I have to respect Ralph for this. Giving Ron Paul his due is something that I wish many would do.

Stomach-turning advocacy of majority rule, even to the point of suggesting punishment of those the majority dislikes most.

The later part of his speech gets into community empowerment and actually contains good suggestions. Reference to Ron Paul around minute 45.

@BettyFordGalaxy Sounds like you don't like the democratic process. How un -American of you.

I was there when he spoke on Saturday October 8th. He was so badass. Afterwards we marched to the Air And Space Museum and got pepper sprayed.

God bless this honest man who gave an honest hug to a young woman at the end of the clip. It's good multi-culturalism. I'm born and raised USA, but still prefer multi-cultrarlism, rather than melting pot theory. Variety is or often can be considered to be "spice of life". Of course people being tortured, etc, won't be totally agreeable to this; they're already rendered beyond self-control. They've lost that. We have no reason to demonize even the leader of North Korea. We're hypocrites.

@zaneacademy Logged in just to upvote. That ticket would save this country if we could get some more people with integrity in the House.

@leafwatch

i see how some would object to medicare for all and no tax for labor and how

that would be embracing the majority and neglecting the majority.

unless you mean the corporations getting their way as being the minority. hhmm interesting.

@dwdeclare Nice quote, dwdeclare.

I love you Nader:)

I agree, he should not run for once and help Ron Paul win. I know its against his principles to not "pick" a party. However, he knows why RP is running in the Republican party. If he can get in, other parties win. This would be one reason to "sell out" to the Republican party this one time. I think we need all hands on deck for Ron Paul this coming election. He has earned the opportunity, he has put in his time. He has never lied to us. Let's get him in and change this country.

The US needs to default on its debt and wipe out the 6 big banks and send the the participants to jail.

Other wise the people will spend the rest of their lives as slaves.

Its very doubt full that will happen so as they say , we are all screwed.
