Quotes Of The Day - Ron Paul Edition
“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
“Under the United States Constitution, the federal government has no authority to hold states “accountable” for their education performance…In the free society envisioned by the founders, schools are held accountable to parents, not federal bureaucrats.”
- Ron Paul
“I’m convinced that you never have to give up liberties to be safe. I think you’re less safe when you give up your liberties.”
- Ron Paul
“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.”
- Ron Paul
“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.”
- Ron Paul, The Revolution: A Manifesto
“Mr. Speaker, I once again find myself compelled to vote against the annual budget resolution for a very simple reason: it makes government bigger.”
- Ron Paul
“The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free.”
- Ron Paul
“Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.”
- Ron Paul
“Failure of government programs prompts more determined effort, while the loss of liberty is ignored or rationalized away…whether is it is the war on poverty, drugs, terrorism…or the current Hitler of the day, an appeal to patriotism is used to convince the people that a little sacrifice of liberty, here or there, is a small price to pay…The results, though, are frightening and will soon become even more so.”
- Ron Paul
“When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.”
- Ron Paul
“A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank.”
- Ron Paul
“Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it’s realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy.”
- Ron Paul
“The original American patriots were those individuals brave enough to resist with force the oppressive power of King George…Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security.”
- Ron Paul
“As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined.”
- Ron Paul
“It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking.”
“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.”

Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild…"
Sadly, Spielberg’s Christmas Day present, the War Horse, is a movie debut which would have been more appropriate for Hanukkah since that represents a battle, but the most significant part from Spielberg’s "never-forget" viewpoint and the WWI War Horse spiel is that the enemy instead of the Syrian Greek Emperor Antiochus is the Germans…
What does Christmas have to do with all that stuff you quoted?
Christ wasn't born anywhere near Dec 25.
The day you call "Christmas" was celebrated 2,000 years before Christ.
The Catholic church tried to "Christianize" it saying it was Christ's birthday, when Christ was actually born around the end of September.
... and he told us do NOT use man's religious festivals to worship him, he considers it blasphemy.
Trooping of the Colour is the day that the official birthday of the British Sovereign is celebrated. ToC falls on the second Saturday in June. But the QE II was born on 21 April 1926.
Which begs the questions, so what?
As to your interpretation of what constitutes blasphemy, I'll defer to that of the Christian faithfull. They have been around longer than you, and sounds like they have a better grasp on this issue.
BTW Merry Christmas:)
its no coincidence that so many here who were offering up effusive praise for obama last election cycle, now love ron paul
amazing to see the 180 degree change in many who defended obama all the time, now, decide he's no good - how long before we see the ron paul fade
It is no coincidence that your mischaracterization of Ron Paul supporters is a full blown lie.
I'll take a Ron Paul vote from anyone. I don't disagree they are idiots, but useful. W. Banzai is one, for example.
Does not mean we should turn his vote away.
The red arrow - does that mean we should turn away idiot voters? Disallow their votes? I'm confused.
The really weird thing to me is, Karl Dennigger [market-tick er facist] and William Banzi [the photochopper] voted for the same exact candidate for President last cycle. Am I the only one who finds that weird? Who would have thunk they would be on the same side? Strange but true.
Obama was/is an exceptional liar. He fooled a shit load of people -- many of which now see the truth in his actions. He is wall street puppet.
Full disclosure: I think both parties suck and have sold out the working class.
almost half the country knew this at the time of the last election and were not fooled. now we all suffer. those who blindly voted for obama now wish to give voting advice
He wasn't a very good liar. Anyone who wanted to know the truth could find it.
As if there were better options available. Douche versus turd. Pick one. LOL.
RP actually presents the first opportunity in a long time to improve upon this. Will be interesting to see if he makes it. Have a feeling that as his numbers improve (and they will) the media is going to mount a full blown assault. That is where it will get interesting. Either it will rip him apart, or he will be propelled right to front of the pack.
Mitt Romney has it in the bag.
Endorsements flying in left and right.
RP has no chance of winning, neither does Gingrich
But should Paul win the nomination you'll predict it a day later.
