OK, call me cynical. I just feel that Paul is responding to the popularity of the Occupy protests. Thank for the the opportunity to view this video, Ken. I am sure it will become controversial.

Bee Hive, these are just things he has always stood for. I've felt OWS Broiling inside of the people in my travels for years. It sure is sounding to me that Dr Paul has some steps forward from the crap that is causing the crap.

Dr. Ron Paul is the answer for change for all Americans & the rest of the world! The reasons why I state this so strongly are:

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

Obama, Gingrich, Santorum, Romney are all ZIONIST EVIL pushers to destroy US ALL! Thanks Ken, good post.

Henirette: Dr. Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders, and sixteen other Representatives did everything you listed. It is not that hard in the crowded House. Senator Bernie Sanders is the only one to ever do it in the Senate.

Michael, we can only move ourselves away from the crap that is causing the crap, by shaking ourselves free of the system which has been masterfully devised to ensnare us. We have to do this in order to teach others how to do so.

ALL OF US will not be destroyed until after they have pried my rifle for my cold dead fingers. I go to target practice weekly. I have many friends who act and feel as I do. Our numbers grow daily, nationally by word of mouth only.

I am too busy learning how to free myself, and thus enable others to free themselves, to be morbidly fascinated by the opposition.

Thank again, Ken, this is another excellent topic and it is raising a well thought out dialogue.

Awesome ad - and Ron Paul is not responding to OWS, he is doing and saying the same things he has done for 30 years. Quite simply, he is the ONLY candidate who is a defender of liberty, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

@Tony, 30 years would include Dr. Paul's racist newsletters and comments such as the one below, which I was hoping to avoid:

DR. Ron Paul Survival Report newsletter, alarm was raised about “The Disappearing White Majority.” The newsletter referenced the growing birth rate of people of color and expressed a pro-segregation stance with this comment: “It is human nature that like attracts likes. But whites are not allowed to express this same human impulse. Except in a de facto sense, there can be no white schools, white clubs, or white neighborhoods. The political system demands white integration, while allowing black segregation.”

Ron Paul has a lot to offer,
everyone else including Obama have a lot to hide.

Is it any wonder the establishment won't give him any ice time and want to shut him up.
They even cringe when they have to briefly mention his name in passing on the fake news stations, and quickly move on to their favorite plant of the week to make it look like we have a close race going on with the other three, It's so easy to spot the fakes who participate in this cover up to save their own jobs,
what a frieken joke.
It's all theatre for TV land zombies who think they know whats going on- THEY DON'T.
All the crap and chaos the establishment is creating makes perfect sense once you know and understand what their game plan is. Ron Paul knows what their plan is for you- do you?
If you don't you may have been in a 30 year coma.
Just maybe it's time to stop talking and exercise your right to listen to facts and reason.

Bee Hive your a good mainstream media reporter, you love to dig up old news, anything to try to discredit R.P. Wonder if it is a game you love to play as it can work both ways. But I am not that kind of person to dig up your old dirt where you have attacked, degraded many members & many of my GREAT friends. You are quite something else & in this case it is not meant as flattering, very far from it! Just maybe you need to read my friend Cary V. comment below your own & get with the program! You ought to know better! Unless you choose to give positive advice, I say keep your negativity in check & to yourself. I am personally sick of reading & wasting my time with your crap. Ron Paul is the only sane candidate to make positive change for America & you are to busy flapping your innuendos.

Ron Paul is the only GOP candidate who speaks against US Military engagement in foreign countries. To many Americans it sounds good. To citizens of the world this is all that matters now. Question is: if elected, will he be able to deliver.

Yes, we know about Paul's anti-environmentalist and anti-social programs agenda. Guess what, Pres. Obama said last week that his government will allow drilling at every prosperous oil well, so for the rest of us Paul is equally bad. On social programs and public spending, well, this will hurt US citizens. Sorry Americans, but this harms us far less than humanitarian interventions, bombings, drones, spec-ops, targeted killings, collaterals... Than again, we, non-Americans, do not vote in elections which considerably affect our lives and, occasionally, death. Something's wrong here.

Ron Paul's INCREDIBLE Speech!!!

This is why so many active corps and veterans support RP.

