Ron Paul "Faces The Nation" On September 11 And Other Key Topics
Rep. Ron Paul, who is statistically tied in first in the Iowa polls among the 2012 GOP presidential candidates, spoke with Bob Schieffer on how America's flawed policies contributed to 9/11, his stance on dealing with Iran, and the dismantling of key government institutions. Must watch, as unlike the other GOP candidates, Paul never peppers the audience (pardon the pun) with banal sound bites, moronic meanderings and pandering platitudes.

In the early 1950's, the UK and US helped topple a democratic Iran.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat
Let us not forget that in the early 1980's, the Iraqis were the "good guys" fighting Iran, we even supplied weapons, money, and other resources to Iraq.

Also in the early 1980's, the Mujaheddin "freedom fighters" were given the same to fight the "evil empire" of the Soviet Union.

And then, there was Vietnam
http://www.historyinperspective.org/node/30
DEAR MR. PRESIDENT:
Our VIETNAM people, as early as 1941, stood by the Allies' side and fought against the Japanese and their associates, the French colonialists.
From 1941 to 1945 we fought bitterly, sustained by the patriotism, of our fellow-countrymen and by the promises made by the Allies at YALTA, SAN FRANCISCO and POTSDAM.
When the Japanese were defeated in August 1945, the whole Vietnam territory was united under a Provisional Republican Government, which immediately set out to work. In five months, peace and order were restored, a democratic republic was established on legal bases, and adequate help was given to the Allies in the carrying out of their disarmament mission.
But the French Colonialists, who betrayed in wartime both the Allies and the Vietnamese, have come back, and are waging on us a murderous and pitiless war in order reestablish their domination. Their invasion has extended to South Vietnam and is menacing us in North Vietnam. It would take volumes to give even an abbreviated report of the crisis and assassinations they are committing everyday in this fighting area.
This aggression is contrary to all principles of international law and the pledge made by the Allies during World War II. It is a challenge to the noble attitude shown before, during, and after the war by the United States Government and People. It violently contrasts with the firm stand you have taken in your twelve point declaration, and with the idealistic loftiness and generosity expressed by your delegates to the United Nations Assembly, MM. BYRNES, STETTINIUS, AND J.F. DULLES.
The French aggression on a peace-loving people is a direct menace to world security. It implies the complicity, or at least the connivance of the Great Democracies. The United Nations ought to keep their words. They ought to interfere to stop this unjust war, and to show that they mean to carry out in peacetime the principles for which they fought in wartime.
Our Vietnamese people, after so many years of spoliation and devastation, is just beginning its building-up work. It needs security and freedom, first to achieve internal prosperity and welfare, and later to bring its small contribution to world-reconstruction.
These security and freedom can only be guaranteed by our independence from any colonial power, and our free cooperation with all other powers. It is with this firm conviction that we request of the United Sates as guardians and champions of World Justice to take a decisive step in support of our independence.
What we ask has been graciously granted to the Philippines. Like the Philippines our goal is full independence and full cooperation with the UNITED STATES. We will do our best to make this independence and cooperation profitable to the whole world.
I am Dear Mr. PRESIDENT,
Respectfully Yours,
(Signed) Ho Chi Minh
OBVIOUSLY, it was NEVER POLICY that led to the US to be bitten in the butt. <sarc>
hard to believe that only Ron Paul, the candidate, is the voice of common sense and knowlege in this sorry pool of republican candidates...
Ronnie = Just another 9/11Moron ... aiding and abetting the ameriKlan Money/Mafia of offical terrorists.
He is joined with the conspirators in the assassination of the republic.
Et tu Paulus ?

I'm so glad to see that the "truthers" now admit that Ron Paul is not one of them. In 2008 they glommed onto Ron and as he said it "didn't do (him) any good."
Veritas odit moras.
Ab uno disce omnes.
Vae victis... qui novit veritatem !
Let's ask Romney why he thinks it's ok for State employee's to buy their State issued harddrives, and do what ever they wan't with them by erasing the State owned data.
Now Romney has Turmoil ! Story breaking and blowing up as we speak !
