Dr. Paul's Walls II - Taft on the Draft

[AndrewChan84]

Conscription renders the principles of the free-world closer to that of the tyrannical one. Conscription is a sin that must be purged with FIRE!!!!

America might as well have officers that execute running conscripts much like the Russian Commissars of WW2, in order to keep to "cohesion" of the team. If you want conscription, please do it all the God-damn way and show your true colors. Don't pretend to speak for freedom while inkling on the slightest notion of conscription.

[HoIlowhead]

This commentary mentions the drafting of males & females; however, the current registration requirements by the Selective Service System only involve males. Failure to register may have negative effects on future endeavors-including employment opportunities. This is the current inequity which needs redress. A teen female didn't know this was the case but agreed with the unfairness of the current status. Comments or solutions?

[tipoomaster]

@HoIlowhead

Without a doubt, sexist and unfair. Sorry to be so hardline but anyone who says otherwise is full of BS, there are plenty of non-combat roles to play so physical differences aren't even an excuse. Genitalia do not dictate the value of a life. That said, I'm against the draft in its entirely, regardless of who it targets.

[AndrewChan84]

@tipoomaster who says women can't front line. Ca-hones does not dictate front-line capabilities

[tipoomaster]

@AndrewChan84

I don't think they do either, I was just referring to those who use physical differences as an excuse. 

[AndrewChan84]

@tipoomaster Oh good, then I don't have to invoke Starship Troopers, and get back to fighting facism.

[jneil2007]

@MasterTao89 Ron Paul is from Pennsylvania but yea i catch ur drift.

[Archangel02291989]

Remember that it is not the Commander that leads the Nation, it is the people that lead the Commander through their vote..All young people should serve their Country. George Washington was our First Commander, and JFK was in the Navy. The young people in the military are performing some very courageous and honorable service to this Nation. As a representative in Congress it's your job to right any wrong that comes their way. I should know, I am a Navy mom.

[kzmmike]

He is very honest!!!

[guitmarc54]

Was "individual" remover from the national song America the beautiful? Before the word liberty... its fis too well,...its been a long time

[smokinranger8]

Paul is from Pittsburgh.

Obama is not a Northerner.

Still I get where you're coming from and I agree.

You can thank Bush for Obama and might be able to thank them both(along with many other string pullers) for Paul or Ventura or another libertarian-esque in 2012 or 2016. I just hope it isn't too late

[madderbass]

@smokinranger8 Obama's not a northerner? Last time I checked, Chicago is in the northern part of the country.

[smokinranger8]

@madderbass

Obama hails from Honolulu, grew up in Jakarta and Hawaii. Neither of those would be considered northern, he didn't get to Chicago until much later.

[LiteWaiter]

"Ordo ab Chao"

Idiotic wars.

Tremendous financial chaos.

An orchestrated pandemic of a mild flu...

They create an "unhappy mess" and come with a "happy orderly" solution:

the New World Order.

[lalieth]

Also, to say the the 18 year old owes his country something, because he's free, has opportunities, etc.--is to imply that he has these things by the benevolent kindness of his country and especially his government. In other words, his gracious country has allowed him to live a free and happy life and therefore he owes it something. But this is backwards. Government exists by the privilage extended by the people, not the other way around.

[druglover200]

totally agree with you....as im fucking 18 lol ..nah but really this is true me being 18 or not...

[bshucart]

Articulate expression of liberty originating from God, not an institutions or mankind. Great Commentary lalieth!

[AndrewChan84]

@lalieth Conscription is a gentleman's game of ca-hones, where you get drafted to shoot another draftee in an ass-end of nowhere. There you will get to train your ca-hones with other fellow draftees on the other side shooting back at you because you were shooting at them.

And when you come back home alive, you will be elevated to a higher ca-hones status by your society as you have became a man.

That's why think its so important.....

[AndrewChan84]

@lalieth Not to mention that every atom on the surface of your chunk of the planet is due to the benevolent kindness your government, and your society that provide wombs to raise your ass. Of which, even your ca-hones would not of formed if it weren't for them. So maybe, due to this irreducible philosophy, you at least owe serving them with your ca-hones which would otherwise be idle and redundant as far as the "greater good" is concerned?

And that you should "think proper to admit" it

[sandman2643]

The fire in Ron Pauls eyes in imennse. It burns through Tyranny and Evil.The Truth of his words ARE Liberty.

