Republican debate audience booing

I dislike the Republican base more than I dislike the Democratic base.


In the above video, Ron Paul, in speaking about foreign policy, argues that the nation should follow the Golden Rule, and not do onto others that which we would not like done upon us. The Golden Rule is a basic tenet of philosophy and what is moral. Yet, the audience vehemently booed him on it.



In the above video, the audience boos a gay soldier asking if the candidates will continue to protect gays having equal rights. Too add insult to injury, the always beautiful and charming Megyn Kelly defends the people booing. She defends the crowd for booing because it was not due to the fact that he was gay, but because he wants "gay rights protected." A gay person should have his rights protected just as much as any other person has his rights protected. All people have natural rights and should be treated equally. A straight person can announce they are straight, but a gay person cannot announce they are gay. He wants equal rights, not greater rights, and that is not only moral, but what our great Constitution requires.

In naming this blog Logos over Pathos, I meant to keep my arguments rational as opposed to emotional. logical as opposed to making fallacious arguments or using appeals to emotion or straw men, etc... Here is disregard that self-imposed rule, to say fuck you Megyn Kelly, and fuck you republican debate audiences who are too small-minded to hear another opinion. Fuck you.

  1. Republicans literally have a mind block when it comes to foreign policy. They started booing him when he simply suggested that we should have a debate about foreign policy. Its willful ignorance at its worst.

  2. political commentators keep saying he should not talk about foreign policy, and not answer the questions in the debate; and turn it into an economic policy answer (I just think of Cain yelling 9-9-9!). What they do not realize is Paul is not a politician of soundbites, he speaks honestly and does not change his opinions for his audience.
