Quote

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?

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.
Ron Paul

If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be.
Ron Paul
Image
I do not have much confidence in the political system and never did. My goal has always been to change people's minds because as long as people demand more government, they will get it.
Ron Paul
Image
I have never been one who is comfortable talking about my faith in the political arena. In fact, the pandering that typically occurs in the election season I find to be distasteful. But for those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do.

You know, the greatest hoax I think that has been around in many, many years if not hundreds of years has been this hoax on the environment and global warming. You notice they don't call it global warming anymore. It's weather control.

The American people are sick and tired of Washington and the people who have been in charge have been passing all these bills and I've been voting no all of the time and vote no on these appropriation bills.

In wartime, people willing to sacrifice liberty for security.

If people won't spend any money, the government has this moral obligation to do it.

I would say that I'm pretty mainstream.

Times of tragedy and war naturally bring out strong emotions... Sometimes people are only too anxious to sacrifice their constitutional liberties during a crisis, hoping to gain some measure of security. Yet nothing would please terrorists more than if we willingly gave up our cherished liberties because of their actions.

In the American political lexicon, 'change' always means more of the same: more government, more looting of Americans, more inflation, more police-state measures, more unnecessary war, and more centralization of power.

If you can’t protect life, then how can you protect liberty?
Ron Paul
Image
There was a time when a willingness to criticize one's own government when it was wrong was the very definition of patriotism.
Ron Paul
Image
If you ever can bring about revolutionary changes, two things would be required: young people would have to be involved and you would need music.
Ron Paul

Let the revolution begin.

When it comes to the environment and global warming from emissions, it has to be dealt with in one of two ways - preemptive regulations, which I don't agree with, or with private property principles. Nobody has the right to pollute their neighbors' air or water or land.
Ron Paul

We need a smaller and elite military, as [Donald]Rumsfeld said - and also a smaller and elite foreign policy.
Ron Paul
Image
We must educate ourselves and others about our precious civil liberties to ensure that we never accept demands that we give up our Constitution so that the government can pretend to protect us.
Ron Paul
Image
It is incumbent on a great nation to remain confident, if it wishes to remain free. We need not be ignorant to real threats to our safety, against which we must remain vigilant. We need only to banish to the ash heap of history the notion that we ought to be ruled by our fears and those who use them to enhance their own power.
