Quote

Under the United States Constitution, the federal government has no authority to hold states accountable for their education performance...In the free society envisioned by the founders, schools are held accountable to parents, not federal bureaucrats.

Without precise meanings behind words, politicians and elites can obscure reality and condition people to reflexively associate certain words with positive or negative perceptions. In other words, unpleasant facts can be hidden behind purposely meaningless language.

Capitalism should not be condemned, since we haven't had capitalism.

Believe me, the intellectual revolution is going on, and that has to come first before you see the political changes. That's where I'm very optimistic.
Ron Paul
Image
All initiation of force is a violation of someone else's rights, whether initiated by an individual or the state, for the benefit of an individual or group of individuals, even if it's supposed to be for the benefit of another individual or group of individuals.

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.

I see this piece of legislation as essentially being a declaration of virtual war. It is giving the President tremendous powers to pursue war efforts against a sovereign nation. ...I think it is another example of a flawed foreign policy that we have followed for a good many decades.

Banning guns because of their misuse is like banning the First Amendment because one might libel or slander.

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.

Unfortunately, the greater the humanitarian outreach, the greater the violence required to achieve it.
Ron Paul
Image
But whether the resistance against government tyrants is non-violent or physically violent, the effort to overthrow state oppression qualifies as true patriotism.
Ron Paul

Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces.
Ron Paul

The federal government cannot maintain a budget surplus any more than an alcoholic can leave a fresh bottle of whiskey untouched in the cupboard.
Ron Paul
Image
The cost in terms of liberties lost and the unnecessary exposure to terrorism are difficult to determine, but in time it will become apparent to all of us that foreign interventionism is of no benefit to American citizens, but is instead a threat to our liberties.
Ron Paul

I take my marching orders from the Constitution.
Ron Paul

Our forefathers would think it's time for a revolution. This is why they revolted in the first place... They revolted against much more mild oppression.

Right now, nobody legalized paper money. Where did that come from.

Close Dept. of Education, but don't dismantle public schools.

The president and other government officials denounce school violence, yet still advocate for endless undeclared wars abroad and easy abortion at home. U.S. drone strikes kill thousands, but nobody in America holds vigils or devotes much news coverage to those victims, many of which are children, albeit, of a different color.

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

We need a smaller and elite military, as [Donald]Rumsfeld said - and also a smaller and elite foreign policy.
