Land of the Free- Ron Paul Thread
- Thread starter Lumi
- Start date
Let's not let the MSM and pundits extinguish the fires of freedom and liberty that a man like Dr. Ron Paul can restore.
He was laughed at, minimized by all of the large media conglomerates.
Not this time around !
We the People need to stand up and be heard, allow Ron Paul to be heard.
Here at MJ's it is the same response, "I would vote for him if he had a chance"
He does have a chance, if all of us push for our Liberties to be restored.

Somewhere in the desert of the void
Beyond the wall
We're the last survivors
We're the ones who'll never fall
Men inside the circle leave the night!
Darkness al around us
Not a single beam of light
All we have is our faith
Waiting for the fight
The time has come to break the outer wall
Grab your heart I'll show you the way
Hold you head up high
High above at the edge of the world
We're searching for glory and peace
When the time has come, you will see
Our return to the land of the free
Men inside the cirlce
Tell me what you feel and see
Delusions of reality
The mirror of your dreams
Hold you ground
And I'll show you the way
Now hold your head up high
Chorus / Solo: Kai / Dirk / Kai / Dirk
And when the cracks appear upon the wall
We know the moments here to see it fall
And as the sunlight appears again in our sky
No wall, no more, no more will darken our life

Call it the Ron Paul Revolution
While no personality should be followed, rather the ideals they represent, the necessity to reclaim the Tea Party is apparent. By naming it the ?Ron Paul Revolution? it will become virtually impossible to commandeer without conceding to the ideals of Constitutionalism, minimal government, non-interventionism, and ending the Federal Reserve. Impossible indeed would it be to slip in the disingenuous continuation of the doomed ever-convergent left/right agenda.
By battling for the leadership of the Tea Party, now thoroughly infested by Neo-Conservatives and feckless career Republicans, we are needlessly expending our energy. The very name ?Tea Party? invites ambiguity amongst which vile infiltrators can peddle agendas nothing at all related to restoring and upholding the US Constitution. In fact, it has allowed the Ron Paul Revolution, from which the Tea Party was spawned, to be pushed back toward the controlled left/right paradigm.
Ron Paul has dedicated his life to his nation, a dedication one needs only to examine archival videos to observe and note its consistency over more than two decades. That is something none of the impostors infiltrating the Tea Party now can claim, including the disingenuous Glenn Beck and his feckless intellectually compromised counterpart Sarah Palin. These are the same talking heads that have been misleading the country all along, repackaged and resold under the brand ?Tea Party.?
In the 2008 election, despite Ron Paul not being on the ballot, I sent in my vote all the way from Thailand with his name written in. It was not so much a vote for Ron Paul himself, as he was no longer in the race, but rather the ideals he represents. There is no sense at all voting between establishment controlled, career liars like Barack Obama or John McCain. Their servile obedience and dependency on the corporations that fund their campaigns and write their talking points within the halls of the globalist think-tanks ensures unequivocally their betrayal of their campaign promises, their betrayal of the American people, and perhaps most egregious of all, their betrayal of the US Constitution.
There is no lesser of two evils, and to vote for either one is as fruitful as not voting at all.
Ultimately, the corporate-financier oligarchs will destroy ?their? America entirely before conceding to a fair and free election where someone beyond their sponsorship is given the reins of power. This is why it is important for us to systematically boycott and replace the current system and build a network of local, viable alternatives a real president can preside over ? a president who truly represents the will of the people and above all is obedient to the US Constitution. This can only be done through financial and economic independence from the Fortune 500.
Come hell or high water, when the 2012 election comes, Ron Paul?s name is going on the ballot again whether he is in the race or not. Certainly the feckless stooges vying now for the Republican candidacy to face off against the treasonous Barack Obama gives us another false and ultimately self-defeating choice. I am not part of the Tea Party, I am a part of the Ron Paul Revolution.