@Bee Hive - For the record, I challenge you to find me 16 other members of congress who have done every single thing Henriette listed in her post. I bet you cannot find a single one who has served more than two terms. And as for Bernie Sanders, I realize that he is quite the bees knees for the nanny state liberal crowd, but surely you have to be kidding to say that he has duplicated every item on the list. Never voted for a single tax increase or unbalanced budget? Never voted to increase the power of the federal government? Research says quite the opposite.

Paul would set the top right, by helping to break us free from what enslaves us.

But when people call this a nanny state, I'd like to put my fist through their teeth.

Bernie is another good man of the people. As much as I would like to see Paul in, I'd like to see the people in the street in support of Sander's scrap the $106.8 cap, and tax all above $250 grand. That is not an oppressive tax. Its been needed.

Right now, we can drop any and all discussions, abut ending SS, just as we can stop any and all discussions on abortions left right or in between. Maybe in a 100 years they can bring them topics up, but not now!

Ron Paul has no idea what enslaves anyone, Michael. He is as tetched as any loony-bird out there. Ron Paul's concept of reality is based so completely on the delusional tripe from Ayn Rand that he named his son after her. Ron Paul, Alan Greenspan, Paul Ryan, Clarence Thomas, John Stossel all share that grand distinction of being mindless followers of Ayn Rand. That's some company you're keeping these days.

Oh our foreign policy and monetary system is enslaving us, and so is the drug war. Sometimes he does come off as acting only on economics, but he goes much deeper than that. From having read some Jefferson, know full well he knew defense and banks would one day enslave us, which they now have.

You're mistaking those people for the right wing shadow government. If Paul was to be president, he would be powerless as the fascist congress would never send him a bill he could sign.

We need to vote OUT the right wing shadow government to take the first step in getting back the american dream and neuter the MIC.

Norm C: The fool and buffoon here is Ron Paul whose grasp of history and national security is limited at best. He has a point with the Federal Reserve and feel it's a big problem also but he fails to understand that the US does not have the monetary and banking system that was in place when the Fed came into being. Note that the currency says "Federal Reserve Note" not even "Silver Certificate" that was around until the early 1970s. Much of the "money supply" is actually electronic and not even paper so how you handle that without destroying people's savings is not addressed by Paul nor is the currency issue. The Fed is also the primary source for clearance of both checks and efts so how that would be handled is another issue. Whenever I listen to Paul I see a simple mind at work when it comes to real solutions on his issues.

Thank you, Norm, John Coleman, and Jason. The squalling brats here do not here know who Ayn Rand is, despite the fact that she is author on which RP has consistently, even now, based his political agenda.

Tony, let us go to the Federal Register for any year that Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders were together in the House. Let us see which one voted in the interest of the people. Better yet, let us decide which one better represented the people who elected him, by voting on more legislation. Absent, Absent, Absent. Ron, obedient to his Ayn Rand political philosophy, spent a great deal of time comfortably relaxing at home in Texas.

Calle, the military medical position to which you are trying to refer, can only be filled by a medical doctor. That is why we call him Dr. Paul. duh?!

Jelica, thank you for having an open mind. Catherine, thank you for having an open mind and speaking up for more open minds in Care 2. Yes, this thread has become pathetic in how much it is trying to bash open minds.

Tuesday March 27, 2012, 1:46 pm
Henriette: Certainly the blatant money supply creation over the last few years is a huge problem but not sure how you will suddenly move to a gold or other metals based system without massive deflation and similar dislocations in the economy. How that would affect the economy and personal finances of everyone sure needs to be addressed. The same is true of other functions now performed by the Fed like inter bank transfers which is what efts and check clearance is. Like Ronnie's naive national "security" policy, his really off the cuff approach to economics shows a really shallow depth of knowledge and lack of specifics on his "solutions". To be sure there is a lesser or greater degree of problems and some stupidity in both national security and money policy today but a solution must be realistic, thought out, and comprehensive which is where Paul falls down completely. ,

Rule #1 if you aren't watching C-span and the real workings and issues of government, you're watching the enemy of the people, for they control the media, your opinion and how you think, if you let them.

Turn on C-span and WATCH the right peel your rights away for more corporate power. No one is going on the air to tell you what you can see and hear in real time.

Yet I think his populism is dangerous - sorry I don't trust him : pointing at problems is not solving them!
 

