Last week, Harvey warned parents not to allow gay doctors and nurses to treat their kids, and not too long ago, she claimed that there was no proof that LGBT people exist. Clearly, Harvey is the one trying to restrict freedom of speech.
Ron Paul sure had a lot to say during his appearance on Meet The Press with David Gregory on Sunday. He talked about the war in Iraq, said he would abolish federal student loans, and compared taxation to stealing and said he would repeal the 16th Amendment. But Paul also had much to say about Social Security and to put it simply, he wants to strangle it.
Ron Paul told David Gregory that he believes ‘taxation is immoral’ and that it is ‘theft.’ Under a President Paul, the tax code as we know it would be abolished along with the 16th Amendment and replaced with all sorts of taxes such as highway taxes, gas taxes, and user fees.
During a Sunday morning appearance on Meet The Press, Ron Paul told host David Gregory that he would abolish federal student loans that millions of student across the country rely on to help them pay for their education. Paul also blamed the government for making education so expensive.

Paul Ryan told a student at a Wisconsin town hall earlier today that he should work three jobs to pay for college instead of using Pell Grants.
They have no interest in helping the masses of struggling Americans because they stupidly believe it will help them win the election and get the black man they hate so much out of the Oval Office.
The right-wing claims to have some sort of monopoly on Christianity and they claim that liberals are godless heathens who have no values. Well, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The left-wing has Christians too, and they are collectively known as The Christian Left.
Note to conservatives: If you’re going to send a care package to soldiers, leave out the conservative propaganda and send Hershey bars, thank you letters, clothing, soap, novels, and other needed items that keep the morale high. Our soldiers do not need, nor apparently do they want, political crap from a Fox News shill.
But here’s a question I’d like to ask the former senator. If sex is just for procreation, does that mean Santorum has only had sex eight times in his life? That’s not exactly a healthy sexual relationship with the woman he’s married to.
The Christian Right has much to say about homosexuality. Fred Phelps says God hates them and stages protests at the funerals of American soldiers to bring attention to his hatred. An anti-gay Christian Right wing activist recently said there wasn’t any proof that LBGT people exist.
