Joe Rogan for President 2016.

@Anhonestmoose

If you believe that the amendment has to be interpreted in the light of when it was written, then the same as to be applied to the freedom to bear arms. That was written to maintain a well-regulated Militia as a defense again a dictator or other totalitarian power like the British from taking over again in the US. So I guess we should give up the right to bear arms as well as the legal/illegal birth thing.

It's easy to be right, it's easier to be wrong. It's much harder to be consistent.

i read the comments sections on a couple of mma sites, and never seen anything like this. its usually just uninformed bickering. this site seems to have more intelectuals than i would have guessed. cp is my fave mma site and usually my first stop. today i am proud to be a member of the potato nation

Ron Paul 2012!!

well, the situation being protested is the capture by Wall Street of our government, which brings with it serious consequences for the people of this country. Do you contest that reality?
.
What are we to do as a people? Maybe we should go the Thomas Jefferson rout... but who's gonna do that?
.
And so we get some weak-ass protesters. Pity us, not them.

^this.

Occupy wallstreet is hilarious... you have money and I don't, so I'm going to camp out and be annoying until you give me some.. instead of, ya know, like going out and starting a business of my own and earning it. No, I'll just sit on the curb until you give me money from yours. Because that's more fair.. or something.

@maj fight fan
Thanks for the insight into Ron Paul's true beliefs and motives. I'll definitely be voting for him now. Sounds fuckin great by your descriptions.

I'm a little disappointed that Rogan isn't stoned as shit, and of course Ron Paul's stance on pot has something to do with Rogan supporting him.

Soooo, noone here is a democrat? To change America you must put your money where your mouth is. 299 million poor/middle class can scrounge up more dough than 1 million richtards. But we dont. And so their money rules our democracy, instead of ours. It's only going to get worse..
.
A Ron Paul administration (ha) would be blocked at every step, just like early Clinton and early Obama were by 550+ congressmen hooked on political money, screaming patriotic bravado to justify their blocking our rights.
.
All hope is not lost. Just like the Middle East got change via twitter and facebook, so can America presumably one day change through these last bastions of popular expression.

CROM! What are all these grown-ups doing on CP?! Good-on-ya lads, fuckin-A Ron Paul 2012!

Bloomberg took a look at the consequences of all this totally sensible plans Ron Paul has.

I'm not even gonna touch this discussion. The last time I got involved with one of these political debates on CP I changed my screen name to make a point, then they made us sign-up for screen names and I got stuck with this one.
Avoiding Ron Paul, I will say it's nice to see Anhonestmoose actually has a good grasp of history.

@pinkslayer
I don't think you know the history of that amendment. It was written specifically for the children of the recently freed slaves, to end the debate over whether or not they were US citizens. It was never intended to mean free citizenship for anyone who can haul their ass across the boarder. Illegal immigration wasn't really a concern at the time since no one wants to immigrate to a country that just had a civil war. Additionally, the phrase which follows, "...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," is open to interpretation.

^ Joe Rogan by night, All day. Duncan is one of my favourites too along with The Machine.

Ron Paul is great for his INTERNATIONAL policies and views....And ----Joe Rogan / Duncan Trussell 2012----...all day ..Fuck the rest of these marionettes. JRE

@maj
you're a tard. bring the troops home, and that helps a lot of threats go away. stop watching corporate whores tell you what you should think. these countries are no threat!!!

@pinkyslayer
Good call, good call.

and rb, our constituiton grants citizenship to ANY child born in this country, so your opposition to that or insistence that they are "illegal" flies in the face of the constitution.

I'm gonna save us all some time and point out that we can't even come to a consensus on who will win a fight, i think our discussion on fiscal policy and the pros/cons of interventionism vs isolationism will be less than productive. maj fight fan has already demonstrated that no political discourse can be had without firmly held misconceptions and strawmen getting in the way, so let's just stick to mma.

@Maj. Fight Fan
You state that being for removing illegal immigrants is bad thing!?!? Last time I looked, it was the law. You say it like "you're a fool if you think the laws are OK"... same with kicking out the illegal immigrants (read: ILLEGAL) and not allowing citizenship to kids of illegal parents (read AGAIN: ILLEGAL).

