  • Seems to be the only ones that agree with you are socialist / communists. Why you think that is. So if troops kill babies that is Gods will ? Hmmm ? You have to pick a side . But It sounds like you are a romney guy. Any way the wind blows. Into a closet to pray ? I think you need to read some Charlotte Iserbyt... Sound like you already read Ann Rand.. She pretty much says what you are saying. which is nothing. You talk in circles. Just like she does. Good luck with the communist party man. NOT!

  • Comment removed

  • Great video on the points on Ron Paul.. in fact your position is the 'bigger picture'..

    In reality.. the "government" (corporation) is NOT the enemy.. and revolting against the government will do absolutely nothing..

    Until the cancer (Talmudic Jewish banking oligarchs & related families) is cut out of our country.. all talk of a free, soverein nation is pointless & revolts play right into their martial law plans. Only intelligence will pay off here

    Only through exposing the enemy

  • You are definitely right about not praying to be seen by others, and to pray in private.

    But prayer should not be banned in school, You don't even need to pray out loud, God will still hear you.

    And I have often thought Ron Paul is being used like a pressure valve, which he is most likely not aware of.

    One thing I want to point out, is the Bible was translated into Latin, from Hebrew and Greek.

    But I do see how asking God not to lead you into temptation seems strange even if not wrong.

  • In a closet was the word I heard.

    How can silent prayer be banned?

    He knows.

    Originally in Coptic & earliest written 60 years after the act! By 12 the contradictions & disparities I found glaring. Mix in a Catholic upbringing & I've been wary of ALL religions since!

    It's the culmination of a bunch of little things like that adding up to a sense that the totality just doesn't compute!

  • @pmarceau There are many instances in the bible where god led people into temptation to test them. What's there not to understand about it?

  • You have to be kidding. You would piss away all the good that Ron Paul would do because he supports states rights and school prayer!!!!! So who did you vote fro obama? Hmmm he's really working on nafta, and the iraq war isn't he? Why did I even bother writing this.

  • I voted for Cynthia McKinney.

    R.P does some good in exposing otherwise secret stuff, but most of the time he is simply another Republican. Big business, no regulations, & around here "State's Right's" is code for white supremacy. School prayer is limited to Southern Baptist.

    I'm local & know the people who vote for him. You?

  • Ur simply a fool and it doesn't suprise me a bit that ur still confused about catholisism. iIf u spent half the time studying scripture as u do blaspheming it then u would understand sir. And Ron Paul is a great man who was running for the right reasons. He wasn't afraid to expose the federal reserve and secret socioties involved with our government that is destroying our country.

  • Confused about the Catholic church? The church headed by a former junior Nazi? Said leader who just un-excommunicated a Holocaust denier? When I want to study fiction, I'll choose better written books than words stolen from former religions whose only goal is control of feeble minds.

    R.P. can shout all he wants, but until he introduces legislation aimed @ dissolving the Fed, it is nothing but hot air.

  • watch?v=7PC9fkLMZmo

  • Yup, he's been pushing this bill for several years now. Maybe this year it will actually reach the floor. Even if it does, there is nothing corresponding in the Senate, so like all his other "bills," it is nothing more than a feel good bit to point to come re-election time.

    This man is a prime example of why congress stays the same year after year after year. Each can claim local success & personal integrity, yet nothing ever really changes.

  • Happy new year, buddy.

    You're doing great!

    Thanks for putting the balance in.

  • Hoping peace movement reaches critical mass this year!

    Figure having been close & keeping tabs & old enough not to be swayed by emotions, I've got a unique perspective making my 2 cents worth @ least 3.

  • "He also believes that the earth is 6,000 years old & Intelligent Design should be taught in school's (if he can't get rid of the schools) science classes. So I can think that his view of right & wrong is guided by an often translated, very biased book written long ago to keep people under the control of their leaders. IMHO.

    People who have a certitude of knowledge on ALL questions, scare me."

    I have to agree that's a little 'odd' and I find it surprising he does. We all have our beliefs.

  • True, we each of us have our beliefs, but yours & mine are inconsequential when compared to a Representative, Senator, or President. They have the power to affect & inflict on our lives that to a degree that we lack. Therefore, knowledge of their core beliefs is important & must weigh in on our decisions regarding them.

