Reuters: Ron Paul strikes Gold

"Never underestimate Ron Paul."

They so change the very fabric of this country that Paul can't marshal his colleagues to his side.

His colleagues (and their predecessors) are mercenary sell-outs - those responsilble for the loss of the gold standard, establishing an income tax, and creating the Fed.

These were never meant to be the fabric of our society.

"The Fed's responsibilities have matured, but its personality has not. It is still the gifted child that can do whatever it wants—and its parents are still so in awe of its intelligence that they don't ask any questions."

Well if that lovely gifted child sets his room ablaze with his chemistry set, it may be time for the parents to do some auditing.

But he just can't figure out why. This article read like a term paper written the night before it was due with no research material but a matchbook and tv commercial.

I am receiving really old bills when I purchase for cash. They are old and all beat up. There must be a reason there is no new issuance from the Treasury. What are you experiencing in your areas???????????

Misleading, not factual, hard to follow, wrong, stupid, and boring.

deserve a bump

Thanks to whoever fixed my post.

The article says, "Ron Paul's legislative history is a lesson in principled failure. Among the bills he has co-sponsored: ending U.S. cooperation with the United Nations, a repeal of antitrust law "to restore the inherent benefits of the market economy," and stripping the government of the right to set a minimum wage."

The author is confusing rights with powers. Rights are inherent, and so cannot be stripped by anyone from anyone. Rights are also reserved to the people. Governments cannot have rights, only powers, which are granted to them by the people. The sentence should have read. "... and stripping the government of the power to set a minimum wage."

Contradicts himself, first he says that Dr Pauls efforts to dismantle the FED is a non-starter, then says he's struck gold by rallying the majority of the house to audit the FED, which should consequently dimantle the FED. Where do these people learn the doublespeak, talking out both sides of their mouths. I find it terribly irritating. Check in the hit piece box.
It's people like this and the people that reads this crap and are influenced to inaction that creates this mess this country is in. When we reestablish this republic lets promise to dump these scum into the ocean packing a bag full of Diebolds.

The only merit this article does to Ron Paul’s audit the FED bill, is that it recognizes Ron Paul’s excess of principle in never giving up in exposing a corrupt institution like the FED.

This article is nothing more than a hit piece on Ron Paul’s quest for transparency from a secretive federal reserve, not only does it call Ron Paul a “radical” for following the constitution, but the author tries to implied that “His vendetta is fueled by the belief that the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, a central bank within a country that doesn't allow central banks.” As if it were some sort of secret belief that the FED is unconstitutional, because the fact remains that it is unconstitutional.

I hope this article makes people investigate the FED and the reason why Ron Paul is sponsoring H.R. 1207, the article’s title should be (Ron Paul strikes a nerve with the FED).

screw the condescending tone of this article. Writers purposely write this way to irritate us.

I would love to see a neo-con and far lefty go on the show and actually debate an issue like HR 1207. Paul made a good point about the difference in MSM American media versus outside the US. He mentioned the journalism here is a shouting match where you couldnt explain your point.

Bill O and Paul exchange comes to mind.

Orielly and Paul comes to mind.

That douchebag on MSNBC comes to mind.

If the Judge controlled the show, the debate would actually occur instead of shouting matches.

Really good point...

Thanks for the link

Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."

Well, I guess he called that one.

Witty and well written article. Recognizes the formidable force Dr. Paul has managed to assemble.

The article states that the problem with making the Fed more accountable is that the agency will becomes more a part of the government than it already is and that the Fed isn't supposed to be a part of the government.

WRONG! Although it was created to be public/private, the problem with it is it is a private monopoly. The only part of it theoretically that is public is the Board of Governors, but that's a joke. The prez selects from a list of candidates that secretly are hand selected by private bankers.

Another stand-up comedian who pretends to be a journalist.

I also noticed this:
"Help Fight Global Warming
Join Reuters Cause on Facebook"

I sent Reuters an email referencing the above article. I asked them if they know what banks and foreign countries the Fed is sending money to and what that money is being used for. In any case, hopefully they will investigate and let the rest of us know. One of the golden rules says "those with the gold rules". The US Congress should be in control of our money supply.

The word, "enemy", in the title got me because I don't like that term being tossed about in describing Ron Paul to Obama. Ron Paul is NOT Obama's enemy. They may have opposing views on issues, however, that opposition is friendly. Ron Paul is not an avowed enemy. Those are very powerful and dangerous words in these times of terrorism advancing the governments sensitivity to opposition of principle in politics.

The last paragraph is the article:

But something has to give. Paul's Gang of 244 is fed up. They're ready to kill something. It will probably be Obama's regulatory plan. Then again, with Paul leading the charge you never know. It may be something central, something federal, something reserved. Never underestimate Ron Paul. Even if there's no reason not to.

Disturbs me greatly, as I don't appreciate this perspective. The third sentance is NOT TRUE! We are ANTI-WAR/ ANTI-Violence and our approach to opposition with Obama is peaceful dissent, as MLK, Mother Teresa, Ghandi.... of which the third sentance does not apply either.

"But if he makes the Fed more accountable, the agency becomes even more a part of the government than it already is. This would be fine, except for the fact that the Fed isn't supposed to be a part of the government. So there's that."

not bad

that Bernanke looks nervous..or worried the last few times he has been before congress. He does not appear confident and he attempts to side-step questions by not giving any specifics or details. He looks like a kid that has been caught lying...but still refuses to come clean. Yep....I expect the power players will attempt to squash 1207...and that will look even more suspicious.

I think we may be in for a show-down in the classic David v.s. Goliath mode. RP and his army against the FED! We are headed into the belly of the beast. I hope RP is checking his security...I am concerned...the beast plays tough.

Good find...thanks for posting it up.

"Um...no , I do not believe it is in the best interest of my district to audit the Fed and report to them where their tax dollars are going".

Loved it. Reuters is my #1 news source.

Paul wants to audit the Fed primarily because he wants to destroy it; the audit bill is just the latest chapter in Paul's lifelong crusade against it. His vendetta is fueled by the belief that the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, a central bank within a country that doesn't allow central banks. That the Fed can manipulate the currency and "create legal tender out of thin air" is heresy. And so Paul attempts to dismantle it the only way he can: through legislation.

Ron Paul, My President, Is A Truthful Politician!

Believe It !!

How a completely unaccountable instituion like the federal reserve can exist in a free society.

Remember, Reuters isn't the DailyPaul, folks! Just to make my point,
I'll admit that i find Freedom Watch boring because of the lack of differing opinion and debate. It's wonderful---but it doesn't make for compelling media.