If RP's support is imaged by those who support him here, he is in the bag. Same vitriol as the Left.
I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
you know how to win the stock market. do the Opposite of robo and you will win everytime
Robo is winning the future...with 20/20 hindsight.
Your mom is looking for you.
Once this Christmas binge is over and the economics of failure set in starting Q1 (Celente is calling is for January) then people will begin waking up in droves. That will be the shock he needs to get his message heard. No one will care about his foriegn policy views, which I happen to think are right.
I use my Youtube channel chronicle my efforts through email to family, state officials and even letters to the editor.
Here is this weeks letter in support of Ron Paul: http://youtu.be/22EpH5PcyuQ
@ Robo....now which lightweights you say are behind Romney now?

You are correct, Mitt has the GOP , he cannot win the Nomination, or the Presidency is lost.Romnet got GW Jr's endorsement.That means HE's their REAL PUPPET>

America's last chance- if u dont support RP u r a cop troll
While I like that he seems to be a principled person, the recent indiscretions regarding his newsletter are entirely damning. Even if he didn't write them (I'm assuming he didn't), it still represents a collosal failure at delegation and oversight of the people he gives authority to...perhaps the single most important function of a president. He brings something interesting and needed to the table (especially the GOP), but IMO he is clearly not presidential material.
http://www.redstate.com/leon_h_wolf/2011/12/22/about-those-racist-ron-pa...
His opponents trotted this out last election too. Its old , tired and twisted news to smear him.
Who is by your standard - the one you just held Paul to? Name one candidate who does not have some issue?
None. But I'd rather have a political Ken doll whose beliefs twist in the wind of public opinion than one who apparently delegates horribly with no oversight for years.
Good luck with that. You don't seem to be a very deep thinker.
Oh. political Ken doll would be Romney. So you like voting for entrenched bankers that flip- flop a lot on their views.
You are right. It is better to be enslaved by the same kleptocrats than to be free with a President who made one mistake once when he was out of public office and was in private practice delivering babies.
Incidentally, someone linked to a shitty redstate garbage above about Ron Paul discussing his newsletters and that he "knew" what was in them. Well the Newsletter itself, the investment newsletter that Ron Paul quotes in this video, was being distributed since the 1970's and at no time before or after these supposedly racist remarks, which seem to me to be more stereotyping than racist but let's not get lost in semantics, were there any other like remarks. So that being said, when Ron Paul commented on his Newsletters, and claim he didn't know what was in them at the time, can be accurate if he was negligent in controlling what was in them outside of the regular investment information.
This is no way endorsing racism or apologizing for the remarks but I don't believe that Ron Paul would have put those in or let them stay in because there is no other evidence to support that he would at any other time. And if he were in private life, working as a doctor with no intention of returning to government, perhaps he was focusing on his private career more than the other things going on around him and certainly not focusing on what someone wrote in his newsletter for fear of it biting him in the ass in some political way.
Did you know that the military is permitted to engage in action which they believe will kill 49 civilians or less without consulting the White House? Talk about lack of responsible delegation.
Is using cocaine a colossal failure of responsibility? I guess you should ask President Barack Obama that one. I can not remember a time that anyone ever talked about Ron Paul using cocaine. It must be because he **apparently** is an upstanding citizen.
Rebuttalfail.
That's fine, I respect your opinion. Now just vote for Ron Paul.
Indescretions? Surely you jest! Please read Dr. Paul's full description of the events in question and ask yourself - could this have been an honest, novice oversight? Are there additional incidents to support such a view? Perhaps a former governor who goes out of his way to remove all evidence of his past while in office by removing all the computers with any email and communication capabilities is better suited for the presidentcy. Or perhaps a former Speaker of the House who has mysteriously garnered a fortune while in office and has flip-flopped on his proported values more times than he's cheated on his wives is better yet? Still, we could choose a far right wing Christian who believes her values should be foisted on all Americans? Wait, there's more! We could choose a former Senator who believes American needs to bomb all those nations who don't follow 'the American Way'.
Puleese! Do these politicians even come close to representing tru hard-working, honest Americans? When i spent time in Europe as a youth I was amazed that Europeans either hated or loved Americans. There was no in-between. Age brings wisdom, when will we learn?