[Rjackman84]

If the Government wants to destroy itself overnight.....they will try a pathetic attempt for a draft. Personally I only defend my family and friends....that is my contry. I Will not go over seas and die for someone whom I don't even know or care about.

[druglover200]

theyll reinstate the draft and thats when we will go to war with iran...i bet you.

[Rjackman84]

if the government thought the 60's were bad in terma of civil disobediance, they have no idea what gonna happen with my generation. We know the fed is full of it and we will only serve our family and friends which are our contry, not our government.

[gnomos1]

it means quilted for truman

[quickboat22]

If he means quit fuckin talkin, he's a dipshit and needs to watch mindless videos all day not these that inform!

[Rjackman84]

If the draft was reinstated millions of young people will stand and laugh at Obama who would be getting the giant FU from the most intellectually gifted generation of our time. We are not so gullable to be subsurvient to the military industrial complex like our parents were. Political officials have no idea what they would be getting themselves into with a such a stupid move.

[plotnonyo]

Are we the most intellectual? Maybe. But we definitely are not the least subservient. Just look at today's youth. We practically worship celebrity's and famous figures. The point is kids do what their told, as long as they are told by someone they adore. Not to mention we are a result of a brainwashing campaign that never seems to end. It is our constant WILL to be distracted from ultimate truth that allows for such troubling times. How many letters have you wrote to your congressman?

[gnomos1]

QFT

[plotnonyo]

Just because you cant understand something sooooo complicating doesn't mean you have to be a troll.

[gnomos1]

what

[plotnonyo]

Oh I thought QFT meant quit fuckin talkin.. sorry if it doesnt

[pfctjd]

You made an excellent point! There is no way a draft could ever happend in this country, all the people would take to the streets and protest it. These wars are too unpopular for it to actually come to be.

[anthonyw713]

Pfctjd did people take to the streets when the 00 and 04 elections were rigged? Did americans take to the streets when 9/11 evidence was taken and still held behind closed doors? Did americans take to the street when bush was passing the patriot act? How about when dick shot a guy in the face? Or when obama shits on the consitution and ignores it just like bush. No americans will do nothing because they have the fear of govt in them

[pfctjd]

I fear what you say is true. I think drafting all of us young people would really be the final straw! Obama would lose the support that he has if he were to actually do something like this. A lot of people are wakeing up in our country and most of them are the youth (18-25), either there would be mass protest over the draft or there would be a mass exodus to Canada./ Hopefully our people would stand up and stop the government from all the BS that they are committing.

[drshroomington]

(left over from the second post)... John Adams belief in the 'ideals of the Revolution' ie, a overall transformation of society as a whole, into a more intellectual, refined group, were squandered as he realized that majority rule would in fact prevail. So just because many key founders didnt approve of popular democracy, doesnt mean that prevailing attributes didn't take hold after the Revolution. Just because you wish and work for something not to happen doesnt mean that its a done deal....

[drshroomington]

Well earthborg, you can read Gordon Wood's Radicalism of the American Revolution for starters, and then go back and read anything on Adam's or Madison's politcal thought, or even Jefferson's for that matter. When you say the word 'republic", it could mean anything from a government without monarchy to what Madison called 'a government where the scheme of representation takes place.' And as for this notion that the Adams' or Madison did not believe in 'democracy'....

[drshroomington]

Well apparently you are not up on your history, because America hasn't really been a republic since the days of our founders, as they noted themselves. The Revolution helped to unleash popular democracy, and ended many of the founder's hopes for a enlightened republic. This is nothing that hasnt been written and debated before, go read up on it.

[earthborg]

direct democracy is not practiced in this country, representatives vote on issues not us. that's what a republic is. If you read the letters of john and abigail adams and the madisons, they did not believe in democracy, and they were the primary architects, who established the electoral college. what are you reading? i'd like to see it. when was the last time you voted on an issue instead of for someone that would decide for you?

[soicuw]

Wow, I must say I am slightly disappointed that ron paul has a quote saying america is a democracy. It isnt. It is a REPUBLIC, and ron paul should know that...

[msiterE]

not his words, duh. besides you do get the point. why pick away at the words when you know exactly what he is talking about.

[TexasGuy09]

He was quoting the board.