On Saturday, Mitt Romney again defended his aides' decision to purchase their government-issued hard drives and erase official emails as Romney finished out his run as governor of Massachusetts in 2006.
What ?

He is being taken more seriously folks....
“Ron Paul is for real in Iowa. Seriously.” (Washington Post)
“Niche Voters Giving Paul Momentum in Iowa Polls” (New York Times)
“Ron Paul’s 19 percent in Iowa may indicate a path to the nomination” (Daily Caller)
“GOP outsider Ron Paul gaining traction in Iowa” (Associated Press)
“Ron Paul And Libertarians Can't Be Discounted” (Forbes)
A Bloomberg News poll this past week shows a four-way scrum for the lead in Iowa, with Paul in second place. (Cain gets 20 percent, Paul 19 percent, Mitt Romney 18 percent, and Newt Gingrich 17 percent among likely caucus goers.)
If you like Ron's politics then pony up the funds for his campaign. I did.
I've given 3 times now. I think in political terms that means I own him.
I'm $500 away from the $2500 federal campaign limit, and will reach that before the end of the year. The savings in taxes alone if he gets elected will justify it, but there's no putting a price on freedom or justice he could help bring back to us.
If you meet your campaign limit and feel inclined to help out more. There is no individual limits on donations to his superPAC which is called "RevolutionPac" (chaired by Dr. Tom Woods.)
http://www.revolutionpac.com/
They are currently running a focused initiative on Iowa and New Hampshire that looks pretty promising.

I just bought a bunch of shit off of Ron Pauls campaign website and sent it to my parents who think he's unelectable.
That is going to be so funny and I'm glad I'm going to see them for Thanksgiving so I can see their faces.
Sunshine down , JPM hater, Seek and of course Bob (and all the rest of you). All American patriots. Sending financial support to RP.
Hey Rp aint perfect but in todays world he is the best we got. He is consistent and has predicted almost everything that has come to pass way in advance. And he is honest and a nice guy.
If you live in a caucus state please plan on attending your caucus. If in a primary state... vote. And send a few bucks. With all the good investment advice we get here on Zh $5.00 aint going to hurt you.
www.ronpaul2012.com
And Fuck off you shithead Bob Sheiffer and CBS!!!
Thanks for the props....
One correction...RP is perfect.
Another article for Ron Paul:
‘This Week’ panel: Watch out for Ron Paul in Iowa"“The other thing I think Christiane to watch is Ron Paul. Ron Paul is right now, he’s second in Iowa,” Dowd said. “He’s second in New Hampshire. And of the people in top tier, he has the most passion behind his candidacy. I would not be surprised at all seven weeks from now that Ron Paul wins the Iowa caucuses and goes into New Hampshire, disrupts this field even more.”"
http://dailycaller.com/2011/11/20/this-week-panel-watch-out-for-ron-paul...
I knew Bob Scheiffer was an idiot, but I never realized just how big of one he was until now.
That was proven by how completely stupid he looked in trying to marginalize Paul, framing questions to characterize him as some lunatic fringe candidate, without any attempt to give him a fair hearing.
The sad part for Schieffer and his masters is that more and more people are waking up to the reality of a corrupted system where Wall St owns Washington, while the "mainstream" media attempts to control the masses and maintain the status quo, and Schieffer's lame attempt at ambushing Paul came across as exactly that.
Anyone with half a brain, whose distrust of Wall St., Washington and the media has grown over the past several years witnessing unending corruption, greed and lawlessness and who saw this interview will surely look at Paul more seriously, while dismissing Schieffer as a status quo hitman.
"The sad part for Schieffer and his masters is that more and more people are waking up to the reality of a corrupted system where Wall St owns Washington, while the "mainstream" media attempts to control the masses and maintain the status quo, and Schieffer's lame attempt at ambushing Paul came across as exactly that."
EXACTLY!
The people are waking up to the babylonian BS that lame stream media spews out like a discharge of the stinking dead fish slime scum bucket guts and slop that it is. The next step is to, OCCUPY the main stream media NOW!!!