So, unless your OK with breaking the law, you're a fool? That's the way I read it... I could be wrong, but your post reads lightly beyond retarded.

And by the way dude, if you're going to spout off so many "facts", back 'em up.
 
He's delivered 4000 babies. Of course he's against abortion. moreover, he's against Roe v Wade, because it violates the constitution. Leave it to the states. Keep the federal government off of your woman's body. Don't like your states' stance on abortion? Move. He's made concessions is this years debates that there are instances where it should be allowed (rape, medical complications)
 
Who isn't against illegal immigration? NO ONE allows it. Fuck, you can't even go into Canada and get a job. How are we supposed to keep ourselves secure at home with our military abroad and our front door open?
 
He isn't against legal immigration. Protect Lawful Immigrants – As President, Ron Paul will encourage legal immigration by streamlining the entry process without rewarding lawbreakers.
 
Here Ron Paul saying OWS is a HEALTHY MOVEMENT
 
On and on and blah blah you don't have a clue.

Joe Rogan has a lot of opinions on a lot of subjects and no doubt, he's far more intellectual than Dana White.

However, when he goes on a TV show and claims that he, "loves everything that comes out of Ron Paul's mouth." - I don't believe he's fully aware of everything ultra conservative Ron Paul stands for which contradicts a lot of what Joe Rogan opines.

Ultra Conservative and Tea Party supporter Ron Paul is strongly against abortion, affirmative action, gay marriage, gays serving openly in the military, against immigration, against illegal immigration, in favor of deportation of all illegals - DOES NOT think 9/11 was an inside job and is against the Occupy Wall Street protester.

If Joe Rogan is in favor and "loves all of these issues" then Joe has changed his opinions and is an ultra conservative (Liberitarian).

Medium Rare - opinionated people have no problem with others expressing their views AS LONG as it is the same as their own. Personally, I'm opinionated, as is Joe Rogan but I have no problem with people of the same or different opinions expressing themselves. I only get butt-hurt from sitting too long.

@FightZen - If that is the case I hope hope Danga dies soon.

Wait... Did Skeletor and Danga just, like, have a moment? If so, Michele Bachman is getting elected.

@Maj. Fight Fan: you're not one of these opinionated people that get butt-hurt every time another opinionated person voices their political views are you?
.
I hope not, 'cause people like that are what make political discussions so obnoxious.

@Maj. Fight Fan

Have you actually heard Joe Rogan talk about politics? He states his opinions (almost all of them libertarian) and follows them up with facts. Rogan is very intelligent and can debate with almost anyone about politics, MMA, comedy, TV, radio, whatever.

I suggest you go find interviews or watch his podcast so you can see for yourself that he really does know what he is talking about, whether you agree with his opinions or not. I don't think I have ever seen him blindly support an opinion without factual information backing it up.

Wow - of course there's a few Joe Rogan fans that think he knows anything about Ron Paul - including Joe Rogan.

Sure, some of his domestic views are good - less government intervention in personal freedoms. Paul is a huge advocate of closing up the US Mexican and Canadian borders, kicking out all the illegals and preventing children born in the US to illegal parents from being citizens.

He also thinks there's no such thing as a nuclear threat from Iran, China or North Korea.

Joe Rogan's a stand up comic, a TV show host and an MMA commentator - he must know what he's talking about politically right?

I always wondered if Rogan was a Ron Paul supporter. I'm glad to see it.

RON PAUL 2012!!!

Thanks for the article CP

Not the biggest Paul fan but not a hater. I do wonder if Rogan only supports him due to his stance on pot

Ron Paul 2012! Joe Rogan is the man. If the world has more Joe Rogans it would be a great place.

I wrote him in in 2008. And will again this time.

@Danga-I think the fact that they barely give him any air time doesn't really help either. Most people in this country don't vote so much on issues or voting record but who can come up with the most memorable catch phrase.

Huge Paul fan here too. Been watching & listening to him for years.

Ron Paul 2012!

I am glad to see a few fellow Paul supporters out there. It's a shame that his age is playing such a factor in his potential candidacy. One might even call it a "Fear Factor."

Ron Paul 2012!

Ron Paul 2012!

family guy came back, but i hate that show