  • But TC what i will say, for now, is its good to talk. Opinions may and can differ but that is what freedom and democracy is all about. I respect yours and your questions. I hope you respect mine. The problem is that you and we are faced with people who DO NOT respect this. I have to say from what i have seen read and heard... RP does. Cheers.

  • I do respect & enjoy these conversations. For me, this is where Y.T. holds it's attraction. I respect R.P. he is a refreshing note in a mostly corrupted congress. Still I'm not impressed on his leadership. Yes 10's of thousands flocked to his message, but mostly due to emotional reasons & without much research into the totality of his stance & standards.

  • BUT the interesting thing is that the young 'uns flocked to him. He's mid 70s! Think about it. Of ALL the candidates you'd think they'd flock to Obama (I always chuckle at that giy's name - so close to Osama. In fact when i first heard the name i thought someone had mispronounced).

  • Most of my subscribers are under 25, but (& here's the important part) they subscribe because of the issues I cover, the messages I tender, not the emotions I generate. Way too many Americans make their choices due to shallow things like Osama's name, as you alluded to it. By the way, the # of young people registering & voting for him has broken all previous records. While more than half register Independent, they pole toward Obama.

  • Appreciate you taking the time to respond "TC" and I can't say I would know exactly why "impeachment for Clinton but not for Bush" but a wild guess COULD be that, while Paul (without a doubt) has truckloads of integrity (in my view and I'm positive of it) he may also have just gotten a little "smarter" when he's thinking to himself "If I run for republican nomination I can't be too blunt, frank and honest and burn all my potential bridges". But who knows? And sure he wants the young 'uns.

  • Well, he's quit running for President. His seat in congress is safe now. Still won't consider Impeachment. He talks constitutional issues & never has the constitution suffered like in the last 8 years, so I feel this is a case of him talking the talk & not walking it. Judge a man not by what he says. Judge him by what he does or in this case, doesn't do.

  • I sometimes wonder (ignorantly and naively) what would happen if America went to the polls in November and had the guts to score out the two candidates and write in RON PAUL. Personally, I would deeply wish to meet the man. I would not hold ALL his beliefs BUT, weighing it all up, a vast majority of my opinions would be reflected by his. Why? Simple. They are based in human principles and values and not in what the greed of the corporates DICTATE.

  • A lot 2 chew on. Politics are controlled by two parties & use media & rules to limit info & participation. Dr.P. will not B on enough ballots 2 win. Nader, Barr, McKinney, & Baldwin R.

  • I have never seen a man in politics in my life who I could assess (and pardon me but I can assess people very well) as full of passionate integrity, reality and truth. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY HE WAS SIDELINED BY HIS PARTY COLLEAGUES. Yet now, it is interesting watching US TV coverage when they now offer Mr Paul time to make his points and they (or many and many more in the media) realise just how right he is.

  • R.P. quickly joined impeachment of Clinton (one lie about sex,) but not Bush (900+ lies to start war?) What does that say about his integrity?

    Time had story of illegal wiretaps before '04 election, but waited 1 yr before printing. Same w/Paul. Lot of press after it matters.

  • I watch and listen closely to the other candidates on both parties and I see absolute macchiavellianism being displayed continuously. They are LIARS and they are there for the power (as most are). WE in the UK, have the same issue. They are ALL power hungry. Mr. Ron Paul's words, track record, actions and even his body language SCREAMS integrity at you.

  • I would be interested in your views as to why on earth this would prove beneficial to him or any other republican candidate OR the republican party? He has said many times himself he is MORE republican than the other candidates (unfortunately now the race is over) BECAUSE, as it is well understood, he is strictly constitutional AND the others are NOT. They are NEOCONS!! I have been researching Mr Paul for some time now (very much like "A.T.") and I see EXACTLY what A.T. sees.

  • Lots of new young voters this go round. Dr. P. highlights the issues they are passionate about, keeping them (remember, survival here is time demanding) from exploring 3rd party options long enough that when he finally directs them that way, well, an old saying comes to mind, "A day late & a dollar short."

  • However, you may disagree somewhat with his views (and remember he is LIBERTARIAN and has stated on countless occasions it is up to the individual how they wish to live their life) on these two points, please consider these two (if I may suggest) MINOR issues in relation to the vast number of MAJOR issues you (and many) agree with.

