Ron Paul: Physical Opposition to government may become Necessary
MINA ^

Posted on 09/06/2008 5:37:10 PM PDT by mnehring

In a radio interview earlier this week, U.S. congressman Ron Paul said it may become necessary for citizens to resort to physical opposition if the government continues to erode civil liberties and commit international acts of aggression.

Asked by radio show host Alex Jones if he believed in the use of violence or other physical action to oppose an unjust government, Paul, a one-time presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party and a contender for the Republican presidential nomination until he dropped out of the race earlier this year, answered in the affirmative.

"Well, there's always that possibility that, that time will come." he said. "I believe in that."

Ron Paul should resign immediately.

Then he should be prosecuted for trying to incite violence against the government.

Ron Paul supporters should immediately repudiate him.

Tell Ron Paul to keep his arms out. It’ll be harder to throw the net over him.

EXACTLY! Something that people who compare the Founding Fathers revolting and now is they fail to forget that now, the voice of the people can be heard every few years and throw out the bastards if they don’t want them.

*Ronald Ernest Paul version

About 85% of Ron Paul's views are pure gold. The problem is, the other 15% is steaming dog sh!t. When he appears (repeatedly) on Jones's show, I'm not sure who is trying to gain credibility from whom...

Don’t ask me, I never get a straight answer out of them. They say things like Jose Pedialla’s rights, lol, he was given more rights than he deserved and still was found guilty of treason and conspiracy to contribute to acts of terrorism.

Good question: He apparently has the freedom to speak out against the government without fear.

We know that Ron Paul would pursue isolationist methods to the extent that he would, in fact, suppress civil liberties to trade abroad, or to travel in other countries.

Interesting that he agrees it would be OK to shoot him.

If his pal Alex Jones still can speak, then the First Amendment is stronger than ever.

Does anyone know how Paul’s wife is doing? I think I read sometime back she was admitted to a hospital but I’ve not seen anything since as to her condition.

Thanks.

Well Ron has cut himself and we get to see his fascist blood now.

Jonah Goldberg predicted the rise of Liberal fascists in the USA:

"Liberal Fascism, the Secret History of America's Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning."( get it and read it, the most important political treatise of the decade).

Paul is a Utopian, who would use force to stuff his Utopia down the throats of free men and women.

And his followers at work show that characteristic too. Look what they did at the GOP convention, gave tickets to Code Pink and other Lefties. Fascist Utopians, who have no compunction at snatching freedom away from their fellow Americans. Paul wants to abandon democracy because America rejected him. Another case of narcistic fascism, just like Ayres, Obama, and Saul Alinsky. Put em all in the same POT.

Go home to Texas Ron, where they still shoot horses.

( Allegra can you believe this $hit?)

He did say he likes Obama’s foreign policy, maybe there is a community organizer kindred going on there.

If this be treason, make the most of it.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

I heard she was still in the hospital but doing OK. I do pray for her. It is sad he left her there while he had his little counter rally with Jessie Ventura and Adam Kokesh.

"Ron Paul said it may become necessary for citizens to resort to physical opposition if the government continues to erode civil liberties and commit international acts of aggression."

Like earlier in the week?

Liberals see a lack of socialism as erosion of civil liberties, and the WOT as international acts of aggression. Here is your "citizens resorting to physical opposition".

You want to change the government? VOTE!!!!

In this country we DO have FREEDOM to vote.

Inciting violence against the duly elected government IS TREASON.
