Virtue.  Case in point well defined.

But if the author asked us to remove it we would.

That statement, it be true.  I know the individual well enough that authored the statement, and am well aware of the quality of this blog and the folks that blog here to understand this to be gospel.  No, not in the Piously Correct sense, but just plain old common sense respect.  However, the fact remains that we live in an increasingly unscrupulous world where that turning to self moderation based upon character or, virtue is the root of these rather statist intrusions we now b!tch about seemingly on a daily bases.  It's an old story the Left and its interlopers has always enjoyed to advance the nanny state irrespective to virtue and character.

I'm sure this was all Reagan's fault:

That was from C-Span circa 1984, and like always with the conspiracy kook... it's the orwellian government to blame, but not the unscrupulous little bastards gaming a system causing further havoc in the human fly paper that is our modern computerized world.  Yessiree, Uncle Squeaky still out there, still Winning The Future.

The upside.  Industrial grade CrAzY within the Liberaltarian camp might force their deity Paulestinian to own up to that fact.

Using their iconic mic-check speaking style, the protestors spoke out against Ron Paul's campaign pledge to close the Environmental Protection Agency if elected.

Sitting arm in arm, the members of the Occupy movement chanted; "We are fighting for the future generations. In order to live we need clean air, clean water, and safe food. Don't dismantle the EPA. We won't allow this business to open before our demands are met."

Police gave the protestors the opportunity to move from the private entrance to the public sidewalk twenty feet away. Some complied, but five refused to move and were arrested.

Many of the occupy demonstrators claimed sympathy, if not outright support for the ideology of Ron Paul, which made this protest especially uncomfortable for both the occupiers and the campaign.

One of the arrested protester's named Clark Davidson claimed to be a Ron Paul precinct captain as he was led away in handcuffs.

"I don't believe with Ron Paul on every single issue...I came to stand with my sisters. I came to address that with the campaign and I just got arrested," Davidson said.

No one from the Paul Campaign was immediately available for comment.

Yup.  The Liberaltarian nose under the GOP tent must be sharting himself all the way back to the end-the-war burn-a-fatty pro-abort 1972 LP founding ... just like the dark cloud over Conservatism that Ron Paul has always been.