by Ron Paul
Congress focused on issues surrounding government spending this week as talk of deficits, the national debt, and the debt limit saturated the airwaves. This is a positive development. In years past, there was very little concern over how much was spent here in Washington, how it was spent, or how much of our gross domestic product was being consumed by government. That blissful ignorance naturally resulted in decades of government spending with impunity, bringing us to where we are today: trillions in debt with astronomical entitlement obligations that will be impossible to fulfill in the not too distant future. So it is a good thing that there is so much political pressure now on our leaders to actually put the brakes on runaway spending.
However, even the most generous estimate of the spending cut passed this week ? $38.5 billion ? is a paltry 3.5% of the $1.05 trillion in spending through the next 5 months. This hardly makes a dent in our government?s mountain of debt. Even worse than that, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stripped away the accounting sleights of hand and scored it as only $352 million in cuts, which works out to less than half of one percent of spending. Still, the tiniest cut is better than the massive increases we have become accustomed to in federal budgets.
Of course, our disastrous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are not even included in this budget as they are considered emergency spending. They constitute $3.3 billion in spending in the same period of time, so they more than cancel out any small cuts the warmongers may crow about.
I voted against the legislation funding government for the remainder of this year, as well as next year?s budget because, as in years past, government spends far too much on unconstitutional programs. In spite of any rhetoric about fiscal responsibility, a point three percent (0.3%) cut does not suddenly make the rest of the spending constitutional or responsible. And, if the American people do not continue to hold the politicians? feet to the fire, you can be sure we will see massive spending increases again in the future.
In addition to Congress? spending, many Americans are finally paying attention to the spending done by unelected banking cronies at the Federal Reserve. Recently the Fed was forced to reveal some details of loans given out during the financial crisis of 2008 and they are truly shocking. Matt Taibbi points out in a recent Rolling Stone article that two very well-connected Wall Street wives got together and formed a real estate investment company that garnered $220 million in so-called ?loans? (free money) from the Fed. Compare this number to the $352 million in spending cuts the CBO says are in the current budget! A few months later, one of the wives bought a $13.5 million personal residence with her husband, the CEO of Morgan Stanley.
The unelected, unaccountable Fed hands out as much or more money this way as our federal government spends, and yet receives hardly any attention. This is why I believe transparency of the Fed is a critical step to regaining control of our financial situation in this country. We can never get meaningful reforms if all eyes are on the $352 million so-called cuts, and transactions like the $220 million given to Wall Street cronies are done in the shadows. This is why I have reintroduced my Audit the Fed bill to this Congress. HR 1207 is now HR 459 and is essential to true fiscal reform and responsibility

Ron Paul's 'Liberty Defined'
Ron Paul's 'Liberty Defined'
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Were Dr. Paul a typical American ruler, he would be far more familiar with lobbyists and menus at four-star restaurants than with anarcho-capitalists from the 19th century. And if by some bizarre happenstance, he had actually heard of Spooner, he would vilify and denounce him for his vigorous hostility against government. But of course, Dr. Paul is as unusual as freedom is.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]That accounts for his ?cult-like following,? the smear with which statists dismiss those Americans who yearn for the ?individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and ? noninterventionist foreign policy? that Dr. Paul has always championed. It accounts as well for the fact that though I am an anarcho-capitalist who would never buy (in any sense of the word) a politician?s prattle, let alone recommend it, I happily break that rule for Dr. Paul and Liberty Defined[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Maybe you?ve studied political ph[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]ilosophy extensively; Liberty Defined, though as ?accessible? and ?easy to digest? as its publisher promises, will still thrill you. Here is a Congressman of 12 terms who spouts such condemnations of government as, ?Do our leaders in Washington believe in liberty? They sometimes say they do. I don?t think they are telling the truth.? A page later, he briefly reviews the wars and genocide of the 20th century to warn that ?the threat of government today, all over the world, may well present a greater danger than anything that occurred? then. All this, and we haven?t even left the Introduction![/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Unfortunately, their enthusiasm often exceeds their knowledge of freedom?s philosophy. One reader of campaignforliberty.com, the website Dr. Paul founded, comments that ?Ron Paul is an amazing person and he's really got me into the ideas of libertarianism/free markets? but then lauds ?public/socialized healthcare? in Canada and by extension ObamaCare. Another defends government?s regulation of smoking on aircraft because he is ?old enough to have experienced many flights without any smoking restrictions at all and they were not pleasant.?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]It?s these folks and those who have yet to consider freedom?s blessings who most need Liberty Defined. Dr. Paul alternately teaches and preaches with his trademark tact, then applies freedom?s tenets to 50 issues ? everything from Abortion and Austrian Economics, through CIA, Discrimination, Education, Gun Control, and Monetary Policy to Security, Surveillance, and Unions.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Each subject forms a chapter averaging seven pages, all of which are remarkably free of jargon (perhaps we?re benefitting from Dr. Paul?s earning a degree in medicine rather than law); ?the idea of this book,? Dr. Paul tells us, ?is not to provide a blueprint for the future or an all-encompassing defense of a libertarian program. What I offer here are thoughts on a series of controversial topics that tend to confuse people, and these are interpreted in light of my own experience and my thinking.? He adds with characteristic humility, ?I present not final answers but rather guideposts for thinking seriously about these topics. I certainly do not expect every reader to agree with my beliefs.? But let?s hope for liberty?s sake that most do.[/FONT]
