People have called Ron Paul a raciest, Dr. No, a waco, and many other sour names. The real question, do they say those things because he believes that this country has rules, and American's should follow those rules? Yes, yes they do. This country has this thing called a constitution and it is our law. Pure and simple. Ron Paul wants to follow the rules, even if the rules get in the way of his agenda or what he believes in morally right.

This is a man that has stood up to the broken system in the name of liberty, and his repayment is jeers and insults. He was a successful doctor his whole life, the only reason he ran for office and stood up for the rules was because no one else did. He is a great man that is fighting for true, "Transparency." Here is a video that he gave to the house challenging Obama about Afghanistan. It is one of the best speeches I have ever heard. Enjoy

38 months ago: Wow! Very powerful speech. Many good points throughout. He is right on the money about our foreign policy and the reasons we go to war. Hopefully someday in the future we as a people will realize this and be willing to do something about it. Without popular support however, nothing can ever get done.

38 months ago: Great post! This is one of the few of our elected officials whom I believe is actually serving as a "civil service" and not as a career politician. I wish America would wake up to this man who I feel has the medicine we need. The problem is that its not the sweet and sugar coated stuff that has thus far got us farther into the hole. America has become the "fix all the problems but don't let us feel any pain" country. In the real world that just won't work. Sooner or later we will feel the pain and I suspect this massive borrowing we are doing will only delay it a little longer.

38 months ago: Agreed, for some reason America has forgot that the world is hard and unfair. We as a country have accomplished more peace and prosperity than any country in history. Yet, maybe it makes us soft, the world is not fair, but our leaders promise that we will feel no pain and we believe them. What makes our leaders think war will bring peace to the world? They do not know what war is, they do not know the damage it does. Men trained to kill, will never be good at building. We need those brave men, but they are not police and not builders.
