Ron Paul Farewell Address Live Now!

Aren't you just the cutest little ignoramus in the room?

Way to show that off!!

Ron Paul's Farewell Speech to Congress: We Must Reject Coercion as a Tool to Mold Social and Economic Behavior
[link to reason.com]

less than 50%

Paul attacked a long string of what he sees as government abuses, including the National Defense Authorization Act, sanctions, opposition to true free trade, arresting users of medical pot or raw milk, and wonders why Germany wants its gold. He doesn't like how many federal crimes now exist and how insecure our electronic communications are to government snooping.

He attacks the TSA and mandatory sentences in drug prosecutions and the drug war in general, and wonders why you can't criticize AIPAC without committing political suicide. He's against using government to give away others' resources to special interests, and he's against Keynesian economics, and he's for habeus corpus.

Paul is against violence, even for humanitarian reasons. He says only those with criminal minds would want to walk into someone's house and tell them what they need to do, allegedly for their own good. He calls for "no government monopoly over initiating violence," one of the more anarchistic thoughts one has ever heard from the House floor.


"The fact that violence by government is seen as morally justified," he says, will likely lead to more violence in the case of domestic unrest as the result of further economic troubles where people are fighting to keep what they think is theirs. He wonders why government authorities are able to sleep knowing the damage they are causing to others with their wars--and thinks as long as that philosophy of might makes right rules, it will tend to create a lack of morality in the people as well. He pretty much blames public immorality for the immorality of government later on in the talk, lamenting our general loss of understanding that violence to solve social problems is wrong.

He says the rich tend to benefit more from government's income redistribution schemes than the poor. He hat tips the homeschooling movement and the Internet as the likely sources for the spread of the ideas of liberty that America needs to survive the looming crisis.

The trolls are certainly out aren't they? Here is the link to the video and as soon as I can get it off youtube it will be embedded, but for those of you who can't wait to hear Dr. Ron Paul speak here you go.

Ron Paul starts at 02:08:43

they might be trolls here on glp
but their children and grandchildren will know them as traitors who sold out the rights of future generations
paul will have a legacy
and so will those who stood against what he was fighting for...our country, peace, rights and the constitution

Yep. I really feel like he was our last (only) voice for the people/Constitution in the gubmint. Rand has totally sold out to the neocons; who's left?

Farewell to Congress

This may well be the last time I speak on the House Floor. At the end of the year I’ll leave Congress after 23 years in office over a 36 year period. My goals in 1976 were the same as they are today: promote peace and prosperity by a strict adherence to the principles of individual liberty.

It was my opinion, that the course the U.S. embarked on in the latter part of the 20th Century would bring us a major financial crisis and engulf us in a foreign policy that would overextend us and undermine our national security.

To achieve the goals I sought, government would have had to shrink in size and scope, reduce spending, change the monetary system, and reject the unsustainable costs of policing the world and expanding the American Empire.

The problems seemed to be overwhelming and impossible to solve, yet from my view point, just following the constraints placed on the federal government by the Constitution would have been a good place to start.

Rand maybe the trojan horse that is need going into the republican party to wake everyone up and lead them down the correct path towards Liberty. Rand is smarter than you think. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Think about it.

I doubt there's much more history to be written before Christ returns. Seriously.

The fuckin neocons on this forum make me sick! Just like the pharisees in Christ's day, wouldn't know TRUTH if God himself was standing right in front of them.

;)

too bad americans were too belligerently retarded to elect the only sane, honest incorruptible man in politics. dumbfucks of historical proportions

Here u go.

we are.
In 20 years, perhaps, I will be in this position.
I try.
We have to try.
We're all capable of changing history.

I proudly have a t-shirt with this on it.

yes, he did.

good on you

Stunning...add him to Mount Vernon. We don't come close to deserving the likes of him....

Aww, you just gave me some hope.

The thing is not enough watched closely to know he was never going to to win.

It's a shame the corruption is so transparent yet no one cares.

I suspect that's why Gerald Celente calls America "Dumbfukistan."

Well said.

Dr. Paul has shown me that love for freedom, and our country isn't dead. He is the Thomas Jefferson, of our own day. He is a proud Patriot. If ever there was a man on earth that had a love for freedom, God and Country, this man is he. He is the Jesus of our own day, but the government is like the pharisees and saducees that hate him, and want to destroy him for what he stands for. They are about oppression, hate, and evil. He is about freedom, God, and the love for moral and personal freedom. I salute you Dr. Paul.