Good grief.
Fuck CNN and the rest of the lame stream media.
CNN Lobs Veiled Charges of Racism at Ron Paul *Video*http://www.youtube.com/v/DXWmISSfM9k?version=3&hl=en_US
The CNN reporter who annoyed the good doctor is married to a DC lobbyist. No conflict of interest there.
gloria borger is a paid-to-say, pos --- as are all msm reporters
david gergin --- another,pos!
Gloria says (Dr. Paul backs away from her in disgust) "You understand it's our job to ask."
You understand, Gloria, that "just doing our job" was an unsuccessful Nazi defense, right?
He's the only non-establishment candidate as anyone with half a brain in his head can see, so even if he wrote that stupid racist crap (which he didnt) get over it-it was twenty years ago & its not that big a deal anyway black people are racist too
As much as I like some of the things that RP preaches, unfortunately, if you question whether we are in a depression or not there won't be any question about it if RP gets elected. We will have one.
I think we are going to enter a depression regardless of what version of economic planning is put in place, mainly because debt is growing faster than growth and we have to have a massive deleveraging (debt growing at 11% CAGR, growth 4% as per a recent paper, though I forget which one and when the starting point was, forgive me for my lack of details, it's somewhere in my email and was posted here a couple of weeks ago).
The question is do you want a depression with or without a police state and perpetual war?
Absolutely. But it will be there only to avoid an all out and complete systemic collapse later on when the can kicking finally fails.
We MUST have ALL OUT SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE of the current predatory financial system to have any hope of changing it.
Unfortunately Ron Paul won't be able to stop it. No president can make any significant change in this predatory banker-controlled government by himself.
But then it's not unfortunate. Because it has to happen.
So true & such a sick sign that free market principles are now an enemy of the state. He, or someone like him will ultimately take the helm but I doubt through either of these corrupt political parties.
Thank you, Mr. Krugman.
I'm a fast-crash advocate. The faster we crash, the sooner we stop wasting the last real resources in the system and the more quickly we can rebuild afterward.
I would submit that if we'd told Fannie and the IBs to go pound sand and voted down the TARP, we'd be rebuilding right now, in a environment free of banker influence.
We will have a depression whether or not RP gets elected. The revelant question is how long will it last and who will be hurt the most by it?
Review history and look at what governments have done in the past. It is surprisingly(?) consistent. They have only done what was in the best interests of centralized power. The end result having been economic collapse and societal ruin. Dr. Paul is the only candidate with any economic understanding of both the current situation and the historical precedents.
"They offer superficial treatments for my people's mortal wound. They give assurances of peace when there is no peace."
Jeremiah 6:14
I generally don't like biblical quotes but that is one that I think people can easily relate to this situation. The only thing Ron Paul is promising is adherence to the constitution and an end to aggressive offensive war.
I am hopeful he will win the Republican nomination.
Even if he doesn't win the presidency, I would probably get wood watching him tear O a new orifice during the televised debates over the NDAA, the Forever Wars in southwest Asia, what a banker tool he's been, and just generally how he's turned the 4th amendment into a shitrag.
Everyone answers to someone, even the president of the United States. If Ron Paul actually wins, it will be interesting to see how long he can last by firing branches of the government. All those people, as much as I feel that the rest of us do not need to pay their salaries, HAVE to go somewhere. Making them all unemployed is actually quite scary.
We better make up some new government agencies where people can work. That was a great system they had in Eastern Europe, everybody had a job, everybody worked for the government. Let's bring that back.

Ron Paul gets more donations from government workers than do the other candidates. Funny but true.
I don't find it funny I find it sad that people don't realize these facts about the soldiers and government employees supporting him most.
Something to tell the media regarding their "he wrote incendiary racist things 20 years ago" narrative they are trying to perpetuate.
