Spring Break
Bring Ron Paul back
Adam Brown
Issue date: 9/5/08 Section: Opinion
This is a call to all lovers of peace, prosperity, private property, personal freedoms and liberty. No longer can we as Americans let media and government officials dictate what happens in America. A more active role needs to take place in the form of protests, petitioning government officials, interests in local and federal government affairs and researching what is actually going on.
For example, Georgia attacked South Ossetia and Russia came to their defense. The White House and the mainstream media tell us that Russia is the aggressor and that we are going to punish them.
Recently, the Pentagon lost $2.3 trillion. Let's not also forget the fact that vice-president candidate Joe Biden "met with Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence Chief General Mahmoud Ahmad on Sept. 13, 2001. General Ahmad instructed Omar Saeed Sheikh earlier that summer to wire Mohammed Atta, one of the Sept. 11 highjackers $100,000. The general also met with Pentagon officials, the White House National Security Council and CIA officials a week before Sept. 11," according to Paul Watson. Funders of terrorism meet with government officials and nothing is said or done anywhere.
Former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration Robert Bonner has gone public, saying the CIA, aka Cocaine Importing Agency "has helped smuggle in tons of cocaine because of the money." Recently, a CIA connected jet crashed in Mexico with 4 tons of cocaine. Again, Americans are the best entertained and least informed.
Turn off the TV and turn on your mind. Think, question and research everything that is told to you. Do not ignore, but explore what's happening.
Every year, America's police state escalates. We are being told that it's in our best interests to give up our liberty for security in many forms such as illegal wiretaps on phones and e-mails. It is illegal and unconstitutional to do this without a warrant, as stated by the Fourth Amendment. We are made to believe that torture (which John McCain voted for) is humane and that the Patriot Act is in America's best interests. Obama wants a "national security force… as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces" in America. Ask a history professor what generally happens when the military becomes the police.

Absolutely! Wake up America! Our country's most dangerous enemy isn't terrorism or middle east fanatics, it isn't any political party, or even the media. (Continued…)

We need Ron Paul as President. It is really as simple as that. Of course, the NeoCon's would probably take him out just like they did JFK if Dr. Paul were to sneak up from behind and take the election. (Continued…)

Excellent article; any time I turn on tv "news" I can't even imagine what it would be like to be limited to controlled media for "information".
Anyone who followed Ron Paul's campaign for the past year will never be able to return to that fakery. (Continued…)

I think it's important to stand right back from the situation and to take a whole perspective . The thing is that the USA is owned .
How did this come about ? - the USA - government and people ran up huge debt . (Continued…)

Well, here's one person who disagrees not with your thesis but with your opinion of Doctor Paul:
