The Ultimate Solution Is Not In The Hands Of The Government. The Solution Falls On Each And Every Individual, With Guidance From Family, Friends And Community. The #1 Responsibility For Each Of Us Is To Change Ourselves With Hope That Others Will Follow. This Is Of Greater Importance Than Working On Changing The Government; That Is Secondary To Promoting A Virtuous Society. If We Can Achieve This, Then The Government Will Change.

More From Ron Paul

In A Free Society, We Are Supposed To Know The Truth. In A Society Where Truth Becomes Treason, We Are In Big Trouble.

The Federal Reserve System Is Nothing More Than Legalized Counterfeit.

Federal Reserve

In The American Political Lexicon, 'change' Always Means More Of The Same: More Government, More Looting Of Americans, More Inflation, More Police-state Measures, More Unnecessary War, And More Centralization Of Power.

We Don't Need Any Troops Abroad-they Don't Help Our Defense.

When We Finally Decide That Drug Prohibition Has Been No More Successful Than Alcohol Prohibition, The Drug Dealers Will Disappear.

Right Now, Nobody Legalized Paper Money. Where Did That Come From.

I Think The Policy Makers Like The Idea Of Being The Boss. I Mean People Who Like To Boss Other People Around Like To Go Into Politics So They Can Become The Boss.

First Reason Is, It's Not Authorized In The Constitution, It's An Illegal Institution. The Second Reason, It's An Immoral Institution, Because We Have Delivered To A Secretive Body The Privilege Of Creating Money Out Of Thin Air; If You Or I Did It, We'd Be Called Counterfeiters, So Why Have We Legalized Counterfeiting? But The Economic Reasons Are Overwhelming: The Federal Reserve Is The Creature That Destroys Value.

Unlike Newt Gingrich And Rick Santorum, I Never Voted To Provide Taxpayer Funding To Planned Parenthood.

The Federal War On Drugs Is A Total Failure... The Federal Government's Going In There And Overriding State Laws... Why Don't We Handle The Drugs Like We Handle Alcohol? ... I Fear The Drug War Because It Undermines Our Civil Liberties. It Magnifies Our Problems On The Borders. We've Spent Over The Last 40 Years A Trillion Dollars On This War And - Believe Me - The Kids Can Still Get The Drugs. It Just Hasn't Worked.

Get Rid Of Irs; Get Rid Of Income Tax; Get Rid Of Spending.

Think Of What Happened After 9/11, The Minute Before There Was Any Assessment, There Was Glee In The Administration Because Now We Can Invade Iraq, And So The War Drums Beat.

With The Exception Of The Military Industrial Complex, We All Want A More Peaceful World.

White Castle Has A Unique Position In The Midwest. It Is A Cult Brand That Has Developed A Strong, Loyal Following.

I Miss The Closet. Homosexuals, Not To Speak Of The Rest Of Society, Were Far Better Off When Social Pressure Forced Them To Hide Their Activities.

Social Pressure

Throughout The 20th Century, The Republican Party Benefited From A Non-interventionist Foreign Policy. Think Of How Eisenhower Came In To Stop The Korean War. Think Of How Nixon Was Elected To Stop The Mess In Vietnam.

There Is No Such Thing As A Hate Crime.

Everyone On The Commission Assumes That 9/11 Resulted From A Lack Of Government Action. No One In Washington Has Raised The Question Of Whether Our Shortcomings, Brought To Light By 9/11, Could Have Been A Result Of Too Much Government.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come Cannot Be Stopped By Any Army Or Any Force.

You Don't Have Freedom Because You Are A Hyphenated American; You Have Freedom Because You Are An Individual, And That Should Be Protected.

It Would Help The Poor People Who Need Jobs. Minimum Wage Is A Mandate. We're Against Mandates So Why Should We Have It? It Would Be Very Beneficial.

The Cost In Terms Of Liberties Lost And The Unnecessary Exposure To Terrorism Are Difficult To Determine, But In Time It Will Become Apparent To All Of Us That Foreign Interventionism Is Of No Benefit To American Citizens, But Is Instead A Threat To Our Liberties.

True Prosperity Can Only Come From A Healthy Economy And Sound Money. That Can Only Be Achieved In A Free Society.

All Initiation Of Force Is A Violation Of Someone Else's Rights, Whether Initiated By An Individual Or The State, For The Benefit Of An Individual Or Group Of Individuals, Even If It's Supposed To Be For The Benefit Of Another Individual Or Group Of Individuals.

The Cap And Trade Bill Hr 2454 Was Voted On Last Friday. Proponents Claim This Bill Will Help The Environment, But What It Really Does Is Put Another Nail In The Economy’s Coffin.

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.

Reject The Phony Patients' Bill Of Rights....we Don't Have To Continue Down The Path Of Socialized Medical Care, Especially In America Where Free Markets Have Provided So Much For So Many.

