A winning team for global fascism. A losing team for American freedoms and the peace of the planet.

First of all Ron ... ( 6 months ago by xxashyy)

First of all Ron Paul is right the US government should get its troops out of these other countries. Were not an empire. Second as for this hollowco$t business or racket, thats not why the US entered the war. Also the american public didnt really want to enter that war to begin with. It was not our fight until japan attacked us as a response to FDR and other european powers holding a oil embargo on japan. So we were also lied into WW2. So Ron Paul is right. NO MORE WAR. NO MORE EMPIRE.

Ron Paul has an ... ( 6 months ago by teemuruskeepaa)

Ron Paul has an ironic sense of humor and his speeches are always humoristic. I said 6 months ago that he Ron Paul is idealistic and pro-American in a pre-WW2 sense, isolationist, anti-fed. I said he is excellent speaker but he that going back to the frontier is not realistic. And that Barack Obama with his moderate globalism would be better. Now I can't believe that anymore. He seems to speak against all hierarchy and for anarchism and individual empowerment. Maybe the Americans should votehim

You're right, most ... ( 6 months ago by teemuruskeepaa)

You're right, most dictators are white, middle aged and male. But you are going to be old too. That doesn't force you to give up your opinions.

'the federal reserve is crashing our dollar' - so what would you have the fed do? raise interest rates? i bet you'd have great fun wallowing in the recession. And xxashyy - seriously, are you saying that if Japan hadn't attacked America, you would have been opposed to the US intervening in Europe in 1943/44?

Yes i would have ... ( 6 months ago by xxashyy)

Yes i would have been opposed to America getting into that war and Charles A. Lindbergh was right. Also look at the damage WW2 in the long run caused for us. First of all it wasnt are fight against the Germans, but against the japanese. You know the people who attacked us (shades of Iraq).

Secondly I believe ... ( 6 months ago by xxashyy)

Secondly I believe s soviet assassin or a german patriot would have killed Hilter in the long run which would saved a lot of American lives.

Thirdly and ... ( 6 months ago by xxashyy)

Thirdly and probably the most disastrous was that the war set America and Britain up as some sort of "world policeman" or "democracy promoter" to fight other dictators (other Hitlers)and destroy countries we dont like. Hitler is more dangerous dead than alive. Everytime the US government try and start another war they use Hitler's name to start it. Ever notice that?

As for the fed ... ( 6 months ago by xxashyy)

As for the fed thats a criminal racket anyways and should be abandoned. Is not even a part of the US government, but a private bank in europe. Also the fed is crashing our dollar because theyre printing too much money. Why do people like yourself fall for this nonsense. WW2 was a great war, Iraq is going great, the fed is doing its job, etc, etc, blah, blah. Americans need to open they're minds more.

Obama/Paul '08. Now ... ( 6 months ago by magog1138)

Obama/Paul '08. Now that would be really revolutionary if you ask me- two constitutional politicians that are moderate, defend civil liberties. Sure, not all of their ideas are on par, but I think they present the best ideals of both, and perhaps there would be some middle ground to find compromise. Maybe I'm a naive dreamer, but at least I still have my dreams.

Array ( 6 months ago by EmelinaChaCha)

"Obama/Paul '08."
Not until Obama leaves the CFR. A better match would be kucinich/paul in a new party. The propaganda owned media would never even talk about a new party though. Many states won't even let you write in a candidate if they lost in the primary. I'm still trying to figure out why that is. Aren't I supposed to be able to vote for who I want? With the Diebold, will my vote even count? Our country needs help.. but it will take all of us.. the ruling elite are ruining America.

Ron Paul has been consistently saying this for God knows how long. Our income can't possibly rise as fast as the prices of consumer goods. Gas and groceries surged upwards, while my income didn't rise one cent. The good doctor was the only candidate to even touch upon that.

International ... ( 6 months ago by Soulrazr)

International bankers get nations into war. Declassified documents show the government knew Japan was gonna attack Pearl Harbor. Their has been an "excuse" for every war fought and most of them turn out to be false.
Start of WWI - Archduke Ferdinand Assasinated, assasinations usually scream conspiracy.
WWII - Hitler's rise to power financed by Prescott Bush and others.
Vietnam - Gulf of Tonkin, false flag attack.
etc.

You are in a sick dream world. Talking about politics in a class room is completely different from holding to constitutional principles under fire. Anyways, its painfully clear the Democrats dont believe in principles.

I am not American. ... ( 3 months ago by Caribkele)

I am not American. Just a few points from Ron Paul's speech. America went to war without the approval of congress. This is wrong. America Went to war without the approval of the UN. This is wrong. There are terrorists everywhere. How come the US only seems to invade weaker nuclear deficient regimes. Why not invade North Korea, or China for the Tianemen Massacre, or Pakistan for housing terrorist. The Answer: FEAR!!! and there is no oil or money in it. This is not courage or Nobility.

I am sorry if this ... ( 3 months ago by Caribkele)

I am sorry if this offends. I realize that a lot of people resort to insults to prove their points on youtube. My thoughts are simple observations. The US did nothing about the situation in Zimbabwe or Russia's occupation of Georgian Lands. it is one thing to talk, it is another to act. Why only act on weaker nations. If you are policing the world then it should be indiscriminate. Georgia and North Korea are bigger threats than little Iran. Be brave and remove these threats before fighting Iran

I just watched "Valley of Elah" and I had no idea that our troops are coming home with Post Tramatic Stress Disorder (like the Vietnam Vets) and no one is helping them with the crap that they went through and saw over there. BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!

That is something that has been known about since civil war times, only they called it something else back then, "shellshocked" I believe it was called.
I do not think the government cares what happens to any of us, we are all replaceable, they just let "New Citizens" come in, just like with wetbacks, if the government didn't want them here working for food crumbs we would have the military guarding our border instead of Korea's.
we need to replace our government, and its legal to do so.