And yes, did you all notice the grrrrrr in Ron Paul's answers. He ate his Wheaties this morning and did not take that shit from the babble fish schaffre bob. He is aggressively rising up against this tyranny and showing the people how to do it. If we actually get to an election(doubtful) without the sotero/obami lackey cia-mO-sad crew pulling off another 9/11 False Flag Type Event done for those who profit from war and heroin, and we actually elect Ron Paul, there could actually be a chance of saving america and the free world. Any other fool will bring on the planned destruction of this once was a good country of good people. It is good that EVERYONE knows this.
I am not afraid of a man that looks you in the eyes as he speaks his truth like Ron Paul does. What I am afraid of is, these other puppets that will not look you in the eyes as they spew out the contrived bullshit they are programed to say.
END ALL WARS NOW AND BRING THE TROOPS HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!
He won't win the mainstream vote unless he creates an alternative plan for the DOE, DOI, DOD, etc...He can't just say; we'll close down all these govt agencies. Something will need to take its place. Perhaps consolidation. Lets face it, if everyone in America was left to do as they please, with no regulation, it would be absolute anarchy. The idea of limited govt worked in 1776 because people held a higher moral standard than today. Americans of today seem to be only in it for themselves, so you'd eventually face a situation where the one with the most guns and muscle wins. Kind of like 1930 gansters style environment and not a healthy society. Also, closing down every US military base located in foreign countries would be a mistake. We need at least some presence beyond US borders or we'll be left vulnerable.
It is not the government's job to legislate morals. It is an impossibility as the abortion issue illustrates. Do you actually believe there is LESS corruption now? How about the U.S. providing arms to the Mexican drug cartels...while they simultaneously try to stop them? Why is there MORE heroin production in Afghanistan now that the U.S. and CIA are controlling it?
*edit - I wanted to add that the government also has not indicted ONE PERSON for the banks robbing hundreds of billions of dollars...
Ron Paul doesn't say to close every base the point is that maintaining all of them is unsustainable. Why are US taxpayers paying for the defense of Germany, Japan, etc. still?
Get your head out of the sand!
We are protecting Japan, Germany, etc. Protecting them from foreign and economic policies that are to the disadvantage of London. That's, by the way, who Paul was actually talking about when he talked about the "policymakers" behind 9/11.
American policy is not being run for the benefit of America and American ideals. That's what the Revolution and the Civil War were about. We can not be free until we again throw off, once again, the yolk of the Brutal, Briutish (but, Oh so sophisticated,) British Empire.
FDR's long term goal was to dismantle the British Empire and, over time, bring the world up to the American standard of living. The minute he died Truman reversed his policy. Just look at the events in South East Asia, India, Korea, etc immediately after the war. Ho Cho Minh of Vietnam was an America ally and had George Washington as his hero. We let the bastard of Empire Churchill come to America to announce that Russia was our enemy,and we must fight over Europe ("an iron curtain has descended..."). Averell Harriman (Skull and Bones; Brown Brothers Harriman; Pilgrim Society), Ambassador to Moscow, who on the day he heard of Roosevelt's death drafted a long telegram to immediately switch policy into an anti-Russian mode.
wtf are you, an idiot?
Stop posing FALSE DILEMMAS
I support Paul, but you make good points. You can either educate the kids or put them in jail. Make your choice.
Point of order -- WHEN was it decided that ONLY the Govt can educate our children? Check yer premises.
They're the only two possibilities eh. Dumb fuck. Take a look at some of the other posts in this stream.
I campaigned for Carter in '76 (age 12) and I still thinks he's a very decent fellow. Today I'm campaigning for Ron Paul.
Dr. Paul blasted the pompous, pretentious mr. Schisffer a new asshole.
in YOUR FACE F'ING SHEIFFER, no GO F YOURSELVES YOU F'ING ROTHCHILD'S LACKEYS
Right now, all cross America, millions of Americans are stumbling around overwhelmed by blind rage and confusion due to the fact that they just witnessed a politician tell the truth...and they do not know how to respond...just like Bob Schieffer did not know how to deal with a person offering up answers that are not "in the script".
Ron Paul is truly a great man. He is the only candidate that speaks the truth and understands the principles that USA was founded upon.
