The Truth About Ron Paul - Part 2

NewsMax said:

]Presidential candidate Ron Paul has vowed never to vote for an increase in the debt limit during an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV.

The Texas Republican congressman says his fellow politicians cannot be trusted with the money they have at their disposal, so he will not agree to give them more.

When asked what it would take for him to agree to increase the limit, Paul responded, “I would never agree to up it. I just think they should quit spending.

“But how can you expect them to? Are they going to promise to cut in the next five years? They’ve tried that before many times, and they’re not trustworthy,” Paul said during an interview at the Faith and Freedom conference in Washington, D.C., last weekend.

Despite talk of cuts, the obligations of the Federal Government will increase by $5 trillion this year alone when entitlements, deficits, and the money borrowed from Social Security are taken into account, he said.

“We’ve embarked on a horrible course. And they say, ‘not raising the debt limit, isn’t this a major crisis?’ Yeah, it’s a significant problem, but what is much worse is to continue to spend.

“If you raise the debt limit and you don’t really cut spending, then you get into a major crisis, which is a dollar crisis — and that’s a lot worse than biting the bullet and living within our means.”

Paul pointed out that he had lost congressional battles that would have ensured that money cannot be transferred between budgets. “Many, many years ago, I had a bill in that refused to allow the Congress ever to spend any of the money that’s allotted for Medicare or Social Security,” he said.

“But, no, they take it and they spend it and all the money is all gone.”

Now, he said, Medicare is “probably not salvageable,” adding, “It’ll go as our foreign policy will go once we have runaway inflation and the dollar doesn’t work.”

The eight-term congressman’s gloomy assessment even included fellow Republican Rep. Paul Ryan’s plan to rein in the budget. “I don’t think it does much” he said. “In the next 10 years, you cut some trillions of dollars, a little bit less. It’s a little bit more cutting than the Democrats.”

But he said the reaction to the Ryan plan proved that Washington is not serious about making cuts.

“He’s getting a bum rap. He trying to make an honest effort, and I have great sympathy for what he’s doing but it’s not that much.

“This tells me how bad things are because anybody making even a token effort, look at the anger that comes out and the bad-mouthing and the demagoguing. That’s why we’re not going to have cuts.

Paul insisted that failure to raise the debt ceiling and allowing the country to default on its debt are not necessarily bad things. “We’re defaulting continuously. We’ve defaulted many times in the past. All governments default,” he said.

“Right now, there’s a default going on because there’s inflation and the default is on the people because their cost of living is going up and they’re losing their jobs. So the default is there.”

205. Ron Paul: I’m Running Against Keynes


http://www.lewrockwell.com/lewrockwell-show/2011/06/08/205-ron-paul-im-running-against-keynes/


Ron Paul in conversation with Lew Rockwell.
Forget the other cookie-cutter candidates. Ron Paul is challenging the economics of government power and dollar destruction, as exemplified by John Maynard Keynes. He wants to reverse Nixon’s dictat, that "we are all Keynesians now," and make that "Austrians." He also finds new support for his exposure of Fed abuses, and opposition to the Christian right theology of endless war.

So basically anyone who votes for Ron Paul is a racist white bastard, who hates minorities and equality.. So, since I am white, do I get 'get out of jail free' cards or something? Where do I pick them up? Am I white regardless of the color of my skin? I am new to this white thing, how does it work? Do I have to turn in the 'oh pity me, Im black' card now?

The Raising of a President

The second volume in Doug Wead's twenty year, ongoing trilogy on the first families. It offers an account of the lives of the parents of our chief executives and is a companion book to the instant New York Times bestseller All the Presidents' Children.

Using presidential letters and personal correspondence -- as well as notes from his own private conversations with six presidential families -- Doug Wead brilliantly portrays the early lives, loves, and political awakenings of George Washington; John Adams and the rest of America's first dynasty; Lincoln, who never betrayed his humble roots; Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, each raised in prominent political households; and the once and future commanders in chief Bush.

John Stewart On the Daily Show this week said:

“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart offered advice to Texas Rep. Ron Paul Monday night, saying the potential Republican presidential candidate should “compromise his principles.”“The Daily Show” host showed of clip of Mr. Paul, a potential presidential candidate, pushing for support of closing secret military prisons and withdrawing troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
“What are you doing?” Mr. Stewart asked. “This is a weak Republican field. All you have to do is compromise your libertarian principles a little bit.”
The bit comes as Mr. Paul launched a $1 million “money bomb” earlier this month. Mr. Paul recently announced the formation of a presidential exploratory committee, noting that he remains undecided in regards to whether he plans to enter the 2012 Republican campaign.

Ron Paul to appear again on Stephen Colbert's show(Preview) said:

This Week on The Colbert Report: Ron Paul

Tonight, a relatively-unknown doctor, congressperson, presidential candidate, author of the book Liberty Defined and point man for a new libertarian movement in America named Ron Paul will be Stephen's guest on The Report. Despite the fact that pretty much nobody has ever heard of this guy ever, he's apparently somehow managed to be on the show twice already, as well as two other times on The Daily Show. Weird, huh?
Then, on Tuesday, A.C. Grayling author of The Good Book sits down with Stephen. On Wednesday, another notable author named Ice-T stops by to discuss his new book Ice. And Thursday will bring Wade Graham, who will discuss his own book American Eden. Books. People sure do like writing them.
