Ask

Ask why Billions of your tax dollars are spent on a firm of hired mercenaries (Blackwater) that will remain even after the so-called democratically elected government has asked to leave (and it’s a travesty that they get paid better than our own fighting forces).

Ask where your National Guard is...and why. (while you are at it, ask how supplied and funded they are for their primary purpose)

Ask why money through lobbyists and large corporations seems to rule all in a supposedly honest, free democracy.

Ask why my mother’s property values have dropped too low to allow her to retire (with no optimism in the near future).

Ask why the government is so far in debt that it appears incapable of digging its way out.

Ask why we have so many homeless vets and children in the streets while sending billions of dollars to Israel each and every year.

Ask virtually anything about Israel (keeping in mind you will likely be branded anti-Semitic)

Ask virtually anything about depleted uranium.

Ask why our schools get so little funding when they are so essential.

Ask almost anything about out-sourcing or what the U.S. actually makes in its entirety these days.

Ask why Central banks across the world are unloading their US dollar reserves.

Ask why nobody seems to want to investigate why three steel frame buildings collapsed in their footprints at almost free fall speed in the same day when it has never happened to even one before or since (outside of controlled demolition).

Ask why every presidential signature these days erodes, or more honestly, ignores the very document that the country is based on (the Constitution).

Ask why Ron Paul is actively ignored by mainstream media when he scores very well in nearly every straw poll.

Ask why the Democrates have basically done nothing they promised before they were elected even though they hold a majority of both houses.

Ask why we no longer follow the Geneva Conventions.

Ask why our soldiers are required to spend longer times with fewer breaks in a war that was based on Al’Qaida ties that even our government now says didn’t exist, weapons of mass destruction that weren’t there (the falsification of “evidence” has also been proven), and the promises that we would be greeted as liberators. (absolutely no disrespect to anyone willing to fight and die for our country intended on this one)

Ask why it’s so hard to fly anywhere these days (and it’s gonna get worse).

Ask weather you are safer today than you were ten years ago.

Now replace “ask” with “do a little research on”. Not as easy, but man, what you will learn!

Time to wake up before its too late.

Here’s a good way to start: Read the Declaration of Independence to get a mind frame. Then really read the Constitution. The next step would be to check to see what parts of that wonderful document are no longer being adhered to (I have more than a few places for you to check if you need them....but looking for yourself will help you understand much more fully). After that, work your way through the rest.

No small amount of work, I admit, But the entire world can benefit. No kidding! You plus another 100 million or so and things would begin to change for the better everywhere.

Ron Paul

I haven't posted anything here in ages. Now I'm going to do this...11 days before leaving the country for ten days. The next post may not be until I return.

Ron Paul.

Who would have ever imagined me in awe of a Republican presidential candidate?! Not me!!

This guy is beyond amazing. He stood on a stage with nearly every other GOP candidate and boldly stated that wars abroad are not the answer and that we should lead by example rather than force (at least when he was allowed to speak at all). Every other candidate was talking about how using atomic weapons in Iran was an option. This is a man that stands up for (and votes) his beliefs. He is also the one person running for president I know of (I haven't really check this one out thoroughly) that hasn't accepted any money from AIPAC or the other Israel-based lobbyists (AIPAC is currently embroiled in a case of spying against the U.S. and yet nearly every candidate on both sides has nevertheless accepted huge contributions from this organization, fully aware that this is the situation).

The media is pointedly ignoring Dr. Paul. He is rarely mentioned despite his wild popularity on the internet. Many polls show him to have won both debates by a fair margin (only the ones not rigged). A recent poll has him a close second behind Thompson. Anyone see THAT on the news?

His own party avoids him like the plague and reportedly has asked him not run as a Republican. That makes me like him even more. The fact that he is not liked by the MSM (Main Stream Media) is just one more reason to love the guy. Keep in mind that the MSM played a huge role in our current clusterf#%$k in Iraq and is now working hard (with their buddies/bosses in this administration) on Iran. The same people that would rather tranquilize you with Paris Hilton stories than report on what's really going on in the world would rather you not know about Dr. Paul.

Here is an archive of Ron Paul speeches and articles. If you care about America and direction things have been going, please look at Dr. Paul's views. Far more than any other politician I've studied in years, this man speaks my own thoughts. That he is so disliked by his own party and MSM means there is little realistic chance he will be elected unless there are millions of people like me. People that really read, think...and vote!

This is one of the best sites I've found for a concise listing of speeches and articles in one click. It comes courtesy of LewRockwell.com. Congressman Ron Paul: Archives

Please give Congressman Paul a look. See what he has said, how he has voted, and his thoughts on how the U.S. should be run. Bring back to the executive branch someone that truly believes in the Constitution.

If you like what you see, spread the word! Mr. Rockwell is more than happy to have you send the link above to as many people as you like (I actually asked permission before posting it).

Ron Paul. A thinking person's president. A patriot's president! Let's bring the United States back to respected and admired world leader it would be now if it were lead as our founders intended.