This sort of interview is just the beginning of putting Ron Paul on the defensive and making it uncomfortable for the "average person" to support him. They did exactly the same thing to Ross Perot when he became a viable candidate. Until you come up with an alternative main-stream media that is not controlled by organized crime th Ron Pauls of the world do not stand a chance.
This is why I do not watch the corporate media any more.
ps - even if Ron Paul did get nominated, and also won the election it would not change our destiny. Once an empire is corrupted at the top it's over.
If Ron gets elected, that mean that the top will change.
Fuck bob scheiffer what a dumb cunt
Soon as I heard dumb Bob say "you aren't saying someone in our government has said bomb Iran" I thought about how many times I have heard R-Repo senators and congressscum say just that, the interview was over.
As long as these MSM's are allowed to control the narrative, we won't have one.
Like this "oldie but goodie" maybe?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2v8cuQTVO8&feature=related
Anyone that has extra federal reserve notes and is interested in maybe giving this country a future . There is a pretty good initiative going on right now to help this man: http://supervoterbomb.com/
I'll vote for him. He won't win. Then again, America seems somehow undeserving of such an honorable man. Even/Steven.
Just please, if you don't want to feed the bullshit narrative stop saying or even believing "he won't win." If you believe in him, believe he can win, otherwise don't support him. The whole point of this post is that HE CAN WIN.
Whether you like him or not.....they said the same thing about Jesse Ventura in Minnesota....that he could'nt win.....Guess What............... He Did Win.....and I would vote for him Again.....
with ya on that. I was crying watching Jesse on the debates with the two fuckwads he beat (HHH´s kid for one) cause he was so good. What a fucking victory and how great it was to vote for him and see the win at midnight or so it was so close. Dont care that Jesse ended up being a bit wacko but the point is like you say he Rocked the world polling at 15% two weeks before the election and then winning by 2 points.
And Minnesota was none the worse afterwards. Lose five federal agencies and no one will fucking notice when RP rocks the country.
Paul would be an extremely weak President and would probably go down in history as another Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain in 1939 came back glowing from a meeting with Hitler and said there would be "peace in our time." He has become the father of appeasement.
He thought Nazi Germany was no threat. No threat? Now where have we heard similar words?
Not to mention the knucklehead said the USA was at fault for 9/11.
Holy fucking shit did you just get a lobotomy? Did you not just LISTEN to what he said? I mean you may not be able to read but is it that hard to watch the video where he clearly states that is not his belief.
Paul has said on SEVERAL occasions that Iran was no threat -- despite their numerous threats to annilate both the US and Israel, and despite the fact that they are rapidly developing nuke capability. Hitler made threats against the Jews long before he had the power to carry it out.
If he's now backtracking on his USA at fault for 9/11 that's fine, but now what he initially said.
Paul is...well, a kuncklehead, and shouldn't be anything other than a voice for capitalism. He's too dangerous to be anything else.
JFC you are a moron.
Iran has NEVER threatened to annihilate Israel, nor is Israel coextensive with JEWS. You fucking clowns give Israel a free pass to be as belligerent as possible and whenever ANYONE takes exception to them you claim they are inimical to the JEWS in the abstract.
The USA *IS* at fault for 911, we CREATED Al Qaida. We have waged war across the globe. The people we were at war with attacked us. That is what WARS LOOK LIKE.
As a people the US are a bunch of clueless MORONS who think somehow we can wage war and kill civilians but it's "out of bounds" for anyone to do it to us.
We have killed a couple orders of magnitude MORE people than 911 did since 911. And we are the fucking good guys??
Trav
Didn't know you were mentally handicapped. Tyler has kept you on for laughs and that's just wrong.
What did he say that was untrue?
Nothing... therefore the attack on him and not on what he said... naturally..
Troll Alert! Go over to Red State LivermoreJim
"Wiped Off The Map" - The Rumor of the Century
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=4527
So you're a Zionist Socialist. At least we know where you stand.
Why don't you ask yourself how many people Iran has killed in the past few decades and then compare that to the USA. How many countries has Iran attacked in the past 50 years and how many has the USA?
Hush, objectivity isn't allowed in analyzing our actions, it's part of God's plan for America to spread democracy, anything that happens en route is morally justifiable.
not sure if you're just a troll, but gotta jump in here.