Michael Dewey (1077)
Tuesday March 27, 2012, 3:16 pm
I do wish that Dr. Paul would talk about North Dakota's State Bank as a way to compete with the FED. 17 States have Bills going before their State House's on that. Personally I love Vermont's Bill to issue its own currency. Don't see where Paul would stop something like that. Even the Chief of the Fed is open to discuss competing currency. I will not fault a man who got into Politics for him seeing economic troubles coming.

"It's the duty of patriots to protect his/her country from fools, buffoons, idiots and mindless minions obediently following the demagogue of the day who promises things while hiding his real intentions." -quoted by Norm C.

Norm, I quite agree with that sentiment. In '08 Obama supporters needed to heed that advice. Ron Paul is not the demagogue here.

And, FYI, Dr. and Mrs. Paul did not name their son, Senator Randal Paul, after Ayn Rand. His parents named him Randal and called him by his nic-name, Randy. It was 'Randy's' wife who started calling him Rand. Thought you'd like to know so you can stop taking the time to spread that kind of false misinformation.

Ya know, you're free to disagree with Paul's policies, but it would be better if when you're attempting to discredit him that you be factual about it. You haven't been yet. I just see a little paragraph of insults with nothing to back them up.


Tony, I'd like to see that list of 16 as well - and they better have a 100% Constitutional voting record to match Paul's as well.
 

Katii L. (123)
Tuesday March 27, 2012, 3:44 pm
Vicky, on what evidence are you claiming that Paul's policies and beliefs are "crazy" ? Have you studied economics for the past few decades or more? What's your background in the history of money? Do you know what U.S. Constitutional money is - and why it is? What's your background in foreign policy and geopolitical history? Do you know what the Constitution says and know what it means? Have you read the Federalist Papers? I'm going to guess the answer to my first question is that you have no evidence, and that the answer to the rest of my questions the answer is no, but would you care to explain what exactly is crazy - and why - anyway?

Over 200 senior bankers arrested last week as new financial system goes online


Posted by benjamin

March 26, 2012


The new financial system is online now and abundant financing is either already or soon to be made available, according to dragon family representatives. The final take down of the criminal cabal has also begun in earnest with over 200 senior bankers arrested and 450 resigned last week alone, these sources say. Japan is also now doing the final paperwork needed to set up an international economic planning agency with an initial funding facility of $10 trillion or about 200 times what the World Bank lends every year, according to Japanese government sources. There will be some sort of announcement about this and other things on Tuesday evening, March 27th, 2012 Japan Standard Time according to illuminati and White Dragon Society sources. The arrest of some very high profile individuals is imminent.

I am anti Paul and anti Repug, Ron Paul is as nutty as the others. You can't have 50 different states with different currency and different rules. Then, what you have is Europe. How well is that working? You Paul supporters are only looking at 1 issue; the man is against women just like the other Repugs and how any woman with a half a brain would condone that is beyond me. Dismantling the government or restricting the funding of departments such as EPA is not going to help us except to kill us more quickly. I don't see how you fail to see the folly of Ron Paul. I am not an Obama lover either, he is like Romney, he moves with the wind. Grow a pair and stick to your convictions, I will give Ron Paul his due there but no way in hell would I ever vote for him.

Katii, you are asking for some amazing qualifications for posting a one phrase statement.

Of course, to avoid bias, we would all need to have a portfolio of our qualifications to post on every subject we wished to post. We would probably need to post the information on our qualifications to post before we actually did post.

Can you imagine the length of the threads? We would be scrolling forever. There must be another solution.

Maybe some kind of basic intelligence qualification for general posting. Something easy to compare between posters. Something we did not need to post before every post we wish to make..

Something on the profile like a special space to display our scores on the Intelligence Quotient Test, the Scholastic Aptitude Test, and the Graduate Records Examination. Let us not trust each to be truthful about this information. We should empower Care 2 by signing over permission for Care 2 to receive this private information about us from appropriate educational data banks and government agencies.

Of course, Care 2, will not longer be free, some data banks charge for this information. Of course, Care 2 will have to research the tests that are considered crucial indicators of intelligence in different countries and that would be expensive. Still eliminating unqualified posters from posting phrases (especially phrases we do not like) will be worth it.

