How many of the war neo-con politicians have had their family fight against the "war on terror"? I'm proud of my son, Major Dave, who has flown a total of 40 combat missions in Afghanistan & Iraq's "no fly" zone. And I thank the Lord he has not participated in our criminal imperialist invasion of Iraq!!!
Dr. Ron Paul lives family values - one wife, 5 children (2 MDs) 2 brothers who are ministers, pro-life from conception, anti-death penalty etc. Dr. Paul has the prescription for America's ills of WAR, IRS, NAFTA, JOB DRAIN, NORTH AMERICAN UNION, UNSOUND MONEY, etc.!!!
Wake up young men & women, register to vote - (DRAFT is seriously contemplated) You will be the cannon fodder during our inevitable invasion of IRAN. Support and work for DR. RON PAUL!!!

Virtually every single socio-political-economic maladay affecting the U.S. -- and the globe in general -- can be traced to going off a hard commodity monetary standard, such as gold, and the moral philosophy underlying that.

The non-understanding of the fundamental difference between real money and a paper receipt for real money, and the complete replacement of the former with the latter by those private corporations of central bankers who do know, will be the downfall of not only America and Western Civilization but also finish off killing the underlying concept of a apriori natural rights -- i.e., individuals obtain their rights from Nature, not from governments. Ron Paul is correct in stating that the U.S. Constitution is not a "granting" document, it is a "prohibiting" document, prohibiting infringements against natural rights obtained before the existence of any government.

This inability to conceptualize the true definition of money, as opposed to fiat currency, and the unconstitutional institutionalization of the private Fed Reserve to "manage" the free market (an oxymoron), allows all manner of spending w/o taxation, all manner of creating more fake commercial paper by the subsidiaries of the Federal Reserve including sub-prime mortgages to derivatives to hedge funds to the Yen Carry Trade to Black Box Trading to You-Name-It fake paper, all of which encompass the same concept: i.e., non-collateralized paper, much of which is supposedly "backed" by other non-collaterized paper etc.

Nor is it true that the dollar is backed by America's GDP. The Fed Reserve does not own each citizen's property and thus it cannot be pretended to act as redeemable collateral.

The War in Iraq, Congressional earmarks, deficit financing, and America's onward tromp towards a giant Welfare State to redistribute and control every individual's assets is the direct result of going off the gold standard. By moulding the average citizen's moral philosophy into altruistic collectivism, the only thing left for the Power Brokers was to strip us of a true monetary system and replace it with paper.

The solution to all this madness is to re-institutionalize the concept of true money, commodity money, and redeemable certificates for such, with no fractional reserve banking, and thus allow all citizens to reclaim their inalienable a priori rights in a truly free market rather than the current fake free market of special interest groups.

Ron Paul takes a straight-up approach to governing. I have liked that since I first saw a video of him.
Rudy, took a very McCarthy-like shot at Paul during the debates in May--trying to paint Paul as a sort of unpatriotic conspirator against the American people. Rudy may have just said, "Retract what you said or be hung." But Paul stood his ground.
These comments about how Paul must hate freedom, or that he is a surrender monkey make no sense at all. Was George Washington being unsympathetic to American interests when he said, "Beware of foreign entanglements?" I think Ron Paul is just following our first president's advice.

Vote Ron Paul. WE NEED A CHANGE!! We just need to be the initiators of that change.