While I'm-a-dinner-jacket may be a bit on the extreme side, one has to recall that it was the USA that installed a dictator (the Shah), who oppressed his people. They rose up against him and ended up with an islamic state. So, maybe if the US didn't get involved in Iran's internal affairs 50 years ago we wouldn't be dealing with them today. The US always wants to install 'democracy' yet it prefers a US friendly dictator. Please note, Hamas WAS ELECTED, but the US won't recognise them.
Secondly, apparenlty Ahmadenijad said that the map should be rewritten. The MSM interpreted it as him saying israel should be 'wiped off the map'. He was saying the maps were drawn up by western powers and needs to be 'wiped out'. This is similar to the argument the palestinians (and Obama) have about the pre-1967 borders in Gaza and the West Bank. Not saying I support him, but just showing how things get twisted.
Thirdly, Iraq 'clearly' had WMD. Where are they? Al Qaeda didn't exist in Iraq till the invasion. Who supplied Saddam with weapons?
Fourthly, for all the warmongering over Iran and its development of the bomb, might I remind you NORTH KOREA HAS THE BOMB. It's detonated it TWICE. It's shelled a civilian South Korean town and sunk a South Korean warship. Why are you not advocatin war with North Korea since they ALREADY HAVE THE BOMB? I'm also assuming you are active military and would sign up to be 'first across the border'.
Fifthly, sanctions against Iran, believe it or not, does not hurt Khomeni or Ahmadenijad. It hurts the average Iranian trying to make a living. If he can't get medicine, food, clothing, fuel to clothe, and feed his family, he will directly associate US imposed sanctions for his family's hardship. Good luck when you invade Iran, cos that guy will take up arms against you.
6th. Iran sees the US invade Iraq, a former ally. Iran sees the US bomb Pakistan and Yemen, also 'our allies'. Iran sees the US building hundreds of bases and putting multiple carrier battle groups in the Gulf. the US continually threatens war. Turn the tables around. If the US had no nuclear weapon,and China had ships off our coast, imposed sanctions and threatened us with war... what the fuck would we do. We'd develop the fucking hydrogen-bomb ASAP.
7th. Iran would not use its nuclear weapon. North Korea hasn't. Why? because the retaliation by Israel and the US would wipe Iran off the map (and not in the 'reset the borders' kind of way).
8th. Why don't we fund US defense? bring all the troops home and put more funds into our Aegis cruisers and ballistic missile defenses. Then see if Iran ever wants to lob a missile here. Instead we spread our military resources out very very thinly over 130 countries. How the fuck does having troops in Australia protect the US BORDERS?
Iran can say that all they want, but they have no means of carrying out any attack on the U.S. The worst they could harm us is by causing regional strife and attacking oil tankers. Which, by the way, is exactly what they WILL do if we attack them.
You're a fucking tool, another blood thirsty neo-con whore.
Ah, you are one of those "they hate us because we're free" folks are you? Enjoy perpetual war do you?
Understanding the motivations of our enemies is not appeasement.
Using logical fallacies as the basis to our foreign policy is failure.
Understand that actions have consequences, this is the underlying lesson of the universe. America is not, contrary to what the warmongering exceptionalists will tell you, above cosmic law.
If you actually studied history instead you would understand that Nazi Germany and WW2 were in fact unintended consequences of stupid, shortsighted foreign policy. But that might require actual thought versus pavlovian responses.
Make sure you don't miss Dancing with the Stars.
Right, never mind that Hitler came to power because the Bankers, especially France and the UK, wanted reperations for WWI so they bankrupted Germany and drove their whole population into utter destitution. It was a financial war first and the laypeople are the ones that paid in blood.
France and UK? WHO in France and the UK?
WHO ended up owning that entire country after the financial collapse? It wasn't germans.
Read history; understand. Actions have consequences, something that is lost on the tribe. They have a 4000 year history of consequences but the narrative is that they are just the ultimate downtrodden victim. Their own fucking religious texts instead say that they are the chosen people of God, yet the outward face is to engender SYMPATHY and sell a line that they are just innocent victims of continuous oppression? Germans starved so that they could have their pound of flesh in usury.
