Ron Paul Keynote at the JBS 50th Anniversary Celebration - [video]

OMFG, are you kidding me? Mr. Welch is probably rolling in his grave knowing that a modern hero doesn't know who Mr. Welch is. I think he meant MR. MCMANUS.

a sense of peace. I am almost addicted to listening to him. When I am not listening to him these days, I am usually in a horrible place, if I am listening or reading anything about what is going on. I get away from it, then I wonder what's happening and ugh!

The empire is coming to an end. We have to be ready to restore the Republic or we'll have something far worse in its place. The total collapse of a corrupt system doesn't happen every day. We have to be prepared to take full advantage of it. This really is a great opportunity.

Is it too much to ask Ron Paul to give a 20-30 min. State of the Republic address once a month? These really put things in perspective for me.

"I killed the banks"

great speech! It was a little long, but good!

I like it.

Just when I thought I'd heard everything Dr. Paul had to say (from all his past speeches), he still pulls more and more gems out of his bag!

What a great man and statesman.

We who have followed him should realize how lucky (or smart!) we are to endorse such a philosopher.

Most of the country is MISSING OUT.

Keep blindly hanging on to "American Idol" or "Dancing with the Stars."

I am not sure how to link to this at the actual JBS site, so I will point you to it in two other ways. First, when I finished watching the Ron Paul keynote speech, I noticed a small box advertising the Chuck Baldwin speech, so you can check it out that way. Second, I went ahead an embedded it on my tumblelog if you want to go there and check it out.

edit: Ooops. I just saw how to get the direct link to viddler. There's a third option.

Either way, I think it is worth watching, particularly for Christians, as his specific topic was "Christians and the Freedom Fight." He makes ones interesting comment early on that I would like to quote here:

It’s amazing to me how naïve and gullible professing Christians have allowed themselves to become. I would dare say that had Al Gore or John Kerry done half of the things that George W. Bush has done since he’s been elected President that the religious right and my fellow Christian conservatives would be up in arms. And yet they will look the other way because the man professes to be a born-again Christian.

I think that is often the case. I happened across a Web page called something like "Pray for Bush," which I think is a wonderful and necessary act. However, once there it became clear quickly that it was more of a Bush lovefest than a site devoted to serious prayer for the man and the position he occupies. The defensive stature taken was off-putting and offensive. Anyways, for those of you who are not Christian, obviously, this means less to you. Still, know that not all Christians are the same. : )

Enjoy the flick and if anyone here thinks it should be put up at Daily Paul and knows how, go for it. I just wanted people to see it who might be interested and seeing as how Baldwin has earned Dr. Paul's respect, I figured some people around here might be interested.

After being reminded of the factors involved with group motivation while looking into the "action trigger" concept and thinking back to my own studies in group dynamics, etc., one of Dr. Paul's comments made even more sense then it had previously.

We spoke of the role of local government in a true Republic. Not only is this part of the definition of a true Republic, but think of how NOT having more potent local governments affects citizen morale and motivation. That is, people do nothing, in large part because they feel like it won't make a difference.

Can you imagine if the bulk of your laws and the majority of things that bound you and affected you as a citizen were to be found at the local level, where you could actually see the change your votes and activism made? Think of how empowered the people would be and how active they would become. As it is, even if they think they can change something at the local level, the overarching central government makes so much of the local law moot.

If only the federal government would get back to protecting our liberties so that the local government could get on with legislating by the people, for the people. Putting the power back into the hands of the local leaders doe snot mean there will not still be debate about the issue or that everything will be smooth. It means that the debates will be between the people standing in civic buildings, church fellowship halls, the Elks Lodge, and other meeting areas. It means that the people debating will be family and friends, shop keepers and consumers, people with whom you live and people you know. Such things would not be set off in some far off district where "representatives" do just about anything except represent.

Anyways, sorry for the rant. I just can't help but think that I don't want government to solve my problems. I want them to protect my rights to solve my own problems within my community.

If that doesn't choke you up, I don't know what will.

He always does better when he's either angry or relaxed, but has had trouble when he's frustrated.

Sure makes a nice contrast to what little I've heard of the "debates."

IMissLiberty

no teleprompter necessary
that alone makes it outstanding
especially in relation to the stumbling buffoons last night

thanks for sharing

He is so smart and so dedicated. Don't you wish there were a magic wand we could wave over his head to duplicate him?

LOL....I needed to see his good mood. Mine has been so gloomy!

I wish we had a guy like Ron Paul in italy too!
Actually we had one his name was Falcone, he started the "Clean Hands" crackdown operation on corruption.
They exploded him with a car bomb.

Protect Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!

I cannot say enough about this man... other than my signature quote below. He reminds us each time he speaks that there is still honor and integrity and greatness in the world.

I've been waiting to hear this speech for a while. How the heck does he get up there without any teleprompter and give such a great talk off the cuff? He mentioned the speech just before his from Mr. Welch so he's obviously coming up with this material on the fly. That is a very difficult thing to do and still maintain a coherent thread. He's sharper at 72 than most of his contemporaries who are even half his age.

video not working.....

encourage support for HR 2755; Ron Paul's end the Fed bill

Dr. Know makes Arnold Schwarzenegger look like a wimp. When he started talking , he was in such a good mood (great to see), but by the end he was dead serious again... When he was talking about the philosophy of liberty and said that he was absolutely certain that it was right, man, so much conviction. This movement has restored my faith in human nature. I want to be like Ron Paul.

"Better to be flexible like bamboo than rigid like oak, for when the storm comes bamboo will bend and survive, where as oak will crack and die."

Too bad most people were wearing "sunglasses" during the primaries :-(

I am inspired when I hear Ron speak, but at the same time frustrated that we are being "dealt" our next President by the chess masters of modern politics and economics.

what a magnificent man the doc is. i just truly love this man!

and this quote is now another of my favorites!

"People who carry a revolution are small in numbers, they're dedicated, they're principled, they understand. It might be 5% of the population, and I believe we're there. Because the people that supported our campaign this last year and a half, they were visible, they were more visible than all the other candidates put together. Because they were true believers."

Ron Paul is My President

to Baldwin's speech?

"People who carry a revolution are small in numbers, they're dedicated, they're principled, they understand. It might be 5% of the population, and I believe we're there.

Ron Paul's Convention Speech

who are for liberty be in the JBS? Where are the black people? Are they there? JBS is Christian, right? So I guess that would alienate non-Christians, but black people are largely Christian.

I knew this the moment I heard about it years ago. I must be more intelligent than most!! :)
