Ron Paul - a CFR member?

Question to Ron Paul:
"Now, I've met a lot of your supporters online, but I've noticed that a good number of them seem to buy into this conspiracy theory regarding the Council on Foreign Relations and some plan to make a North American Union by merging the United States with Canada and Mexico. These supporters of yours seem to think that you also believe in this theory.

"So my question to you is, do you really believe in all this, or are people just putting words in your mouth?"


Answer:
"Well, that all depends on what you mean by "all of this." The CFR exists. The Trilateral Commission exists. And it's a, quote, "conspiracy of ideas." This is an ideological battle. Some people believe in globalism. Others of us believe in national sovereignty.

"And there is a move on toward a North American Union, just like early on there was am move on for a European Union, and it eventually ended up — so we had NAFTA and moving toward a NAFTA highway. These are real things. It's not somebody made these up. It's not a conspiracy. They don't talk about it, and they might not admit about it, but there's been money spent on it. There was legislation passed in the Texas legislature unanimously to put a hold on it. They're planning on millions of acres taken by eminent domain for an international highway from Mexico to Canada, which is going to make the immigration problem that much worse.

"So it's not so much a secretive conspiracy.... [I]t's not so much it's a sinister conspiracy; it's just knowledge is out there. If we look for it, you'll realize that our national sovereignty is under threat."

what does cfr stand for

[jakoxn]

@DrinkSkateSleep Council on Foreign Relations. 

[Hackiesacker007]

He's the only candidate who actually ANSWERS the question.

Obama and McCain dance around the questions.

I never get tired of listening to Ron Paul. The other politicians are lightyears behind him - unfortunately.

Thanks for posting.

revolution of jfk

[wunderbeast]

classy answer! i think on some other program some msnbc commentator asked him if so and so could be president and ron responded with something like, "sure, anyone can be president!" ron paul 2012

[clubcalichad20]

ok thank god i thought he wasnt going to answer the question. Thank god hes not a member

[focalx9]

I'd be worried with either candidate. Neither will really institute policy which will correct America. Obama has some expensive things he wants to get done, the money will have to come from either indirect/direct taxation and McCain has already made up his mind to continue and expand war inititiatives which aren't free either. He makes the vetoing of earmarks sound like Americas only vice.

focalx9, Ron Paul does have a chance of becoming the next President. I'd be more afraid of Obama, Tony Rezko, Will Ayers, Communist Party, Socialist policies, far left winger ideas and trying to buy us Socialized medicine when Freddie Mac just crashed in flames. Some of you guys make no sense sometimes.

Unfortuantely, too many Americans dont like RP. I can agree with the history; Lincoln, Jackson tried to get rid of our fiat currency and I think JFKs secret socities speech might have did him in. I don't think a second revolution has to lead to another worse government. If a 2nd revolution ever happened its all up to the people to make the next system work; so it could go either way. I cant see the views of a McCain/Palin ticket resonating with the views of the libertarian.

[blicksflicks]

focal, I like Ron Paul, too. Who doesn't? What American doesn't like Ron Paul? But, let's face it. If he became our President, he wouldn't live through five months in office. They'd kill him, focal. These rich bankers in the Federal Reserve? He's be dead. Look what happened to Jackson, Lincoln and Kennedy? It's not a perfect world. These things will happen. It would take violent Second Revolution to even break away, and if that happened, another worse government would come and enslave us.
