that'll be enough to persuade the "wasted vote" crowd to jump on board.

People need to stop focusing on what place Paul finished at. He was only 3% away from a 3 way tie for third. That's very respectable. He'll do even better in NH - I think he'll be in the top 3 there.

I was driving through Iowa the day before the votes.
Iowa pretty much sucked, the Quad Cities were a nice little break from empty interstate, but thats about the highlight of the drive through, and half of the quad cities aren't even in Iowa. |

Nubblies: If we put up with Felix, we will put up with you too.
