Ron Paul is a Pirate

Ron Paul's emergence as the new GOP frontrunner in Iowa has many clamoring to slap the "not-Mitt" mantle upon the Texas lawmaker's brow. But political pundits and voters should pay greater heed to his sudden rise. The "anyone but Romney" title downplays Paul's emergence, writing him off as just the latest in a string of candidates-du-jour. But Ron Paul is more than a fling.

The Texas Republican is the next logical step in the GOP's steady march to Libertarianism. After the Tea Party's 2010 sweep of the midterm elections, who else could Republican voters adore with more fervor than the founder of the movement, a man determined to obliterate government down to its very bones, then pulverize the remainder to render it wholly meaningless? Ron Paul isn't the great Republican hope, the champion of small government or a candidate preaching reason. Ron Paul is a pirate.

How else would you describe an anti-authoritarian precious metal fetishist with a maniacal disdain for any sort of excise on earnings that advocates quack medicine? A man who, if given the chance, would eliminate every agency that protects Americans from their own cupidity? Ron Paul's pirate economy will shrink government into a non-functioning entity, opening the floodgates for every miscreant who prays for nothing more than a lawless land begging to be raided and pillaged; the nation left a wide open sea of bountiful profits with not a single buffer of federal interference.

What Ron Paul's America Would Look Like

Ron Paul 2012? Republican voters appear willing to walk the plank. But take a look at what life could be like after hypothetical President Ron Paul places his hand atop The Bible and takes the oath of office.

In Ron Paul's America, your boss could feasibly pay you in bags of gold -- albeit very small ones.

Paul's insistence upon a gold standard is caged in innocuous terminology . "Legalizing sound money, so the government is forced to get serious about the dollar's value." It disguises a belief that a U.S. Bank guiding monetary policy is the bane of a truly free market society. The reality accepted by most economists -- those without considerable holdings in the gold market like Paul -- is the move away from the gold standard has saved America's hindquarters from a severe thwacking several times since the Great Depression. The Fed, as much as Paul counters, keeps the economic gears greased for consistent growth.

Sustainable Printing Options at Duggal | Connect | Duggal Visual ...

UV ink sits on the surface of the substrate and is then cured as it leaves the printer. The off-gassing VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound) from a substrate printed with UV ink carries little noticeable smell and needs minimal ventilation for printer operation. UV ink is removed much easier and can enable the substrate to be recycled efficiently and effectively. Duggal leads the industry with 4 high-resolution UV printers including the first Durst 900 flatbed printer installation globally and the first Durst 500R large format printer in the U.S. Each Durst printer has unmatched quality with 2040 nozzles per color including white ink technology.

We additionally have on order our third high-resolution Durst wide format printer in less than one year giving us the newest, fastest and highest quality wide format UV fleet of any digital graphics company globally. The new machine will arrive the first week of September.

- This form of printing utilizes similar technology to a solvent printer but uses Aqueous Pigments producing no VOCs and needing little ventilation. The head is also much closer to the substrate allowing for very accurate color placement with minimal waste. Duggal’s Inkjet/ Giclee Fine Art printing department has multiple aqueous pigment printers.

- Eco-solvent printing uses mild-solvent ink that is more environmentally friendly than traditional solvent based inks. The solvent is the liquid product in the ink that helps in the interaction of ink and the material. Hard solvents or solvent inks soften the materials and allow the inks to chemically fuse to the materials. Eco-solvent printing uses a milder solvent that still softens the material for printing but it is less dangerous then the traditional solvent prints.

- Our digital offset Indigo press currently utilizes HP’s Electroink oil based inks as new technology is still being created but our press still produces little VOCs and uses almost exclusively FSC certified and recycled papers. With Duggal’s FSC Chain of Custody Certificate we can offer companies official FSC certified products. In conjunction with our FSC certification our business practices have been recognized by the Rainforest Alliance. All ink used in our digital offset Indigo press is recycled back into the machine, unlike conventional offset printing.
