The fact is most Ron Paul supporters are not conspiracy nuts but rather quasi eduacated individuals who know whats really going on in America.

Everyone, we need official designated Ron Paul spokespersons for every meetup.

I know you have good intentions but when you're talking to someone who is new to the concept of freedom, you have to really ease them in.

And don't drone on and on.

Stick to the points. He's for allowing gold and silver to be legal tender, to legalize gold and silver. (if you word it that way MUCH better).

He's for legalizing freedom, competition, for ending war, and for the constitution.

The books they are references are frankly crap. Economic hitman doesn't really source any information whatsoever. Naomi Kleins book of shock doctrine is only true in the premise, the implementation being open trade policies is certainly not the truth of most countries with problem, rather protectionism and decades of complete disaster is the norm.

And I am a Ron Paul supporter, from the Hayekian tradition.

after Nixon destroyed the last link dollar had with gold our wealth didn't leave the country it simply disappeared in the form of inflation.

This makes me love Tucker!

[NosePickingSob]

Don't foreigners have something like 40 trillion of our fiat money???

The gold standard has issues. If the dollar is backed by gold, it will indeed make the dollar more valuable. So valuable that other countries will want them, and gold will flood out of the country in the form of dollars. That happened in the 70's and that's why Nixon stopped exchanging foreign dollars for gold. I believe in commodity-backed currencies, but we need to keep our wealth from flowing out of the country.

This road trip by Tucker was his turning point. Prior this, he used to always couch his support with a negative that undermined all he previously said. After this trip, and meeting these folk, and spending a lot of time with Dr Paul, he became a full on convert. If that hasn't happened to you yet, please keep researching him, and find out for themselves why his followers are so passionate.

I want to be self sustained and self empowered, but I work in the growing service sector of this country's corporatism. The reason Ron Paul's ideas have so much power is that there are many other intellectual people who can confirm the things he says. As a Canadian, or as I call us, diet America. Ron paul's actions in your country would save mine as well. Canadians are ignorant of their own political situation.