From The Daily Caller:
"A (CNN/Opinion Research) poll released Tuesday found that in head-to-head election match-ups between President Barack Obama and various Republican presidential candidates, Texas Rep. Ron Paul fared best among non-white voters...."
http://tiny.cc/8hsft
I have a message for you (alleged) patriots out there:
If Ron Paul gets elected and you don't back him up with a full-on bullets-flying revolution, you're not worthy of Ron Paul, you're not worthy of freedom nor liberty, and you deserve to be slaves in the police state gulag America is turning into.
Ron Paul CANNOT change the direction of this massive predatory government on his own.
Medication time.
Double the meds, the holidaze are stressful.
What concerns me is how many of the troops will put down their rifles when their Commander in Chief orders them against their own people. Because when this revolution happens, you had better believe those in power will cling on with Gaddafi-like claws.
Nah, man, the army isn't going to crack heads on the people. That's their families and shit. Some cops, yes. The military, no.
"Four Dead in Ohio!"
cnn&y
Last I heard. US military comprised of "volunteers", aka mercenaries, so be afraid be very afraid.
They won't hesitate to bring in UN "peacekeepers" either.
Blue helmets make good targets.
Granted he can't change everything singlehandedly but he would have the veto, which would be a very powerful tool. Plus as part of the awakening that would occur to elect him, many repubs would rediscover their small government roots... we can hope, anyway.
that worked well last time.
We may be forced to stand up.. they WILL attempt to end his campaign PERMANENTLY! I pray to ALMIGHTY GOD that they do not succeed..
Ron Paul is for peace and letting ideas change the masses.
A revolution of the mind is more powerful than any armed conflict.

My favorite RP Quote:
"Foreign aid is taking money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries."
Wait did Ron Paul say/write that or did someone writing in his name say/write that?
So hard to tell...
It's not hard for anyone who has been paying attention to determine. Do you often offer strong opinions on things of which you have little knowledge?
I'm saying its B. S. !!! It's the MSM character assassination machine in full bore DESTROY mode..
Who gives a flying fuck? I can't believe that Hedgies can be exercised by this stuff.
It is pretty evident to me that the various statements (I have read them) represent little more than a flicker of hope that something besides PC-multi-culti bullshit might still be expressed in these United States, always bragging of their freedoms.
Yeah, right. De Tocqueville 180 years ago mused on the paradox embodied in the situations of the US and Tsarist Russia. In the US, he noted, one had the legal right to freedom of thought and expression, yet nowhere was there more ridgid conformity in thought and attitude. In Russia, a police apparatus was in place to enforce certain views and attitudes, yet the Russians enjoyed in reality a vigorous debate on all issues.
Just turn the guns around for a moment and think matters through. We have been required to pretend (with the aid of endless propaganda) that race does not matter.
Just think about it.
Despite whatever may be urged against him, Ron Paul genuinely believes in freedom, and has put his life on the line to present his views. He is the only serious candidate, in either party. This is why TPTB hate him. he does not belong to them, although they will burn the midnight oil trying to figure out how to turn his presidency to their advantage. It's what they do.
It is of course true that any administration he heads will be filled perforce with many who have only a tenuous link to his views and attitudes.
So what? It was ever thus. Support RP!

If your head was out of Retal Defilade the past 30yrs(you weren't around), you would know they came directly from the MAN.
Since your likely 25, you are a dipshit, making dipshit comments.
Most wars of the last 100 years ended with some kind of private central bank consolidation.
O yeah!
Say it with feeling Ron - say it again and again!
Now that the sheeple are beginning to awaken they need to hear some insightful truths from an honest man.
Superman reads Ron Paul comic books.
ha, ha, ZH is now doing what is logical, not just as a financial community, but as a community of caring CITIZENS; promoting a political hope. As the problem in the US of A is political. There is a vacuum, has been, for thirty years; filled by economic/industrial Oligarchs who control the political process to their benefit, in this financialised, outsourced ponzi game.
In order to do RESET on financial/economic front we need a true Political head who cleans out the ELECTED Congressional mess.
The USA has to re-become a true Democracy, where the people have a say. In order to rebecome an industrial nation and have a financial sector that is not economic blood sucker and a government financed MIC world killer for Oligarchy.
This man says the words that have the ring of truth.
That in itself is a blessing, the first tolling of the Liberty Bell, in JeffersonLAnd!
