The link you posted is to an article which speculates that Ron Paul might be a Freemason, so I prefer to not accept that as absolute. It was far from convincing. I've never heard anything about him being a Freemason, but whether he is or not, I tend to dislike anyone being lumped into any broad category. That's like saying, "like all the other Catholics in the world" or "like all the other Asians in the world."
At any rate, what I meant by my question was, are there any other politicians like Ron Paul? Aside from some local politicians I might not know about, the only other one I know of is Dennis Kucinich.
Regardless of your opinion about Ron Paul's views and policies (assuming you are familiar with them?), I don't think it could be argued that he is "like all the other politicians."

I wouldn't say that's "all" he is..

Perhaps you missed my earlier post?

The difference is, in my opinion, that Obama didn't intend to be a puppet. Whereas, Bush was a puppet from the start. This is my opinion based on my own observation and is entirely subjective.

"See past" it? Did you miss my earlier post:

Or, are you saying that if someone disagrees with my views on, say, abortion, I should not see any good in them or try to understand them?
Isn't that the problem with politics? That people become polarized, divided, over differences of opinion? Isn't that why we have wars? Because people don't try to understand those with differing viewpoints, religions, or cultures?
I am assuming you aren't saying that all pro-choice people are evil...?

Why are you assuming I'm a liberal? And, even if I were, why is that 'bad'? I have never understood why the right-wing Republicans fling the word liberal as though it were an insult. Can you enlighten me on that? I truly don't understand it!
Daydreamin, I just realized that you are a new member and haven't yet been given a proper greeting! Welcome to Bring4th!
Please take a moment to review our forum guidelines.
Bring4th is an exceptional community, in that we welcome passionate discussion, as long as it's respectful towards other-selves and focuses on the spiritual aspect of the topic.
I'd like to remind everyone that there are plenty of other forums for debating politics. Let's not let this discussion be reduced to insulting any politician, even if we believe them to be STS. Remember, they too are other-selves.
We have in common our spiritual foundation of the Law of One. But beyond that, we have some very divergent views here in our community. Politics is a very volatile topic. Let's all work together to keep this discussion positive, and avoid any labeling of those who disagree with us.

You certainly have the free will to avoid any information that might conflict with your beliefs.

Actually, it is. Anything subjective is open for debate.

My question is: Why are we even discussing political left and right? That's like discussing Baptists vs Catholics. It has no relevance from a Law of One perspective.