If We Are Not Even Free Anymore To Decide Something As Basic As What We Wish To Eat Or Drink, How Much Freedom Do We Really Have Left?

No Matter How Many Pro-freedom Politicians We Elect To Office, The Only Way To Guarantee Constitutional Government Is Through An Educated And Activist Public Devoted To The Ideals Of Liberty.

I Had The Privilege Of Practicing Medicine In The Early '60s, Before We Had Any Government. It Worked Rather Well, And There Was Nobody On The Street Suffering With No Medical Care.

America Was Founded By Men Who Understood That The Threat Of Domestic Tyranny Is As Great As Any Threat From Abroad. If We Want To Be Worthy Of Their Legacy, We Must Resist The Rush Toward Ever-increasing State Control Of Our Society. Otherwise, Our Own Government Will Become A Greater Threat To Our Freedoms Than Any Foreign Terrorist.

Intervention In Syria Is Not An Option. President Obama Has Already Helped Foment This Civil War And Supported The Al-qaeda Jihadists. This Is An Explosive Region, And More Us Intervention Means More People Will Die. We Should Be Choosing Peace - Not A New Conflict. More So Than Anyone Else, My Supporters Know That America Cannot Afford Another Unlawful, Immoral War In The Middle East. Stand With Me And Tell President Obama To Stay Out Of Syria.

Jury Verdicts, Basketball Games, And Even Music Are Enough To Set Off Black Rage, It Seems.

By The Way, When I Say Cut Taxes, I Don't Mean Fiddle With The Code. I Mean Abolish The Income Tax And The Irs, And Replace Them With Nothing.

If You Care About Your Personal Liberty, You'll Be Cautious When You Feel Comfortable, Blame All The Illegal Immigrants For Everything. What You Need To Do Is Attack Their Benefits: No Free Education, No Free Subsidies, No Citizenship, No Birth-right Citizenship.

To Me, To Be A Conservative Means To Conserve The Good Parts Of America And To Conserve Our Constitution.

We Have A Lot Of Goodness In This Country. And We Should Promote It, But Never Through The Barrel Of A Gun. We Should Do It By Setting Good Standards, Motivating People And Have Them Want To Emulate Us. But You Can't Enforce Our Goodness, Like The Neocons Preach, With An Armed Force. It Doesn't Work.

It's Not Like I'm Just Trying To Win And Get Elected. I'm Trying To Change The Course Of History.

Trying To Change

If Global Warming Is Because Of Weather Changes - Which A Lot Of People Believe - There's Not Much We Can Do To Change The Weather Pattern.

Today’s Events Are Reminiscent Of The Old Testament Story Of How The Israelites Demanded A King Over God’s Objection. They Believed That A King Would Give Them Peace And Security. The Results Proved Otherwise.

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.

The Last Line Of Defense In Support Of Freedom And The Constitution Consists Of The People Themselves. If The People Want To Be Free, If They Want To Lift Themselves Out From Underneath A State Apparatus That Threatens Their Liberties, Squanders Their Resources On Needless Wars, Destroys The Value Of The Dollar, And Spews Forth Endless Propaganda About How Indispensable It Is And How Lost We Would All Be Without It, There Is No Force That Can Stop Them.

...[the Federal] Government [has No Authority] To Deliver A Service,...and There's No Evidence To Show That Government Has Ever Been Efficient [at] Delivering...service.

There Was A Time When A Willingness To Criticize One's Own Government When It Was Wrong Was The Very Definition Of Patriotism.

It Is A Dangerous Notion That We Need A Government To Protect Us From Ourselves.

The Boston Bombing Provided The Opportunity For The Government To Turn What Should Have Been A Police Investigation Into A Military-style Occupation Of An American City. This Unprecedented Move Should Frighten Us As Much Or More Than The Attack Itself.

Everyone Who Believes In Freedom Must Work Diligently For Sound Money, Fully Redeemable. Nothing Else Is Compatible With The Humanitarian Goals Of Peace And Prosperity.

I Am Absolutely Convinced, You Never Have To Give Up Any Of Your Freedoms In Order To Be Secure.

I'm Not Against The Fbi Investigation In Doing A Proper Role, But I'm Against The Fbi Spying On People Like Martin Luther King. I'm Against The Cia Fighting Secret Wars And Overthrowing Government.

I Would Like To Restore Your Right To Drink Raw Milk Anytime You Like.

Unfortunately, The Greater The Humanitarian Outreach, The Greater The Violence Required To Achieve It.

We Need To Make Sure That People Can Save All The Money They Spend On Medical Care By Getting It Back From Their Taxes, By Reducing Their Tax Burden.