For whom does that bell toll?
I think we all know the answer. EH Bitchez!!
Go ring that bell and let it ring all the way to election victory...
RP will never be elected president becuase he has two first names...
He has three first names: Ronald Ernest Paul.
Thanks for the additonal support to my hypothesis. Merry Christmas!
Actually I destroyed your hypothesis and concretely demonstrated that you have not even mastered the ability to count to three.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOrgLj9lOwk
His son has two first names. He was named to defeat the Rand corporation.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that takes the police state narrative seriously, has been spot-on concerning the Federal Reserve, objects to the militarization of police, believes that we have right to do whatever to do to our bodies (even if it harms us, and no, the role of the government is not to save us from ourselves), and is actually willing to subjugate our foreign policy of nation-building and democracy-spreading-at-the-barrel-of-a-gun to a critical analysis. He has also been nearly prophetic concerning Iraq and the bubble economy's meltdown.
This is a no brainer to me.
This is a no brainer to me.
No kidding, couldn't agree more.
Unfortunatley there are actual no brainers in the world and they outnumber those of us with brains.
If it's nuts to believe that:
Our currency should be supported by something besides our collective faith that the US government will get its spending under control.
We should find out if a country is really a threat to us before we invade it.
People should get paid for productive work rather than frontrunning the Fed action and convincing European countries to take on debt they can't pay back.
The US government should not have the right to detain its own citizens indefinitely on vague suspicions....
then I'm ready to ride the RP crazy train, so sign me up, baby.
Call me a certified wacko. I'm on board as a God fearing, family protecting, freedom loving, DHS labeled terrorist.
Let's go CrAzY! RP in a L

Ron Paul is my only reason right now that I do not want things to fail. If he is successful, it could be a wonderous time to be around. Otherwise, this economy can go to hell in a handbasket for all I care.
Why wasn't there a post of when Ron Paul bailed out on that CNN interview? Or should we just excuse that as a "gotcha type question"?
How many times should the media ask a question which Dr. Paul has already answered?

Annoying, isn't it?
Besides that CNN didn't present the "interview" as a full time sequence it was cut and edited so who knows if when he "walked out" if the interview was actually over or not. Besides that he was being polite and did answer the question three times in a row to that woman.
"Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free."
Replace decisions with the word comments in the above statement... and then read it again...
Someday real freedom will be awesome... I hope my Grand kids are alive to experience it...
Thanks ZH gang 4 allowing both the good and bad..!!!
RP is my man!
You have two choices America, Obama or Ron Paul. If you want to continue to be held hostage by the FED, ECB, IMF and their global banking cartel then go ahead and vote for any other Republican because this will insure a victory for Obama. If you like the path America is on and look forward to being 20 TRILLION in debt by 2015 then by all means just vote for Obama himself. If you would like to see a war in the middle East that will drag in countries like China and Russia then just go ahead and vote for someone other then Ron Paul and let's just send our children off to be slaughtered. You see the stage has been set for the final performance and the only person that will change the script is Ron Paul. I somehow doubt that Ron Paul would surround himself by a staff consisting of ex Goldman Sachs CRONIES and would allow for Bernanke to continue to bury America in debt that can never be repaid. If we let the chips fall where they may and allow Wall St. to burn, Main St. will rise up from the ashes and get America productive again. Until we release ourselves from the grip the Banking Syndicate has on America, this country will just continue its decline into the abyss...
My feelings exactly.. our LAST H O P E !!!
Personally speaking, I don't believe in messiahs.
Ron Paul? Eh, who knows. Probably better than the others, but he also has some kooky ideas. American Empire is on a path to collapse no matter what.
Best to just prepare for this inevitable outcome.
he also has some kooky ideas...
Can they be any kookier than implementing an economic recovery program designed by the honorable Governor Corzine that can't even remember what ever became of frn 1.2B entrusted to his care by farmers that will now not be able to plant this coming year due to the physical loss of the "seed corn"? You know, the commodities market is actually made up of commodities, and you can't eat the stuff conjured up by Dr. Bernanke. IT TAKES REAL SEED, REAL ESTATE AND REAL HARD WORK.
