Ron Paul - The Situation Room, 7/7/10, Pt. 1

[Leftovervictim1991]

Ron Paul for President 2012!!!

End the Fed, End the Wars, End the IRS, Legalize Freedom!

[WanderingSeer]

Frank was responsible for the housing bubble by not allowing any reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac along with the other Democrats.

i wish Barney Frank would say...I tot I tot a puddy wabbit.

"Our nation is at war, we face a very tough fight in afganistan, but americans don't flinch in the face of difficult truths or difficult tasks... etc"

I'll bet anything the Soviets said exactly the same thing when they tried to invade afganistan. American politicians give hypocrisy a bad name.

[AFRIKTODAY]

@urdisturbing

Obama is just another face of the banking and militaro-industrial elite that dominate the world and that tries to use the name of the US as a front for world domination. He has sold out his soul to a machiavelic project and he is not at all someone to be trusted; no more so that clinton, Bush or any other american president of 20th century.

[mart83648]

Awe look at the cute little retarded boy trying to be serious!

[Wolffanator]

I don't know why more people haven't realized that right wing libertarians who agree with Ron Paul can agree with the true anti war liberals on significantly reducing military spending. Polls say that about 65% of republicans are pro-war, I don't put that much stock in polls, but that one I believe. The thing is, is even if that is true that still means a majority of the people who vote are anti-war. Same shit different decade. :-(

[IaoGawd]

@Wolffanator Ever argued with someone who asks you "How would you feel if it happened to YOU?" People, apparently, abandon their morals and beliefs when they no longer work in their personal best interest.

65% of Republicans aren't "pro-war," they're just "pro-Old-Testament-style-kicka­ss-of-my-enemies-war." They fail to see that fighting this war, "for our safety," is only serving to bring about their worst fear: the collapse of Amerika and the loss of white, Christian domination.

[Wolffanator]

@IaoGawd

I have heard that question at times, and I've asked it. The statement about people abonding their morals/beliefs(which they make up themselves anyway) I agree is true about the majority of humans.

That's an interesting way of describing it. What I wonder is if that 65% who thinks we should stay in Iraq and Afgahnistan until we "win", can they even define what winning means? Every time I hear a scenerio of what they're ideas of "winning" is, it seems pretty ridiculous to me.

[IaoGawd]

@Wolffanator Yes... somehow sending our armed forces and reserves to the opposite side of the planet equates into "security."

Funny... 19 Arabs caused 9/11, yet 12 million illegals exist in the U.S. I would have thought that securing the border would've been first priority after 9/11. I've got nothing against the illegals (I understand their drive to want a better life for the next generation). But people do, with a straight face, argue that our porous borders aren't a major security risk.

call me gay but i cant stop loving RP. he is the man.

[herzogsbuick]

"You don't buy that, do you?" lmao

[freakfiend32]

Rep. Barney Frank is a backstabber,

[SaveAmericaGuy]

HELL YES!  lets do this

[teddypeanutbutter]

I think Barney Frank has a crush on Ron paul. How could he not!? I'm strait and I do!

[bigboss686]

Barney Frank is such a piece of garbage! And the fact that he would tell such an obvious and transparent lie almost the very instant he opens his mouth speaks volumes about how big of a piece of crap he really is.

He's not fit to shine Dr Paul's shoes, on the contrary. He is most likely made up of the same substance that Dr. Paul would scrape off his shoe at the end of the day.

[goodinohio]

American troops are now being used as muscle for the drug traffickers.

[LeCommensale]

Great video.

[lushfauna]

Ron Paul 2012!

Down with all main stream backed incumbents

Glen Beck is misleading many of you.

[alaskaracer]

[alaskaracer]

@alaskaracer because we all know the president does what the vice president says

[lushfauna]

@alaskaracer not barney dude you kidden?

[Rajaat99]

We're not even fighting to win. We're fighting to stay there. It's so stupid.

We've given up finding Osama Bin Laden. Wasn't that why we went there in the first place?

[spol07]

Go to hell Barney, you don't believe in anything except your pay cheque.

[tillman40]

Its a catch 22 for the US...the military employs a large # of people whether its combat troops or military manufacturing....got to love the MIC.

Paul in 2012!

[TheHairyHeart]

Barney is a crook...

[MaurDL]

I'm glad to see Paul's common sense is making strides in the muddled up world of D.C.

