.. Thank you Ron Paul for your service.
God bless you and your family
Still relevant today
Ron Paul, Respect!
Ron Paul reminds me a lot of Pres. John. F. Kennedy, both are true and free thinkers both stand on principals both speak out against the global conspiracy.
And why isnt this man the president of the US?
I have no idea
@@charleyhibschweiler4555 If presidents were elected, he would've been president. The only reason he isn't is because they're selected, not elected
we are, as a whole, incapable of thinking and caring this deep. Paul is not the answer, but he has started making some people think.
I just watched "Valley of Elah" and I had no idea that our troops are coming home with Post Tramatic Stress Disorder (like the Vietnam Vets) and no one is helping them with the crap that they went through and saw over there. BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!
Yeah. If America were thinking this man would be president.
Which is the lesser of evils?
Those who "will not" see?
Those who "will not" hear?
Those who may hear but "will not" listen?
Or, perhaps those who "will not" speak out about injustice, corruption, greed, graft,
obscene misuse of power, TREASON?
(choose all that apply) Is this what America means to you?
is CZcams censoring this video? Why is it not working? I keep getting "An error occurred, please try again later". My internet works and all the other videos are working. Error my ass.
actually, we never declared war on Iraq, AND congress approved military action against Iraq in 2002.
so maybe you should let someone from America, who is an American citizen, handle his own politics.
indeed
@SAOTUBE Yeah I don't know, it's doing the same thing on my computer. shame I really want to watch this.
Or just refrain from preemptive strikes against anyone unless the threat is legitmate and the decleration a legal one that has been approved. The more we get involved with foreign problems, the more we sink deeper into economic turmiol and international threats. We can do all that we can to prevent proliferation, but the truth is is that the more we try to take these weapons away from other countries, the more likely it is that they will use them. They only want them for defense.
Unfortunately, the modern Republican Party, and the modern Democratic Party for that matter, does not reward caution, though; nor see it as a virtue, but rather a weakness. Gone are the days of a formal congressional "Declaration of War." In fact, the U.S. has now acted without express congressional military authorization on 125 separate occasions; a list that continues to grow.
When will it end?
Vote Ron Paul 2012
5:15 tomorrow, next week, a month, a year... it's going to happen. And you bet you're sweet cheeks they ain't gonna stop at tearing this nation into little pieces.
I am sorry if this offends. I realize that a lot of people resort to insults to prove their points on youtube. My thoughts are simple observations. The US did nothing about the situation in Zimbabwe or Russia's occupation of Georgian Lands. it is one thing to talk, it is another to act. Why only act on weaker nations. If you are policing the world then it should be indiscriminate. Georgia and North Korea are bigger threats than little Iran. Be brave and remove these threats before fighting Iran
I agree that war is not good but didn't ww2 bring America into economic prosperity
That was a real war. These proxy wars do not have the same effect because it’s prolonged. Look at us now. We have constantly been at war. Are we any more prosperous?
Nah.
ALL HAIL IMPERIAL AMERICA
1954 - Present
I would vote for ron paul before a republican. A dem isnt even a runner up.
Eh, Obama is not a constitutional politician. Just look at how how voted on FISA, disregarding the 4th amendment...
I respectfully disagree with you but I hope that you will put progressives feet to the fire when they don't do what they've been elected to do and that we can work together to solve these things.
While I was campaigning for Dr. Paul I had epic battles with Obama people over philosophic points but they never realized that he is just another spineless dem who will stomp civil liberties too.
He has some OK points, but why do presisential candidates have to be so old? This guy is just as old as McCain! I'd vote for Obama simply because he probably won't die in office!
Yes, of course. I didn't think of that. Anyway, I hope Obama gets Hillary as VP candidate. A winning team for sure! :)