We Need To Get The Government Out Of The Way. Inflation Hits The Middle Class And The Poor The Most. Those Are The People Who Are Losing It. We Don't Have Enough Competition. There's A Doctor Monopoly Out There. We Need Alternative Health Care Freely Available To The People. They Ought To Be Able To Make Their Own Choices And Not Controlled By The Fda Preventing Them To Use Some Of The Medications.

You Know, The Greatest Hoax I Think That Has Been Around In Many, Many Years If Not Hundreds Of Years Has Been This Hoax On The Environment And Global Warming. You Notice They Don't Call It Global Warming Anymore. It's Weather Control.

Order Was Only Restored In L.a. When It Came Time For The Blacks To Pick Up Their Welfare Checks Three Days After Rioting Began. ... What If The Checks Had Never Arrived? No Doubt The Blacks Would Have Fully Privatized The Welfare State Through Continued Looting. But They Were Paid Off And The Violence Subsided.

When The Goal Of Political Action Is No Longer The Defense Of Liberty, No Word Other Than Demagoguery Can Describe The Despicable Nature Of Politics.

Why Does The U.s. Care Which Flag Will Be Hoisted On A Small Piece Of Land Thousands Of Miles Away?

Maybe We Ought To Consider A Golden Rule In Foreign Policy: Don't Do To Other Nations What We Don't Want Happening To Us. We Endlessly Bomb These Countries And Then We Wonder Why They Get Upset With Us?

When It Comes To The Environment And Global Warming From Emissions, It Has To Be Dealt With In One Of Two Ways - Preemptive Regulations, Which I Don't Agree With, Or With Private Property Principles. Nobody Has The Right To Pollute Their Neighbors' Air Or Water Or Land.

Americans Are Tired Of The Games And The Lies Of Today's Media. They Want The Truth. Imagine This. No Censors, No Barricades, No Statists. We Will Be Able To Engage Viewers Directly On Subjects That Matter Most To Them, From Finances To Civil Liberties To Foreign Policy.

I Wouldn't Vote Against Getting Rid Of The Jim Crow Laws.

We Get Our Rights From Our Creator As Individuals. So Every Individual Should Be Treated The Same Way.

American Voters Should Understand That Congress Will Always Find A Way To Spend Every Last Dollar Sent To Washington.

American Voters

I Want To Be President Mainly For What I Don't Want To Do: I Don't Want To Run Your Life, I Don't Want To Run The Economy, And I Don't Want To Police The World.

When People Become Frightened, They Look For Things Of Real Value. They Will Go To Monetary Metals, Gold And Silver, And They Will Buy Other Things, Such As Buying Property. But No Matter What We Have, Whether We Have Our Gold Coins Or We Have Our Property, If We Have An Authoritarian Government, That Is Our Greatest Threat. So, I Would Like To Think That There Is No Perfect Protection, Other Than Shrinking The Size And Scope And Power Of Government, So That We Can Be Left Alone And Take Care Of Ourselves.

There Is No Reason, In A Free Society, That Farmers Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Raise Hemp. Hemp Is A Good Product.

Why Is It That Some People, You Know, Think We Should Obey The Constitution Sometimes And Not Other Times.

Under The Constitution, There Was Never Meant To Be A Federal Police Force. Even An Fbi Limited Only To Investigations Was Not Accepted Until This Century. Yet Today, Fueled By The Federal Government's Misdirected War On Drugs, Radical Environmentalism, And The Aggressive Behavior Of The Nanny State, We Have Witnessed The Massive Buildup Of A Virtual Army Of Armed Regulators Prowling The States Where They Have No Legal Authority. The Sacrifice Of Individual Responsibility And The Concept Of Local Government By The Majority Of American Citizens Has Permitted The Army Of Bureaucrats To Thrive.

The Founders Warned That A Free Society Depends On A Virtuous And Moral People. The Current Crisis Reflects That Their Concerns Were Justified.

We're Bankrupting Our Country And We Have An Empire That We're Trying To Defend Which Costs Us $1 Trillion A Year. And The Standard Of Living Is Going Down Today. It's Going Down And The Middle Class Is Hurting Because Of The Monetary Policy. When You Destroy A Currency, The Middle Class Gets Wiped Out.

The Most Sinister Of All Taxes Is The Inflation Tax And It Is The Most Regressive. It Hits The Poor And The Middle Class. When You Destroy A Currency By Creating Money Out Of Thin Air To Pay The Bills, The Value Of The Dollar Goes Down, And People Get Hit With A Higher Cost Of Living. It's The Middle Class That's Being Wiped Out. It Is Most Evil Of All Taxes.

I Believe That When We Overdo Our Military Aggressiveness, What It Does It Actually Weakens Our National Defense. I Mean, We Stood Up To The Soviets. They Had 40,000 Nuclear Weapons. Now We're Fretting Day In And Day - Night About Third-world Countries That Have No Army, Navy Or Air Force.

