Ron Paul: The title to my special order tonight is ‘Current Conditions or Just a Bad Dream’.
Could it all be a bad dream or a nightmare? Is it my imagination or have we lost our minds?
It’s surreal, it’s just not believable.
A grand absurdity, a great deception, a delusion of momentous proportions based on preposterous notions and on ideas whose time should never have come.
Simplicity, grossly distorted and complicated.
Insanity, passed off as logic.
Grandiose schemes built on falsehoods with the morality of Ponzi and Madoff.
Evil described as virtue.
Ignorance pawned off as wisdom.
Destruction and impoverishment in the name of humanitarianism.
Violence, the tool of change.
Preventive wars used as the road to peace.
Tolerance delivered by government guns.
Reactionary views in the guise of progress.
An empire replacing the republic.
Slavery sold as liberty.
Excellence and virtue traded for mediocrity.
Socialism to save capitalism.
A government out of control, unrestrained by the constitution, the rule of law or morality. Bickering over petty politics as we descend into chaos. The philosophy that destroys us is not even defined.
We have broken from reality a psychotic nation. Ignorance with a pretense of knowledge replacing wisdom. Money does not grow on trees, nor does prosperity come from a government printing press or escalating deficits.
We are now in the midst of unlimited spending of the people’s money. Exorbitant taxation, deficits of trillions of dollars spent on a failed welfare-warfare system. An epidemic of cronyism. Unlimited supplies of paper money equated with wealth. A central bank that deliberately destroys the value of the currency in secrecy, without restraint, without nary a whimper, yet cheered on by the pseudo-capitalists of Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, and Detroit.
We police our world empire with troops on 700 bases and in 130 countries around the world. A dangerous war now spreads throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. Thousands of innocent people being killed as we become known as the torturers of the 21st century.
We assume that by keeping the already known torture pictures from the public’s eye, we will be remembered only as a generous and good people. If our enemies want to attack us only because we are free and rich, proof of torture would be irrelevant.
The sad part of all this is that we have forgotten what made America great, good and prosperous. We need to quickly refresh our memories and once again reinvigorate our love, understanding and confidence in liberty.
The status quo cannot be maintained considering the current conditions. Violence and lost liberty will result without some revolutionary thinking. We must escape from the madness of crowds now gathering.
The good news is that reversal is achievable through peaceful and intellectual means, and fortunately the number of those who care are growing exponentially.
Of course it could all be a bad dream, a nightmare, and that I’m seriously mistaken, overreacting, and that my worries are unfounded. I hope so. But just in case, we ought to prepare ourselves for revolutionary changes in the not-too-distant future.
I yield back the balance of my time.

You can blame hospitals, schools, etc. But it all boils down to Why These places have failed the Amerian people. It is government involvement. Hospital cost esculate due to STUPID regulation put on them by Gov. Schools stopped teaching to educatate our kids because of Government involvemnet. More stupid regulations That did nothing but dumb down our schools and prevent teachers from teaching, Hospitals from delivering the care needed. We are “destroying” other countries becasue “other countries are bombing us! REMEMBER? You truly should not forget.
We have kicked the one Thing out of this country that it needs the most.. God ..Jesus Christ. The glue that held us together was removed. Now….we have what the amoral folks wanted. No one to point out the wrong. No one to prevent them from rapeing babies, killing their familes to move somthing better. No one to say that maybe you should not do that thing that causes moral decay. We have thrown out all the good so we could live as we wanted and invited a government to take control of us because we are BY FAR to stupid to monitor ourselves. Moral decay. Government control. we have just what we asked. for .. Commmunism. Now relax and enjoy..

Life truly can be backwards, thats for sure.
We pay government to help and protect us, all they do is destroy/enslave us.
We pay hospitals and insurance to make sure we can be safe from diseases/injuries, all they do is cause more harm or rob us.
We go to school to learn and get better education, half the schools graduate kids who cant even read properly.
We preach non-violence in our society, yet we Bomb and destroy other countries and ruin lives daily.
We try to end the war on drugs, all we do is escalate it… and keep it that way.
Sometimes i do think life is just a bad dream.
