Ron Paul On Health Care & Tea Parties 3/19/2010 CNN

Because people are TIRED of statism slavery! They are tired of the big government wars, the big government wiretapping, the big government protectionism for wall street and government bureaucrats, the big government Patriot Act, the big government war on drugs, the big government EVERYTHING! How anyone can say America is "free" today complete blows me away!

The Keynesians and Neocons are all alike, they just want to steal your money at gun point and spend it on different things. This isn't conservatism and if you had any idea of what conservatism stood for you would not call this conservatism, it has NOTHING to do with limiting government. The republicans use the neocon voters as pawns in the streets, not as educational tools.

People are tired of slavery! You can keep your DEA, SEC, FDA, FED, DHS, TSA, ABC, 123, ETC......

Free my people! Let us make our own decisions and quit pointing guns at everybody if we don't comply with your order! We are sovereign individuals, not your serfs!

hey dude i agree on a lot of those things, but we have to have a balance between society and industry at least if we're engaging in the monetary system. Here's a scenario
say we wipe out the government somehow, restart the nation from zero except now we have a clear free market economy with no intervention. How long do you think it would be before we ended up back where we are today? how long before some free enterprising people form a monopoly and then a cartel with other influential businessmen to retake the country in a plutocratic manner?
The free market sounds nice on paper, but it only gives birth to a plutocracy.
Have you read the works of Plato by any chance? particularly the state

You offer a multitude of passionate things you wish to eliminate. Do you have any solutions to offer or just more rants?

Haha, Those ARE solutions, just not the solutions you want because it takes your right to control other people away!

How would these businesses get tax loopholes, barriers to entry to driver out competition, tariff pressures small businesses cannot afford/protectionism,........

The Corporatist sector we are in today is actually a GOVERNMENT BACKED corporatist sector. The lobbyists go to D.C. to lobby for measures that will benefit them, just like when Wal-Mart supported minimum wage to hurt Target.

Just look at your precious SEC, the ones you want to give more power to now! They BACKED UP Madoff for 17 years, gave him the green stamp and actually PUSHED investors towards him. You really believe the lie that they can regulate every transaction? They back up more fraud then they catch!

Free markets equals personal freedoms, oligarchy is derived through tyranny.

We must ALWAYS push for personal choice and freedom over bureaucratic and politicians slavery!

Government is coercion, not charity, not kindness.

Don't send IRS, DEA,....agents into my neighbors house/small business in my name! Don't make them go through my families checkbook! Stop allowing the government to rape our freedoms and to help big business!

The free market is pro consumer, pro peace,pro technological growth and pro sanity.

People look to government like religion......the congregation's in D.C., the preachers are the politicians, and the ritual is legislation......freedom of religion! Keep me out of your congregation!

Not really shanklinmike, the only solution you offer is "Let us make our own decisions"..you call the end of the Patriot Act, you want to disolve the DEA, SEC, FDA, DHS, TSA..etc, etc. Who is going be respondible for the national security, national health (which I admit is a joke). Then end of "big government" which I assume a massive reduction in the Federal's Governments control over State rights.....I agree with you about Corporate welfare is an insult to the working class and poor alike. Your also right about Neocons pretending to be conservative and using fear tatics to achieve their politic goals. Many things in the Federal Government need a massive overhaul and some programs and practices need to be simply abolished. But, your naive if you believe something more sinster won't fill the power vaccumm left behind. The nation will be plunged into chaos and anarchy. You might have the intelligence and wisdom to be self-sufficent but the average American needs help and guidance. Even though I disagree with much of what you believe, I respect your passion and eloquence in attempting to get your message out there.

I do agree with him on a lot of what he says, but the way he latches to the Constitution like its the Holy Bible gives me doubts.

What do you hate about individual rights, a noninterventionist foreign policy, civil liberties, and economic freedom?

We don't have any of this left, why would a change towards REAL Liberty be bad? (As long as the neocons don't take control)

Our country is bankrupt...no one wants to admit it.....

Where did I say "hate" in my post?

Which founding father explained that the constitution was written to protect negative rights? did they even have such a 'concept' back then? It seams kinda of a vain and redundant concept to me. as my math teacher explained: substraction is just adding the negative. i will need you to clarify your concept of 'negative vs positive' rights; and why positive rights should not be protected. would freedom to petition be a 'positive right'? what about freedom of trial by jury? I doubt very much that minarchist scum model anything even resembling the original and progresive america that was created by the founding fathers. centrist Libertarians like myself keep encouraging slavery?? i had always believed that was a task left to the paleoconservative anarchists. odd however, that had it not been for progresives, our state of existance would much more rotten. I do admit that Ron Paul is not likely 'anti-feminist', i was using such hyperbole to demonstrate that his great pondering to the con-wing had made him trip of words and piss on our great constitution which leaves the deplorable tradition of false/vain unions, not to its beautiful pages but to other phasets of our fedaral system which would so like to interfere and restrict the life and liberty of others(States and Courts). Other than what i have already stated, i must also admit that i have no idea where you are going with your last three paragraphs. How is paying taxes for rodes you do not and will not use a "slave system"? or being required to have auto insurance a "slave system"? In fact, what the hell are you talking about?

It's all government backed corporatism, everybody just calls it different things....

In the end, the bureaucrats win and the People lose even more freedom, just like we have been doing for 60 years....
