Ron Paul: What if ... the American People Learn the Truth?!

we welcome all TRUTHseekers

_________

(Better) to be confused in the search for truth than fully confident and sound asleep in a dream of lies. ~ Michael Nystrom

“Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it’s realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy" ... ~ Congressman Ron Paul

the public not get this guy? How can he be on show after show after show and neither the media nor the public finally see how smart and how right his ideas are? It's frustrating to read people who still want to blame the Republicans for the mess we're in or blame the Democrats for this ridiculous "stimulus" bill. It's not about Rep or Dem. those arguments are destructive to America. That whole system is corrupt, broken, out of date and frankly a joke. We have to institute term limits ourselves. All we have to do is vote every incumbent out of office every time we vote. No matter who took their place, is there any conceivable way it would be worse than what we have now?

Although there are issues where I disagree with Dr. Paul he is the only honest man in Congress. So I had to support him in the presidential primaries. Too bad there's nobody like him I can vote for in my own district.

I think it is time we stop the nonsense and get on with saving our country. We need major plans, we need organization. We cannot do it with violence because history tells us that is what they want. We need to approach the states that are asking for sovereignty and decide what the next step is. We need to push the others to get to this step. The best method to get something done, as far as I can see, is through the states. Hopefully there are enough people in the states that are not corrupt that we can still work with them. We need to move. We are the last country in the world to be taken under control and every day, with every breath our man at the top takes, we go deeper into communism. They think they have alread succeeded. Have they. What are we going to do about it. It is up to us. We are the ones who are awake. Who knows if any conservatives will join us or not, but the liberals are for communism. Some say our country is lost. Is it? It looks like it to me. If so, we might as well disband this site and make the best of whatever life brings our way.

Perhaps we need to elect a major spokesman and get behind him with people and money and get going. Maybe a board of spokesmen.

We need to totally cut the nonsense. Now.

he gives me hope. so happy to have him on our side. dr. paul, i love you. i really really do.

peace, love, unity ...

This is the one of the best speeches for Constitutional Freedoms in the past 200 years.

I thought this was well done:

http://www.youtube.com/wa...

I heard no reaction whatsoever when he was done.

I am sitting here in awe of the man, yet I have a feeling none of the people he was speaking to were phased in the least.

I was going to say it's a pity, but I think I feel anger more than pity that no one seemed to care.

Also, the part about a draft jumped out at me both times, reading it above and listening to the video.

Can you feel the coming Change? Hope is on it's way!

Thanks to Marc Scibillia for The Hope Anthem!
I had a need to listen to this again because of this speech.

This is the best speech I have ever heard Dr Paul give! It really hits home and I think it could wake ALOT of people up.

"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you."
Thomas Jefferson

* Ron Paul For President *

The best part of his speech,

"What if Christianity actually teaches peace and not preventive wars of aggression?"

If only I could convey that to all the Christian Republicans I have met.

going to frame this speech and hang it on my wall!

.
This is probably the best speech Dr. Paul ever gave. But his colleagues are all bought and paid for by corporate, or other, interests. They may know Paul is dead-on right, but nothing will happen.

If we had congressmen with integrity, this speech would have been unnecessary.

545 PEOPLE (minus 1)
By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, theFederal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.

The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party.

She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red .

If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Charlie Reese is a former columnist of theOrlando Sentinel Newspaper.

What you do with this article now that you have read it.......... Is up to you.

I love that man, because I love to hear "truth"

Should go down in history as a gem.

I love how he used his time on the floor to give a speech which he should be giving as the president.

Brilliant!

a living Founding Father.

Ron Paul is my President, the only one deserving of the title.

that makes me thankful for Dr. Paul. Who else is standing up for peace and humanity at this point? It reminds me of Kiplings "If"

[IF]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

--Rudyard Kipling

This poem reminds me of Dr. Paul and his unfailing determination.
He is pleading for the American people to wake up and even more, to GROW UP!

For those of you who have german relatives, the speech has been translated by one of the german Paulites:

"Pott" has nothing to do with drugs, but is colloquial german for the Ruhr Area (so it is "Ruhr Area for Ron Paul").

