Illegal?Nov 17th, 2007 - 21:13:52

Who are you to say it's 'illegal to spend them?' Since when is it illegal to use other forms of money than the U.S. dollar for trades? You are convicting people who use this money for transactions without a trial.

So, if I you trade me a Ron Paul Liberty Dollar for my computer, you're saying you would be breaking the law? Nonsense.

You got to be kidding me. You think trading one thing for another is illegal when both has some kind of value and both sides agree willingly. Proof is look at the prices they sell for now. I'm sorry but telling me anything doesn't have a value even air has value and can be bought sold and traded without the governments help to jack up the price or increase inflation. Maybe you should figure out what happens to money in your bank account as mor emoney is being printed. It's a little harder to inflate a currency that is actually backed by something. But thats not even the point we should be free to trade anything for anything if we see it has value i dont need a nanny saying something is a bad idea.

Apparently, all of the OTHER people making coins for use in the United States like American Mint, Coinable.com,Osbornecoin.com and every single casino in America don't break the law when they make coins. Apparently only Liberty Mint does that somehow. Funny thing too, they're also the only company to put Dr. Ron Paul's likeness on their coin. No relationship exists between Dr. Paul and Mr. NotHaus (except that Mr. NotHaus admires Dr. Paul's views on fiat currency) but let us look at what was confiscated - two tons of coins bearing Dr. Paul's image. That's 64,000 pieces of political speech saying citizens shouldn't be robbed by the government - that their money should have value that can't be destroyed by inflation. If you had one, think how many times you might show it to a friend and say - If you voted for Dr. Paul maybe all our money could be like this someday. Can he change it by himself? No, but if we put him in office other people will run on his platform. Besides, the ones that want to stay in office would help him anyway - they'd know we'd vote them out if they didn't.

Just sit back and really think about what is going on here, and you will be shocked. ponder it for a few minutes, then you will know who is in control of your life. After that you will know why Ron Paul is so important to the average american, even if they cant even see it.

I'd like to know what actual laws were allegedly broken.

As an aside, the name 'von NotHaus' strikes me as strange. Are there any names in German that capitalize a letter in the middle? Also, I understand 'not' means emergency, like in 'Not Ausgang' (emerg. exit), etc.

Any thoughts?

SP4: uh....earth to Ron Paul Moonies....Nov 17th, 2007 - 23:08:20

What nation, or planet, are you from?

If you get caught trying to transact business with phoney currency, and someones acid-trip silver coin would qualify, you can actually get arrested for this.


But, by all means, don't take ol SP4's opinionated, uneducated, neocon point of view, walk right into a bank with a roll of these and try to get currency. When they tell you to stay right there...that's the cue to start crapping your pants and calling your lawyer!

Jesus!.....

Ron Paul's campaign has no association with that company. He has never endorsed them. I know of only one time Ron Paul said anything about them. A reporter asked him if he wanted people to contribute Liberty Dollars to his campaign. He said no.

When The Hyper Inflation Hits In 2008 Ron Paul's Monetary Stand Will be Vindicated.

When The Food Riots Start And The Disinters Are Labeled As Domestic Terrorists; You Will See The True Measure Of Our Freedom As They Are Taken Away Without Habeas Corpus.

The Executive Orders Are In Place And Only Need Enforcement In The Event Of An 'Emergency'.

We May Attack Iran As A distraction from This Problem Which will Result In War With Russia. WAR WILL COME TO AMERICAN SHORES WITH FIRE LEADING THE WAY.

A Ron Paul Presidency Is The Only Option To Avert Such Disasters.

Save The Republic; Vote Ron Paul.
