Live: Ron Paul at CPAC 2009. Part 1 of 3

[ddpawel]

Great respect for Ron Paul from Poland. Unfortunately Polish media describe Ron Paul as a 'mad grandpa from Texas', which is totally discrespectful for that great man. Fortunately there's internet, and we're in Poland can download his speeches and can tell that Polish and European Union media delude us. Our country have lost power of our constitution in favor of EU constitution which is really socialistic law. Wish you luck defending your constitution.

[mark695847]

I Just LOVE it

[StarGazerCafe]

why is it that people say agreeing with Ron Paul is like being in a cult? he is for the people, he sticks up for us. how many politicians are doing that right now???

[Lyndehouse]

No--it's both parties bowing to massive banks and corporations that have ruined this country.

When government and corporations collude, it is ECONOMIC FASCISM my friend. Ron Paul's ideas win or the United States collapses, starting with the collapse of the US dollar.

[Lyndehouse]

Yes I can

[caseypena420]

WOOOTTTT!!!!

RON PAUL!!!!!

[Invirtuo]

What do you mean by europe? Britain and Ireland are just as Capitalist as the US. France is Socialist and is a horrible place! You probably haven't visited France but take my word it's a disaster.

The only disastrous aspects of GB and I are national healthcare! National helathcare is a sham. My gran has been dying on a waiting list for a year. all her life she was taxed into poverty for universal healthcare and now she gets NO treatment. WAKE UP AMERICA!! YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO ESCAPE!

[bdburck]

i think its ironic that sean hannity, beck and laura ingrim and the rest are getting a dose of there own medicine. they ignored the crowds for Ron Paul during the election and his tea party back in 2007, but still no word from hannity and laura. i just wish that they would unite the party around Paul and his original ideas(constitutional ideas).

[StrwberryCoff]

But look at all these functions now, they are a mess.

[beenblindtillnow]

Getting rid of the Fed would be the best thing you could do one day you will see that. The problem with the european model which you Americans don't get, is it does not matter who you put in government the european union decides most of our laws and they are an unelected body, so change your prime minister or president it means nothing because the EU is always there. Don't ever except your north american union!

[hallucinatingsiren]

Yeah, imagine actually owning your property and having money worth more than the paper it's written on. Naw, I think I'll keep paying property taxes and ignore the disappearing middle class.

[jejojassy76]

The definition of liberty from Webster's Collegiate: If I ain't hurtin nobody then get the fuck off my property!

[matthewkeri12345]

WTF is Ron Paul doing there! Hes pro marijauna for Jahs sake! Man I thought he was cool o well to bad I used to like him but not anymore.

[tonylee1973]

u do not understand what true american conservativism is. Jefferson smoke intense amounts of bud. All the founding fathers did. Madison was stoned 24/7

[tonylee1973]

Limbough, Brownback, these are loudnmouth pro_state warmongering fascist.

[FatGuyInSpandex]

He is not pro-marijuana, he is anti prohibition.

he said he doesnt like pot, but it is the right of the people to choose how they live their lives

[mrbhave]

Marijuana is a plant. What the hell is criminal about that? It's the fascists of the '60s and '70s who demonized this little plant.

[PhiloCentinel]

Paul's overrated. He's a young earth creationist, probably a racist, anti-immigration, conspiracy theorizing retard. Don't fall into to meme/fad of the Ron Paul "revolution".

[nohero4405]

I can tell you've done your research. He believes in evolution (2007 debate), thinks racism is "the ugliest form of collectivism" (you're probably a collectivist though), isn't against legal immigration and doesn't support any known conspiracy theories. And meme? this has been going on for over 2 years.

[PhiloCentinel]

He says he "dosen't accept" evolution. In his newsletter, it said that (among many other things) the LA riots of 1992 ended when Blacks "needed to go and collect thier welfare checks (of course he would SAY he's not a racist, when he's a presidential candidate). He has voted for a fence, no amnesty, no birthright citizenship, etc. And yes, even if it's 2 years old, it's a meme. And no, I'm not a collectivist, I'm a mutualist anarchist. You are just a prole who thinks he's active in politics.

[nohero4405]

He never said that. It was written in a newsletter he supported, but he had no role in writing or editing it. You would know that if you listened to him. Illegal immigrants helped, along with corporations and the government, to collapse the economy. I am all for legal immigration but amnesty and a porous southern border are thing I and Paul disagree with...

[PhiloCentinel]

Alright, so if he SAYS he had nothing to do with it, I should just believe it unquestoningly? It's pretty obviously he at best tolerated the racism in HIS newsletter, and at worst authored it, but because he says so I should believe he didn't? What kind of uncritical attitude is that? Immigration essentially comes don to freedom. You're either for freedom of immigration, or against it.

