It is exciting to chronicle the Ron Paul revolution of hope, liberty, and freedom. You can never accurately gage how far any grassroots movement will go, but his campaign shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Although he has taken on the mantle of leader, it is our actions that have brought success. He continues to perform well in debates and in interviews, and this quarters campaign contribution numbers are expected to be good, which will even further distance him from the bottom pack candidates and give him a better chance at becoming president. We have all witnessed the chuckles, snickers, the taunting, the ridicule, the misrepresentation, and the outright disrespect that some have directed his way. He is focused, refuses to engage in sandbox politics, and continues to put his heart, soul, and body on the line because he sincerely wants to make this country better. He isn't an establishment type, and unlike other politicians, he doesn't wish to further control our lives. America according to Ron Paul would be a safer, freer, more independent, and more liked nation around the world. Ron Paul understands the importance of the constitution and national sovereignty. He believes that they are obstacles to the global elite, and that both are threatened by continued U.S. membership in the United Nations. He views the UN as an undemocratic body that serves as a forum for anti-Americanism, and doesn't wish to see our armed forces under its control. He said, “We should stop worrying about the UN and simply walk away from it by withdrawing our membership and our money. We should demand a return to real national sovereignty, and respect other nations by rejecting our failed interventionist foreign policy.” The United Nations is the necessary mechanism in place for a world government that wishes to control all aspects of our lives. Ron Paul stated, “The choice is very clear: we either follow the constitution or submit to UN global governance.”
It is isn't only the UN that we are ceding more and more sovereignty to. Other unelected and unaccountable organizations like the WTO are also a real threat. Ron Paul said, “the WTO is the third leg of the globalists' plan for a one-world, centrally-managed economic system.” First of all, we don't need a treaty to have trade, and both NAFTA and CAFTA are not about free or fair trade but represent government-managed agreements. Ron Paul is a co-sponsor of resolutions stating that Congress should not engage in the construction of a NAFTA Superhighway or any other agreement that promotes or advances the concept of a NAU. He said, “Any movement toward a North American Union diminishes the ability of average Americans to influence the laws under which they must live.”
Ron Paul advocates a humble foreign policy and believes that we should not entangle ourselves in the affairs of other nations. He said, “We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home.” That means bringing the troops back from Iraq, which he has always viewed as an unconstitutional war in the first place. He wishes to secure our own borders and coastlines and enforce visa rules and is against any sort of amnesty. Ron Paul understands that there is a fine line in becoming a protectionist and isolationist and stated, “Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.”
Many people hear that Ron Paul wants to the end income tax and eliminate the IRS, they like the idea but can't understand how this could possibly be done. He believes that income tax isn't necessary to pay for government services, and by cutting spending overtime it could be eliminated. He said, “Few people know that every penny of the income tax is used to service federal debt.” He went on to say, “If we stop incurring debt, we can quickly end the IRS.” A limited constitutional government with low taxes, one that doesn't interfere in the business of other nations, sounds good to me. Ron Paul has always been on the front lines fighting for our privacy, freedoms, and liberties. Whether it be his opposition to the Patriot Act or the National ID Act, he understands the importance of a free society and recognizes that the biggest threat to it is the government itself. One of the great things about Ron Paul is that it doesn't matter if you find a quote or statement he made yesterday, two months, or five years ago-his principles and philosophy have remained consistent and true to the constitution.
Many in the patriot movement have known for quite sometime that Ron Paul represents what is right with America. It has taken others a little longer to catchup with his message, and I pray that more will wake-up. It is impossible to ever agree with everything someone says or does, but I am convinced that the changes that he would bring about can and will save this country. America and the world would be a much safer and freer place with him as president. If another attack on a country like Iran or Syria doesn't take place before the 2008 elections, his presidency might be one of the only things that could prevent such a strike and further escalation in the Middle East. We all know that just because one man becomes president, things will not automatically change for the better overnight. Improvements will have to be done gradually, but they will not require us making sacrifices at the expense of our freedoms or the constitution. He is the right man to lead us back on the road to recovery and respectability, not only in our own eyes, but in the eyes of all those around the world. Ron Paul's campaign continues to win over the hearts and minds of the people with his simple message of freedom for America.

Ron Paul
Ron Paul is a phony. Paul wants to privatize everything so we'll all be corporate slaves. Paul supports building a fence on the Mexican border, supports deporting undocumented immigrants, and wants to redefine life as beginning at conception which would make abortion an act of murder. Paul opposes a minimum wage, opposes workers rights, supports subsidizing big oil, would further bankrupt the government by eliminating all federal taxes forcing the government to either borrow more money or print its own money causing more debt and inflation. It would also cause individual states to raise taxes. Paul also supports wasting billions on a missile defense system. Paul also has failed to call for an independent investigation of 911 and has so far failed to support Kucinich's bill to impeach Dick Cheney. Paul also voted for the bankruptcy bill protecting the interests of creditors over those who go into debt by making it more difficult to declare bankruptcy. by Ty (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 888 comments [2 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Friday, Sep 28, 2007 at 5:36:27 PM (0+)

