why ?

"The opponents of this published article are attempting to do a massive cover-up campaign about the worrisome aspects of US Liberty [SPECIFY]. This is one of those aspects [WHICH ASPECTS?] bearing ugly fruit [SUCH AS?], and there is likely more to come. The US constitution is far from free, even though a lot of people have made the best of its limits [WHICH ARE?]. That's welcome! However, as the pressure rises to come to terms with the cons' limitations of political freedom [WHICH ARE?], it would do us good to record these incidents [WHICH ONES?] and write to our local reps to see if we can have these clauses [WHICH?] made more in the interests of individual freedom, before it is too late."

Thanks for your insight, Maxim.

its not hot air ... its time for a change, and the fresh air that Ron Paul is bringing to the us political scene

Your vanity would force you to question anything and everything-except your own perfect existence! As long as everything is fine for you, the rest of the world can go to hell. I've seen this kind of attitude before, both in others in Toronto and from you as well. When in refusal mode, question to the hilt.

I wholehaeartedly agree BUT, she unfortunately is not the editor of online edition.
Perhaps EE could find a real journalist to run this site.

believe it or not ... what happens in the us impacts both eesti and canada, and if the current trend to increased government control in the us continues, your head in the sand only makes your backside more vulnerable

what is most disturbing is that there are so many narrow minded readers on this site who become visibly unglued, (revealing their inner selves), as soon as a perspective outside of their narrow acceptable thought range is expressed

some people are ahead of the curve, some are behind it ... from my perspective you are behind it,
witness use of your moniker after maxim

Perhaps you can elaborate on how you feel I'm behind the curve? Asking for more than posting links is behind the curve? Do you see the NYTimes, Washington Post or Globe & Mail simply post links to other articles on their pages with a comment?

I agree with your latest comments. It is one thing to cut/paste a story but to post just a link is providing a channel for these extremist view points. It implies that EE is supporting and advertising these unpopular view points. If EE wants to become known as an extremist web site then go right ahead. Erasing comments has also become a more frequent occurrence and I don't mean Adele's. It appears the paper is trying to protect old friends.

Most major newspapers do pick up articles from other sources on a regular basis without any editorial comment.

Behind the curve means you are late to catch onto the Ron Paul grassroots movement in the US. This is the most profound political movement in the US this century.

To label this unpopular and extremist, is a bit premature, but yes it definitely goes against your sensibilities, if you support GWB's policies.

You are right about articles but a link is quite different. I am sorry if you don't see the difference. For some it takes a little time to sink in specially someone not familiar with the internet. For the this century bit , it is a little over 7 years old according to my calendar. The link is to Alex Jones web page not to Ron Pauls. Go back and read . Do you realy believe private alternate currency would be a "good" thing ? If so you must be from another planet. Back to Ron Pauls "most profound political movement" . In who's opinion , yours ? Why isn't he showing up in the polls if he is so profound ? It is just amazing how someone can be duped and become followers of conspiracy theories. You have a brain , think for yourself, Don't let others make up your mind !

You say extremist is premature . Read this : -

Here is another article on Yahoo's web page. I rest my case. Could you point us to articles countering these points ?

I actually like a lot of what Ron Paul says, what I don't like are the fanatics who support him. They parade around the internet like he's the second coming and will save the world.

All I was asking in my initial post was some commentary on why EE has started posting frequent Ron Paul articles. Posting blind links like this do nothing because:
a) Most people don't know who Ron Paul is.
b) Without knowing who he is and reading this article it makes him seem a bit odd.

Having some editorial comment on who Ron Paul is and what his views are would be more useful than simply posting links.

RP does a lot of work in conjunction with Lew Rockwell, and it is worth noting the sanity of that man. He holds capitalism accountable to itself, and doesn't turn a blind eye to its injustices like a lot of commentators here are only too eager to do in order to defend their own egos and interests. There may have been a time when gung-ho capitalism had a lot going for it, but looking at the nosediving of the US economy, it's better to reign in on what's left of the US' dowry, and get this isolationist thing happening here.

Maximus, information communication is important to let people make up their own minds .. but an editorial perspective on Ron Paul would be interesting !

Sherlock, your perspectives are on the other side, You don't believe anything needs fixing and your sources line you up in the zionist camp hwith the same financiers who funded communism.

Hey Peter, my source is Google not some far extremist web site.
Remember Diaspora . By the way, how is the weather in Canadas capital.

wrong peter, bucko. Some Sherlock!

Stuffed up pretty big yet again mr bigshot!

Stuffed up pretty big yet again mr bigshot!

You and Maxim make me laugh. Just apply some logic and one will discover that you have just exposed yourself yet again. Maxim someday you might learn to use some logical thinking.

Where do you get your information?