Janet, the eurozone is modeled right along the same lines of the central banking of the Fed. Belgium took a 5-1 hit on its gold backed currency when it was setup. So its not working any better than the Fed, which since 1913, has devalued the dollar to be worth 5 cents of what the 1913 dollar was. The Colonies once had their own sound money. The Bank of England taking that right away, is one of the reasons our founding Patriots risked everything for, after it caused wide spread unemployment.

Kucinich has some good thoughts on the way out of the beast of the Fed, which we can not get out of overnight. He wants to put it under the Treasury, which sure sounds like a step forward over it being the other way around now. Dennis would also like to faze out fiat banking over a 10 year span. North Dakota's State Bank has worked fine for over 90 years. Its President though, does not give all the credit, for ND doing better than other States right now, to the State Banking, but he does think its part of the reason.

Actually, like we've been doing at Care2 for the past 12 or more years is if we are not qualified ourselves to form an opinion we seek experts who are and share their views to substantiate our claims. Nobody here has even attempted to qualify their claims - they just blurt them out as if they were 'common knowledge' when they are not knowledge at all. It's just 'accusations' based on corporate media's unsupported claims (lies). So, no, nobody has to list their qualifications ;) Just provide some backup information from reliable sources. This is not rocket science, and nobody needs a college degree to ferret out honest information! Isn't that cool? :)

The most telling part of the ad was all of Ron Paul supporters in military formation and lock-stepping, just like his racist, white supremacist neo-nazi supporters. And for all of the Freedom and Constitution propagandist crap, just like his jackass son or vise versa, Paul does not support or endorse the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, has had absolutely no problem attacking a Woman's Right to Choose and he sure as hell is no friend of the LGBT community. His Freedom and Liberty crusade is for White Christian Males and no one else. His economics and isolationism are 2 Centuries old.

Jason, last week a Republican Congressman actually told women to donate to Democrats:

As the only Republican Congressman at a rally for the Equal Rights Amendment on Thursday, Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) gave women an unexpected piece of advice: Give your money to Democrats.

"I think these are very precarious times for women, it seems. So many of your rights are under assault," he told the crowd of mostly women. "I'll tell you this: Contribute your money to people who speak out on your behalf, because the other side -- my side -- has a lot of it. And you need to send your own message. You need to remind people that you vote, you matter, and that they can't succeed without your help." […]

"This is a dogfight, it's a fistfight, and you have all the cards," he said. "I can only tell you to get out there and use them. Tell the other women, the other 51 percent of the population, to kick in a few of their bucks. Make it matter, get out there, get on TV, advertise, talk about this. The fact that you want [the ERA] is evidence that you deserve it and you need it."

That Republican is right: it's time to make Republicans pay at the ballot box for the war on women they are waging across the country.

People who call the DR a racist, are as much a racist, as Limbaugh calling Obama a racist. Period. How can someone who would pardon all non-violent drug offenders, the majority of which are people of color be a racist. I judge people by their fruits of what they want, and I walk away when I hear name calling from any and all sides!

"May I say that Ron Paul's degree is not economy nor law, yet Katii has no objections on Paul speaking of FED and Constitution. Yet, to comment on Paul's views, we must be qualified professional economists and/or lawyers. Ahem... " -Jelica

Oh sure, you can say whatever you want to! :) You may be accurate that Paul does not have a piece of paper from some college or university that says he has a degree in economics or law (to my knowledge, I couldn't swear to it, could you?). Regardless, BFD. What he DOES have is the past 30+ YEARS of "experience" and STUDYING and practicing economics AND Constitutional law (your degreed friends studied for no more than 8 years, most studied for just 4 years - and their "experience" ? Who knows. I know what Paul's is. He's been trying to protect America's economy from the "boom & bust/bubble & burst cycle we suffer every few years, along with the inflation we suffer every time the Fed prints billions of 'brand new dollars', which explains why our Federal Reserve Notes (so-called dollars) hold just 5% of the value it held in 1013 when it was created: http://theamericanscholar.org/living-on-500000-a-year/).

So, of course I have no problem with Paul sharing his practiced and experienced knowledge with those who are either misinformed or uninformed (by the way, I do NOT accept ANY information without question - I do the homework to VERIFY) . I have no problem with Paul putting our alleged "money experts" on the Congressional stand (so to speak) and questioning their so-called 'wisdom' - like asking that POS Bernanke, "Is gold is money?" To which Bernanke answered "No." Hmm... no? Well, why did the Founders describe a "dollar" as a particular weight of Silver or Gold (based on the Spanish 'dollar' of the day: a specific weight of Silver coin) ? and why does his bank store tons and tons of gold? Ahem....)

