What can be done about it? Must we wait for the inevitable and expect to restore our liberties in a street fight against the overwhelming power of the state? Not a good option!
The only way that we can prevent blood from running in the streets is to offer a better idea of the proper role of government in a society that desires first and foremost liberty.
And that is impossible without a firm commitment by our thought leaders to the ideas of freedom, the source of all creative energy and prosperity. An all-powerful state is the threat to that ideal.
The prevailing attitude of the people-as it once was in early America-must be that of liberty and self reliance, rather than the nanny state and dependency relying on government force to mold all private choices.
*Ping!*
Kind of an ironic way to start considering he has been one longer than most.
Right! Let the Islamofascists, the Red Chinese and the neocommies take over the world. Paul is naive and dangerous!

Ron Paul believs we deserved 9/11 because he calls America occupiers and Imperial America
I just watched I.O.U.S.A (2008) on netflix instant... I am convinced Ron Paul might be our only hope. America is broke and we are all fu^$ed! if we don;t deal with our debt and spending... we might be screwed either way.
To his cultees, that is just proof he is a ultra, super-dooper Conservative.
I kind of like what Politico had to say in profiling his successor, Gary Johnson, also misled.
“he shares some of [Ron Pauls] libertarian alarmist views, but without the penchant for gold standard wonkiness.”
It should be fun watching two kooks vying for the kookiest award.
He's ultra, super-duper, stark-raving mad.
All of his good ideas go to hades as soon as he spews his blame America bilge.
So you agree with Paul that the CIA has instigated a "coup" and needs to be "taken out"?
If ron paul is our only hope I’m going to blow my brians out...
Save the ammo. He’s NOT.
And then my brains...
LOL
Dave’s not here man. Ron Paul on medical marijuana?