Reply: Correction
"Ron Paul is a phony. Paul wants to privatize everything so we'll all be corporate slaves." You don't know what you're talking about. Dr. Paul is against corporate welfare, Ron Paul is against...corporations, they're not natural elements of a free society, they're sanctioned by states, you need to do some research. "Paul supports building a fence on the Mexican border," False. He voted against Wrong. He wants to leave it to the states. "opposes workers rights" How, exactly? He is actually doing a lot for the workers, he just created a bill that will exclude waiters/waitresses from income tax. "supports subsidizing big oil" Wrong again. He is again any subsidization, you're just blatantly lying now. "would further bankrupt the government by eliminating all federal taxes" False, he would cut government "forcing the government to either borrow more money or print its own money causing more debt and inflation." False. We would switch to sound currency, which would eliminate inflation. Yor socialist Kucinich would destroy our economy =) that's why your candidate will go no where, like in 04.. no where, enjoy that fact "Paul also supports wasting billions on a missile defense system." Wrong. He wants to bring the troops home, close the bases, and cut our defense Other lies.. I could educate you on free market economics, due to the fact that socialism is horrible, but I don't think you're worth it. You're just a liar, attacking a great man. Go research him, stop lying by Joseph the Libertarian (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 1 comments) on Saturday, Sep 29, 2007 at 2:27:11 PM (0+)

Reply: Bravo
I admire you terrific response. Nicely done. What is apparent to me, and maybe to you also, is that there are some neocons and CFR-supporters in the bushes, waiting to post nasty lies about Congressman Paul. RedState is the worst, and if you set them straight they will block you. Anyhow, good work. by zenpiper (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 16 comments) on Saturday, Sep 29, 2007 at 8:54:32 PM (0+)

Paul
If Paul opposes the UN for being undemocratic then he should also oppose America for being undemocratic as well. Using Paul's logic regarding the UN, we should also dissolve our own government and create anarchy since our own government is also undemocratic. Here's my own idea. Why don't we make both America and the UN both democratic? The UN can be made democratic by abolishing the Security Council and instead have the General Assembly be the only decision making body of the UN as well as have direct election by national referendums for each country to choose their own representative for the General Assembly. by Ty (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 888 comments [2 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Friday, Sep 28, 2007 at 5:51:16 PM (0+)

Excellent Review of Dr. Paul
Just like to add two more very important aspect to Dr. Paul's platform and that is: the fact that he will eliminate foreign aid, which makes him an enemy of AIPAC and 2) he will attempt to 'unprivatize' the Federal Reserve (which is as federal as Federal Express) and make this a nation of savers, instead of debtors, again. Thanks again for taking the time to bring attention to a great American.

Anti CFR Ron Paul
The most important thing about Ron Paul is that he is opposed to the global elite-CFR crowd and wants to end their power by eliminating the Federal Reserve System. Ron Paul is an authentic populist and opponent of the Iraq Occupation and deserves consideration from democrats and other populists. by wraft (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 54 comments) on Saturday, Sep 29, 2007 at 8:57:18 AM (0+)

Interesting smears
It is always amusing to see various individuals post wild assumptions and allegations about Congressman Paul. Some of the posts here are just crazy and mean-spirited. Facts and a reasonable tone might assist the posters' credibility. I like Ron Paul. His defending the Constition and putting forward an agenda of freedom is a threat to many, particularly the Neocons and the Council members. Anyhow, if others want to call him names (as Richard Brookheiser admirably did: "pencil-head") its more out of desperation than of substance. by zenpiper (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 16 comments) on Saturday, Sep 29, 2007 at 11:48:22 AM (0+)

North American Union
Anyone unfamiliar with North American Union should be compelled to research the subject on your own. Preferably before you recieve a paycheck paid in the Amero. American soveriegnty will apear with an asterisk in the history books along with the name of Barry Bonds. Do your homework and tell a friend. by Robert Blum (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 1 comments) on Saturday, Sep 29, 2007 at 4:06:13 PM (0+)

A Beautiful Piece of Writing
Dana Gabriel's piece "America According to Ron Paul" is beautiful for its simplicity. by Whitetop (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 4 comments) on Saturday, Sep 29, 2007 at 7:40:32 PM (0+)

I agree with Robert Blum
This writer made an excellent point: wake up to the likelihood of the North American Union before it's too late. This is a CFR initiative and will end our Republic as we know it. Nobody elected the CFR; nobody asked asked them to compromise the sovereignty of our Republic. Therefore two things must be done - often and frequently: Contact your reps in the House and Senate and let them know that you (as a constituent) vigorously oppose any union with Canada and Mexico. And, 2) Spread the word - far and wide - about the Council on Foreign Relations. If there is a real, ominous threat to our country, it is not al Quaeda, Bin Laden or terrorists: it is the Council on Foreign Relations and its 4,500 members. by zenpiper (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 16 comments) on Sunday, Sep 30, 2007 at 12:20:05 PM (0+)
