There is only one kind of freedom and that's individual liberty. Our lives come from our creator and our liberty comes from our creator. It has nothing to do with government granting it.

More quotes by Ron Paul

Politicians throughout history have tried to solve every problem conceivable to man, always failing to recognize that many of the problems we face result from previous so-called political solutions. Government cannot be the answer to every human ill. Continuing to view more government as the solution to problems will only make matters worse.

Some members of Congress will claim that the federal government needs the power to monitor Americans in order to allow the government to operate more efficiently. I would remind my colleagues that, in a constitutional republic, the people are never asked to sacrifice their liberties to make the jobs of government officials easier.

In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.

If Iran invaded Israel, it's up to Congress to declare war.

One thing is clear: The Founding Fathers never intended a nation where citizens would pay nearly half of everything they earn to the government.

We must remember, elections are short-term efforts. Revolutions are long-term projects.
Ron Paul

The Fourth Amendment is clear we should be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, and all warrants must have probable cause. Today the government operates largely in secret, while seeking to know everything about our private lives - without probable cause and without a warrant.

If we are not even free anymore to decide something as basic as what we wish to eat or drink, how much freedom do we really have left?
Ron Paul
Image
Of course I've already taken a very modest position on the monetary system, I do take the position that we should just end the Fed.

Reject the phony Patients' Bill of Rights....We don't have to continue down the path of socialized medical care, especially in America where free markets have provided so much for so many.
Ron Paul
Image
We have a greater responsibility to act than those who live in ignorance. Once you become knowledgeable, you have an obligation to do something about it.
Ron Paul
Image
When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us, we, in essence, accept that the state owns our bodies.
Ron Paul

Let the revolution begin.

Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense.
Ron Paul
Image
...[the federal] government [has no authority] to deliver a service,...and there's no evidence to show that government has ever been efficient [at] delivering...service.

Maybe we ought to consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy: Don't do to other nations what we don't want happening to us. We endlessly bomb these countries and then we wonder why they get upset with us?
Ron Paul

Because federal hate crime laws criminalize thoughts, they are incompatible with a free society.
Ron Paul
Image
The problem is that democracy is not freedom. Democracy is simply majoritarianism, which is inherently incompatible with real freedom. Our founding fathers clearly understood this.

This much is true: you have been lied to.

I wouldn't vote against getting rid of the Jim Crow laws.
