I saw the interviews with Ron Paul on Glen Beck and Meet the Press and found myself agreeing with much of what he said. He referred to a movie called Freedom to Fascism so I decided to watch. I am a very skeptical person yet I am now convinced. For the sake of your future and the future of your family watch this movie and decide for yourself.

If this post is removed I will be more convinced than ever
Of what?
It’s been pointed out numerous times why the video lacks credibility.
Reform Canada: Mitt Romney
TigersEye: Nuff said. lol (snort)
??? You're paranoid so Ron Paul should be President?
You couldn't be more wrong. The followers of RP and the LP are cobbled together from shards of the disenfranchised of the two official parties. The left and right libertarians will always factionalize.
The old time small "ell" libertarian stalwarts, such as Paul, always advocate that one of the choices in any election must be NOTA (none of the above). That mindset will never make it to the White House. Ron Paul was the LP Presidential candidate in 1988. He had more of a chance back then.
Read this Reagan quote from 1975 in Reason magazine.If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.
I cannot watch a video narrated by an amateur with a New York accent.

There isn’t anyone who has paid income taxes in the United States of America, who doesn’t know all they need to know about the IRS. Believing Ron Paul is going to save us from the IRS is the same as believing Ron Paul has a chance at more than 2 percent of the vote. The only unanswered question is which party will be reduced by the two percent, or will it be a wash.
The National Socialists of Germany had a charismatic leader who gathered a small vocal group of supporters too.
I may not agree with all the filmmaker's views, but it's not really truthful to call him an amateur, when he has produced some major motion pictures such as 'Trading Places', 'The Rose' and others.
If you guys really think he's a 2% candidate, I don't think we'd see this much frothing at the mouth viciousness and so much time and effort spent on attacking someone who supposedly is irrelevant.
Looks like you’re just another victim of mis-informaiton

The reason we quote unquote froth at the mouth is because he is paulluting the paulitical process with promises he cannot keep.
Got it.
I know that most of the FReepers still posting here are the kind of Republicans who are ok with the status-quo... but personally I think it is incredibly arrogant for GOPers to have the attitude that no one should run third party, and dare to challenge the TweedleDee and Tweedledum scenario that we have every 4 years.
Look where voting for "the lesser of two evils" has gotten us... the government keeps growing under either D's or R's, the constitution is being trampled, we're going bankrupt, and these things happen with either an establishment D or R in office. How much longer until some people wake up and realize that both parties have been taken over by globalists-statists, and by continuing to support them, you are part of the problem, not the solution? I'll probably get attacked or mocked for that, but one would have to be willfully blind to not see how things are going.
That is exactly why Paul has growing support, more and more can see now that the lesser of two evils thing is what has gotten us into this mess. And the ironic thing is... speaking of "insanity", what actually IS insane is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
So, if you want more of the same - more big government, less constitution, more open borders, less sovereignty, etc... then vote for the Approved GOP Candidate.
I hate to tell you this, but if the GOP nominates a status-quo candidate, he will lose. The only ones who are still willing to pull that lever are the shrunken base, and the numbers just aren't there to win in the general.
And whose fault is that? For the umpteemth time, it's not the fault of people who voted their conscience for who best represents their interests. It's the fault of the GOP for nominating a "hold your nose" RINO who will continue us on the same path.
Cool video. I still have to trust but verify, though.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who still seems to believe in limited government. Kudos to him. That said, he seems to have that libertarian’s disease which doesn’t allow him to recognize the government’s legitimate purpose in defending our borders or protecting American’s Right to Life.