Ron Paul is the last hope for America. If he does not win, then the elite will move into the End Game, and crash the world economy for their own benefit. The elite and the Central Banks are pushing the price of physical gold down, and buying all the product they can get their hands on, which suggests that 2012/2013 will be when they let the entire world go down in flames.

Not a psychologically sound idea for a non-globalist to run for president. But it is courageous and a great way to go for someone with principles and 76 years old. Gynocologist, politician, President...it might be ok. I vote for Ron Paul.
While I agree with 95% of what Ron Paul says - and he is a decent and honourable man to boot - he is an economic Luddite and his proposed polices would benefit a small minority (including me!) but they would impoverish over 300 million Americans and billions worldwide.
When was the last time you agreed with 95% of what ANYBODY said, much less a candidate for president?
Dr. Paul's policies follow along an Austrian principal of the individual being the best judge of the use of their limited resources. Rather than being an "economic Luddite", he is a forward-thinking humanitarian. The Austrian school promotes liberty as the fuel for economic growth - if that is what the market (people) demand. Libertarian global markets are not an anathama to economic prosperity;they are the creators of true demand, the response to which is economic growth.
Full enactment of Dr. Paul's policies is impossible, even if he were to be elected. However, it would be a step in the right direction and malinvestment must be purged through the activities of a free market - which we do not have today. The restraints on a market collapse today are funnelling wealth from the middle class to the richest 1%. Do you enjoy your purchasing power being corrupted? This delay of the inevitable will result in a catastrophic collapse of not only the global financial system, but also any vestiges of economic liberty.
You don't know the first thing about economics. First of all, debt is neither a form of currency nor a means of investment...
True and one can listen to people they don't agree with fully to find information about this. For example I don't agree with everything Prof Steve Keen says but he does explain the overindebtedness of the system and that it is non-productive as opposed to productive capital.
“It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Lets correct that.
“It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of US citizenism.”
Which is true.
In non US citizen societies, warriors are a class on their own, which prevents war from being total.
Kids sent to war(war kids)? Sign of US citizenism as in non US citizenish societies, one has to be a grown up to reach the status of warrior etc...
The total effort embodied in total war is a result of US citizenism.
WWI had nothing to do with US citizenism, nor WW2...it was exogenous to US power play; which started in 1942 as world saver and then changed along route, around 1949 into something else. So don't put all humanity's eggs in one basket. Historical analysis bends to reality, not the contrary.
How WW1 had nothing to do with US citizenism when US citizenism was already spreading in Europe?
WW1 had all to do with US citizenism.
well you have just created a watershed! you have established a new historical thesis; the Sarajevo incident and the resulting spiral was inspired by US citizens. Bravo!
Ron Paul gets my vote if he can explain this -

Is that fact? It looks to me like it is a projectile of some goofy government child program to launch things. The nubbs on the ends look like a way for it so slide along rails or something similar.
Do not touch that thing. I know what it is, now vote for Paul.
Hellooo!! Is the mike on?
The upcoming presidential election will undoubtedly be the most important one in a lifetime. If anyone cares in the least bit about traditional American values, the rule of law, opportunities for our children and opportunity for ourselves, we MUST promote a candidate who represents these values. More importantly, we must be able to discern between a politician who is pandering (almost all) and a unique individual who stands against what the political system has become. The best option is obvious. Do you believe in anything or anyone? When was the last time you had such an opportunity? This may be our last hope for real change ~ and not the Obamination's version of "Hope & Change".
Every election has been the most important in our lives until the next one comes around. That doesn't bode well for the direction the country is in.
RP won't get on the ticket b/c he hasn't sold his soul to the system, I'll have to write him in again
I'll be writing him in Too.. maybe with enough write ins .. who knows?
Genghis Khan had a central bank?
The knock on Paul seems to be he is racist, a anal-retentive who denies the social contract.
His newsletters make it hard for him to deny some very facist, stupid views of the world.
He is not running for President but to collect contributions.
And yet Ron Paul is not rich because he is a river to his people.

