Who is Ron Paul?

[lazs2]

thanks rolex.. saved me the trouble.. I don't think our subject of the king understands our constitution as well as he thinks he does.

hortlund..  are you saying that under a libertarian government we would have less freedom and opportunity than under a socialist one?  I really think that you are.

I hope that you are not saying that the UN and all the world court are a good thing for America too.

regardless of what you may think of my reasoning...  I am smart enough to have your little socialist liberal persona pegged.

he's attempting to discredit RP to a liberal audience by disecting his voting record, but I think it may have to opposite affect on some.

 Research of his voting record and his standards .....
also that he is not talking like a fart in a WhirlWind ....or running lip service .

The primary will be the only battle.  If he doesn't drop out before that.

(Businessweek) Ron Paul on the Evil Fed, the IRS, and Saving the Buck

Who are your economic advisers?

I don't have any. I read Austrian economics, which I've been doing for 30 years. So my advisers have been [von] Mises and Hayek and Sennholz.

If you don't know what Austrian economics is, here's a good reference: Austrian economics vs. Bernanke's Economics

Here's a great rundown of RP's positions, from the CFR, of all places...

On Iran:

In a speech before the House in April 2007, Paul (R-TX) criticized what he sees as neoconservative efforts to drum up support for military action against Iran. Paul said that although the country “is hardly a perfect democracy, its system is far superior to most of our Arab allies about which we never complain.” The Texas congressman warned that a war against Iran would be disastrous and dismissed the justifications for military action against Iran as “propaganda,” saying that “Iran doesn’t have a nuke and is nowhere close to getting one, according to the CIA.” Instead, Paul advocates a policy of non-interventionism.

Ronald Reagan & Ron Paul Then and Now

Dr. Paul's comments at the end are (typically for RP) prescient, considering the revelations regarding Iran in the last couple of days.

[bsdaddict]

Couple more Ron (Reagan) and Ron (Paul) vids worthy of sharing...

Defenders of the Republic (1 min)

Defenders of Liberty (6 min) (this one includes the Reagan speech that  I quote in my sig...)

Common Sense (7 min) (highlights speeches by GWB, RR and RP)

[AWMac]

Still soon to come...

RP's "I have a Dream.." .

RP's "Ask not what you can do for your Country...."

RP's "Checkers."

RP's "Mein Kampf."

RP's "Gettysburg Address."

RP's "Give me Liberty or Give me Death."

RP's "Preamble."

RP's "Declaration of Independence."

RP writes some good stuff.

yep... ron paul is one of the last few honest enough to mention the coup of '53 when discussing iran.

irony tho... iran was instrumental in helping crush the taliban in afghanistan  ... only to be slapped in the face with the axis of evil propaganda afterwards.

below the smoke screen of deceit the neo-con's hidden agenda for iran is the same as it was for iraq... to stop the oil from inking the euro.

with dubai bailing out citibank... china financing the war... and venezuela and iran going to the euro for oil sales... ron paul is right that the empire in denial has no clothes.

they probably want to devalue and decimate the usd and then say... 'hey....checkout this amero and the nau!'.

= He is a lunatic

by the way, Dr. Paul does not want to go back on the gold standard. He just wants gold backed money to be able to compete, by eliminating legal tender laws or by making gold legal tender.

Press Release:  Ron Paul: Romney’s Faith Should Not be an Issue

December 6, 2007 12:19 am EST

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – In light of Governor Romney’s anticipated “religion speech,” fellow Republican candidate Ron Paul issued the following statement:

“We live in times of great uncertainty when men of faith must stand up for American values and traditions before they are washed away in a sea of fear and relativism. I have never been one who is particularly comfortable talking about my faith in the political arena, and I find the pandering that typically occurs in the election season to be distasteful.

 Our nation was founded to be a place where religion is freely practiced and differences are tolerated and respected. I come to my faith through Jesus Christ and have accepted him as my personal savior. At the same time, I have worked tirelessly to defend and restore individual rights and religious freedom for all Americans.

 The recent attacks and insinuations, both direct and subtle, that Gov. Romney may be less fit to serve as president of our United States because of his faith fly in the face of everything America stands for. Gov. Romney should be judged fairly, on his record and his character, not on the church he attends.”
