Ron Paul says “We’re in for big trouble”

The Corporate media is not a real media, and it pushed buttons and lies. Just look how they got the majority of Americans to think Saddam caused 9-11. Granted Cheney and Bush said in often enough though usually in a psychologically suggestive way. I know lots of old republicons who still believe it.

In order for any conspiracy to work, the media has to be complicit. I don't share all your views, but I do believe that we don't have a real media, and that they are just propaganda arms of whoever can pay them or keep their CEOs rich and fat.

He will never be called a "traitor to his class" as Teddy Roosevelt was called.
But took from the middle and working class and gave to the already bloated parasites who brought down the economy.

The TV and Radio stations did that in preparation for the war based on a lie in Iraq. We are already half-way where you predict.
I would say our country is at least 50 percent Fascist.

the powers that be would never have let him win...

Indeed...

“When it comes to the Israeli-Arab conflict, the terms of debate are so influenced by organized Jewish groups like AIPAC that to be critical of Israel is to deny oneself the ability to succeed in American politics.” - Henry Siegman, former head of the American Jewish Congress

“I don't think there is such a thing as an independent Israel doing anything, because I think no matter what they do its our [American] money, its our weapons, and their not going to do it without us approving it and if they get into trouble we're going to bail them out, so there is no separation between the two.” - Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), Dec. 28, 2008

Yah the Eurozone is such a conspiracy. It isn't self-evident why a bunch of feudal-sized nation-states would greatly benefit from a single monetary policy (they still all control their own fiscal policies independently ). Which is why we must come up with a bizarre mind control fantasy to account for it. And boy, the UK sure has done really well by staying off the Euro!

"Soon we're going to have to fight to keep our liberties and rights."

And where have you been? Have you been sleeping for the past several years?

Anyway, it doesn't really matter. You can ring the alarm, spread the news and paint all the pictures you want. In reality, most people are only sheep.

Sheep do what they are told. They don't "wake-up" to the reality of their situation and suddenly change their fate. They're sheep and their fate is predestined.

We are not, nor have we ever been "FREE" to do as we like. There has always been and will always be consequences for our choices.

We were all doomed at the moment of our conception, so live every moment as if it were your last.

If your parent is an American citizen, regardless of where you are born, you are an American citizen. I used to do Income taxes and that is the law about determining citizenship.
If I was born to an American mother, regardless of where, I am an American.
He is eligible. Its just BS. Nothing but BS.

Other challenges also have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. Such cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.

Several details of Obama's past have added twists to the question of his eligibility and citizenship, including his family's move to Indonesia when he was a child, his travel to Pakistan in the '80s when such travel was forbidden to American citizens and conflicting reports from Obama's family about his place of birth.

His campaign posted the image of a "Certification of Live Birth" online when the questions first arose, but critics have dismissed that as irrelevant, since at the time Hawaii granted such documents to parents whose children were born outside the state.

WND has reported on two of the cases that the Supreme Court justices apparently reviewed, but refused to continue to a full hearing.

Those cases were brought by Cort Wrotnowski and Leo Donofrio. Both challenged Obama on essentially the same issue: allegations that dual citizenship based on a father who was a British subject and a mother who was an American minor disqualified him for office.

A partial listing and status update for several of the cases surrounding Obama's eligibility to serve as president is below:

* Philip J. Berg, a Pennsylvania Democrat, demanded that the courts verify Obama's original birth certificate and other documents proving his American citizenship. Supreme Court conferences on the case and its motions are scheduled Jan. 9 and 16.

* Leo Donofrio of New Jersey filed a lawsuit claiming Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court but denied a full hearing.

* Cort Wrotnowski filed suit against Connecticut's secretary of state, making a similar argument to Donofrio. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court, but was denied a full hearing.

* Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes headlines a list of people filing a suit in California, in a case on which the United States Justice Foundation is working, that asks the secretary of state to refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office. The case is pending, and lawyers are seeking the public's support.

* Chicago's Andy Martin sought legal action requiring Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle to release Obama's vital statistics record. The case was dismissed by Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Bert Ayabe.

* Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan sought a temporary restraining order to stop the Electoral College vote in North Carolina until Barack Obama's eligibility could be confirmed, alleging doubt about Obama's citizenship. His case was denied.

* In Ohio, David M. Neal sued to force the secretary of state to request documents from the Federal Elections Commission, the Democratic National Committee, the Ohio Democratic Party and Obama to show the presidential candidate was born in Hawaii. The case was denied.

* In Washington state, Steven Marquis sued the secretary of state seeking a determination on Obama's citizenship. The case was denied.

* In Georgia, Rev. Tom Terry asked the state Supreme Court to authenticate Obama's birth certificate. His request for an injuction against Georgia's secretary of state was denied by Georgia Superior Court Judge Jerry W. Baxter.

* California attorney Orly Taitz also has brought a complaint alleging Obama is not a "natural born" citizen and has written an open letter to the Supreme Court asking for the issue to be resolved.

