My message is simple - freedom works a lot better than the authoritarian style of government.
Ron Paul
Image
Americans are tired of the games and the lies of today's media. They want the truth. Imagine this. No censors, no barricades, no statists. We will be able to engage viewers directly on subjects that matter most to them, from finances to civil liberties to foreign policy.
Ron Paul
Image
They've been taught by too many that this war was necessary when it isn't.
Ron Paul
Image
To me, to be a conservative means to conserve the good parts of America and to conserve our Constitution.
Ron Paul
Image
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
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.
Ron Paul

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.
Ron Paul
Image
If you sacrifice liberty for security, you will lose both.
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.

Unlike Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, I never voted to provide taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood.
Ron Paul
Image
There should essentially be no limits to the voluntary definition of marriage.
Ron Paul
Image
I think it's a theory... the theory of evolution and I don't accept it as a theory.
Ron Paul
Image
Scientifically, there's no debate over whether the fetus is alive and human.
Ron Paul
Image
I take my marching orders from the Constitution.
Ron Paul
Image
I had the privilege of practicing medicine in the early '60s, before we had any government. It worked rather well, and there was nobody on the street suffering with no medical care.
Ron Paul
Image
Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country and giving it to the rich people of a poor country.
Ron Paul
Image
When one person can initiate war, by its definition, a republic no longer exists.
Ron Paul
Image
I wouldn't vote against getting rid of the Jim Crow laws.
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 don't quit because you happen to be behind. You want to see how you do. And who knows? Maybe somebody will stumble.