We In The Congress Have A Moral And Constitutional Obligation To Protect The Value Of The Dollar And To Understand Why It Is So Important To The Economy That A Central Bank Not Be Given The Unbelievable Power Of Inflating A Currency At Will And Pretending That It Knows How To Fine-tune An Economy Through This Counterfeit System Of Money.

Israeli Government & The Neocons Want Us To Bomb Iran.

Contrary To The Claims Of The Supporters Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1964 And The Sponsors Of H.res. 676, The Civil Rights Act Of 1964 Did Not Improve Race Relations Or Enhance Freedom. Instead, The Forced Integration Dictated By The Civil Rights Act Of 1964 Increased Racial Tensions While Diminishing Individual Liberty.

During World War Ii, Joseph Stalin Was Once Asked By An American Writer, According To Professor Dean Russell, How He Could Justify Conscripting All The Property Of All The People For Use By The Government To Fight The War. Stalin Answered By Asking Why They Considered It More Immoral And Illogical To Conscript Lifeless Property Than To Conscript Life Itself, As Was Being Done In The United States And All Other Capitalistic Countries. His American Challenger Had No Answer, Because There Was No Answer.

There Is But One Special Interest That We Should Be Working For, And That Would Solve Just About All Of Our Problems, And That Is Our Liberty.

What We Need Is A Strong Defense, But Right Now There Is Zero Chance Of An Invasion By Another Country And Right Now We Have More Firepower Than All Other Countries Put Together.

My Understanding Is That Espionage Means Giving Secret Or Classified Information To The Enemy. Since Snowden Shared Information With The American People, His Indictment For Espionage Could Reveal (or Confirm) That The Us Government Views You And Me As The Enemy.

Terror Is A Tactic. We Can Not Wage "war" Against A Tactic.

Each Of Us Should Choose Which Course Of Action We Must Take; Education, Conventional Political Action, Or Even Peaceful Civil Disobedience To Bring About Necessary Changes, But Let It Not Be Said That We Did Nothing.

Necessary Change

Privacy Is Freedom. Leave Us Alone!

The Most Important Element Of A Free Society, Where Individual Rights Are Held In The Highest Esteem, Is The Rejection Of The Initiation Of Violence.

Young People Are Not Raw Material To Be Employed By The Political Class On Behalf Of Whatever Fashionable Political, Military, Or Social Cause Catches Its Fancy. In A Free Society, Their Lives Are Not The Playthings Of Government.

Having Federal Officials, Whether Judges, Bureaucrats, Or Congressmen, Impose A New Definition Of Marriage On The People Is An Act Of Social Engineering Profoundly Hostile To Liberty.

During The Last Campaign I Knew What Was Happening. You Know, They Mocked Me For My Foreign Policy And They Laughed At My Monetary Policy. No More. No More.

Prices Are Going Up. Unemployment Is Continue To Go Up. And We Have Not Had The Necessary Correction For The Financial Bubble Created By Our Federal Reserve System.

Federal Reserve

I Think It's A Theory... The Theory Of Evolution And I Don't Accept It As A Theory.

Theory Of Evolution

If People Won't Spend Any Money, The Government Has This Moral Obligation To Do It.

If You Like Small Government You Need To Work Hard At Having A Strong National Defense That Is Not So Militant. Personal Liberty Is The Purpose Of Government, To Protect Liberty - Not To Run Your Personal Life, Not To Run The Economy, And Not To Pretend That We Can Tell The World How They Ought To Live.

Article 1 Section 8 Of The Constitution Says Congress Has The Ability To Coin Money And Regulate The Currency And Doesn't Say Anything About Gold Or Silver.

Opinion Polls Consistently Show That Only About 5 Percent Of Blacks Have Sensible Political Opinions, I.e. Support The Free Market, Individual Liberty, And The End Of Welfare And Affirmative Action.

Political Opinions

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.

Stop Policing The World And We Can Get Rid Of Income Tax.

If Iran Invaded Israel, It's Up To Congress To Declare War.

As Recent As The Year 2000 We Won Elections By Saying We Shouldn't Be The Policemen Of The World, And That We Should Not Be Nation Building. And Its Time We Got Those Values Back Into This Country.

Only About 5 Percent Of Blacks Have Sensible Political Opinions.

No Matter What Politicians Promise, Social Security Reform Will Not Change The Fact That Your Money Is Taken From Your Paycheck And Sent To Washington, Where It Will Be Spent.

I'd Like To Think Of Myself As The Flavor Of The Decade.

Because Federal Hate Crime Laws Criminalize Thoughts, They Are Incompatible With A Free Society.

