Ron Paul

Liberty. A concept that has been so dear to this country. Why is it never brought up in the debates for government policy? The leverage always seems to fall in the hands of controlled government policy for protection. "Give me liberty, or give me death." Yet so many are swayed by the argument that we must "protect" ourselves. Give up your liberties to "protect" against drugs. Give up your liberties to "protect" against terrorists. It has historical precedent to give up our liberties for protection so why fight it? I argue that it also shows historical precedent that our country has progressively lost effectiveness, strength, and foundation. The Constitution isn't seen as the foundation anymore, it is an obstacle that government attempts to circumvent. So why is it that Ron Paul is the only one that is arguing that government should get out of people's lives, and we should operate in a strict constitutionalism? Why is Ron Paul the only person questioning the Federal Reserve while our economy begins to plummet as the dollar (a currency based on belief in the American economy, rather than on any real commodity) weakens. I am completely amazed at the suppression of Ron Paul's objectives in mass media. How could the idea of a national health care system even be discussed? Have we not learned our lessons with the social security debacle, or the experiences of veterans in VA hospitals? How do they plan on generating these systems? More taxes? Taxing the American people even more than they already are? Just for kicks, check out the taxes that the British government was trying to implement on the American colonists when the American Revolution took place. I must say, I am very impressed by ability of media, and the federal government to keep such a historically strong people quelled. However, there is a point when people will say, enough. I don't get to say when that is, but personally, Ron Paul is the only person that I can see helping to bring about the change that REALLY needs to happen.
