Ron Paul On CNN American Morning April 21, 2009
Submitted by qwerty1 on Tue, 04/21/2009 - 07:52
Please take the time today to tell at least one friend about Dr. Paul, his message, why you support him, and why our country needs him now more than ever. This is a grassroots campaign. We are the grass and we are the roots. The other candidates may have more money, but Dr. Paul has something that no amount of money can buy: He has us. He has our trust, our belief, our support and our love. Let us not let Dr. Paul, nor our country down.

I sometimes wonder why Dr. Paul doesn't also try to run his own show as well. Iknow he is busy and 73, but if he partnered with a comedy central news* show as a "regular senior analyst" or a counter effect to each one of their guests it would be great.( I understand that it is more complicated than that... I just exposed a fleeting though while watching video.)
Here was a GREAT comment...
Dr. Paul said: "If a gangster is successful after his crime, should we celebrate?"
...referring to when she mentioned that since the banks are turning a profit now, the bailouts must be working.
Since Paulson and the banksters got away with the biggest heist in the history of man, it only stands to reason that they have money coming out of their ears now.
I guess we should be dancing in the streets.
How much more stupid can CNN reporters be???
They just don't have the brains to ask Ron Paul questions. Utterly amazing.

Ron Paul looked great, spoke with ease and confidence and although questions were asked with skepticism he was given a fair amount of time to answer and explain himself. Great interview - he seems optimistic about changes among Americans
I Don't understand You tube Views.....Can someone tell me how
ON many Vids I will see how many views a You tube has and it is different depending on where you view it from.....why is this? The reason I do this is to see the impact that Ron Paul is having out in the media marketplace.
For instance.... on this Vid of Ron on CNN....if you access it via dailypaul it shows something like 1700 views yet if you go to lewrockwell.com and access it ....the views number only 437 views! Aren't the numbers tabulated in total?
Of course Dr Paul was a standout especially about bank robbers doing well and how we wouldn't applaud that.
The reason probably is...
The most plausible reason for this is that there are several versions of the same video on youtube. It seems that two people have uploaded the same clip, and the different sites links to different versions.

Another is that youtube has
Another is that youtube has a lot of servers and they don't update the view counts among themselves in real time.
You are seeing a count that is something like the common total count as of some time in the past when your server handshook with the file service maintaining that count plus the count of downloads from just your server since that time.

Natural Leadership
"It is a secret force of superiority not to have to get on by artful trickery but by an inborn power of rule. All submit to it without knowing why, recognizing the secret vigor of natural authority. Such magisterial spirits are kings by merit and lions by innate privilege. By the esteem that they inspire, they hold the hearts and minds of those around them. If their other qualities permit, such people are born to be prime movers of the state. They perform more by a gesture than others by a long harangue

Well...
The comments on CNN's site are not too favorable. Of course they have no backing to their arguments of, "Where was Ron Paul when Bush was acting up?" We all know the answer to that, but CNN's crowd of sheeple don't seem to know the answer.

There are just insanely pissed off that Dr. Paul nailed their Obamanator's ass to the wall and called his economic policies on the carpet for the fraudulant and thieving garbage it is, the sedition topic is the only psychobabble ranting bullshit payback they can come up with ... pathetic cockroaches they are.
This was awesome

I'm too cynical!
I've never heard anyone in all the discussion on this subject say this, but I think the elite are pushing Texas seccession on purpose. I think they want Texas isolated and separate for a reason, perhaps so they can finally implement the Trans-Texas Corridor or, worse, ignite another War Between the States to give them a reason to send the dissenters to camps or establish martial law in the nation.
Haven't you heard that Gov. Perry has been seen at the Bilderberg meetings and that they are grooming him for POTUS? Why would their guy suddenly start acting like one of us? He's up to something. Maybe he feels he couldn't win the U.S. presidency so at least he could become president of Texas! Anyhow, be afraid. Be very afraid of this man.
I agree with you 100 %
I agree
Perry is pro amnesty, pro Trans-Texas Corridor and based on this one would come to the conclusion that he is anti US Constitution.
But if and when Texas secedes he would not have to worry about that piece of paper any longer, would he?
I absolutely do not trust him and also wonder what he's up to.
My guess is he's up to no good.
Dr. Paul is talking about a natural
breakup of the Union as the government fails to keep its promises.
The principle of secession is an important talking point, to get people to think outside the matrix, begin to think about taking back local power, and realize the government needs to be kept in its limited sphere of constitutional authority so it won't continually flounder ham-fistedly in our private lives and in our private economic spheres.
He's scared Kay Bailey Hutchison will beat him in the 2010
Governor's race. That's what all this is about. He probably thinks the Bilderbergers are partial to her over him. He's obviously feeling desperate, so he's trying to appeal to the rather large constituency of Texans who have always been more loyal to Texas than to the United States. In Texas, it's not at all uncommon to see the Texas flag ONLY flying high on the flagpoles on people's property.
States have the right
Every State has the right to secede from the United States. Whether or not they choose to do it is another matter.

West Virginia seceded in
West Virginia seceded in 1863.
That settles it! The civil war settled the issue for us.
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for James Madison.
I don't know if anyone else notices this.
While I don't watch this morning news show ( or any for that matter since I'm at work ), I notice that with most if not all of Dr. Paul's interviews they will place that "sidebar" with other upcoming stories while he is speaking. It's very distracting and it's clearly done on purpose. It pops out as soon as he says " People are angry..." around the 2:29 mark.
this is true...
and the sidebar is distracting but, if enough people can eventually understand what they are doing and get past that premeditated distraction we might just be OK...i hope so...