Demanding Domestic Security In Times Of War Invites Carelessness In Preserving Civil Liberties And The Right Of Privacy. Frequently The People Are Only Too Anxious For Their Freedoms To Be Sacrificed On The Altar Of Authoritarianism Thought To Be Necessary To Remain Safe And Secure.

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.

The True Patriot Is Motivated By A Sense Of Responsibility And Out Of Self-interest For Himself, His Family, And The Future Of His Country To Resist Government Abuse Of Power. He Rejects The Notion That Patriotism Means Obedience To The State.

There Should Essentially Be No Limits To The Voluntary Definition Of Marriage.

One Thing Is Certain: Those Who Worked And Voted For Less Government, The Very Foot Soldiers In The Conservative Revolution, Have Been Deceived. Today, The Ideal Of Limited Government Has Been Abandoned By The Gop, And Real Conservatives Find Their Views No Longer Matter.

I Never Would Force The Justice Department To Go To California And Arrest People Getting Medical Marijuana, When That's The Law There.

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.

When Things Go Badly, Individuals Look For Scapegoats. I Just Do Not Believe That Barbed-wire Fences Or Guns On Our Border Will Solve Any Of Our Problems.

But Let It Not Be Said That We Did Nothing. Let Not Those Who Love The Power Of The Welfare/warfare State Label The Dissenters Of Authoritarianism As Unpatriotic Or Uncaring. Patriotism Is More Closely Linked To Dissent Than It Is To Conformity And A Blind Desire For Safety And Security. Understanding The Magnificent Rewards Of A Free Society Makes Us Unbashful In Its Promotion, Fully Realizing That Maximum Wealth Is Created And The Greatest Chance For Peace Comes From A Society Respectful Of Individual Liberty.

I Have This Terrible Habit Of Wanting To Try To Be Consistent And Develop A Philosophy That's Coherent.

All Rights Are Individual. We Do Not Get Our Rights Because We Belong To A Group. Whether It's Homosexuals, Women, Minorities, It Leads Us Astray. You Don't Get Your Rights Belonging To Your Group. A Group Can't Force Themselves On Anybody Else. So There Should Be No Affirmative Action For Any Group.

Of Course I've Already Taken A Very Modest Position On The Monetary System, I Do Take The Position That We Should Just End The Fed.

When One Gets In Bed With Government, One Must Expect The Diseases It Spreads.

The Only Thing We Should Prohibit Is Violence.

It’s Not Part Of Our Constitution To Assume That We Are The World’s Policemen.

What We Need To Do Is Not Only Live Within Our Means, But Start Paying Down The Deficit, And Offer An Opportunity At Least For The Next Generation To Get Out.

When We Give Government The Power To Make Medical Decisions For Us, We, In Essence, Accept That The State Owns Our Bodies.

I Have Some Help On Tweeting.

It’s Amazing That People Don’t Understand That The More The Market Is Involved And The Smaller The Government, The Lower The Price, The Better The Distribution, And The Higher The Quality.

Expect The Rapidly Expanding Homeschooling Movement To Play A Significant Role In The Revolutionary Reforms Needed To Build A Free Society With Constitutional Protections.

Sexually-transmitted Diseases Is Caused By Sexual Activity And Promiscuity It Spreads Diseases. That's Been Known, You Know, About 400 Or 500 Years, That Somehow These Diseases Are Spread. If Fault Comes With People Because Of Their Personal Behavior But It Isn't To Be Placed On A Burden On Other People, Innocent People, Why Should They Have To Pay For The Consequences?

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

America's Heart And Soul Is More Embedded In Our Love Of Liberty, Self-reliance, And Tolerance Than By Our Foreign Policy, Driven By Powerful Special Interests With Little Regard For The Constitution.

So The Time Line Of When We Consider A Fetus 'human' Is Arbitrary After Conception.

Congress Remains In Total Denial As Our Liberties Are Rapidly Fading Before Our Eyes. The Process Is Propelled By Unwarranted Fear And Ignorance As To The True Meaning Of Liberty. It Is Driven By Economic Myths, Fallacies And Irrational Good Intentions.

Banning Guns Because Of Their Misuse Is Like Banning The First Amendment Because One Might Libel Or Slander.

America Was Born Of Protest, Revolution, And Mistrust Of Government. Subservient Societies Neither Maintain Nor Deserve Freedom For Long.

Well, I Don't Think We Should Go To The Moon. I Think We Maybe Should Send Some Politicians Up There.

We Need A Smaller And Elite Military, As [donald]rumsfeld Said - And Also A Smaller And Elite Foreign Policy.

If Economy Were Good, There'd Be No Immigration Problem.

Our Country's Founders Cherished Liberty, Not Democracy.

