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.

Ron Paul

So the time line of when we consider a fetus 'human' is arbitrary after conception.
Ron Paul

Could America exist without an income tax? The idea seems radical, yet in truth America did just fine without a federal income tax for the first 126 years of her history.
Ron Paul

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.
Ron Paul

It's not like I'm just trying to win and get elected. I'm trying to change the course of history.
Ron Paul

By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so called 'diversity' actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist.
Ron Paul
Image
I want to be president mainly for what I don't want to do: I don't want to run your life, I don't want to run the economy, and I don't want to police the world.
Ron Paul

Once created, federal programs are nearly impossible to eliminate.

I would say nobody is perfect. I don't know all the answers. I have don't want to run people's lives and run the world and run the economy. So, my qualifications are a little bit different.
