Yeah bounty hunters are a great idea. How IS this different than the $25M reward? How is this different than the way the Industrial Military Complex throws guns and mone at the problem. I’m sure the CIA is passing around loads of cash trying to get close to OBL. At least they probably were until they made a deal with the devil, Musharaf. And it’s lead nowhere. The guys in the tribal regions of Afganistan don’t care about our money, or even their own lives. They’re thinking about the 700 virgins they’ll get in the netherworld. I’m sorry, but I think this idea and the Military Industrial complex problem are evidence of the same problem. We want to throw money and guns at everything. Its like we just cant believe that people live for other reasons. Why do we refuse to try and understand why they’re all crazy, murderous towel heads? I’m not defending them, as you can see, I’m just saying guns and money keep getting us deeper into the quagmire. Don’t we need to think of something else?

What I find amazing is that no other candidate has offered this solution and what I find more amazing is that the Framers of the Constitution gave us guidance on how to deal with non-state terrorists and pirates in our simple four page Constitution.

I weep that we ignored their advice.

I’m not sure if you should be running around in the world. Tell us, do you own any weapons that we should be aware of?

Ditto Assad, Nasrallah, and I have no idea who Hooper is.

But, if YOU want to kill the ragheads, I’m sure you could hire you some mercs to do it. Once we get Ron Paul elected, there’s going to be a whole lot of Blackwater turkeys looking for something to do. Surely you can form up your own, WASPy/red-blooded American Al Qaeda, Jimmy.

Frankly, I don’t understand why people call this a “wacky” idea. It’s as if the military is the only tool for ANY job. How is that intelligent? And in any event, haven’t they shown they cannot accomplish the objective? What’s the use in continuing to get them killed? Hire a whole bunch of mexican or colombian drug lords… I guarantee, problem will get itself solved in a hurry.

Do you deny either of the following:
1. That the U.S. had sympathy in the Arab world after the 9/11 attacks.
2. That Bush’s foreign policy has incited anti-American hatred in the Arab world.
If so, then you are a hypocrite. If not, then you are utterly blind to the world around you. Choose wisely.

Oh wait, you’ve already chosen.

Jimmy… there’s still hope. Go to http://www.RonPaul2008.com and research his positions. I’m sure you’ll find his worldview a bit more, ah, nuanced than that of Sean Hannity, or Michael Savage, or whoever runs your mind nowadays.

One of the best damn ideas I have ever heard! Come on Jimmy, I can feel you falling in love with this man. Ron Paul 2008.

Hrmmm… starting to appeal to me… wait… Damn. I just read “John Howard’s” comment above, and I realized that, despite the coolness of that bill, this Ron Paul guy really doesn’t have a clue.

Besides, I’m sure whatever bounty hunters are out there with the capability of taking him down have already considered the 50-million as a bounty. OBL is probably dead by now anyway.

If the Man who will “kick the money changers out of the temple” (was Tim’s post brilliantly sarcastic, or stark-raving mushroom-induced madness? I don’t know…) added a bounty for Ahmadinajad, Assad, Nasrallah, Ibrahim Hooper, or any other of these psychotic Saracens, Mohatmetans, and Musselmen that menace the free world today, then I might reconsider.

Just think about it. A billion dollar bounty on Bin Laden would motivate just the type of people we need to get him. It would also be PHENOMENALLY cheaper to do this than to run dual wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which have done nothing to capture him.

Ron Paul is right as usual. Ron Paul in 2008!

Let Ron Paul kick the money changers out of the temple, and only then will we have a chance to reduce the role of violence in the world. Let the infinite, luscious sprawling fields of peace and creativity rule human society, instead of war. Let art, literature and music become the foundation of the world’s economy. Let the artists rule the world, in everlasting peace and beauty.

It’s right here in front of us, at any given moment. All we need to do is create communities that become living examples, for others to follow suit.

There’s no need to kill your enemies when you can ritualistically “kill” them, or humiliate them — in the same way primitive tribes have done, for thousands of years. War to eradicate an enemy exists purely for profit, and nothing more.

The archetype of the “enemy” cannot be destroyed. It will always sprout up again somewhere else, as soon as you think you’ve killed all your enemies. The reason for this is that archetypes exist in the human mind, and not in the “external” world. Ancient, primitive tribes know this, and they ensure their own survival by not killing their enemies, who practice the same thing.

Our religious leaders need to stand up and begin uniting nations with this level of wisdom and understanding of how the world and the human mind works. Where are our religious leaders? Where are our real leaders? Where are the Boddhisattvas?

Legalize Freedom!

Vote Ron Paul!

Bounty Hunters would be so effective…. it’s brilliant!!

Why is Paul right about Everything?….It’s almost disturbing.
