Do they think if we destroy our freedoms for the terrorists they will no longer have a reason to attack us?
Ron Paul
Image
Everyone assumes America must play the leading role in crafting some settlement or compromise between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But Jefferson, Madison, and Washington explicitly warned against involving ourselves in foreign conflicts.
Ron Paul
Image
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.
Ron Paul
Image
There is nothing wrong with describing Conservatism as protecting the Constitution, protecting all things that limit government. Government is the enemy of liberty. Government should be very restrained.