If It's Not Accepted That Big Government, Fiat Money, Ignoring Liberty, Central Economic Planning, Welfarism, And Warfarism Caused Our Crisis, We Can Expect A Continuous And Dangerous March Toward Corporatism And Even Fascism With Even More Loss Of Our Liberties.

Do They Think If We Destroy Our Freedoms For The Terrorists They Will No Longer Have A Reason To Attack Us?

There's Not Much You Can Do About The Bias Of The Media Other Than Try To Counteract It By Putting The Truth Out Best You Can, And The Internet Has Been A Great Weapon For Holding The Media Accountable.

I Take My Marching Orders From The Constitution.

People Should Not Be Able To Vote To Take Away The Rights Of Others.

The Law Cannot Make A Wicked Person Virtuous…god’s Grace Alone Can Accomplish Such A Thing.

We Are Talking About An Awesome Power. It Is The Power To Weave Illusions That Appear Real As Long As They Last. That Is The Very Core Of The Fed's Power. Of Course Not Everyone Is Instinctively Against This Illusion-weaving Power, And Many Even Welcome It. Tragically, The Innocent Who Understand Little About The Complexity Of The Monetary System Suffer The Most, While Those Who Are In The Know Reap Great Profit Whether The Market Is Going Up Or Down.

The Only Thing We Learn From History, I Am Afraid, Is That We Do Not Learn From History.

I Do Not Have Much Confidence In The Political System And Never Did. My Goal Has Always Been To Change People's Minds Because As Long As People Demand More Government, They Will Get It.

The American People Are Sick And Tired Of Washington And The People Who Have Been In Charge Have Been Passing All These Bills And I've Been Voting No All Of The Time And Vote No On These Appropriation Bills.

I Think A Submarine Is A Very Worthwhile Weapon. I Believe We Can Defend Ourselves With Submarines And All Our Troops Back At Home. This Whole Idea That We Have To Be In 130 Countries And 900 Bases... Is An Old-fashioned Idea.

I Will Always Vote What I Have Promised, And Always Vote The Constitution, As Well As I Will Not Vote For One Single Penny That Isn't Paid For, Because Debt Is The Monster, Debt Is What's Going To Eat Us Up And That Is Why Our Economy Is On The Brink.

No Single Person, Including The President Of The United States, Should Ever Be Given The Power To Make A Medical Decision For Potentially Millions Of Americans. Freedom Over One's Physical Person Is The Most Basic Freedom Of All, And People In A Free Society Should Be Sovereign Over Their Own Bodies. When We Give Government The Power To Make Medical Decisions For Us, We In Essence Accept That The State Owns Our Bodies.

The Ultimate Goal Of The Anti-religious Elites Is To Transform America Into A Completely Secular Nation, A Nation That Is Legally And Culturally Biased Against Christianity.

The Freer The Market Is And The More Respect You Have For Private Property, The Better The Environment Is Protected.

I Have My Shortcomings. But The Message, It Has No Shortcomings. The Message Of Liberty Is What America Is All About.

It Would Be Virtually Impossible To Finance Wars Without Taxing The People, And The Welfare System Would Be Limited Because There Wouldn't Be Enough Money In The Bank To Sustain It As It Is, And That Would Help Prices Stay Under Control.

We Should Have A Strong President. Strong Enough To Resist The Temptation Of Taking Power That A President Shouldn't Have.

Why Is It Is Claimed That If People Won't Or Can't Take Care Of Their Own Needs, That People In Government Can Do It For Them?

Everybody Complains About Pork, But Members Of Congress Keep Spending Because Voters Do Not Throw Them Out Of Office For Doing So. The Rotten System In Congress Will Change Only When The American People Change Their Beliefs About The Proper Role Of Government In Our Society. Too Many Members Of Congress Believe They Can Solve All Economic Problems, Cure All Social Ills, And Bring About Worldwide Peace And Prosperity Simply By Creating New Federal Programs. We Must Reject Unlimited Government And Reassert The Constitutional Rule Of Law If We Hope To Halt The Spending Orgy.

If People Are Smokers, Don't They Have To Pay More? Sometimes, You Get Your Insurance Cheaper If You Are A Nonsmoker. So, Let The Markets Sort This Out And Insurance Sort It Out, But Not Having Dictates By The Government Saying Thou, You Must Do This And Your Behavior Doesn't Matter, You Know?

You Don't Have A Right To A House, You Don't Have A Right To A Job, You Don't Have A Right To Medical Care.

There's Nothing Wrong With Being A Conservative And Coming Up With A Conservative Believe In Foreign Policy Where We Have A Strong National Defense And We Don't Go To War So Carelessly.

1913 Wasn't A Very Good Year. 1913 Gave Us The Income Tax, The 16th Amendment And The Irs.

Speak Up, Speak Often And Don’t Worry About Those That At This Point Cannot Understand As They Can Never Un-hear What We Tell Them.

