I've only "known" Dr. Paul for less than a year. How this brilliant, wise and humble man has managed to stay so dignified while in the belly of the beast is a mystery to me. I am forever grateful to this extraordinary man, his message and all of you who walk this path.

I feel somewhat able to relate to his mentality and so maybe I can speak to that a little. I've kinda believed in pretty everything he's argued for over the past year or so except one or two things and economics. That was new to me and probably the thing I have taken from this campaign/movement. The other thing is probably the abortion issue. I used to be I guess sympathetic to the "pro-choice" viewpoint, though always kinda felt the whole discussion is bullshit anyway. What I liked about Paul is he filled in the wholes in my suspicion in that abortion is a symptom or a largely problem of irresponsibility. In fact, I don't even think he's technically "pro-life" as much as he is pro individual responsibility and pro who cares about defining when life begins but simply that it begins. Or at least that's how I look at it.
Either way, I think you're looking at this incorrectly. I think his "dignity" you see is really a by product of, dare I say, his stupidity. In other words, it's not so much dignity as much as he simply doesn't give a shit. All the corrupt and atrocious behavior and environment that exists around him there ironically serves only to reinforce his outlook on life, only gets him more anger and more convicted and even more scared. I think a by product of him having insight into the realities of things really terrifies him, in a healthy way.
So what I think it really comes day to is really just a genuine level of miscommunication between him and the "rest." That's why I hesitate to describe it as dignity. Dignity implies some sort of struggle and internal battle being overcome, a sort of ability to stave off the bad from the good. But I just think that doesn't exists in him. I don't think he struggles to fight being sucked into the "bad." I think rather he just doesn't get it, he doesn't relate to it so there just isn't anything to "worry about." If anything, dare I say, he's kinda above being dignified, if there's such a thing. He fights the absurd stupidity because he is so confident in his beliefs and the more stupidity that is displayed the more attached he simply becomes to his beliefs. The results of the stupidity only serves to reinforce his beliefs because he sees what he already knows in his head play out in reality later. Hence, the reinforcement.
To put it as simple as possible, he is simply just that much more intelligent than the "rest" and that much more determined as well.
...our support for him and each other. It has to be at least part of that equation. God save that man and all those even remotely like him who voted against this bill and for our freedom today.
by inserting that zero reserve requirement clause.
they will be able to loan out unlimited amounts of FRNs with little or no risk to their assets.
also, the gobbling up of small banks will allow the big ones to enjoy this new legal feature,and no other,they are positioning. Notice why morgan stanley immediately shifted to become a bank?
this is,for me, the "immunity" from bankruptcy that the bankers need to pass now--so that they can loan out without fear of losing their assets,while making more or adding to the serfs that are indebted for life.
Time to fight harder-the stakes just got even higher. worldwide,this zero reserve requirement by banks is causing isolation to american trade---and they will further impose this new rule thru your military, your young people. sigh!
With much talk about a "democracy" we forget a very important point: democracies are collectivists regime, and belong to the sphere of thought of socialists and communists.
The US is a republic, not a democracy.
The difference is that in a democracy, the will of the many overrides the will of the few. This is the slippery slope of socialism. In a republic, the will of the many overrides the will of the few to some extent, but not completely, in particular it does not enable a group to wield rights that its constituents themselves don't have.
This is explained in detail on Edward Griffin's website, freedom force.
The struggle in the world today is the latest incarnation of the greatest struggle in human history, that of collectivism vs individualism.
The goals of collectivists are noble in words, but have poor track record and are always hijacked by the few who are supposed to "control" and "enforce" the will of the many.
Individualism is imperfect in theory and in practice, but yields the most freedom for the most people in practice.
Check out Griffin. Then visit http://actiontrigger.no-ip.org/ to see how I plan to use the net to democratize policy based on solid individualism.

All my life I have enjoyed reading the words of our Founders- even the most foreboding and ominous passages- yet I never thought that I would live to see them come to pass.
“No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent.” John Jay
“When more of the people's sustenance is exacted through the form of taxation than is necessary to meet the just obligations of government and expenses of its economical administration, such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the fundamental principles of free government.” Grover Cleveland
"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." Samuel Adams
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson
As Ron Paul admonished the Bailout Bill in Congress, his voice shook as if we was on verge of tears. One saw in this speech a man speaking with the passion of his convictions. If I was speaking in front of these Orwellian leaders, my voice would be shaking, too.
When Ron Paul spoke of a philosophy, he is absolutely right. He could not be President and expect change. It is up to us, as the American people, to bring our government down to earth. We all need to be ambassadors of truth. Let as many people know as possible, and be a part of the change in philosophy.
We need to build political strength and political will.

And lo I could not see the horizon for the sky and earth were thousands of mirrors of each other and their infinite reflections confounded my senses until I thought there were only 2 ways. As I stood dying for lack of a sound mind the fog of Republicratism retreated and upon the horizon stood a boat bathed in golden light and as it neared it shattered the mirrors of sky and earth and I could see my way forward and the name of the boat was the u.s.s. Ron Paul.
