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-i... to see how I plan to use the net to democratize policy based on solid individualism.
"If you repeat a message OVER and OVER Again...The People WILL Begin To Believe It." How many times in your years have you heard the WORDS "OUR Democracy" Used? Many people are still brainwashed...Is all that It can be.
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.
As if they were willing to tear the moldy rotting structure down brick by brick before it fell on them.
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.
The only security for freedom is security through freedom.
I was doing a little fishing and thought I'd check Nancy Pelosi's financial disclosure statements. Very Interesting... Can anyone say A.I.G.?
Banks? Etc. Might not hurt to check on all our non-representatives.
Looking back now, it's pretty obvious that our trust in government declined at about the same rate as our partisanship increased. People became so concerned about getting their party into power at any cost that the truth didn't even seem to matter anymore.
That's probably one of the reasons why George Washington hated the idea of political parties so much. Here's what he said about them in his 1796 farewell speech:
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty."
I know that George had a habit for using big words, so allow me to translate into 2008 English: Political parties that put their own success over that of the country's will be the death of America.
Either the majority of congress is just truly ignorant, with no regard for their obligation to the people who elected them or they cannot or do not do anything but what is told to them via the party pipeline. You cannot help those who will not hear. Perhaps democracy doesn't work. The arm twisting, brow beating, guilt lashing mouthed in the most vapid excuses to ensure a bailout vote for this monstrous albeit transparently concocted renegade bill is embarrassing to all who can read it. Even the race card was played to let people know that they hurt more, therefore you must vote for it...Oh please!!!!!
The senate on the other hand was so lofty with their backslapping praise of each other (with the exception of the idealists who think they can make a difference) leads one to beg the question.... Surely these people should be considered redundant??????? OMG, I'm sorry for the rant but this makes one puke! yuuuuuuuch! .... and don't mollify me senators and reps with "hold your nose" and vote for it anyway... I never heard such tripe! Are they so completely illiterate or just plain stupid that they cannot reason what Dr. Paul is desperately trying to tell them.
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the Country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war"

Dr. Paul has warned them many times, this being the latest and again they dismissed him. In my opinion, they will "reap what they sowed". Additionally, I just received an email alert from Dr. Paul requesting support for B.J. Lawson who needs $250,000. I went to B.J.'s site and he had already received (through money bomb) about $220,000. This is outstanding and shows that when the good Doc speaks, WE listen.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
IF NOT, THE VERY WORD FREEDOM WILL BE SOMETHING OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WILL REFER TO AS JUST A WORD USED IN ANOTHER FALLEN SOCIETAL EXPERIMENT CALLED THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Dr Paul is my favorite politician. It is because of Dr. Paul that I understand economy better than before. Its because of Dr. Paul that I proudly identify myself with the school of Austrian Economics.
It is so sad that America has become a strong example of organized political corruption. It is because of this corruption that the value of the dollar is getting destroyed. This is not only very dangerous for Americans in the long run but also very scary for the rest of the world in the short term. So many people have invested and lent money to Americans and so many countries hold so many dollars in reserves and so many commodities especially oil are traded in dollars. If dollar is not saved from destruction, a global economic panic will erupt and America will fall into a decade long depression. Of course, the rest of the world needs to get off the dollar as quickly as possible (Unfortunately for Americans, it will guarantee the demise of dollar).
All I can say, good luck to Americans and god bless Ron Paul.
I just heard how Frank and Pelosi are beaming with pride, patting themselves on the back. Congratulations!!! You democrats just gave Bush whatever he asked for AGAIN!!!. I thought we gave you Congress to stop him. Seriously ... a do nothing congress
Only time you guys are bipartisan is when you could spend more of our money. UGGGGGGHHHH!!!. What country should I move to? Any suggestions?
It's one thing to side with President Bush... it's another thing to side with President Bush when the people are against him 40 to 1.
An author on LewRockwell made the point the other day that the safest political move today, and for the past two years, has been to oppose the President on any issue. Put yourself on the opposite side of the president, and you're golden. Yet, McCain, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc all put themselves on the side of the president?!
As far as country... hmm...
It costs too much to move to Switzerland. Plus, you'd have to live in that European nightmare... reminds me of a bumper sticker referring to the European Union: The New Europe... reminding you why your grandparents left the old one.
Canada and Israel are pretty socialist.
Australia's water turns the wrong way in the toilet.
North Korea is too close to them friggin' Ruskies.
Africa is more dependent on FRNs than we are here.
Latin America has the scary brown people.
Iran is about to be bombed
This leaves China, Saudi Arabia, and Japan.
Maybe we could convince the Saudi's to back their currency with oil?
Communist China has more respect for capitalism.
Japan has a lot of cool gadgets.
New Zeland has sheep.
If Ron Paul were running as an independent or as a 3rd party, he'd be leading in the polls right now.
Those two schmucks aren't saying anythign about the problem, and here he is giving us some REAL straight talk.
Anyone else feel that RP gave up a great shot at a win here?
McCain supported this bill from the beginning. RP opposed it it starting 30 years ago. We the People were against it almost 40 to 1, in some districts. Could this single issue have been enough to get a majority of that 40 on our side? Could this have been a landslide for RP?
I've felt that the Ron Paul campaign has been weak all along. Ron Paul is a once in a lifetime champion of responsible government. His campaign staff simply wasn't up to the task. They left too much up to the unorganized grassroot folks, who were doing all they could, but couldn't knock down the stonewalls of the GOP. Now look where we're at. These stooges just passed a hugely unpopular bailout bill that almost every American resents. The only people for the proposal are the politicians, and bankers, and Wall St. cheerleaders. Ron Paul could have really made some hay here. Instead, he remains the one lone wolf who can't change a single outcome. I hate to see such an opportunity be conceeded to the sorry group we have in power.
