Let's Talk About Ron Paul

[HeavenSent]

He says he will end the Income tax and America's dependancy of the Central Bank.

He's saying all the right words for people concerned about the stability of America in the way it was designed by our Founding Fathers.

He sounds as ambitious as Kennedy did.
Kennedy got assassinated... Ron Paul, I fear will too for the same reasons.

EDIT:> Kennedy's speech on secret societies:

imo we don't need ambition and radical changes atm. we need someone to fix shit up and do it quickly.

not that our votes count anyway.

Yeah right, that is going to happen ...

Sad, I have paid more income tax than I have saved ... I earned very little but the amount I have paid last year was enough to buy a brand new car.

So sad.

Small government doesn't exist anymore, at least for any nation the size of a continent. His heart is in the right place I believe but his proposed policies and what not are on the edge of reason.

Fixing shit quickly usually ends up with our hands and faces covered in more shit.

No.

No.

Thanks for keeping the thread alive

His policies could have worked 10-20 years ago.

Today the country's economy is in such a mess it can't.

Ron Paul is a revolutionary in it's truest sense. Revolutions aren't changing things to make them completely new, they're restoring them to an older order. That's what we need in America. People are wrong if they think we should go around policing the World. We cannot financially manage to do this, and we'll only create enemies. Let them do what they want, build up our borders, protect our citizens, reduce poverty within our nation and move on. I'm not talking isolation, we should still have free trade and help out nations that are deathly poor like Africa, just like Ron Paul says.

Oh, and as for people saying he's not going to win or our vote won't count or anything like that: I don't care either way, I've set my mind on who deserves to run our country this next election, and the fact that some other people don't think he stands a chance in winning doesn't deter me in the slightest. After all, why would I be influenced by what other people vote, isn't it about who I personally believe can change America for the better? If you're just voting for someone because other people are voting for him/her, do us all a favor and don't vote at all. Educate yourself on what candidates stand for, and make a judgment call on whether you can rely on them to do as they say and then vote accordingly.

As for Ron Paul being assassinated... I don't think it's all that far fetched, but I'd still be somewhat surprised. Many corrupt entities would be under fire if Ron Paul was elected.

Those videos of him absolutely destroying the FED never get old.

Revolutions aren't changing things to make them completely new, they're restoring them to an older order.

So this means that the Industrial Revolution was restoring the world to an older order? As in we once had factories then those damn farmboys took over and destroyed them all. So we had a revolution to restore them?

Are you implying that everything was new in the industrial revolution? You're only looking at one aspect of society. To state that everything was new is wrong.

[Galleleo]

Most people would call the industrial revolution a change to something new, not returning to an old order.. I don't see how you could call the Industrial revolution as in returning to something older.

Indeed, most people would call the industrial revolution a change to something new, myself included. Most people would also understand that it didn't change everything to new as well. Though I do see your point, I was a bit over zealous in my statement but there are and have been revolutions where the changes were new, but they were changes back to previous iterations of society. Additionally, revolutions today aren't the same as revolutions from many many years ago.
