More From Ron Paul

The Notion Of A Rigid Separation Between Church And State Has No Basis In Either The Text Of The Constitution Or The Writings Of Our Founding Fathers. On The Contrary, Our Founders’ Political Views Were Strongly Informed By Their Religious Beliefs.

American Voters Should Understand That Congress Will Always Find A Way To Spend Every Last Dollar Sent To Washington. Remember, Politicians Get Votes By Promising Everything To Everyone, Always At The Expense Of Some Other Invisible Taxpayers. ...the Federal Government Cannot Maintain A Budget Surplus Any More Than An Alcoholic Can Leave A Fresh Bottle Of Whiskey Untouched In The Cupboard.

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

If You Can’t Protect Life, Then How Can You Protect Liberty?

It Is Not Democracy To Send In Billions Of Dollars To Push Regime Change Overseas. It Isn't Democracy To Send In The Ngos To Re-write Laws And The Constitution In Places Like Ukraine. It Is None Of Our Business.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Setting A Good Example Is A Far Better Way To Spread Ideals Than Through Force Of Arms.

Once Created, Federal Programs Are Nearly Impossible To Eliminate.

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

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.

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

If You Ever Can Bring About Revolutionary Changes, Two Things Would Be Required: Young People Would Have To Be Involved And You Would Need Music.

Mr. Speaker, I Once Again Find Myself Compelled To Vote Against The Annual Budget Resolution For A Very Simple Reason: It Makes Government Bigger.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

If Two Parties With Two Sets Of Bad Ideas Cooperate, The Result Is Not Good Policy, But Policy That Is Extremely Bad. What We Really Need Are Correct Economic And Politcal Ideas, Regardless Of The Party That Pushes Them.

There Is Only One Kind Of Freedom And That's Individual Liberty. Our Lives Come From Our Creator And Our Liberty Comes From Our Creator. It Has Nothing To Do With Government Granting It.

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.

Imagine If The Political Elites In Our Country Were Forced To Endure The Same Conditions At The Airport As Business Travelers, Families, Senior Citizens, And The Rest Of Us. Perhaps This Problem Could Be Quickly Resolved If Every Cabinet Secretary, Every Member Of Congress, And Every Department Head In The Obama Administration Were Forced To Submit To The Same Degrading Screening Process As The People Who Pay Their Salaries.

We'd Love It If We Could All Just Come Home And Not Worry About The Rest Of The World. But The Problem Is, They Attacked Us On 9/11. We Were Here; They Attacked Us.

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.

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.

Both Sides Of The Political Spectrum Must One Day Realize That Limitless Government Intrusion In The Economy, In Our Personal Lives, And In The Affairs Of Other Nations Cannot Serve The Best Interests Of America.

In Wartime, People Willing To Sacrifice Liberty For Security.

Ignorance, As Well As Disapproval For The Natural Restraints Placed On Market Excesses That Capitalism And Sound Markets Impose, Cause Our Present Leaders To Reject Capitalism And Blame It For All The Problems We Face. If This Fallacy Is Not Corrected And Capitalism Is Even Further Undermined, The Prosperity That The Free Market Generates Will Be Destroyed.

How Did We Win The Election In The Year 2000? We Talked About A Humble Foreign Policy: No Nation-building; Don't Police The World. That's Conservative, It's Republican, It's Pro-american - It Follows The Founding Fathers. And, Besides, It Follows The Constitution.

Let The Revolution Begin.

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

American Voters

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.

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.

Once Again, President Clinton Is Using American Troops To Deflect Attention From His Record Of Lies, Distortions, Obstructions Of Justice And Abuse Of Power.

I Am Convinced That There Are More Threats To American Liberty Within The 10-mile Radius Of My Office On Capitol Hill Than There Are On The Rest Of The Globe.

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

We Can Achieve Much More In Peace Than We Can Ever Achieve In These Needless, Unconstitutional, Undeclared Wars.

Unconstitutional

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

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.

In A Free Society We're Supposed To Know The Truth. In A Society Where Truth Becomes Treason, Then We're In Big Trouble. And Now, People Who Are Revealing The Truth Are Getting Into Trouble For It.

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

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.

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.

Israeli Government & The Neocons Want Us To Bomb Iran.

Governments, Whether They're Dictatorships Or Democracies, Reflect The People. When The People Get Fed Up, They Throw Them Out.

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.

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.

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.

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

Close Dept. Of Education, But Don't Dismantle Public Schools.

It Is No Coincidence That The Century Of Total War Coincided With The Century Of Central Banking.