[numberonesurvivor75]

I was just about to say that. Democracy is a very vague and ambiguous term. Elections only exist to provide proper representation for the preservation of human liberty.

During Robert Taft's formative years during the progressive era, at a school that bears his name no less, the distinction between a Republic and a Democracy was probably blurred.

Robert Taft was still great in my book though!

[earthborg]

i don't think he's being technical when he uses that term as loosely as we all do. I've heard him call the united states a republic in several other YT vids. He knows it, he is suing the term just like in our BS public education system, and in our BS media but not for the same reasons, he's addressing an audience and using familiar words for that audience.

[harryogre]

The draft is slavery plain and simple!

Forced labor at a fraction of the fair market wage, where one's life is in the hands of his task master, is SLAVERY!

There simply is no other thinking position!

A Free Man can NEVER allow himself to be enslaved!

NEVER!

Slavery is the ultimate dishonor!

Death before dishonor!

Live Free Or Die!

Liberty or Death! But slavery, NEVER!

[druglover200]

agreed, whats that old saying?....its better to be free and hungry that to live as a fat slave.....or something like that??

[destinyson23]

it's better to die on your feet, than live on your knees or something like that, indeed.

[ronpaulspanish]

0:22 what does he say there? Both who? HELP PLZ!!

[harryogre]

Rahm Emanuel and Obama.

Rahm Emanuel is Obama's chief of staff.

[ronpaulspanish]

Thanx a million Harry!!

[Pepsifx357]

It sounds to me like signs of Revolution, Civil War, and World War III are all eminent. That would be a war in which every single person would be directly affected. Hope you bought your guns this Christmas, because war is coming!

[isthatfunny]

tHE STATESMAN ,he is the strongest man alive is views are always about the freedom we preserve.He has been fighting this fight virtually alone for thirty yrs.Thanks to FOX CNN,NBC,ABC,CBS,ALL THE MEDIA SLAVES THAT WILL BE LOSING THEIR JOB IN SHORT ORDER...The truth is a movement that is about our free liberties,and right to assemble ,the right to debate the need to print money against the laws that govern us.The Plunge Protection Team,has flushed the toilet,start swimming.HOMESCHOOL YOURSELF,NOW

[swordsman3000]

"The draft lowers the unemployment numbers"

or in simple terms

"not enough jobs, kill off the kids"

my son will never be apart of this sinister plan...yeah he's only 2..but i'm preparing now

[springsteel333]

the only leader we have left. The republican party embarassed themselves for not nominating this only true conservative, and the democratic party is currently embarassing themselves for ignoring this man who they know to be correct.

[ppt50]

yeah draft! They're even offering citizenship to foreigners when they joint US Army. They trying to get as many people as posible. Are they planning something big? Another war? I think so.

[smalltownrudeboy]

I dread the day that he can no longer stand up for the people by serving us in congress. May he live long and well.

[JamJHolmes]

I voted for this guy, donated my money to his money bombs/campaign. He had no big business contributions because he isn't a sellout like all the other corporate candidates.

[JamJHolmes]

The corrupt crooks who run this country, will create another false flag situation to impliment the draft and Martial Law. Our cage will just keep getting smaller and smaller. Free country my ass.

[SLEEPy2k16]

Refuse to Kill! Refuse to Die!

[smalltownrudeboy]

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees

[trudys666]

We all need to stand up against the draft! It's a blatant violation of the 13th Amendment (involuntary servitude). If and when we do, and we have a just, moral, and Congressionally DECLARED war, then I'm sure that their will be more than enough volunteers.

Thanks for the video Dr. Paul.

[dankalmanson]

Dr. Paul has a really hot secretary.

[Finnbar01]

Oh why oh why hasn't this man become president yet? Clear concise and articulate come to mind when I watch his videos.

[OneManAndHisFiction]

The draft is involuntary servitude, and today with our current leaders Rahm Emanuel and others, it would probably be used in support of the foreign Zionist ideology in the Middle East.

[lingwitt]

Ron! You are so rational! How can you possibly deny evolution?

I think you should read about evolution; perhaps you don't really know what it is.

[travisalger]

I think the topic is irrelivant to Ron. He has no real interest in biology and I don't think he needs to.

Any outcome of a debate over evolution would have zero impact on the cause for liberty in this country. The debate is thus irrelivant and not worth his time.