[WTFaboutWTC7]

I wouldn't trust Barney Frank for one second.

watch?v=yIztVx0Ir6o

It's been proven without the shadow of a doubt.

barney frank is my favorite crazy person

[go2infowarsdotcom]

George Bush wanted to get into Iraq before 9/11. Sp 9/11 didn't change everything it just gave them an excuse to get into Iraq like they wanted to all along.

[publicanimal]

Wow, I just gained some respect for Barney Frank. I think he's a well-meaning guy he just doesn't get it when it comes to economics.

[Dannyboy8155]

@publicanimal He's just a really good politician.

[yakyakyak69]

@publicanimal Evil thinks it's good and wants to force others to be good too...

True good just wants to be left alone!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

You will know when you are on the road to hell when some limp-wristed fat guy with a lisp is dragging, pushing or carrying you against your free will.

[chevydriver1123]

This all boils down to Military Socialism which is openly supported by "We must save them" Liberals, Chickenhawk Conservatives and Israel First Neocons.

[jag10]

Frank en Paul.

A liberty loving, truth telling, minimalist crossed with a man loving, corrupted corporatist.

[n66178]

Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.

2012...

[thebluestofpeas]

great!

[yakyakyak69]

The gov't MUST begin to fear the people once again!

Watch the film: "Money as Debt" on YouTube

This "big government" & “US Imperialism” problem has it's roots in the Federal Reserve, Fiat Debt-Currency and Fractional Reserve Banking without which "big gov't" could NOT even exist!

Crony Progressive-socialist politicians defend the Fed so they can use Fed “debt notes” to pander for campaign support and votes with pork spending which is paid for with the hidden inflation tax.

[CurtHowland]

@yakyakyak69 Just read some Austrian economics.

.

The daily articles on Mises dot o rg will correct pretty much every monetary fallacy you might have.

[yakyakyak69]

@CurtHowland I visit that GREAT site every single day. ;)

The Video: "Money as Debt" on YouTube is a great overview.

There are other videos on my page. Feel free to take a look.

[BRGxRandomHero]

barney frank's speech shows the intelligence of your average congressman

[MrBankRuns]

This is all lip service. More troops will go into Iraq & Afghanistan. There is no way the enemies of freedom will allow US to leave.

[cja100]

@MrBankRuns What?!

[cja100]

@MrBankRuns "enemies of freedom", care to tell me who they are?

[waluum]

Evidence that the divisive rhetoric doesn't always stand in the way of progress. On the other hand I'm somewhat suspicious. Ron Paul inspired a lot of people to get involved in affecting the system to preserve its Constitutional basis through his consistently good character and integrity, but I wonder if some of the people who are buddying up to him aren't doing it out of a sense of self-interest, seeing how much power the movement that he started is gaining. Good for the cause either way.

[TripleC86]

@waluum I had that exact same thought. Once the "Tea party" movement started getting mainstream attention, Neocons started trying to highjack it. I dont care what anyone says on T.V., the Tea party started completly anti-war.

[waluum]

@TripleC86 : I understand what you're saying, but the Tea Party isn't anti-war, nor is Ron Paul. Paul voted to go into Afghanistan because he understood that we were justified in pursuing those who aided and abetted the 9/11 terrorists, but he did so under the condition that our role not be extended into nation building (which is ultimately did, which is why he ultimately opposed the continuation of it). Iraq was somewhat of the same, except that it was not declared in the same fashion or for...

[waluum]

...the same reason. It's fair to say that Paul, and the Constitutional Conservatism that he made popular (which subsequently formed the Tea Party), does not support war in most cases, but he (and the party) does not completely oppose it.

[lushfauna]

@waluum Ya but Ron Paul is completely anti war he just about defense

[waluum]

@lushfauna : Ron Paul is not anti-war he just doesn't support pre-emptive war or war that is not authorized by Congress, which includes all but a few wars we've been involved in in recent history.

[Wolffanator]

@waluum

That is a good point. I used that inaccurate terminology myself. It's an important distinction to make. My own way of thinking about it is this: There is a big difference between minding your own buisness/defending yourself if neccessary vs. stumbling around in a pub like a drunken fool with beer muscles looking for a fight. The position in reality is being anti-pre-emptive war.

[charlie8575]

Wow....I thought I'd seriously never see this. One of the smartest, most trusted members of Congress working with Barney Frank! I sincerely do not trust Barney Frank, especially after having him as my rep for four years, but if they're actually willing to do something that really is for the common good and can work together to do it, go gentlemen, go! It's too bad we don't see more across-the-aisle reaching like this. I wonder about motive, but if the result is good, it's immaterial.