It's A Mistake To Think That Poor People Get The Benefit From The Welfare System. It's A Total Fraud. Most Welfare Go To The Rich Of This Country: The Military-industrial Complex, The Bankers, The Foreign Dictators, It's Totally Out Of Control... This Idea That The Government Has Services Or Goods That They Can Pass On Is A Complete Farce. 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.

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.

I Would Absolutely Never Use The Federal Government To Enforce The Law Of Using Marijuana

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.

We Need To Understand The More Government Spends, The More Freedom Is Lost...instead Of Simply Debating Spending Levels, We Ought To Be Debating Whether The Departments, Agencies, And Programs Funded By The Budget Should Exist At All.

A Failing State Cannot Stop A Revolution Whose Time Has Come.

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.

Believe Me, The Next Step Is A Currency Crisis Because There Will Be A Rejection Of The Dollar, The Rejection Of The Dollar Is A Big, Big Event, And Then Your Personal Liberties Are Going To Be Severely Threatened.

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.

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.

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.

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

If I Were In Congress In 1996, I Would Have Voted For The Defense Of Marriage Act, Which Used Congress's Constitutional Authority To Define What Official State Documents Other States Have To Recognize Under The Full Faith And Credit Clause, To Ensure That No State Would Be Forced To Recognize A 'same Sex' Marriage License Issued In Another State.

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

I See This Piece Of Legislation As Essentially Being A Declaration Of Virtual War. It Is Giving The President Tremendous Powers To Pursue War Efforts Against A Sovereign Nation. ...i Think It Is Another Example Of A Flawed Foreign Policy That We Have Followed For A Good Many Decades.

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

The Moral And Constitutional Obligations Of Our Representatives In Washington Are To Protect Our Liberty, Not Coddle The World, Precipitating No-win Wars, While Bringing Bankruptcy And Economic Turmoil To Our People.

Politicians Throughout History Have Tried To Solve Every Problem Conceivable To Man, Always Failing To Recognize That Many Of The Problems We Face Result From Previous So-called Political Solutions. Government Cannot Be The Answer To Every Human Ill. Continuing To View More Government As The Solution To Problems Will Only Make Matters Worse.

From The Great Depression, To The Stagflation Of The Seventies, To The Current Economic Crisis Caused By The Housing Bubble, Every Economic Downturn Suffered By This Country Over The Past Century Can Be Traced To Federal Reserve Policy. The Fed Has Followed A Consistent Policy Of Flooding The Economy With Easy Money, Leading To A Misallocation Of Resources And An Artificial 'boom' Followed By A Recession Or Depression When The Fed-created Bubble Bursts.

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.

Our Constitution, Which Was Intended To Limit Government Power And Abuse, Has Failed.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Most Basic Principle To Being A Free American Is The Notion That We As Individuals Are Responsible For Our Own Lives And Decisions

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.

Have You Noticed The Debt Is Exploding? And It's Not All Because Of Medicare.

Could America Exist Without An Income Tax? The Idea Seems Radical, Yet In Truth America Did Just Fine Without A Federal Income Tax For The First 126 Years Of Her History.

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.

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.

My Message Is Simple - Freedom Works A Lot Better Than The Authoritarian Style Of Government.

Immigrants Can Spread Diseases For Which We May Have No Immunity. There Is Also The Question Of Crime And Culture. Many Immigrants Come From Countries With Different Legal Structures And Are Not Willing To Behave In The Way We Expect American Citizens To Behave.

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.

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

Government Is The Enemy Of Conservatism And Freedom.

Given The Inefficiencies Of What Dc Laughingly Calls The 'criminal Justice System,' I Think We Can Safely Assume That 95 Percent Of The Black Males In That City Are Semi-criminal Or Entirely Criminal.

I Would Say Nobody Is Perfect. I Don't Know All The Answers. I Have Don't Want To Run People's Lives And Run The World And Run The Economy. So, My Qualifications Are A Little Bit Different.

Big Government Flourishes Under Republicans.

Who's Married And Who Isn't Married. I Have My Standards But I Shouldn't Have To Impose My Standards On Others. Other People Have Their Standards And They Have No Right To Impose Their Marriage Standards On Me.

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

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

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.

Freedom Is Living Without Government Coercion. So When A Politician Talks About Freedom For This Group Or That, Ask Yourself Whether He Is Advocating More Government Action Or Less.

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

Only In A Free Society Do Individuals Have The Best Chance To Seek Virtue, Strive For Excellence, Improve Their Economic Well-being, And Achieve Personal Happiness. The Worthy Goals Of Civilization Can Only Be Achieved By Freedom-loving Individuals. When Government Uses Force, Liberty Is Sacrificed And The Goals Are Lost. It Is Freedom That Is The Source Of All Creative Energy.

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.