At any rate, I was not 'demanding' college degrees of anyone. I merely asked on what evidence, experience, or knowledge Vicky was basing her opinions because she provided nothing but slew of insults and accusations. If that's her "opinion" then we have nothing to go on to tell us her opinion is an informed and objective one; therefore it's useless to anyone seeking the truth.


______________________________


On the subject of money, I borrowed this explanation of what "Constitutional money" is from a comment in answer to someone's questioning the legality of the Federal Reserve bank, it's "Federal Reserve Notes," and what the federal government can and can not do (Constitutionally, that is) - it should be helpful in for those who may not understand, like I didn't understand until I started studying it myself a couple of years ago:

"The Constitution is NOT a list of what the federal government cannot do. It is NOT a list of prohibitions on the federal government.

The Constitution IS a list of what the federal government is authorized to do, with ALL ELSE being DENIED to it by default. The absense of specific constitutional authorization for anything means that the federal government is denied/prohibited by default.

Amendments 9 & 10 are probably the clearest and most simple explanation of that point:

AMENDMENT IX
RIGHTS RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

AMENDMENT X
POWERS RETAINED BY THE STATES AND THE PEOPLE
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

About the money issue, take the following from the Constitution:

Article I, Section 8, Clause 5: The Congress shall have Power…To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.

Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall…coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debt.

So, from that we have:

1. The federal government can coin money.

2. States cannot coin money.

3. States have the authority of determining what can be used as a tender in payment of debts by default, because the federal government does not have that specific constitutional authorization.

4. States are then prohibited by the Constitution from making any Thing but gold or silver coin a tender in payment of debts. (Which also additionally proves that #3 is correct.)

Regarding your other question about the Federal Reserve [being Constitutional]... in order for the Federal Reserve to be legal, as per the highest law of our land, it MUST be specifically authorized by the Constitution. It is not, therefore it is forbidden by default.

By the way, in case you weren't aware - the Federal Reserve is our nation's THIRD incarnation of a central bank." -Submitted by john2k on Thu, 05/21/2009

______________________________

So, which candidate is telling you the truth about the Constitutionality of the Federal Reserve? Who is telling you what Constitutional money is?

Only one. Ron Paul.

ALL the others - including Obama (and just about everyone else in Congress and all Presidents since the creation of the Fed (with the exception of JFK!) - will not share this truth with you because it would abruptly end the game of their pandering to the wealthy and powerful by stealing the wealth from the poor and middle class and funneled to the already wealthy.

I don't know about you, but I would LOVE to have a 'dollar' that would purchase 95% more than it does.

A little research will teach you that it is "because" of the Federal Reserve that the dollar has been DEvalued by 95% since the creation of the Fed. You will learn that it is "because" of the Fed and the unconstitutional 16th Amendment (created to support the new 'FED' with the new "income tax" [the 'unconstitutional' tax] that the government was going to start extracting from Americans' paychecks so they could afford to pay interest on the endless supply of Federal Reserve 'loans' and spending, provided by these two new "laws", that they saw in their future) that our dollar has been devalued buy all but a nickel today (how many nickels in a dollar? 20. That is at 'least' how many 'dollars' you need today to pay for the same thing five cents cost in 1913 - the 'thing' hasn't changed in all those years - it's the same dirt that grew produce then as does now, it's the same oil that supplies the energy, same wood and concrete to build a home now as then, etc. etc.). And the really horrible part is that our wages have been stagnant over the past 20 years or so while prices for goods and services have inflated. WE can't keep up with the rising prices. That's why it takes something like $65,000.00 a year today to provide the same standard of living that less than $10,000 bought in the early 60's (when we could still afford to go to the doctor when we needed to WITHOUT insurance. Why? Because the insurance industry hadn't inflated the cost of medicine to such astronomical prices (prices inflate when 'insurance' pays for them, not the other way around - just look at the cost of auto body repairs under the 'comprehensive auto insurance' model today compared to the 'no comprehensive (collision) insurance model' of yesteryear).

