Ron Paul Hits it out of the Park on CNN American Morning

You people are confusing a gold standard with competition in currency. Ron Paul advocates more of the latter...we had reserve notes tied to gold enforced by legal tender laws which excluded paying in gold itself. Not the same, and not a true gold standard really

I'm a bit disturbed by Ron Paul because he is even more extreme than my conception of things. If Paul's stuff goes through, America would be utterly different from anything that's been before. All the same I really, really like him. I can't see any important thing wrong with his thinking, except the question of how he can actually stop corporatism. I can see how it can happen but then I'm not the best predicter of things. This business of gold & silver is just ridiculously silly. Show me e-gold.

Raj, It wouldn't be different than anything we've seen before. It would be a return to the principles the Republic was founded on. It should be the duty of citizens/Citizens to read an understand the Constitution. There are rules to the game but if people don't know them how can they decide what gov can and can't do? The POTUS should be a ref. not a puppet with the whistle in their pocket.

yup, but the problem is not the currency itself, it's the sheer leverage finance corporations have been able to use on it. Gold & silver, unless heavily leveraged, would utterly collapse the economy and slow everything down irredeemably. US corporations move out, then come back in from a new imperial centre.

Gentlemen, I think its time to actually reconsider the premise of currency at the fount.
On Ron Paul, he's talking about a return to american standards pre-central bank and fed reserve establishment of 1913, but nearly a hundred years later, fiscal policy is now wholly in the realm of corporate exclusion. A return to the gold standard? Id be amazed if there was more than a pittance left in fort nox.

Ron Paul's message is FREEDOM. There was a point in time when our nation had no::
Dept. of Education
IRS
CIA
FCC
BATF ... & etc ...
If there was a time when our nation didn't have these things;we shouldn't have 'em now. They are anti-american. Fuck "Uncle Sam".

No its been seen before, just a long time ago

The 2008 Presidential Campaign for Ron Paul was just a dry run, he and his message will be even MORE POPULAR in the next election! Why won't the Republican Party recognize that WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND REAL CHOICES for President; the current status quo just proves the Republocrats are just one big party and the candidates are chosen by the Rockefellers and the CFR. MSM works the crowds and tells them what to believe by repeating the lies and only promotes their chosen ones!

That was all very interesting but you still didn't address anything on self-defense (Israel) vs aggression (Iraq) principles. You just went off on a tangent about past and present peace agreements. Stay on topic.

If someone were practicing self defense wouldn't they have a desire for peace? You said Israel has been trying for peace, I gave 5 examples in the last 3 years that 100% proves otherwise.

Iraq was an aggressive nation, so is Israel, yet our policies towards both have been 180 degrees different and people in the middle east have the basic common sense to see what you are unable to see and hence they get angry and react accordingly.