It Is True That Liberty Is Not Free, Nor Is It Easy. But Tyranny - Even Varying Degrees Of It - Is Much More Difficult, And Much More Expensive. The Time Has Come To Rein In The Federal Government, Put It On A Crash Diet, And Let The People Keep Their Money And Their Liberty.

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.

The Role Of The Federal Government Is To Protect Our Liberties. That Means They Should Protect Our Religious Liberties To Do What We Want; Our Intellectual Liberty, But It Also Should Protect Our Right To Do To Our Body What We Want, You Know, What We Take Into Our Bodies.

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

The Freedom Message Brings Us Together, It Doesn't Divide Us.

It Is Incumbent On A Great Nation To Remain Confident, If It Wishes To Remain Free. We Need Not Be Ignorant To Real Threats To Our Safety, Against Which We Must Remain Vigilant. We Need Only To Banish To The Ash Heap Of History The Notion That We Ought To Be Ruled By Our Fears And Those Who Use Them To Enhance Their Own Power.

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.

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

Spain Has Been Massively Diverting Capital From The Private Sector Into Politically Favored Environmental Projects For The Better Part Of A Decade...every Green Job Created, Eliminated 2.2 Real Jobs And Cost Around $800,000 Each!

This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.

Just Think Of What Woodrow Wilson Stood For: He Stood For World Government. He Wanted An Early United Nations, League Of Nations. But It Was The Conservatives, Republicans, That Stood Up Against Him.

World Government

I Have Come To One Firm Conviction After These Many Years Of Trying To Figure Out The Plain Truth Of Things. The Best Chance For Achieving Peace And Prosperity, For The Maximum Number Of People Worldwide, Is To Pursue The Cause Of Liberty. If You Find This To Be A Worthwhile Message, Spread It Throughout The Land.

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.

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.

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

There Is No Such Thing As A Hate Crime.

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.

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

I Will Veto Any Spending Bill That Contains Funding For Planned Parenthood, Facilities That Perform Abortion And All Government Family Planning Schemes.

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

Nothing Good Can Come From The Federal Reserve. It Is The Biggest Taxer Of Them All. Diluting The Value Of The Dollar By Increasing Its Supply Is A Vicious, Sinister Tax On The Poor And Middle Class.

I Think Israel Should Be Treated As An Independent Nation And Not A Puppet Of Our State.

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.

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.

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.

You Wanna Get Rid Of Drug Crime In This Country? Fine, Let's Just Get Rid Of All The Drug Laws.

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?

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.

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

I Never Voted To Spend One Penny Of Social Security Money.

Legitimate Use Of Violence Can Only Be That Which Is Required In Self-defense.

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.

It Is Dissent From Government Policies Which Defines The True Patriot

The Ultimate Goal Is Not Simply A Superhighway, But An Integrated North American Union--complete With A Currency, A Cross-national Bureaucracy, And Virtually Borderless Travel Within The Union. Like The European Union, A North American Union Would Represent Another Step Toward The Abolition Of National Sovereignty Altogether.

The President And Other Government Officials Denounce School Violence, Yet Still Advocate For Endless Undeclared Wars Abroad And Easy Abortion At Home. U.s. Drone Strikes Kill Thousands, But Nobody In America Holds Vigils Or Devotes Much News Coverage To Those Victims, Many Of Which Are Children, Albeit, Of A Different Color.

General Welfare Is A General Condition - Maybe Sound Currency Is General Welfare, Maybe Markets, Maybe Judicial System, Maybe A National Defense, But This Is Specific Welfare. This Justifies The Whole Welfare State - The Military Industrial Complex, The Welfare To Foreigners, The Welfare State That Imprisons Our People And Impoverishes Our People And Gives Us Our Recession.

The Sad Thing Is, Our Foreign Policy Will Change Eventually, As Rome's Did, When All Budgetary And Monetary Tricks To Fund It Are Exhausted.

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

If Somebody's In Prison For Non-violence, Drug Usage, And Never Committed A Hard Crime, They Should Be Pardoned And Let Out.

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.

Suicide Terrorism Stops When We Stop Intervening Abroad.

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.

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.

We're Being Taxed To Blow Up Bridges In Iraq And Rebuild Them, While Ours At Home Are Falling Down

I Am Absolutely Opposed To A National Id Card. This Is A Total Contradiction Of What A Free Society Is All About. The Purpose Of Government Is To Protect The Secrecy And The Privacy Of All Individuals, Not The Secrecy Of Government. We Don't Need A National Id Card.

[political] Conventions Lend Themselves To Pandering, As Few Politicians Can Resist The Temptation To Tell A National Television Audience How Well They Will Run The Country If Elected. The Problem Is That Government Is Not Supposed To Run The Country - We're Supposed To Be Free.

