I would absolutely never use the federal government to enforce the law of using marijuana

It is a dangerous notion that we need a government to protect us from ourselves.
Ron Paul

We need to take away the government's money power. The banking industry needs its welfare check ended. The dollar's soundness depends on its being untied from the machine that can make an infinite number of copies of dollars and reduce their value to zero.
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
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

The Founding Fathers realized that the power to tax is the power to destroy, which is why they did not give the Federal government the power to impose an income tax. Needless to say, the Founders would be horrified to know that Americans today give more than a third of their income to the Federal government.

The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a globe-straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment toward us.

The ultimate goal of the anti-religious elites is to transform America into a completely secular nation, a nation that is legally and culturally biased against Christianity.
Ron Paul

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
Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the 'criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.
Ron Paul
Image
After years spent in Washington, I have become more aware than ever of the government's ineptness and the likelihood of its making mistakes. I no longer trust the U.S. government to invoke and carry out a death sentence under any conditions.
Ron Paul
Image
Without question, the true goal of some in Congress is to create a system of socialized medicine. It's politically expedient to slap a patients’ rights label on legislation that simply leads us closer to a complete government takeover of medicine.
Ron Paul
Image
The constant refrain that bringing our troops home would demonstrate a lack of support for them must be one of the most amazing distortions ever foisted on the American public.
Ron Paul
Image
American voters should understand that Congress will always find a way to spend every last dollar sent to Washington.
Ron Paul
Image
We have a greater responsibility to act than those who live in ignorance. Once you become knowledgeable, you have an obligation to do something about it.
Ron Paul
Image
In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.
Ron Paul

Politicians throughout history have tried to solve every problem conceivable to man, always failing to recognize that many of the problems we face result from previous so-called political solutions. Government cannot be the answer to every human ill. Continuing to view more government as the solution to problems will only make matters worse.

What if the American people woke up and understood that the official reasons for going to war are almost always based on lies and promoted by war propaganda in order to serve special interests?
Ron Paul

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

We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such.