„Ich habe ein paar Fragen an meine Kollegen:

Was wäre, wenn unsere Außenpolitik des vergangenen Jahrhunderts zutiefst fehlerhaft ist und nicht unseren nationalen Sicherheitsinteressen gedient hat?

Was wäre, wenn wir eines Tages aufwachen und erkennen, dass die Terrorbedrohung eine vorhersehbare Konsequenz der Einmischung in die Angelegenheiten Anderer zu tun hat und nicht mit unserem Wohlstand und unserer Freiheit?

Was wäre, wenn die Unterstützung repressiver Regime im Mittleren Osten sowohl die Vereinigten Staaten als auch Israel in Gefahr bringt?

Was wäre, wenn die Besatzung von Ländern wie dem Irak, Afghanistan und Pakistan in direkter Beziehung zum Hass gegen uns steht?

Was wäre, wenn uns eines Tages aufgeht, dass der Verlust von über 5000 amerikanischen Militärs im Mittleren Osten seit dem 11. September 2001 kein fairer Ausgleich für den Verlust von nahezu 3000 amerikanischer Zivilisten ist, gleichgültig wie viele Iraker, Pakistanis und Afghanen getötet oder vertrieben wurden?

Was wäre, wenn wir schlussendlich feststellen, dass Folter, ganz gleich ob wir es „verbesserte Vernehmungstechnik“ nennen, selbstzerstörerisch ist, keine brauchbaren Informationen bringt und dass es schlimm ist diese „Technik“ an Dritte Welt Länder weiterzugeben?

Was wäre, wenn endlich begriffen wird, dass Krieg und Militärausgaben immer zerstörerisch für die Wirtschaft sind?

Was wäre, wenn alle Zeit Kriegskosten durch die trügerischen und schlimmen Prozesse der Inflation und Schuldenaufnahme bezahlt würden?

Was wäre, wenn wir endlich sehen, dass die Umstände in Kriegszeiten immer die persönliche Freiheit minimieren?

Was wäre, wenn Konservative, die für eine abgespeckte Regierung plädieren, aufwachen und feststellen, dass unsere interventionistische Außenpolitik den größten Anreiz unterstützt, die Regierung auszuweiten?

Was, wenn diese Konservativen dazu noch verstehen, dass ihre einzig logische Position wäre, die militärischen Interventionen und die Verwaltung eines Weltimperiums zu verwerfen?

Was wäre, wenn amerikanische Landsleute aufwachen und verstehen, dass die offiziellen Gründe eines Kriegseintritts immer auf Lügen und geförderter Kriegspropaganda basieren um speziellen Interessengruppen zu dienen?

Was, wenn wir als Nation realisieren, dass das Bestreben für ein Imperium möglicherweise alle großen Nationen zerstört?

Was wäre, wenn Obama überhaupt keine Absicht hat, den Irak zu verlassen?

Was wäre, wenn die Wehrpflicht eingeführt wird während sich ausbreitender Kriege, falls sich unsere Außenpolitik nicht verändert?

Was wäre, wenn die amerikanischen Landleute die Wahrheit erkennen, dass unsere Außenpolitik nichts mit unserer nationalen Sicherheit zu tun hat und dass sie sich niemals bei einem Regierungswechsel ändern wird?

Was wäre, wenn Krieg und Kriegsvorbereitung eine Gaunerei ist, um speziellen Interessengruppen zu dienen?

Was wäre, wenn Präsident Obama im Fall Afghanistan total falsch liegt und es schlimmer kommt als in Irak und Vietnam zusammen?

Was wäre, wenn das Christentum wirklich Frieden lehren würde statt vorbeugender Aggressionskriege?

Was wäre, wenn Diplomatie den Bomben und Schmiergeldern überlegen wäre um Amerika zu beschützen?

Was passiert, wenn meine Bedenken absolut unbegründet sind?
Nichts.

Aber was passiert, wenn meine Bedenken begründet sind und ignoriert werden?
Nichts Gutes.“