Yes, Paul is against income tax. Amen and God Bless him. It's an unConstitutional tax that has made every working American a slave to the state. It's also a tax that for about 200 years America flourished WITHOUT (we aren't exactly 'flourishing' anymore, are we...).

LLOYD, What a Shameful, Disgraceful - and stupid - thing to say. Every single one of those men and women who were standing in formation, saluting, were U.S. MILITARY VETS honoring their brothers and sisters in arms who were killed in action, and those who died because they committed suicide (two separate moments of silence and prayer) since 2009.

These brave soldiers, who risked their lives so YOU could live free, were there supporting FREEDOM - and PEACE. In case you are unaware, "neo-nazi's" don't favor or support freedom - or peace.

Just one: the little-known Buddy Roemer, a former governor of Louisiana who has campaigned in Iowa just twice this year, most recently in May. Five studied politics in undergraduate school: President Barack Obama, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, and U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter. RON PAUL: Bachelor’s degree in biology, 1957, Gettysburg College. Medical degree, 1961, Duke University" That was just an FYI - :)

They have a conversation and both newly met friends know the name Ron Paul
From this he concludes that the United States is the big elephant in the room whose every move resonates around the world. Yawn. Not really a stunning affirmation when you think about it. Just saying., although it was a harmless enough read - thanks for sharing :)

Um, I didn't follow Calle's link, but it's true that Ron Paul is respected around the world. ANYwhere you travel online that has an international membership you will find that non-Americans are very well aware of Ron Paul and "support" him. I wish I had a $1.00 for every time I've seen a comment from someone outside the US that expressed their DESIRE that America "elect Ron Paul." You see, THEY are sick of the wars and the money/market manipulations, the flailing economies, and the failing monetary system/s as well. They seem to be more informed and aware than most Americans about the most critical issues facing not just ourselves but the world - and our government is part and parcel of every bit of suffering these mis-managed issues have caused all over the globe. Ron Paul would like to put an end to that kind of suffering through sound money and currency policies - what people like Vicky and LLOYD call "crazy."

verb (used with object), -at·ed, -at·ing.
1.
to establish by proof or competent evidence: to substantiate a charge.
2.
to give substantial existence to: to substantiate an idea through action.
3.
to affirm as having substance; give body to; strengthen: to substantiate a friendship.

Does that means that for Ron Paul a formal degree is not needed because he learned from his experience; but here, on care2, we'd better submit our credentials, which are worthless anyway, compared to 30+ years of experience (especially if we follow Keynesian school of economics)?

BTW, I agree with you on Keynesian economics, also known as Boston School (Why not pay tribute to Milton Friedman for it's mercilessly promotion?), which was exposed in Naomi Klein's book "Shock Doctrine". Nasty, destructive and extremely short-sighted theory.

"Thank you Ken. I say kick both the Democrats and Republicans out of Government. Replace with compassionate,caring and People's People who cannot be bought off or corrupted by the evil
and Power Hungry Zionist Lobby -AIPAC!!" -Mary This is at tge very coreof why people support Ron Paul. And I believe with my whole being that if mainstream media were working for "us" and deluvering real, honest, and 'meaningful' information that actually informed and educated Americans about the things most important to their lives and country, then most American voters would not only understand Paul's policies, they would be supporting him. The relationship between mainstream media and its viewer's is, for all intents and purposes, "garbage in, garbage out." The relationship between Ron Paul's message and his listeners is "truth in, truth out." Agree or disagree with his personal views and opinions/beliefs (which he has and never presume to impose on you), you will get the truth, honesty, and facts from RP. Add to that his record for defending the Constitution and our Civil Rights, THE most important things to all Americans whether they know it or not, makes Ron Paul the best and only 'real' hope for America 'right now'. RIght now we need a president who can and will address our biggest problem 'right now', which is the looming and very real threat to our security: the dollar crashing. If it is going to happen there is nothing to stop it now, its too late, it will happen on the next President's watch. I want that President to know the right things to do and NOT do to get us through it with the least amount of pain and time. If it doesn't happen then its still a win because our Civil Rights will be restored, and the broken Amendments will be repaired, the wars of aggression will end, thousands of our international brothers and sisters' lives will be saved. WIN WIN WIN

Thank you,Katii. My ability to extrapolate is closely tied with the given material, which is partially your merit.