    Lastly, you suggest at the end of your video, that he is a republican like the rest and is, somehow, being "used" to add some kind of distraction?

  • Also, I recognise RP is a devout christian (and I see that this fact has probably been a major factor regarding who he is and his absolute integrity - not because he's CHRISTIAN as opposed to any other religion but because he considers right and wrong conscientiously.

  • He also believes that the earth is 6,000 years old & Intelligent Design should be taught in school's (if he can't get rid of the schools) science classes. So I can think that his view of right & wrong is guided by an often translated, very biased book written long ago to keep people under the control of their leaders. IMHO.

    People who have a certitude of knowledge on ALL questions, scare me.

  • For the first time I've closed the ratings. Why? Well, since the judgment is not on the quality of the video (I make no claims to be a film maker,) but a disagreement with the message, I know its done because I'm not "for" R.P. I reckon if you want to display displeasure, do it in the comments. At least then I have a chance to explain myself.

  • It's starting to feel like another TC video is in order.

    Well, it's July 3rd. Six months ago, I was optimistic. I just knew that THIS July 4th, the mood would be pre-2001-I was wrong and have fallen into a limbo of apathy. THEN today, info I read (led by another Utube member) yanked me out of limbo and into a tailspin:

    Norman Dodd and the Reece Committee investigation.

    I can't get my head clear enough to contemplate the implications. They can't be good - no matter how or who spins it.

  • 3 in the pipeline, but comp problems have me using my '90's era laptop, no video power.

    Reece, takes me back in time so far I'll have to reread to get back up to speed. Something about foundations acting against the constitution. I know the dumbing down began with the beginning of last century & foundations helped. Looking @ size & age of the monster doesn't change how we fight it.

    Deep breath, hold, exhale completely, smile...

  • TC, U told me a while back, the big picture on political corruption was a hard one to take and to take it slow.

    Unfortunately, I'm wired like a hyperactive dog with a bone. Anyway back to the Reece Committee. From the transcript:

    "...that government is to be based on the principle of collectivism, which is another way of saying socialism, and it is to be ruled from behind the scenes by those same interests which control the tax-exempt foundations."

    This isn't a news flash, what got me is this:

  • ...Mr. Dodd, we (THE cARNEGIE iNSTITUTE) are here operate in response to similar directives, the substance of which is that we shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the United States that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."

    COMFORTABLY MERGED WITH THE SOVIET UNION."

  • There's no question that what Rowan Gaither, told Norman Dodd back in 1953 is coming to pass, however, the 20th century version is called "globalization," - uniting/socializing the planet's economic and political structure headed by the United Nations.

    What threw me yesterday, shouldn't have been such a shock.

    The stress I've collected over the last few yrs in pursuit of the truth (including the loss of my hens) has me consistently emotionally overreacting.

    "Don't worry, be happy!"

    :>

  • You've stated the reason too many hide from the truth. Reality is at such odds with our nation's public persona & self image that the truth pulls the rug out from under. Why critical thinking & questioning authority are verboten in school. They should start teaching them pre-K, propaganda would loose strength & gov would lie less.

  • Well Texan cyclist. I listened to every word you said. Just for your info, I happen to be British too (although that has nothing to do with anything except I'm someone looking in with no "axe" to grind. Re your points: while I agree (within reason and there should always be a stop and check system) that women should have a say re their choice of abortion (remember there is a father too)I do not have strong views.

  • However awesome vid, I watched the point where you pointed out how ron paul is bailing out on federal responceability to protect the womens rights to choose, Just like the federal govt is bailing out on protecting gay rights in states that obviously dont give a crap

  • Thank you. Until the least of us is free, none of us are.

  • i totally agree, thats why im a socialist

  • Im pro-abortion, and im from texas.

  • I'm anti abortion, in a perfect world. Until then, I'm pro-choice or rather, I believe that those issues should be protectively private between a woman & her doctor.

  • Texan, this is the last comment after a long day of blah, blah, blahs...

    DITTO to your view on Ron Paul..

    I suspect there are many who claim to support Ron Paul but do not...I don't know...I respect and care for many who do sincerely support him.

    As a woman, I cannot support him, NOT that it matters anyway...{shaking head} OUR VOTES DO NOT GET COUNTED!