[hallucinatingsiren]

Why don't you judge the man based on his actions and his voting record?

[PhiloCentinel]

Because this isn't unimportant. If Obama said that he wanted to round up all citizens into camps, would you sit back and say "we should just look at his actions". No, because words have meaning.

[Lyndehouse]

Hope you enjoy having the dollars in your pocket disintegrating in value. You will pay a huge amount because of the Cap and Trade legislation that is going through Congress now.

[PhiloCentinel]

Did I ever say I support cap and trade legislation? Answer- no. Run along now, go play with the other windowlickers.

[Lyndehouse]

As a mainstream republican, Dr. Paul exposed you. No other republican dared to expose the Federal Reserve banking cartel, which has stolen 14 trillion this year alone for their banking friends while they intentionally destroy the US economy. You are un-American and a terrorist for rejecting Dr. Paul at this hour of crisis for America. If you want to get torn up in debate, keep challenging me. Freedom beats the failed warfare/welfare state any day.

[PhiloCentinel]

Well, you're obviously a 12 year old. I'm a terrorist because I don't support Ron Paul? You're talking directly out of your ass.

I pity you, poor, fanatical cultist.

[Lyndehouse]

The Federal Reserve has printed 14 trillion dollars this year to bail out massive financial institutions. This will devalue the dollars in your pocket through inflation and, as Americans fall deeper in debt, these banks will be there to buy up our entire country. When banks and government collude, it's called fascism and it's un-American and unconstitutional. For supporting politicians who don't talk about the Fed, you are a fascist terrorist by definition.

[PhiloCentinel]

When did I ever say I support the fed? Nowhere, that's where. You have joined the phoney "revolution" of Ron Paul, and it's obviously affecting your capacity for rational, analytical thought. But why have you thrown down your consicousness to your messiah? Because you're a weak human being that feels the need to be a part of something larger than yourself. Just like Obama supporters, you and you cohorts flock to a leader who guides you; it's quite smilar to a cult, really.

[bamacre1]

JoeMomma2002, I love freedom of speech, if for only one reason, because it makes it easier to spot morons. You sir, are a moron.

[IandMVirtualMotive]

Thats because there are many different kinds of conservatives. There's neoconservatism(which is what we've had a taste of already), there's theoconservatism(conservatives who advocate morality and religion), and then there are progressive conservatives(small gov't with progressive values), libertarian conservatives(small gov't with liberalish values), and fiscal conservatives, which are pretty much fit in together. Conservatism is good AND bad. Keep in mind by their policies.

[motiongraphics81]

Isn't that anything, though?

[4merCIA]

Defend the Constitution, get rid of the Federal Reserve System, get rid of the 16th & 17th Amendments, less government control, stop uncontrolled printing of dollars, support the preservation of liberty, and return to humanitarian foreign policies. Ron Paul is what America needs and what the world needs-the whole world would view America differently if he were President. It's time for a revolution. Obama has sold out America already!

[RogerDodger69]

Unlike all other speakers on CPAC 2009, finaly do we hear the real conseervative message. With clear predictions, and not fear mongering. With actual critiques, and not bickering and low blows. With real thought processes used to help SOLVE the problem and not just dung flinging and name smearing. If not ron Paul 2012, then USAers (US Conservatives) everywhere should shoot themselves.

[grozlz]

can you try re-uploading, so that 'video and audio are not out of sync

[JoeMomma2002]

How low he has fallen.

Pathetic to watch him whore himself out to those bunch of war mongering corporate business lackies.

Ron Paul, you're views aren't even on par with Neo-Conservatism, yet you attend these absurd political rallies?

[iphrazel]

What a stupid thing to say. The fact that he's given the speaking slot is a great opportunity for people to hear his message, people who are seeking answers as to why they lost the last election. The people in attendance and watching on tv still don't know that it's all fixed. Why wouldn't he speak if given the opportunity? Apparently people want to hear what he has to say, why should he shun them? Your ignorance is offensive.

[RoidinRichie]

his views ARE the genuine conservative values

he's the one that we should have as president right now to fix the economy

[JoeMomma2002]

I see another Dumb American thinks he knows what Conservative is.

You're wrong, his views are far FAR from being anything conservative, I honestly don't know what they teach you in American Schools.

However having viewed your profile, I can see you're another imperialistic white American whom is repsonsible really for the current global affairs.

Please goo away, you and your whole conservative movement.