There Is Nothing Wrong With Describing Conservatism As Protecting The Constitution, Protecting All Things That Limit Government. Government Is The Enemy Of Liberty. Government Should Be Very Restrained.

Is It Any More Moral To Dilute The Value Of The Purchasing Power Of The Money You Hold In Your Wallet Than It Is For The Farmer To Dilute The Milk Supply With Water?

I Lean Toward A Flat Tax. But I Want To Make It Real Flat, Like Zero.

There's Been A Coup, Have You Heard? It's The Cia Coup. The Cia Runs Everything, They Run The Military. They're The Ones Who Are Over There Lobbing Missiles And Bombs On Countries. ... And Of Course The Cia Is Every Bit As Secretive As The Federal Reserve. ... And Yet Think Of The Harm They Have Done Since They Were Established [after] World War Ii. They Are A Government Unto Themselves. They're In Businesses, In Drug Businesses, They Take Out Dictators ... We Need To Take Out The Cia.

Suicide Terrorism Stops When We Stop Intervening Abroad.

Racism Is Simply An Ugly Form Of Collectivism, The Mindset That Views Humans Strictly As Members Of Groups Rather Than Individuals.

The Catch-all Phrase "the War On Terrorism", In All Honesty, Has No More Meaning Than If One Wants To Wage A War Against "criminal Gangsterism". Terrorism Is A Tactic. You Can't Have A War Against A Tactic. It's Deliberately Vague And Non-definable In Order To Justify And Permit Perpetual War Anywhere And Under Any Circumstance.

There's Capital Controls And There's People Control. So Every Time You Think Of A Fence Keeping All Those Bad People Out, Think About Those Fences Maybe Being Used Against Us, Keeping Us In.

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.

Unskilled And Inexperienced Workers Are The Ones Most Often Deprived Of Employment Opportunities By Increases In The Minimum Wage.

Astonishingly, American Taxpayers Now Will Be Forced To Finance A Multi-billion Dollar Jobs Program In Iraq. Suddenly The War Is About Jobs. We Export Our Manufacturing Jobs To Asia, And Now We Plan To Export Our Welfare Jobs To Iraq, All At The Expense Of The Poor And The Middle Class Here At Home.

Government Is The Enemy Of Conservatism And Freedom.

If You Give Up On Your Principles I Don’t Think That’s Being Pragmatic... Doing The Wrong Thing, Even Partially, Isn’t Being Practical...if You Have The Right Ideas And Are Forceful Enough...i Think You Can Get The Support You Need.

If You Have Ever Been Robbed By A Black Teen-aged Male, You Know How Unbelievably Fleet-footed They Can Be.

Whether [the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing] Was A Setup By The Israeli Mossad, As A Jewish Friend Of Mine Suspects, Or Was Truly A Retaliation By The Islamic Fundamentalists, Matters Little.

Foreign Aid Is Taking Money From The Poor People Of A Rich Country And Giving It To The Rich People Of A Poor Country.

Our Federal Government, Which Was Intended To Operate As A Very Limited Constitutional Republic, Has Instead Become A Virtually Socialist Leviathan That Redistributes Trillions Of Dollars. We Can Hardly Be Surprised When Countless Special Interests Fight For The Money. The Only True Solution To The Campaign Money Problem Is A Return To A Proper Constitutional Government That Does Not Control The Economy. Big Government And Big Campaign Money Go Hand-in-hand.

Secession Is A Deeply American Principle. This Country Was Born Through Secession.

I Don't Know How To Run Your Life. I Don't Know How To Run Your Life. I Don't Have The Authority To Run Your Life. And The Constitution Doesn't Permit Me To Run Your Life.

The Problem Is That Democracy Is Not Freedom. Democracy Is Simply Majoritarianism, Which Is Inherently Incompatible With Real Freedom. Our Founding Fathers Clearly Understood This.

I Want To Just Obey The Constitution.the Constitution Says Only Gold And Silver Can Be Legal Tender.

What Can You Do? More And More Americans Are Carrying A Gun In The Car. An Ex-cop I Know Advises That If You Have To Use A Gun On A Youth, You Should Leave The Scene Immediately, Disposing Of The Wiped Off Gun As Soon As Possible. Such A Gun Cannot, Of Course, Be Registered To You, But One Bought Privately (through The Classifieds, For Example.)

The Fourth Amendment Is Clear; We Should Be Secure In Our Persons, Houses, Papers, And Effects, And All Warrants Must Have Probable Cause. Today The Government Operates Largely In Secret, While Seeking To Know Everything About Our Private Lives - Without Probable Cause And Without A Warrant.

Quantitative Easing Is Just The Latest Chapter In The Federal Reserve’s Hundred-year History Of Failure. (...) The American People Have Suffered Long Enough Under A Monetary Policy Controlled By An Unaccountable, Secretive Central Bank. It Is Time To Finally Audit - And Then End - The Fed.