    G'nite and the birds in the background are so beautiful.

  • Oh and btw, Mr. Cheney is on record saying he and Obama are distant cousins, NOT that

    this matters either, politics is unlike a "box of chocolates, we always know what we're going to get!"

    Some Days

    watch?v=yaBeaQHdrGo

  • More to the point is Obama belong to the C.F.R.

  • Well I do enjoy alot of your ideas. On R. Paul your totaly wrong. Yes he premoted such bills but it's from the angle that he believes life starts at conception there for under his idea that life is protected under the constitution. He maybe wrong but he is coming from a constitutional stand point. Your warping it into something else.Prayer that he back was so that kids could be allowed to pray in school if they want.See once again freedom of choice.Your facts are just a touch ascewed.

  • There is no law that keeps anyone from praying. Most kids do before every test.

    He co-signed a bill for public prayer & here in Texas that means Southern Baptist.

    Those are the facts stated in his bill & the facts on the ground where I stand.

    Pregnancy issues should be between a woman & her doctor. Cloaking your druthers as constitutional acts belies the original intent.

  • TC, many Ron Paul Supporters don't agree with everything he says/positions/etc.....but we all agree, HE's THE ONLY ONE pushing for a smaller, Constitutionally-bound Government, and sound money....All sine qua non for a free people! Now, your candidate choices are righteous too, so more power to ya'.

    Aloha, USCVM

  • a life is a terrible thing to create

  • In this day & age, almost criminal.

  • We're nitpicking now. Dr. Paul's position is a constitutional one: Life, Liberty & the pursuit of happiness. First one's LIFE, can't have the other 2 w/o the 1st. But you can't enforce either or any position on ALL people. So let the states decide but that's the least of our problems. If you don't support him then who? Btw, nightowl, Nader's a socialist. He was advised by D. Reckafeller. I could live w/leaving it up to the individual or you make a criminal out of a law abiding citizen.

  • I'm torn by 3 alternatives.

    Nader has effectively controlled corporate malfeasance for our benefit.

    McKinney called for an independent investigation of what happened on 9/11/2001.

    Gravel has stopped 1 war already. He is actively working to empower us as law makers. ni4d(dot)us

    R.P. talks about these things, yet what has he actually done?

  • Well, as I told nightowl, Nader's a socialist and had David Rockefeller for his adviser. McCain is a warmonger (100 yr war?) Gravel didn't even get a 10th of the votes that Ron Paul did. IMHO he is the most viable of the "alternatives." I'd personally not rule him out, even if I had a difference on the issue of abortion with him. Dr. Paul would get 2X the votes Gravel & Nader together would receive. Anyhow, it looks like it's going to be either Obama or Clinton, sorry to say :(

  • I really like Ron Paul. I even considered voting for him... He was actually my "Lesser of ___ evils." However, I've changed my mind and part of it being the same complaint/remark you made against him. Anyway, I'd like to hear what your opinions are on Ralph Nader. He's actually my number one.

  • Ah, the contrary thoughts a human can have. I owned a Corvair when I 1st hear of him. He was trying to remove Corvairs from the market. My other car was a Renault w/not just a seatbelt, but shoulder harness's for all 4 seats! It was also less expensive than similar US cars. Love/hate from the beginning & I've voted 4 him 4 Pres every time he has run.

    MY dilemma is I'm torn by having 3 heros running: Nader; McKinney; Gravel!

    Oh, & thaks a lot for commenting!

  • LIVING proofs that being born does not equate to LIFE this election is more important then embryos its about disconnecting our politicians from corporate influence. Think of Bush, Clinton, Obama and McCain as race cars with commercial endorsements like Pepsi, Verizon, McDonnalds, and Viagra all over them. Ron Pauls endorsements are from YOU the PEOPLE. wake up RON PAUL 2008

  • While I admire/respect a lot of what R.P. says, his legislative record contradicts his words which, IMHO, makes him just an other Republican (in fact he has stated this himself.) "Freedom (limited)" is not freedom, just an empty champaign promise. Gravel, McKinney, & Nader walk their talk. Check their records.

    I'll not base my vote on emotional decisions of people who yearn for Freedom. R.P. would make a great Sec of State or Defense or Treasury.

    Oh, and, "Thank you for your comment!"