[RoidinRichie]

haha and this is coming from someone named "joemomma2002" wow

so i guess you're saying Ron Paul himself doesn't even know what party he is aligned with then huh? yep everyone is wrong and dumb but you

typical ignorant narcissistic dumbasses like you really need to give up on life

also you should learn what it means to be conservative, but it seems as though you don't even know how to obtain actual facts

maybe you should preach about things pertinent to your own shitty country

[limefg123]

aright well either he isnt a conservative or the majority of republicans are not...like mccain/palin and bush and the rest. whatever you call it, ron pauls views are completely different from bush,mccain, palin, and pretty much the rest of republicans.

[RoidinRichie]

you can't pick and choose 3 people from a party and say they represent the general values of the republican party, that's like me picking nancy pelosi, barney frank, and rob blagojevich out of the dems, not everyone is the same, I'm a republican and I agree on almost everything Ron Paul believes in, which is about the opposite of far left liberals

[JoeMomma2002]

Hardly.

Stop polluting and dividing people along liberal/conservative lines.

In a nutshell, conservatism is the belief that the upper-class whites control and manipulate lower-class whites for in this case an unblanaced biasim towards the upper-class.

The ruling class in conservatism divides the lower classes racially and religiously. By confusing them and allowing them to blame each other. Whites blaming Mexicans.etc.etc.

Neo-Conservs incorporate imperialism, conservs don't.

[RoidinRichie]

wow? so what about all the black, republicans? you're sick and twisted definition of conservatism is so laughable I don't even know why you bothered posting it

thats like me saying liberalism is the ideology of imploring a welfare state, taking the money from the working man and giving it to the crack addict waiting for his government check, where corruption is expected and encouraged, all narcotics should be legal, there should be no prisons for criminals, we should take guns from police, etc

[motiongraphics81]

The whole point is to run Neo-Con creeps out of the party. What exactly are you talkin' shit about? Ron Paul is saying all of the same stuff he talked about through his campaign.

[buceriasbo]

hanging zionist traitors is not anti-semitic

[kingneddy]

ron paul told america exactly what obama would do. pitty they dont listen. obama will make bush look like a boyscout. obamas 1st pres decision was to masively increase abortion funding in africa. he also supports forms of infantacide.obama is new world order

[optimist245]

Killing masses of innocent foreign civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, and mass jailing American pot smokers are 2 examples of Neo-Con Fascism which must be rejected (if you truly support freedom and liberty).

[JoeblowscaryO]

Thank you!

[riceowlex]

When 2 million people are killed over mistakes what is the lawful remedy?

Condoleeza Rice said that we went into Iraq over mistaken claims they had WMD's As a result 2 million people there are now dead..8-10 million displaced. Every apocalyptic catastrophe, 93 WTC Oklahoma City demolition, 911 and 7/7 London bombings happened in the middle of govt personel running drills.

[riceowlex]

Peter Power said that on 7/7 his british govt security company was running terror drills in the same places at the same times as these explosions. If the math is right the odds of this happening are quadrillions to 1...More like his security team was instrumental in MAKING these blasts occur and just happened to be in the same place..guess it supposed to look like good police work. Bush/Cheney belong in jail waiting trial along with the rest oi the PNAC slime along with all conspirators.

[riceowlex]

What of the city electrician that was shot dead, 7 times in the head as he lay prone on the floor of the train. If hes wearing a bomb does this stop the explosion. Seems more like he'd seen or done some work and was talking...watch 7/7 Ripple Effect ..Also watch Waco Rules of

Engagement..There were troops (soldiers) from several countries there murdering Americans. If I'd been there they'd be six feet under..WAKE UP! Seeing this slime (Exception Dr Paul) turns my stomach.

[hugBitCH]

does anyone one know where i can watch the full cpac online here?

[Kharakterc]

Thank you Ron Paul!

You have my vote in 2012!

[NeoMaister]

FREEDOOOOOM!!!

[quarterUltra98]

Shame the audio and video are not properly synced. If he runs in 2012, I'll be supporting him all the way.

[shuimaster]

John Meyer likes Ron Paul. Why doesn't he have a concert to spread the message. Obama tapped into pop culture, that's how he won, plus he can bullshit like noone else.

[wellingtonian]

restore the constitution! restore liberty!

American's need to realize that the government need fear the people not living in fear of the government.

Ron Paul 2012.

[NSResponder]

I'm astounded that CPAC would actually invite a conservative to speak to their convention. Maybe they're finally ready to cut the crap and do what they say for a change.

-jcr

[Carlitos1010]

I'm aplauding at a YouTube video.

Thank you Dr. Paul.