So Ronulans: Are you racists, Jew haters, or both?
Is that all you got?
It's sufficient to keep 50.1% of the voting populace away and preserve the status quo. Give it up. Lyndon LaRouche == Ron Paul.
What is the practical limit of US financial support for Israel? Some lawmakers want to give them 2-3X as much as we do each year. Are the others jew haters?
If you think this country's love for jews and minorities is going to overwhelm its sense of self-preservation, you're a fool. You're saying 50.1% will go over the precipice if the alternative is to appear perhaps a bit racist and anti-semetic. I think you're wrong, and hope you're wrong. I wonder what the awake jews and minorities who suport Paul think. I bet they think you and your ilk are fools, toadies for the fiat/theft system.
Was Obama's advocacy of the ravings of Rev. Wright enough to keep him out of office in 2008? Will Obama's plan to enact a stimulus package in 2009 which would specifically exclude jobs for white men keep him from being re-elected?

It's sufficient to keep 50.1% of the voting populace away...
I can appreciate your ferver and am concerned of the third party play that seated Governor Clinton some years back. I'm a firm believer in the 2 party system for the reason that faced President Clinton from the moment he took the oath of office. He knew, as well as everyone else in the nation that more people voted against him than for him.
Not a very good way to start your first day at the office imo.
President Eisenhower, leader of all Allied forces in WWII, President for 8 years during the Cold War 1953-1961 warned of the dangers of the military-industrial complex:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWiIYW_fBfY&feature=related (~15 minutes)
Text of speech:
http://uspolitics.about.com/od/speeches/a/eisenhower.htm
Snippet:
"This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence – economic, political, even spiritual – is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
World's oldest central bank is central bank of Sweden, 1664. BOE established in 1694 and Bank of France 1800. It did not start in 1913 with FED like Americans seem to think.
FED was established because few wanted to experience 19th century style wild and out of control boom-bust cycles with robber barons anymore. Private banks back then created 2008 style crisis every DECADE, sometimes TWICE in a decade!
How many trillion dollar bank bailouts were foisted on 19th century tax payers?
Panic of 1819
Panic of 1825
Panic of 1837
Panic of 1847
Panic of 1857
Panic of 1866
Panic of 1873
Panic of 1884
Panic of 1890
Panic of 1893
1837: "Within two months the losses from bank failures in New York alone aggregated nearly $100 million. "Out of 850 banks in the United States, 343 closed entirely, 62 failed partially, and the system of State banks received a shock from which it never fully recovered."
Try doing business with that environment...money under pillow would be better than depositing to banks and taking your chances.
"Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!" -- Andrew Jackson, 1834
AJ didn't do bailouts. But you keep pitying those sad, little 19th century bankers who didn't get a TARP of their very own.

Joe Rogan of the UFC, Fear Factor, etc is supporting Ron Paul... could it be that common sense is breaking out?
Christmas, perfect time to spread the ideas in Ron Paul's quotes to my sheeple friends and family. I plan to spread them like a virus to create a pandemic of hatred for the FED and the status quo kleptocracy and infect them with the hope and belief that change is possible. Planning to vote for Ron Paul is not enough. I will vote against all corrupted incumbents who have voted against liberty and for the expansion of government.
Here's a piece I wrote for Lew Rockwell a few years back:
Yes, Virginia, There Is a Ron Paulhttp://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/mcphilimy1.1.1.html
You Ronulans are guilty of doing the same thing that the Obamaphiles did in 2007. There is an empty-suit vessel (in RP's case, it's an ill-fitting suit.) in which you have placed all your hopes and dreams and unfulfilled desires.
When you finally realize that he's just a bitter, old, dementia-addled, anti-Semitic racist with a fondness for conspiracy theories instead of the glorious White Knight that you imagine him to be, you will ultimately be disappointed.
He's not bitter. Does he sound bitter? He sounds like an optimist.
He's not old. He hit a home run (literally) in this summer's congressional baseball exhibition game. He is physically fit.
He's not dementia-addled. He listens and responds in a cogent way to every question. I've never seen him back away from a question.
He's not anti semitic. He's not a racist. Check the videos on Tom Woods' website.
