Ron Paul Quotes

“I'm convinced that you never have to give up liberties to be safe. I think you're less safe when you give up your liberties.”
― Ron Paul

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.”
― Ron Paul, The Revolution: A Manifesto

“Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.”
― Ron Paul

“Failure of government programs prompts more determined effort, while the loss of liberty is ignored or rationalized away...whether is it is the war on poverty, drugs, terrorism...or the current Hitler of the day, an appeal to patriotism is used to convince the people that a little sacrifice of liberty, here or there, is a small price to pay...The results, though, are frightening and will soon become even more so.”
― Ron Paul

“Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it’s realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy.”
― Ron Paul

“When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.”
― Ron Paul

“Don't steal - the government hates competition!”
― Ron Paul, End the Fed!

“It is true that liberty is not free, nor is it easy. But tyranny - even varying degrees of it - is much more difficult, and much more expensive. The time has come to rein in the federal government, put it on a crash diet, and let the people keep their money and their liberty.”
---- Ron Paul

“Ideas are very important to the shaping of society. In fact, they are more powerful than bombings or armies or guns. And this is because ideas are capable of spreading without limit. They are behind all the choices we make. They can transform the world in a way that governments and armies cannot. Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me than fighting with guns or politics or political power. With ideas, we can make real change that lasts.”
― Ron Paul, Liberty Defined: The 50 Urgent Issues That Affect Our Freedom

What To Make Of It All

As WW3 Seems to be in the near future, there are to many signs pointing to things going bad, but as of the last four days, I am noticing this change going on in other individuals as well. The positive gears are finally spinning in the right direction, meaning the shift has begun. The 1% will become the 99%, karma is catching up to people right now, and they are beginning to realize what the value of each living being is when we are being manipulated by a handful who are collectively working harmoniously to achieve "a perceived" greatness.

Debt?? Who?? Join the Club, Or Not.

    For the last twelve years I have grown more and more concerned about our Government, and the way they run us into a financial doomsday every couple years.  How have we not revolted yet, and asked them to at least give us a detailed description of where our tax money gets spent?  And why are they spending more than they make each year, thinking that they will escape the inevitable bankruptcy.  What are we to do, if China wishes to come Collect on the nearly 2 Trillion dollars they loaned to us, so we could pay the richest people in the world a bunch of money that just got stacked in banks, and folded and placed inside their already overstuffed wallet.
    There is a sense that the Government isn't following the ideals they are preaching.  Wasn't it about a year and a half ago, that President Obama told us that it wouldn't be easy, that Americans would have to learn to live with less credit?  Aren't they Americans too??  They are financing a war that should have never been started in IRAQ.  What are we still doing there?  They have all stated that we had no evidence to support our invasion, so why haven't we left?
    The United States is no longer the great economical power that it once was, we are just giving away all of our resources to fund some ideas and research them.  For instance there is a Grant with a ceiling as high as 3 million dollars, for someone willing to research Sea Snails off the coast of Alaska.  Try to figure out this grant:

Description

The NIH Directors New Innovator (DP2) Award program was created in 2007 to support a small number of early stage investigators of exceptional creativity who propose bold and highly innovative new research approaches that have the potential to produce a major impact on broad, important problems in biomedical and behavioral research. The New Innovator Awards complement ongoing efforts by NIH and its Institutes and Centers to fund early stage investigators through R01 grants, which continue to be the major sources of NIH support for early stage investigators. The NIH Directors New Innovator Award Program is a High-Risk Research initiative of the Common Fund.






Really? They are going to award 33 people a total of $80,000,000. Although Health Research is a good investment, this is clearly absurd. I mean what are they going to expect in Return, a classified document? Now add another $80 Million in the Red. Who is responsible for this totally irresponsible spending without any type of return?