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.

After Years Spent In Washington, I Have Become More Aware Than Ever Of The Government's Ineptness And The Likelihood Of Its Making Mistakes. I No Longer Trust The U.s. Government To Invoke And Carry Out A Death Sentence Under Any Conditions.

Libertarians Are Incapable Of Being A Racist, Because Racism Is A Collectivist Idea.

There's A A Right To Privacy For All Individuals And All Who Have Legal Rights - And That Includes The Unborn. As An Obstetrician, If I Cause Any Harm To A Fetus, I Will Be Sued. If Someone Kills Or Harms A Fetus They're Liable In A Court Of Law.

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.

By Encouraging Americans To Adopt A Group Mentality, The Advocates Of So Called 'diversity' Actually Perpetuate Racism. Their Obsession With Racial Group Identity Is Inherently Racist.

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.

Republican Control Of The Senate = Expanded Neocon Wars In Syria And Iraq. Boots On The Ground Are Coming!

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

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

They've Been Taught By Too Many That This War Was Necessary When It Isn't.

I Am Just Absolutely Convinced That The Best Formula For Giving Us Peace And Preserving The American Way Of Life Is Freedom, Limited Government, And Minding Our Own Business Overseas.

When One Person Can Initiate War, By Its Definition, A Republic No Longer Exists.

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

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.

As An O.b. Doctor Of Thirty Years, And Having Delivered 4,000 Babies, I Can Assure You Life Begins At Conception.

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.

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

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

Washington Bureaucrats Have Classified The Very Air We Exhale As A Pollutant And Have Gone Unchallenged In This Incredible Assertion. The Logical Consequence Is That There Will Come A Time When We Will Have To Buy A Government Permit Just To Emit Carbon Dioxide Into The Atmosphere From Our Own Lungs!

But Whether The Resistance Against Government Tyrants Is Non-violent Or Physically Violent, The Effort To Overthrow State Oppression Qualifies As True Patriotism.

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?

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.

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.

One Thing Is Clear: The Founding Fathers Never Intended A Nation Where Citizens Would Pay Nearly Half Of Everything They Earn To The Government.

The Founding Fathers Realized That "the Power To Tax Is The Power To Destroy," Which Is Why They Did Not Give The Federal Government The Power To Impose An Income Tax. Needless To Say, The Founders Would Be Horrified To Know That Americans Today Give More Than A Third Of Their Income To The Federal Government.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

The Theory Of The Irs Is Rather Repugnant To Me Because The Assumption Is Made That I, The Government, Owns 100% Of Your Income And I Permit You To Keep 5%, 10% Or 20%. You're Vulnerable, You've Sold Out. The Government Can Take 80% If They Want, Which They Did At One Time.

The Concept Of Equal Pay For Equal Work Is Not Only An Impossible Task, It Can Only Be Accomplished With The Total Rejection Of The Idea Of The Voluntary Contract... The Idea That A Businessman Must Hire Anyone And Is Prevented From Firing Anyone For Any Reason He Chooses, And In The Name Of Rights, Is A Clear Indication That The Basic Concept Of A Free Society Has Been Lost.

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.

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

I'm An Imperfect Messenger, But The Message Is Perfect.

This Is The Deadening Consensus That Crosses Party Lines, That Dominates Our Major Media, And That Is Strangling The Liberty And Prosperity That Were Once The Birthright Of Americans. Dissenters Who Tell Their Fellow Citizens What Is Really Going On Are Subject To Smear Campaigns That, Like Clockwork, Are Aimed At The Political Heretic. Truth Is Treason In The Empire Of Lies.

Believe Me, The Intellectual Revolution Is Going On, And That Has To Come First Before You See The Political Changes. That's Where I'm Very Optimistic.

Back A Hundred Years Ago, Especially Around Woodrow Wilson, What Happened In This Country Is We Took Freedom And We Chopped It Into Pieces.

Another Term For Preventive War Is Aggressive War - Starting Wars Because Someday Somebody Might Do Something To Us. That Is Not Part Of The American Tradition.

I Have Never Met Anyone Who Did Not Support Our Troops. Sometimes, However, We Hear Accusations That Someone Or Some Group Does Not Support The Men And Women Serving In Our Armed Forces. But This Is Pure Demagoguery, And It Is Intellectually Dishonest.

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.

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.

I Hope Every Person Who Reads Or Hears This Will Take The Time To Go Back And Read The Declaration Of Independence. Only By Recapturing The Spirit Of Independence Can We Ensure Our Government Never Resembles The One From Which The American States Declared Their Separation.

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.
