Nobody in Washington wants to hear us complain about how they continue to legislate against the Constitution, so what do you do? Check this out... I heard about this through a Libertarian meetup.com group I subscribe to in Ventura CA. http://www.givemeliberty.org/revolution/ Don't be deceived by the word "revolution". We're not taking guns to the White House or anything crazy like that (although even typing those words on a blog will probably put me on some watch list somewhere). This is about a Continental Congress. The kind of painstaking, critical review of the Gov't by it's citizens, and a formal declaration that we want these Constitutional infringements addressed, and fixed immediately. It's a line in the sand basically, saying Americans are over here, and you, the Government aren't playing by the best set of rules God (however you think of Him) could give us. -Aaron Dear Lost American, I know exactly how you feel.

Don’t be deceived by the word “revolution”. We’re not taking guns to the White House or anything crazy like that (although even typing those words on a blog will probably put me on some watch list somewhere).

I can say this though, the people spending more than they have isn't exaclty our fault, it took many years of planning for this to happen. We were enabled to do this for good reason. Do you think any of the original members of the Fed could forsee this happening? It's a joke once you know when the seed was planted. I just hope my 401K holds it's own in this tough time...Oh wait! It's with J.P. Morgan...it will be fine...lol History seemed really boring in school, but know it's light has changed, to all who have any doubt about Dr. Paul's ideas, pick up a book, read about our nations economic history, it tells tales of which were living today.......

They saw eye to eye on quite a few things, and had a mutual respect. Reagan believed that Libertarian values were at the core of the republican party, and that folks like Paul were a very necessary voice that needs to be heard in Govt. It's well documented. Reagan's been quoted several times speaking kindly about Ron Paul. Talk about not doing your research! Here's a crowbar, use it on the foot stuck in your mouth... DOH!

WE (those who subscribe here, and prescribe to Libertarian ideals) believe that the system (the current one) has failed, it's just not being allowed to grind to a screeching halt. No, instead, our two party system (which is really just one party I like to call the Corporate Party) is going to take our 10 TRILLION in debt, and infuse that with another 2 TRILLION in financial "stimulus", because what better cure for debt than MORE DEBT!?!?!

The "REAL American" comment wasn't meant to be interpreted as something akin to Bob Segar singing "like a rock" for Chevy, but it IS rhetorical, but not related to free market econ. What I meant is that American's (in the Founding Fathers' eyes) are self reliant. Being self reliant doesn't guarantee wealth beyond your wildest dreams, nor even the security of a retirement of some kind, (nor health care for that matter), but it DOES guarantee that you have the OPPORTUNITY to exercise your freedom to the extent that your intellect, determination, and success strategy will allow, and that whatever happens, you can't blame it on anyone else (nor can anyone else steal your thunder if you DO reinvent the wheel and retire fat and gold plated). With Gov't sucking close to 40% of my income, I can't say that my lack of a yacht in the harbor is 100% my fault, I've had help to NOT get rich if you know what I mean.

I know 'long term' he was totally right (as everyone here seems to agree), but man, you peeps ever do your research? Ron Paul, circa terrible call. Not only did he not see volcker, but he failed to see Reagan? Soooo Volcker broke the back of inflation, where was the free market then? Oh wait, it was getting ready to screw over someone else? Or maybe be more efficient! Check out his paper FROM 1981: "Impending Social Strife? The greatest threat facing middle and working class Americans is our depreciating paper currency." "We probably will see widespread civil disorder in the 1980s, as a direct result of our faltering economic system." Man, OMG the 80's were terrible, fraught with "widespread civil disorder".

Ron Paul, circa terrible call. Not only did he not see volcker, but he failed to see Reagan? Soooo Volcker broke the back of inflation, where was the free market then? Oh wait, it was getting ready to screw over someone else? Or maybe be more efficient!

Check out his paper FROM 1981:

“Impending Social Strife?
The greatest threat facing middle and working class Americans
is our depreciating paper currency.”

“We probably will see widespread civil disorder in the 1980s,
as a direct result of our faltering economic system.”

Man,

OMG the 80’s were terrible, fraught with “widespread civil disorder”. That was soooooo prescient. Thanks for admitting your prescience, or lack thereof. Or even any humility. At all.

Two decades later.