[friedenmeister]

be pragmatic. this topic is irrelevant. ron could care less what you believe about evolution. it should be a personal decision whether or not to believe in it and it does not affect the cause of liberty.

like i said, please stick to relevant topics. the

[iannetta11]

RON PAUL 2012 !!!

[Chick6517]

great video! seriously i mean that honestly.. nicely done.. i think if i had more time i could watch it over and over again :]

[rubanban5]

wish he was president

[ronpaulspanish]

Do you learn to speak that clear, or are you born with it? I hope it can be learnt, cause I cant get as half as clear as this gentleman does.

[dmc65fairlane]

I am in my mid 40's and have never served in the Military. I tried to enlist right after 911 happened and was told that I was too old. Now I've woke up to the neo-con agenda, and will not serve no matter what. I will how ever pick up arms to defend the constitution, because I believe the only enemies it has are domestic enemies. Ron Paul is a true Patriot, and we should all follow his leadership. I'm just not as passive.

[jessenicholas1]

What we all need to do is learn all we can about these principals and ideas of conservatism, not for being careless (which alot of people claim) but for being careful. We are in it for the long run, not short run. See that this stimulus will indeed raise inflation. not to mention the debt, which we owe to china. yay! I highly recommend paul's books. then get out and spread this!

[Rendova1]

Getting more soldiers on the pay roll sounds like a great way to increase our national debt. Quick fix? GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST

[jessenicholas1]

what's funny is that obama is continuing the wars in the middle east and emanuel's little scheme for the draft sounds like another hell hole idea. It will give some people jobs or whatever, but it's not necessary.... we are not being attacked... the draft was for emergencies. mostly domestic. I would consider serving after college in a year or so but I would do it for the ideas and basis of what this country was founded on. Ron paul has that idea, for the most part. He will be back for 2012.

[brockeastman]

Ron is the most honest man who truly loves liberty and our founders view of America. America should grieve that he isn't our president.

[xsleef]

Wish we had more like Dr.Paul looking out for us.

[SLEEPy2k16]

I will be dodging Proudly, and helping As many people as i can to dodge as well.

[Edbert2004]

How sad it is that this man is not our President. This year as all the others of my lifetime we were forced to choose between two totalitarians that were presented to the electorate as if they were opponents of one another. Truth is there's so little difference between mainstream republicans and democrats it is absurd.

[erato99]

Well put.

[WPG718]

We do not need a draft because we do not need MORE SOLDIERS. WE NEED to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and Japan and Korea and Europe and bring them home. THEN we will need FEWER troops. And please save the NEOCON BS for OUR NEED to be causing needless "pre-emptive" conflicts around the world. Also LET ISRAEL solve the problems ISRAEL has created. Novel concept.

[seeareONE]

freedom

[PresidentRich]

If a war is just, there is no need for a draft; the young would sign up to fight for their country.

[PresidentRich]

Keep your guns.

[weggingt]

Can you please fix the aspect ratio? Ron Paul isn't THAT skinny. :-)

[jcNOVA88]

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrXfromPlanetX]

The one reason I can see good coming from a draft, is for the same reason John Conyers said we should have a draft, so people will finally get off their asses and revolt.

People in the US should get off their asses and rise up against the war in Iraq, but they're not. It's someone else's children who are dying, and the people going over there volunteered.

A draft will show us just what a lier Barack Obama is who let people to believe he was going to end the wars--suckers..

[TheVampirella]

If they do go ahead with the draft I wonder how many people will come "out of the closet" even if they aren't really gay? Or how fast "don't ask, don't tell" becomes a distant memory and gays are welcomed into the military.

[sohc287]

What a pretty assistant!

[TheVampirella]

I wonder if she knows how many people have the hots for her due to these videos. She is easy on the eyes.

[Thinking4You]

The whole thing I have always hated aboyt the draft is that needing a draft actually reflects the people's opinion about the war THEIR government started:that they want the fuck out and they aren't willing to fight for a unjust cause.

[edmyster81]

I always enjoy watching Dr. Paul's candid, honest, non-scripted videos. You won't find another politician so well-spoken outside of a prepared speech.

[dwcarkuff]

I don't generally have heroes, but Dr. Paul is a hero of mine. Virtually a lone voice of truth and reason in Washington.

