  • The United States IS run by the elites hahaha. Ron Paul wants to put in radical 360 degree change which would completely reverse what we have now which is the Federal Reserve and banking elites running the country. Ron Paul wants to give more power to the people. The gold standard would allow people to preserve their wealth and not have it be destroyed by the Federal Reserves inflationary policies which bailout the rich at the expense of the poor and middle class.

  • The core of this speech is Ron Paul's statement that patriotism is the effort to resist oppressive state power. By this he means, of course, resisting the U.S. government's power. But if he ever defined "oppressive", boredaghast cut that from teh video. But we know Ron Paul wants to abolish the entire income tax, for example, abolish the banking system and most regulation, and tie the dollar to gold. Essentially, hand over the United States to its wealthy elite.

  • Who is your candidate of choice for President?

    And how do supporters of Ron Paul weaken ourselves and our country? haha Plus show me a Ron Paul video with over say 10,000 veiws that has 100% adoring comments, there is none, maybe 90% but there is opposing comments on any video that has any significant amount of veiws.

  • There are more and more Ron Paul videos on the web-- and the comments are 100% adoring groupthink, very similar to the Freepers. see Free Republic website discussions. My dear Freepers. You weaken yourself and the country, by your groupthink.

  • The love of money leads them into corruption and destruction.

    Trust not in uncertain riches, but in Almighty God who gives unto us richly all things to enjoy.

  • Well put.

  • At least he's out there doing something about the corruption you complain about. Are you capable of filling the position of "perfect" anti-war leader?

  • ToddBoyle, I think that you would really love Ron Paul if you'd learn a little more about him. There are a ton of resources, including his voting record from the 10 terms he's served in Congress. Most people can't even conceive what "small government" means because ours has been dominating our lives for so long. Ron Paul advocates small government that ONLY protects and defends our individual autonomy as the Constitution dictates.

  • I watched your video and wow you are a no talent ass clown and a terrible speaker. Maybe the anti war movement would be stronger if they had someone who didn't stumble over there words.

  • RIGHT ON BROTHER

    WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE RICH THAT MAKES THEM SO EVIL

    GOD I HATE THE RICH SO MUCH

    arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