  • What are you thoughts on NAFTA and the "AMERO" possibility?

  • Well, the PTB are bound & determined & stacking the deck to make sure it happens. NAFTA was part of the prelude (bring down wages here) & even the economic stimulus package helps deflate the $ (making Amero 2 the rescue more likely.) They've been working on NAU since @ least the early '80's (that I can document) so we're more than 3 steps behind in stopping them. I've bet against the odds all my life & I'm living closer to the life I want than most! Think Washington's odds against the Brits.

  • Well, come on latest rater, if you're gonna low-ball rate the video, have the decency to let me know why & what drove you to rate as you did. Really, I value critiques as much if not more than accolades.

  • ontheissues dot org. Paul has voted twice against a bill to stop adults from transporting minors to a state with more lax abortion laws for minors. A vote for a cfr member is a proxy vote for David Rockefeller's one world government.

  • Appreciate your comment. Whole heartedly agree with your CFR comment. At this point the only candidate I can support (of the 2 major parties is Gravel.)

    Having cast my primary vote (Gravel,) I'm shifting my attention to the Green Party & McKinney. She called for a new (real & independent) investigation of 9-11 & was the 1st to mention impeachment on the House floor!

  • "...the best way to reduce abortions is through education -- not through legislation. Our nation's history shows that it is difficult to legislate morality. Laws forbidding the manufacture & sale of alcohol during Prohibition had little effect on alcohol consumption. Instead, they led to an increase in crime&the most murderous epoch in our nation's history. Similarly, legislation to outlaw abortions will lead to illegal abortions..."

    quoted from Natural Law Party Platform

  • Thank you for commenting. I like your field trip idea.

    The Supreme Court has decided that legislators are more qualified than doctors as pertains to abortions, so we don't need a President that agrees, even if he is a doctor.

    While I only find 2 reasons not to vote for R.P. they are more than enough. Religion & medicine are too personal to be legislated on in a restrictive manner.

  • Thanks for making this video.

    There are many "one issue" voters and this is one issue where I vote Paul out as a potential candidate.

    We live in a society where "sex sells!"

    We live in a society where we as parents, are failing to exemplify the importance of personal responsibility.

    Education is a crucial factor that's missing-both at home as well as in school.

    A 9th grade field trip to Vanderbilt's ICU, full of sick newborns & toddlers should be mandatory in all Nashville schools.

  • Interesting to see others reach similar and logical conclusions. 5 Stars especially for

    being of possible help to others.

  • I can only hope I help to open eyes/minds!

    I do appreciate your comment.

  • YouTube is getting better & better @ screwing up the comments. My replies posted in the reverse order of my actual posting! Hope you get some sense out of it.

    Namaste

  • Thank you for your response TexanCyclist.May I say first that I envy your location and apparent lifestyle,I hope you are enjoying it as much as would.I am well aware of the issues you raise and was so before making that particular broadcast.Quotes like 'We will lad every revolution against us' and presentations like 'Ducks and hens' made me acutely aware of the dual possibilities.Cont'd

  • Actually,given a 'genuine' choice, I would more likely have gone for Dennis Kucinich but he was left behind early. I believe that although RP is almost certainly being duped and used by the PTB, he IS a genuine soul and my broadcast stands. I am well aware of how presidents and Prime ministers are levered into office, no danger there. However,the prevalent apathy would not permit the people to choose 'none of the above' and write to Congress saying why.

  • On a final note, I believe the policy issue is moot considering the way, as you say yourself, our leaders are 'foisted upon us'. I would quote Marc Stevens here and say the bottom line is that NO services or product should be provided at the barrel of a gun. Namaste

  • I am not in the habit of making video responses, hence this rushed text reply containing many errors. Forgive them. If you wish to discuss this further, send me a message and we will put it to bed. Suffice to say,anyone outside of the CFR would be my choice if I had to make it.

  • Hear, hear!

  • My only religious practice is to spend at minimum 10 minutes every day on some different part of the property and not thinking, just absorb the ambiance. A great counter to the insanity of politics.

  • No worries, mate! I only add the Builderburger's(sp?) to the CFR.

    We people have never truly had a part in the choosing since the inception of this country. When enough of us get together and push, we can and do influence the drift of the politics and I am grateful for that tidbit.

    Namaste