Right on the point, Mary. Kick the merchants from the temple! While at it, do not forget both federal houses, your state house, city hall... the point is to change the paradigm, steer the public attention towards real problems - which are a rapid decline of civil rights, as Ron Paul rightly warns, but even more underlaying economic freedoms. Democracy means free participation in public life and equality in decision-making. This is freedom. Occasional work for minimum wage is not freedom, life in the polluted environment is not freedom, mass-produced food without nutritional value, which causes disease and obesity is not freedom; limited access to good education is not freedom... Decent living standard is the basis of every freedom. Slaves are not free because they have no choice. They can not afford it.
The main reason for the existence of any government is to preserve freedoms and to create conditions for community development and prosperity of all citizens. Everything else is an abuse of power and can not be justified nor tolerated.

Aaron Burr, George Washington's vice president, killing Alexander Hamilton, George Washington's Secretary of the Treasury. 2. The whip in the hand of President Andrew Jackson.

The health of the Republic and the Rights of the People were more important to Burr and Jackson than drawing their next breath. From the eight years of the revolutionary war, through Burr and Jackson, to the battlefield deaths of the war on terror, a very heavy price has been paid for the liberty of those of us living in the US.

Time well spent, Katii.

I learned terms like "sheeple" in the 1960's. I do not think it is a case of sheeple as much as people do not know what to do. And, they are quite correct. We cannot effectively fight the system that has been designed to enslave us without removing ourselves from the system as much as possible. So, I teach food thrift technologies at one of the local Farmers' Markets every other day. I am also developing an online business selling Food Thrift Technology information. I spend every Friday helping with food preparation at a local Occupy Protest. I help design "down with the corporations" bumper stickers for the Net Roots movement.
 

Katii L. (123)

"down with corporations" -Bee Hive I don't work for one (but most employed Americans do), but I do own a "corporation." Why do you want to destroy my eco-friendly business and my family's income? What have I done to deserve that? I'm not one of those progressive banisters or conglomerates that took the American tax payer for several trillion dollars. I didn't cause anyone to lose their homes (I tried to circumvent the worst of the "meltdown" by trying to get Paul elected in '08 - he lost, and here we are a few thousand dead US soldiers later with a further devalued dollar, inflation, and $5 Trillion MORE in debt.
 

Betsy Bee (1369)
Saturday March 31, 2012, 8:37 am
Oh my, I own a corporation too. I will sell the food thrift information under a corporate umbrella. There are Corporations and there are CORPORATIONS. For instance, my bumper stickers have a particular corporate crime with date if possible and the the name of the criminal - Goldman Sachs, Monsanto, Verizon, you get the drift.

Personally I feel like I have been lobbied out of national and state politics. I am concentrating on the county which really is the strongest political entity under English Common Law/Magna Carta law codes. A county sheriff embodies the sovereign power of the people to act in behalf of the people in parts of the county and at times when the people cannot be present. A county sheriff could legally shut down Wells Fargo Bank. A county sheriff could reinstate all provisions of the 4th through 8th Amendments for the citizens of his/her county. Abraham Lincoln made laws with provisions like NDAA 2012, county sheriffs declined to enforce these laws in their counties.

I think I like Paul for the same reasons am pretty Arlo Guthrie does. He would make the structural changes at the top, so that communities would be able to take care of themselves. That's what I gather from Arlo still singing about Harry Bridges and his support of Paul.

Politics in the US of A - always makes for very interesting reading, albeit a bit heavy for a Sunday afternoon! Thanks to all for comments - but it sure is nice to 'sit on the sidelines and watch the story unfold'!!

Yes, Bee Hive, we should all be VERY MINDFUL that we elect CONSTITUTIONAL (Oatch Keeper) County Sheriffs! And be just as mindful when electing the President of the United States. Ergo, I support Ron Paul - the ONLY Constitutional presidential candidate that has a leg in this race.

Sheriff Mack, Oath Keeper Sheriff, addresses this in the following video: http://youtu.be/n_bLhCZr8N0 People might want to pick up his book, "The County Sheriff, America's Last Hope" .. Please do watch the video.

Yes, Katii, formal Oathkeepers. But sheriffs in their hearts too. Most are far more loyal to their communities than they are to global plutocrats.

Exactly. I posted the vid so others can know that America's County Sheriffs are uniting with the Oath Keepers - formally.
