When one person can initiate war, by its definition, a republic no longer exists.

I'm convinced that you never have to give up liberties to be safe. I think you're less safe when you give up your liberties.
Ron Paul

Every country ended slavery without civil war US could have.

I think a submarine is a very worthwhile weapon. I believe we can defend ourselves with submarines and all our troops back at home. This whole idea that we have to be in 130 countries and 900 bases... is an old-fashioned idea.

When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.

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

Is it any more moral to dilute the value of the purchasing power of the money you hold in your wallet than it is for the farmer to dilute the milk supply with water?
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.

Mr. Speaker, I once again find myself compelled to vote against the annual budget resolution for a very simple reason: it makes government bigger.

What can you do? More and more Americans are carrying a gun in the car. An ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example.)

Why is patriotism thought to be blind loyalty to the government and the politicians who run it, rather than loyalty to the principles of liberty and support for the people? Real patriotism is a willingness to challenge the government when it's wrong.
Ron Paul
Image
Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.
Ron Paul
Image
Congress remains in total denial as our liberties are rapidly fading before our eyes. The process is propelled by unwarranted fear and ignorance as to the true meaning of liberty. It is driven by economic myths, fallacies and irrational good intentions.
Ron Paul
Image
I wouldn't vote against getting rid of the Jim Crow laws.
Ron Paul
Image
There was a time when a willingness to criticize one's own government when it was wrong was the very definition of patriotism.
Ron Paul
Image
Our Constitution, which was intended to limit government power and abuse, has failed.
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.

Suicide terrorism stops when we stop intervening abroad.

I am absolutely convinced, you never have to give up any of your freedoms in order to be secure.
