Comments on: Obama Is Preparing Us For Perpetual War http://www.ronpaul.com/2009-12-05/obama-is-preparing-us-for-perpetual-war/ Ron Paul is America's leading voice for limited, constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. The Ron Paul Revolution continues.

Every presidential term, the US invades another country, regardless of which party holds power over which house. On the rare occasion when they overthrow a dictatorship and bring in a nominal-democracy, it's big news, when they overthrow a democratically elected government, the media barely covers it and when they do they act like it's an internal matter and US troops just happen to be around to "fight terror" or "drug lords" or whatever excuse they pick. If anything, Obama's time in office might be about winding down the perpetual war, making nice with the global prison state that's been built one country at a time and is pretty much finished and their ready to finish locking it all up.

You're the only real, educated and qualified candidate who can help turn this country around. Please don't leave us with someone like Sarah Palin or any of the other sheep who care more about their own popularity than they do about the American people. Ron Paul/Rand Paul 2012

Remember the words of the woman after the London tube bombings,"I will give up my liberty so I can be free." Meaning she would give up everything so she would not have to suffer from terrorism ,or the threat of dying.

Dr. Paul needs to build some sort of consensus with one of these two or he won't stand a chance in 2012. If you read Palin's book you will find out that Huck and Palin are two peas in a pod when it comes to faith. Guess what? There is nothing wrong with that! Ron Paul needs to emphasize that Palin and Huck don't have a monopoly on Christian values and that he himself represents those same values. If he does that then he'll have a chance to win.

Experience of a lifetime!!!! He is by far the only one in any government arena that really gets "IT". His battle against THE FED and Bernanke have been on the highlight reels on you-tube for many years. The list of anti-Constitutional workings are many, such as the federal and state income tax system, IRS, printing of fiat currency to pay our debts, wars that go on forever and ever with out end; 170 bases in over 130 countries;(we're not an Empire, right?) trying to federalize health care which is unconstitutional, but who cares? We have a State of Iowa legislator who has said that we don't do anything that is Constitutional anymore, so what is the big deal? To hell with that!!!!!! We need to replace everyone from Loebsback in Iowa all the way up to the President with those who will defend the CONSTITUTION WITH HONOR AND RESPECT, and to uphold Natural Law that is above any of man's law, that is totally inadequate to govern in a free society. Remember, economic freedom is one of the cornerstones of Constitutional Liberty. My family had the opportunity to meet Dr. Paul in Ames, IA a few weeks ago. Experience of a lifetime!!!!

However, as you might know, the Federal Reserve System is audited each and every year by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). In addition, the Federal Reserve releases its balance figures every week." Senator Franken's belief is that we are already auditing the FED, and no further investigation is needed. I would like to suggest to you that if Senator Franken is not aware of the differences, there is a great possibility that many other people do not understand. Would it be possible for you to explain this in greater detail? Obviously, we are going to get nowhere if even the Senate does not understand. Dr Paul,

More important still is inspiring new crops of Ron Paul Republicans as candidates at local levels. Many "Conservatives" don't realize that the current GOP no longer represents their beliefs and are easily swayed by it's past reputation rather than it's current actions. There are many waiting to recognize it... needing to recognize it... and that comes by the word from Ron Paul further spreading across the nation. Our hope comes from one of the two parties emerging as our voice and that hope is for the Republican Party to be transformed into what it always claims to be. The party that truly holds our Constitution dear to it's heart. It is not that now although it claims to be. Now is the time to seize it and take it back from the Corporate masters that uses Xenophobia to rally support for it's faith based initiatives and corporate imperialism. I was once a follower of the Ministry of Fox News and Imperial Wizard Rush Limbaugh but I asked questions. I required reasonable and logical answers to my questions and they offered none. It was Dr. Paul that answered my questions and those answers exposed that the Emperor was wearing no clothes. There are others waiting to hear those answers. Dr. Paul's run in 2012 gets those answers to even more people. We've not strayed too far from the shores of America yet that in numbers we cannot swim back and reclaim the nation our Founders gave to us. They say the only way to rebuild something is to tear it down and rebuild it with a stronger foundation. The GOP is prime for it's first phase of reconstruction in 2012. It will be split among the "kill anything different" crowd that will support Palin and the well-intentioned "Christian Values" supporters of Huckabee. Then will stand those that understand that our military is not to hunt for sport and that a religion inspired leader implies that some Americans are different thus being non-representative of all Americans. There is where Ron Paul will stand as a voice of reason with a larger conduit available to spread logic and common sense to greater masses.
