“Ideas are very important to the shaping of society. In fact, they are more powerful than bombings or armies or guns. And this is because ideas are capable of spreading without limit. They are behind all the choices we make. They can transform the world in a way that governments and armies cannot. Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me than fighting with guns or politics or political power. With ideas, we can make real change that lasts.”
— Ron Paul (Liberty Defined: The 50 Urgent Issues That Affect Our Freedom)
“And yet even among the friends of liberty, many people are deceived into believing that government can make them safe from all harm, provide fairly distributed economic security, and improve individual moral behavior. If the government is granted a monopoly on the use of force to achieve these goals, history shows that power is always abused. Every single time.”
— Ron Paul (Liberty Defined: The 50 Urgent Issues That Affect Our Freedom)
“A citizen walking through the airport today is bombarded with 1984-style propaganda messages that are designed to make us fear some amorphous threat and also be suspicious of others. The government designs these messages to make us feel dependent and heavily lorded over in every aspect of our lives. These messages are becoming ever more pervasive, hitting us even in grocery stores when we are shopping.”

The truth hurts, doesn't it? Paul is the man. A TRUE believer in individual liberty, small government, and individual RESPONSIBILITY. Not all of his ideas are perfect, but who's are? And he MUST be dangerous to the powers-that-be, because the media AND the politicians studiously avoid even mentioning his name. Like if they don't say anything about him, the stupid American public will never notice....
He is not afraid to speak the truth! If your not going to win a war, don't fight it! Thought we learned that in Nam!
Absolutely agreed, 3:02. It's a shame it has taken America this long to recognize Paul as a valid candidate. I, personally, wish he wasn't as elderly as he is. Not that being in your 70s makes you incapable, just a little more questionable health-wise.