The Constant Refrain That Bringing Our Troops Home Would Demonstrate A Lack Of Support For Them Must Be One Of The Most Amazing Distortions Ever Foisted On The American Public.

I Believe Only A Free Society Can Ever Be Truly Secure. The Goal Should Be To Make Terrorists Feel Threatened, Not The American People.

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.

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.

Strictly Speaking, It Probably Is Not “necessary” For The Federal Government To Tax Anyone Directly; It Could Simply Print The Money It Needs. However, That Would Be Too Bold A Stroke, For It Would Then Be Obvious To All What Kind Of Counterfeiting Operation The Government Is Running. The Present System Combining Taxation And Inflation Is Akin To Watering The Milk; Too Much Water And The People Catch On.

You Don't Quit Because You Happen To Be Behind. You Want To See How You Do. And Who Knows? Maybe Somebody Will Stumble.

The Greatest Threat Facing America Today Is The Disastrous Fiscal Policies Of Our Own Government, Marked By Shameless Deficit Spending And Federal Reserve Currency Devaluation. It Is This One-two Punch - Congress Spending More Than It Can Tax Or Borrow, And The Fed Printing Money To Make Up The Difference - That Threatens To Impoverish Us By Further Destroying The Value Of Our Dollars.

You Have To Remember, Rights Don't Come In Groups We Shouldn't Have 'gay Rights'; Rights Come As Individuals, And We Wouldn't Have This Major Debate Going On. It Would Be Behavior That Would Count, Not What Person Belongs To What Group.

We Need To Surrender Our Attachments To Government In Every Aspect Of Life. We Need To Give Up Our Dependencies On The State, Materially And Spiritually. We Should Not Look To The State To Provide Us Financially Or Psychologically. Let Us Give Up Our Longing For Welfare, Our Love Of War, And Our Desire To See The Government Control And Shape Our Fellow Citizens.

Al-awlaki Was Born Here, He Is An American Citizen. He Was Never Tried Or Charged For Any Crimes. No One Knows If He Killed Anybody. We Know He Might Have Been Associated With The Underwear Bomber. But If The American People Accept This Blindly And Casually That We Now Have An Accepted Practice Of The President Assassinating People Who He Thinks Are Bad Guys, I Think It's Sad.

In The Free Society Envisioned By The Founders, Schools Are Held Accountable To Parents, Not Federal Bureaucrats.

May Future Generations Look Back On Our Work And Say That These Were Men And Women Who, In A Moment Of Great Crisis, Stood Up To Their Politicians, The Opinion-makers, And The Establishment, And Saved Their Country.

The Fed Has One Power That Is Unique To It Alone: It Enables The Creation Of Money Out Of Thin Air. Sometimes It Makes Vast New Amounts. Sometimes It Makes Lesser Amounts. The Money Takes A Variety Of Forms And Enters The System In Various Ways. And The Fed Does This Through Techniques Such As Open-market Operations, Changing Reserve Ratios, And Manipulating Interest Rates, Operations That All Result In Money Creation.

Governments Have Nothing. They Can't Create Anything, They Never Have. All They Can Do Is Steal From One Group And Give It To Another At The Destruction Of The Principles Of Freedom, And We Ought To Challenge That Concept.

Prohibiting Guns On Campus Made The Virginia Tech Students Less Safe, Not More.

Aggression And Forced Redistribution Of Wealth Has Nothing To Do With The Teachings Of The World's Great Religions.

Once You Get The Government Involved In Agriculture You'll Have Nothing But Problems And Expenses.

I'm Always Looking For An Opportunity To Bring Progressive Democrats Together With Some Conservative Libertarian Types, Because There Are Places Where We Can Agree.

Government Spending Is Always A “tax” Burden On The American People And Is Never Equally Or Fairly Distributed. The Poor And Low-middle Income Workers Always Suffer The Most From The Deceitful Tax Of Inflation And Borrowing.

What's Happening Is There's Transfer Of Wealth From The Poor And The Middle Class To The Wealthy. This Comes About Because Of The Monetary System That We Have. When You Inflate A Currency Or Destroy A Currency, The Middle Class Gets Wiped Out, So The People Who Get To Use The Money First, Which Is Created By The Federal Reserve System, Benefit, So The Money Gravitates To The Banks And To Wall Street. That's Why You Have More Billionaires Than Ever Before.

We Don't Think A Child Of 13 Should Be Held Responsible As A Man Of 23. That's True For Most People, But Black Males Age 13 Who Have Been Raised On The Streets And Who Have Joined Criminal Gangs Are As Big, Strong, Tough, Scary And Culpable As Any Adult And Should Be Treated As Such.
