We'd love it if we could all just come home and not worry about the rest of the world. But the problem is, they attacked us on 9/11. We were here they attacked us.

As recent as the year 2000 we won elections by saying we shouldn't be the policemen of the world, and that we should not be nation building. And its time we got those values back into this country.

Believe me, the next step is a currency crisis because there will be a rejection of the dollar, the rejection of the dollar is a big, big event, and then your personal liberties are going to be severely threatened.

To me, to be a conservative means to conserve the good parts of America and to conserve our Constitution.

You don't quit because you happen to be behind. You want to see how you do. And who knows? Maybe somebody will stumble.

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.

I think the policy makers like the idea of being the boss. I mean people who like to boss other people around like to go into politics so they can become the boss.

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.

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.
Ron Paul

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.

Once created, federal programs are nearly impossible to eliminate.

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

I am convinced that there are more threats to American liberty within the 10-mile radius of my office on Capitol Hill than there are on the rest of the globe.

Once you get the government involved in agriculture you'll have nothing but problems and expenses.

The Boston bombing provided the opportunity for the government to turn what should have been a police investigation into a military-style occupation of an American city. This unprecedented move should frighten us as much or more than the attack itself.
Ron Paul
Image
The number one responsibility for each of us is to change ourselves with hope that others will follow.
Ron Paul
Image
Each of us should choose which course of action we must take education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes, but let it not be said that we did nothing.

By the way, when I say cut taxes, I don't mean fiddle with the code. I mean abolish the income tax and the IRS, and replace them with nothing.