Has nobody read the goddamned old testament? Genocide, war, murder, pillaging...in the name of God. They only came into possession of this holy land by invasion, genocide, and war.
Hitler came to power because he promised to return Germany to the German people.
You certainly have a talent for taking shit to the next level.
"Truth is a three-edged sword." You only see one edge, Others see another -- then's there's the real Truth! You should stop assuming you KNOW what the Truth is!
"Has nobody read the goddamned old testament? Genocide, war, murder, pillaging...in the name of God"
Yeah, I've always thought of Deuteronomy as "The Book of Killing". One massacre after the other. That Moses was a bloodthirsty bastard.
Compare that to the single massacre of jews in the Koran. Which they arguably well and truly brought on themselves. Funny, that's the one we keep hearing about though, whenever the subject of religion and killing comes up. As it does.
Come to think of it, I don't believe that (Prophet-led) massacre made it into the Koran. It's otherwise documented. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Are you really that stupid, or is the government / military paying you to be a troll?
Bob, you ignorant slut...
You forgot misguided.
Bob, you ignorant, misguided slut.
Now, that is the correct citation
I stand corrected.
Whoops ... the video does not play. Whose messin wit dat?
I have never seen Bob Scheifer do what he did today with Ron Paul.
I was astounded at how poorly Bob treated Dr. Paul. Shame on you Bob!
Just found where the video works.
Bob Scheifer qualifies as a Douchebag.
Speak the truth and get sodomized by the Main Stream Media.
Oh great federal government, please protect me from myself.
Scheifer is a rabid dog set loose on the enemies of the elite. He's just another main stream media tool. He has lost all credibility as a journalist after this incident and can never regain it.
Cudos to Ron Paul for boldly brandishing the truth in the face of that cowardly attack by Shieffer. Way to go, Dr. Paul! Makes me want to contribute to his campaign again.
One of the big dam reasons a lot of the folk don't get is why the military supports him so throughly.
Its because the military signs up to defend and support the constitution and he is the only fucking candidate over the years who leads by example.
Something Military/veterans firmly believe in.
And the god-am pundits wonder how did he earn so much on his Veterans day contributions.
You all do realize that R.P. is the only candidate the military would support if their ever was a civil war or a Coup ( just saying, off in fantasy land here) Or even major civil unrest( Insert dramatic chaotic event here_____)
ooooh, really??
I remain unconvinced. care to elaborate?
LivermoreJim and other "all options on the table" / "turn Iran into a parking lot" / "hate us cuz we're free" types pay attention
The "martyr state" myth is based upon two flawed assumptions. First, that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been uniquely willing to endure the deaths of its own citizens in order to achieve its policy goals. Second, that the Iranian Shiite regime's End Times theology actually induces it to trigger a conflagration.

North Carolina Republican Straw Poll
Saturday, November 19th, 2011 (12:01 AM - 9:00 PM)
http://thecarolinapatriot.com/
Ron Paul First Place 52%
Next contender 22.1% (does it really matter who it is?)
Perry still received a number of votes above zero ? Seriously ?
Otherwise the choice is President Epic Fail the fractional banking prostitute or another of the GOP corporate prosititutes, This is the last chance.
Sounds like the 1% are getting their butts handed to them in St. Louis, Missouri.
stltoday.com/news/local/metro/st-louis-county-assessor-finds-planes-that-weren-t-on/article_0fe84457-dac8-551b-a770-95010027dac0.html?mode=story
MSM avoids issues Ron Paul and OWS like the plague.
"Freedom of the press is free only for those who own the press."
Confucious
Confucious also say, tight pants like cheap hotel ...... no ballroom.
Newt on Iran
"You have a short time to solve this on your own, and if you don’t, we will solve it for you, and we frankly couldn’t care less what the rest of the world thinks.”
But Bob said nobody was talking about bombing Iran!!!!!!!
As a New Zealander (and therefore as a proxy for a 'foreigner', might I express my concern (although not my surprise) at the exasperation and latent hostility displayed by the interviewer. My concern stems from it underscoring not only that it is a representative view for many Americans, but also that the media are so strongly partisan (regardless of which way it is). Man, shouldn't the interviewer be (at least on screen and from a professional angle) sitting on the fence and asking objective questions ?