He's not fond of conspiracy theories. He has said, "I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist."
He's also not a White Knight. All he has said is that we have rights - the central planners do not. That's it. With this guy it's not about him. It's about Liberty. That's it. What is it about Freedom that you are afraid of?
Are you afraid of a candidate that says, "We should redistribute the wealth" (you should be), or are you afraid of a guy who says "We should have freedom, sound money and rule of law."
Tried to vote you up again. I'd be #5 but give you +100
Ron Paul is an intelligent and honest man. No more, no less. It is you who imagines him to be something that he is not.
Ok I can't stand this anti-semetic shit no more
Even if Ron Paul hated Jews so what? HATING JEWS IS NOT RACiSM.
Judiasm is a religion.
What is religion anyway but a particluar belief system tied in with silly ritual behaviors?
If Ron Paul or anyone else hated Catholics would he be racist?
But let's cut through the bull shall we?
There is no such thing as race. It is a social construct. It is completely fictional operating no where but in the mind of men as a politcal weapon no more real than my +5 Sword of Thunder.
There is no black race . there is no white race, There are no races at all. there are only people.
Btw, "Jewish" can also refer to an ethnic/genetic heritage, namely those that trace their ancestry to the inhabitants of the province of Judah within the Roman Empire (and possible back to the ancient kingdoms of Judah and Israel).
Genetic heritage? You wish. According to the religion, Jews would encompass the decedants of Abraham. That would make it familial organization. Kind of like the Gambino crime family.
Even that doesn't make sense though because the Jewish religion claims Jewish blood via maternal lineage. If Abraham was the first Jew then no way Sarah could be a Jew because her mother would need to be a Jew . Which would mean there are no Jews at all.
Just another silly religion used as a vehicle for individual men and women to exert power over other men and women.
Crazy on ship of fools.
Jews would encompass the decedants of Abraham...Just another silly religion...
Actually, Abraham had several sons. the most notable being Ishmael, the oldest and Isaac, (laughing boy), his 2nd. He had a few more after his wife Sarah died when he took up with Katura, but they didn't get in on the "promise" thing and were just given gifts to get them through.
Jews track through Isaac and the US commander in chief tracks though the older one. They both hold Abraham attempted to kill their patriarch but was stopped at the last moment when the Almighty intervened and provided a ram in lieu of the sacrifice of the heir apparent.
The difference between the 2 sons had to do with the status of their mothers. The older son was the born to a servant of Abraham's Half Sister and Wife Sarah, who herself 14 years later at the age of 90 gave birth to the little laughing boy.
Both of these sons had 12 sons of their own but due to the ultimate lineage of Jesus of Nazareth being tracked through Isaac, most people in the US, (back when we were a christian nation), are more familiar with the Abraham, Isaac, Jacob/Israel branches. For whatever it's worth, the ability of any Israelite of today to directly link descendency to Jacob is strictly by faith due to the annihilation of the Jerusalem temple records in 70 AD.
Even if and when science is able to discover the genetic code for this divergent relationship, we will all still be one big happy family.
Merry Christmas.
Fuck you.
Saying that there are no races in an absolute insult, because it implies that people do not have eyes and ears and the ability to discern patterns in the world.
I am so sick and tired of these postmodern nihilists that keep crawling out of their holes, deconstructing everything and saying "there is no this, there is no that" until we are left with anarchy and the inability to even use language to any meaning whatsoever.
It's the same thing that banks and governments do. They either decriminalize fraud, or when they do engage in fraud they destroy the evidence and then print more money to cover it up. Eventually, even the concept of money, not to mention private property and ownership, mean nothing.
There is no accountability anywhere, there is no reason anywhere. Only madness.
Fuck me? Is that your intelligent response to facts?
There is ZERO biological basis of race . Read it again ZERO.
It is a social construct.
No amount of hissy fits will change that.
Slavery itself was never based on race . There where 100K "white" slaves at the beginning of the Civil War.
The idea of race is a flat out fraud. It's the poster child of a viral meme.
The idea doesn't replicate because it's true , it replicates because it's easy to spread.
