Ron was way ahead of his time. The Fed was a primary target. He even wrote a book about the Fed. If doesn’t come thru, I’ll explicitly state, The Fed is at the top of my list of things to eliminate. FBI is a close 2nd.

The FBI has become the Democrat party’s political police, sort of like the Soviet Union’s Chekas.

Ron was the hero this country desperately needed to stave off the marxism running rampant today. But he was bashed mercilessly by most posters even here on FR.

There was a predecessor to the CIA, OSS, and as I recall GHWB was associated with that group too.

Ron Paul was a true America First patriot. Wanted to end all foreign aid and foreign wars.

Thus he was accused of being not sufficiently pro-Israel, and not sufficiently pro-"War on Terror."

Nevertheless, I voted for him in 1988, 2008, and 2012 (the last two times as a write-in).

Wasn’t Perot another confection of the Alphabets to (twice) elect an otherwise unelectable Clinton?

*********

Free Republic has always been full of ‘warfare puppets’ who dislike Ron & Rand Paul, because they have a more mature approach to foreign policy issues.

The best foreign policy for any nation is commerce, diplomacy, & humanitarianism.

“Ron was the hero this country desperately needed to stave off the marxism running rampant today. But he was bashed mercilessly by most posters even here on FR.”

He was a visionary who is now being proven as correct day by day. He was bashed mercilessly by those who love foreign wars, “Ooh Rah! Please enslave me to get those Muzzies!”...

Tell you what... He saved my butt with his vision in 2008. He alerted us to the bubble before it happened. He warned us and no one listened. I did, I sold off all my properties for cash and tripled my investment just three weeks before the 08 crash.

But something important to address about Ron being President. Unfortunately he would have had the same thing happen to him that happened to Trump. So he would have been hogtied and not been able to fix much anyhow.

I've always liked Ron. Would vote for Rand for president any time. The deep state would hate him as much as they do Trump.

He was so far ahead of his time. I didn’t understand him at the time because I was deep into head of household duties. God bless him. And God bless JimRob and FR.