Paul's ideas are certainly radical and that, in itself, seems to be ample reason for the interviewer, and mainstream America, to automatically decide, that the ideas have no merit whatsoever. I suppose the world is still flat too ?
Do you live in NZ now? Man that place is amazing! I drove from Auckland to Queenstown (obviously took a ferry in between - btw, don't rent a car in Auckland, take it over the ferry, and drop it off at Queenstown - had to pay an $1100 fine), stoppped at all sorts of places in between.
The big event in the news when I was there was about the proposal to add folic acid to bread. Must be nice to not have a military-industrial complex and all of that sort of bullshit. And the natural beauty, god damn, no wonder all of the people are so nice.
The television/print (main stream, corporate) media is owned and controlled by the same small set of people (council on foreign relations and their subsidiary the American Press Association). They've stopped pretending otherwise of late, especially when it comes to Ron Paul. They really ARE that biased.
The only free press in America is found on the internet, but not for much longer. The internet is the greatest threat to the absolute power of the oligarchy and will be destroyed one way or another. Right now they are content to merely use it to pin point dissidents via surveillance, data mining, and profiling. But their patience only goes so far. Technical solutions are in the works to rebuild the internet into something less open, less free, and more conducive to the powers that be controlling the current events and historical narrative.
I'd like to see our next Commander in Chief Ron Paul take on the Ebola Monkey Men in Nigeria.
www.ebolamonkeyman.com
I've been rooting for Paul for the past 4 years. If the country was fortunate enough to have him elected, i'm affraid the possible outcomes may be:
Yes, capital always flees nations with massively declining tax rates. Perhaps they shall move it all to Germany?
Did Bob get his Metamucil before the interview?
@ozziindaus
what are you talking about with point nb 2 ??? The exact opposite would happen...
Who do you think holds and contols most of the US's wealth? Do you think the likes of JPM, GS and their crony counterparts will stand by through reform and regulation? The major banks have a large stake in the FED. If the FED is dismantled, they'll set up somewhere else........in a "new world" just as history has shown.
As the balance of power was transfered from England to the US, the baton must again be handed over to the next neo anglo colony.....somewhere south of China perhaps.....
Bob Scheethead is sooo old he made Ron Paul look like a young whippersnapper.
Dr. Paul kicked that ole Leftist ass via long distance tv.
yes.........but is Ron Paul "good for jews"?
He wants to remove most subsidies, including farm subsidies, so probably not good for juice.
He is good for American taxpaying juice. The foreign largesse seeking juice whine. They like American largesse.
I have the new hit youtube video on Obi Ron Kenobi, our last hope. Steal this video. The intertubes love Ron Paul, the MFSM...not so much. http://thecivillibertarian.blogspot.com/2011/11/obi-ron-kenobi-our-last-...
Pump the brakes, altruists. RP has no chance of winning the Republican primary for the simple fact that he can't debate. Every response he gives somehow involves the gold standard, foreign policy, and ending the Fed, rarely without a breath in between. Not that these aren't important things, but people can't relate to that. Burn me all you want, but Gengrich & Romney will beat out RP.
Then Obama is assured re-election. This election is about one thing and one thing only - getting anybody but Ron Paul into the white house.
Most of Ron Paul's supporters will vote for nobody but Ron Paul even if they have to write his name in on the ballot in their own blood.
Who is this douchebag from Face the Nation? What a slanted interview, if you can even call it that. I'm surprised Ron Paul agreed to go on the air with this jack ass that did nothing during the interview but try to solicit the responses he wanted, namely:
"Yes, America brought 9/11 on itself. Fuck America."
"Yes, we should kowtow to Iran and let them get nukes and nuke Israel and New York."
This is what passes for the main stream media these days? Jesus CHRIST I didn't know it had gotten so bad. Who bothers watching this garbage? I wish you people wouldn't upload this shit to youtube because the internet is better off without the diseased lies of the main stream media.
Ron Paul 2012. Fuck the haters and the doubters.