* Pennsylvania attorney James D. Schneller is suing Pennsylvania's secretary of state, Pedro A. Cortes., to prevent transmittal of the certified electoral vote, claiming severe moral consequences and infringement upon even freedom of religion if Obama's eligibility is not established. His case is active before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

* In Washington state, attorney Stephen Pidgeon is representing 12 plaintiffs in a case that claims to have standing under a unique Washington statute that allows any registered voter to challenge the election of someone who, at the time of the election, was ineligible to hold the office. The suit intends to include a subpoena of Obama's Hawaii birth certificate. The case is scheduled for argument before the Washington Supreme Court on Jan. 8.

Last month, WND reported on the potential complications an ineligible president could create.

"Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void," argues the Alan Keyes case pending in California, "Americans will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal."

With such high stakes potentially at risk, WND earlier launched a letter campaign to contact Electoral College members and urge them to review the controversy.

That followed a campaign that sent more than 60,000 letters by overnight delivery to the U.S. Supreme Court when one case contesting Obama's eligibility for the Oval Office was pending.

A separate petition, already signed by more than 200,000 also is ongoing asking authorities in the election to seek proof Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution.

WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi had gone to both Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.

The biggest question was why, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists as his campaign has stated, Obama hasn't simply ordered it made available to settle the rumors

The governor's office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin: Does the certificate on file with the Department of Health indicate a Hawaii birth or was it generated after the Obama family registered a Kenyan birth in Hawaii?

If the guy has nothing to hide lets see the birth certificate!

Get over it, critic. your candidate LOST the election so shut up and quit yer whining.

I'm pretty sure this suit already got shot down by one if not more than one court. It won't stand now either...

He'll be sworn in shortly, quit bringing up petty technicalities that cannot even be proven.

You are correct about that.

If Texas does leave the union, and I doubt that will happen, as the south tried that and the Fed has better weapons now, so they would get creamed.
But if they did he would be the best president of Texas.
I think he is capable of changing course when necessary due to circumstances which Bush could not do.

I wonder who an independent Texas's trading partners would be, assuming they would be embargoed by the US. Cuba and Venezuela are close by.

Do You remember the Hunt Brothers? They made a run on the Silver Market to finance the secession of Texas. The Federal Government destroyed them.

Though jews might like to pretend they've been a cohesive consistently distinct group for 10,000 years (or whatever) they havn't. Although I don't know specifically how old they think they're traditions to be, most evidence puts the origin of this mother of many organized religions squarely in the Iron Age. That's 3000 to 4000 years ago, tops.

I fear you're mostly right!
But consider history, for instance, all over Europe there were constant wars going on. Seems that WW2 helped turn the humans there into more "civilized" beings. But the difference to today's war in Israel is the power of destruction. That's why i really fear you might be right.

I don't think that the new administration will be like the last, and I do think that we will have more lobbying power with them as they are not as stubborn and "set in their ways like old southerners," but practicle.
But lobby lobby lobby we must.
And probably peacefully protest.

Ignorant of history. Doomed to repeat it.

Not once have the wealthy missed the chance to profit from war. And not once has "calling your congressman" ever stopped such an agenda.

Build a bunker and lay low. You're just scaring the stiffs.

I have respect for his sane approach to American foreign policy. He is speaking truth to corrupt power.

Just what we need, instead of having any respect in the world (and our own citizens) we could be viewed as even bigger looney toons than we are already with Bush.

Think back to how the world thought of Austria in 2000 when it got a strange right-wing government.

I wanted to vote for him!
Maybe 2012

You are pretty clueless. Eat your Big mac and fries and leave the places where our troops are to the experts.

It can happen. It can happen. We have to keep lobbying the pathetic wimps who represent us and who are owned by the military industrial complex.
The crumbling economy as horrid as it is may be our chance to make changes, because people are realizing how we are being played. All the money is going to the pigs who make unnecessary war while our nation crumbles and people become poor. I don't agree with Ron on everything, but I do agree with him on foreign policy and war.

Clownpuncher, why should the US be the world's police? Also, did you vote for Bush, TWICE?

It would be nice if we could all stay home and tend to our own knitting. We tried that, if you recall. I believe the phrase was "Too proud to fight". Didn't work. Or have we forgotten Pearl Harbor? Wasn't THAT long ago.

I don't know if comparing a hostile Imperial Japan in the early 20th century to the entire planet in the early 21st century is an intelligent idea.

The comparison was to point out that if the US ignores what's going on in the rest of the world it will bite us in the butt.

You'd think they'd learn their lesson in Lebanon, similarly pre-emptive under similarly flimsy excuses.

Bush didn't start it. And Mr. Obama won't end it.

We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." - Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941) US Supreme Court Justice

Thanks for posting this quote. It is my favorite.

Israel enjoys the support of the West, but it doesn't fear making moves without it.

Israel is a defiant nation with many swords and arrows. It may or may not be JUST in its cause or method, but it is powerful enough to do as it wishes within its borders. Or the borders which it controls.

You can thank Bush for now and Obama in the future.
Either way, your going to have a lot of thanking to do.

I agree Wnoise!

since when did ron paul ever not make a comment on anything and everything...

That's true outtheinside. Remember what he did for a living? He was an a male OBGYN. A man telling a woman what to do with her body.

At least he has the guts to speak his mind.