[friedenmeister]

agreed. he is a bit of a hero for me as well.

[ND066]

Do any other congressmen do videoz like Dr. Paul. I find these incredibly interesting and insightful.

[friedenmeister]

i have seen vids by fred thompson, but he is a douche at heart.

[freebearride]

how does this have so few views ?? tell it again Dr. Paul!

[soapclean]

damn that chick at the beginning is hott as hell, delicious i bet..........

THANK YOU DR. PAUL!!!

[DaveIrie]

Rahm Emanuel wants us all to kill innocent people & die for the racist terrorist apartheid state of Israel. He even served in the Israeli military & now he thinks he can force Americans to fight proxy wars for Israel.

[freedomcorp]

A draft or compulsory service, would mean they expect a generation who's future they stole to now fight for them. I think that would deserve a response from the people.

[CreativeMessage]

Everyone who cares about freedom needs to join the "Campaign For Liberty" TODAY.

A draft and a million man homeland security force will be needed in the future to quell civil unrest here in America as the depression deepens. They want our guns, and the FEMA prisons are getting ready for those who resist the Obama regime. Revolution is in the air.

[Taors]

One thing about Ron Paul that no one can deny - when he speaks, he speaks the truth.

[bryandenehy76]

we need to educate, organize and mobilize. We need a real revolution, more so now than ever before.

If Obama institutes conscription it will be the death knell of his political career.

[thomaserossi]

I hope it ends sooner.

[espunde]

Oh, so do I. Maybe the stimulus bill will shatter the illusion of an unflappable Obama.

[thomaserossi]

It's better to lose faith in the Messiah before he creates a draft rather than after.

[PairoftheSocks]

A man said the popularity for Ron Paul would subside after his run for presidency much like the popularity for the movie snakes on a plane. I can surely tell you know that this person was WRONG! GO RON PAUL!

[Spike10111]

every young man and woman needs to heed the words of this great statesman.

[jburke8491]

Dr Paul you are my hero.

[2012Ronpaul2012]

that makes two of us.

[hkongfan]

Dr. Paul's comment about the fallacy that one owes his country is spot on. We owe our children big time, for leaving them debts of trillions of dollars and dwindling liberty. Sending them to die in a foreign country will be beyond egregious. And in case there is a draft, I sincerely hope that at least the "gender equality" non-sense will not come to place. Don't you dare to draft my sisters. Let's face it: our "enemies" are mostly men, and they do treat women differently, not in a positive way.

[reapstreet54]

Hkonfan said "our enemies are mostly men, and they do treat women differently, not in a positive way"

tell me how do the crooks at the Federal Reserve treat their women?

[hkongfan]

What exactly is your point? Do we have plans to declare a war against the FED in the near future? That I don't oppose.

[reapstreet54]

my point was that our real enemies are hear in the U.S not in some far off land.

[hkongfan]

That I totally agree, and that's why I wrote "enemies" with quotation marks. The globalists are our enemies, and they're getting more aggressive and blatant by the day.

[reapstreet54]

*here

[raj4575]

Doctor Paul's people need to learn how to use Virtualdub.

Although the message is still powerful even though he's smooshed.

[Bustafunny]

With the leftist-feminist bunch now in charge, the draft will include women. God help us take this country back!

[minnesotachris]

Another nice video, and I look forward to seeing the rest of Dr. Paul's walls!

[firstlk420]

Ron Paul FTW!

[reapstreet54]

I really hope the Republicans continue to resist Obamas plans and I'm glad to see the party is finally starting to sober up and see reality. They should have been listening to Ron Paul along time ago. I guess its better late than never.

[Bigturns33]

They arnt listening to paul they are playing politics they need to listen to paul and do what they are doing because of the same reasons paul is saying.

[devilmirror1]

I had tear in my eyes. He IS my president.

I'm happy because Ron Paul was working for us in the house.

I'm also sad because he is the lone voice in the congress.

I can only hope that Congress will continue to oppose conscription even under the Obama administration.

Say no to the Draft!

[ddstar]

Ron Paul in 2013, I can feel it!

[phillyfan345]

My God, Ron Paul is such a smart guy. I can't believe he's not President right now. Where is our country headed when logic and common sense are thrown out the window and people believe blind rhetoric like "hope" and "change" with no real solutions? It's a sad time for America right now, that's for sure.