Ron Paul Makes Me Laugh
Honestly, he cracks me up
I mean I love his message, for sure
but when news anchors say:
"the fed injected money, it seems to be working"
RP "that's like giving heroin to a heroin addict, he's better for a while but comes back more sick"
"bailout seems to be workign, shouldn't we be happy"
RP "so if a gangster gets succesful with money he stole should we be happy"
or in Meet the press when he said, it's like falling in a snake pit, who's to blame the snakes or the one falling or jumping into the pit
Ron Paul is funny, they think they bringing good points but he's like "I could do this all day"
BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yup, gotta love it. They
Yup, gotta love it. They just can't trick him.
Is Ron Paul brilliant, or what?
...i mean, day in and day out he continues to squarely hit the nail on the head concerning everyday Americans...
"if gangsters steal money and are successful we don't celebrate"...brilliant!...this is spoken in a way that anybody can understand and, even though the talking bubblehead wanted to spin some sort of early success to the bank bailout, he put it right into perspective!
...as far as Texas is concerned, and secession, brillant again! Sure, we all know that as of today, Texas is not actively pushing for secession from the union. But the very "threat" of secession by Texas is absolutely real and needs to be valued and understood by those in power in the federal government as an alternative for Texas if "they" become too intrusive in the lives of Texans.
O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!
O Captain! My Captain! Rise up and hear the bells!
Dr. Paul got one thing quite wrong
The U.S. colonies did not secede from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was a move toward separation, but the Brits would have none of it. It took a war for the colonies to extricate themselves from the Crown from 1774-1789, and again in 1812-1814. It was never, ever secession. It was a hard-fought war of Independence.
Huh? So if Texas declared
Huh? So if Texas declared independence and then had to fight a war to gain it, it wouldn't be considered seceding?
You are correct
But there was nothing abut secession in the Declaration, and the colonies were always under England's boot by force, so secession wasn't even an option. It was revolution or nothing.
you say tomatoe...
i say tomato...who is right?
...what is, after all, "a move toward separation"?...could that be called secession?
O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!
O Captain! My Captain! Rise up and hear the bells!
OK, let's agree to disagree
The colonies were never really a part of Britain. They were occupied territories. It's not like they were peacefully part of the Empire and then decided to break free. Nobody was ever free in colonial America. Secession simply wasn't possible. It took a couple of wars to get the Brits out for good.
Sorry bud but you are WAY
Sorry bud but you are WAY off base in your statements here and they need to be corrected. The 13 colonies were very much a peaceful and prosperous part of the British Empire and paid taxes just like their counterparts in England. Their legal and governmental systems were all British and the courts and legislative bodies proudly hung the Union Jack.
So, the War of Independence was VERY much a war of secession as it sought to "dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another." The Declaration of Independence is the greatest affirmation of the right of secession ever written as it states in conclusion:
"That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved..."
So, my friend, Dr Paul is absolutely right. I highly recommend you read Rothbard's great work on the colonial period of America, Conceived In Liberty.

Ron Paul at Wake Forest
I was privileged to be one of the 23 hundred people to get to see Dr. Paul speak at Wake Forest yesterday. He actually spoke about this for about ten minutes and described why Texas should have every right to talk openly about that scenario. This issue is about the State’s right to decide how they should be governed. I don’t think most citizens of the great state of Texas want to shut down ties to the US. We are the United States, not the United State.
CASHLESS SOCIETY
I really think the greater plan of the banking elite is to control the masses through some kind of credit score based system without coin or cash. The END THE FED movement is the FED's opportunity to operate in the cashless credit score based system. Any comments to this post dollar thinking?
Uh-oh
'Hope you're wrong. But if this is indeed the case, it will pressure society to be more self-reliant and American Indian-like: foraging, bartering, doing without. Following the advice of naturalists like Eustace Conway, aka "The Last American Man." Which may have positive consequences.
Fortunately, Ron Paul
Fortunately, Ron Paul doesn´t set a date for the dollar collapse. Contrarily to some "gurus"
Okay Interview
For me it's fine because I understand what RP has to say, but not for others who don't know RP.
You know he speaks, sometimes the most important thing he says, it's like he says it really fast and then cuts off his last syllable of the last word and starts saying something else.
He has been doing this for over a year now. lol
It's okay for me because i know what he wants to convey, but the general audience does not know.
Btw, the dude below me saying he is dissapointed in RP saying no one is serious about succession needs to understand.
On CNN his secession video was there and people were commenting saying that Ron Paul should die, 90% of commetns were saying RP should die and Texas could go F#% themselves and go away forever.
You have no idea how much ignorance was infesting the comments area.
Have a nice day ya'll!
At some point people catch
At some point people catch on to one point or another that resonates with them. If they don't understand the entirety of his positions, with any intelligence they will be drawn to research his positions further. I think he does a great job of throwing interesting and thought provoking nuggets out there. If that doesn't reel people in they are likely brain dead. My small criticism is that I wish he wouldn't stammer so much. He didn't seem to do that in this particular interview.
I think the general audience DOES understand
Despite RP's imperfect delivery. That's why the demand for him on TV increases, and why his following gets bigger all the time.
i agree with you, I2...
and I think it is amazing that he is in such demand every day...through Ron Paul and his help in our "awakening", We, the people will be not just heard, but also, very seriously listened to or there will be hell to pay...
O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!
O Captain! My Captain! Rise up and hear the bells!
DIGG IT!

"I don't think it's very serious"
I am disappointed with the way he started this. It seems to me that any talk of secession is serious, and to say "I don't think anybody called for it" also downplays the importance of this topic. I really wish he had turned this right back and said "How serious is the lack of accountability in our government?" I DO appreciate that he sticks up for the principle.
