Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

John Stossel & Ron Paul On Respecting The Constitution

by @ 12:07 pm on December 14, 2007.

Say what you might about Ron Paul and his supporters, but he’s the only candidate in the race who talks about following the Constitution and actually means what he says:

Paul talks a lot about the Constitution, more so than any other candidate.

“We’ve had a grand experiment in this country where we emphasize freedom. If you read the Constitution, the Constitution was designed to protect individual liberty, to restrain the government. But we have forgotten that.”

Restraining the government the way our founders intended, he says, would eliminate many of the regulations and federal programs we have today.

And he’s got one of the best lines of the campaign when he responds to the suggestion that his ideas are old-fashioned:

“Freedom is new, tyranny is old, it’s ancient,” Paul retorts.

Again, it’s a shame that ABC isn’t broadcasting any of this on television, but the message of freedom is still getting out.

    George Mitchell’s report — and the reactions to it — caused me to wonder how professional baseball might be different if Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul withdrew from the race for the White House and, instead of serving as commander in chief, replaced Bud Selig as commissioner of baseball. What if Ron Paul was Commissioner of Baseball? >

    Nice article,

    prob with this country is same with all countries - MOST peopl naturally need to be led around by other people that they consider to be smarter than themselves. A democracy is so great when you have a bunch of citizens controlled by what social/political stands the libs of the country want to promote through the Media (all of t.v.).. If there’s a concensus on t.v. of the SMART PEOPLE then it must ok. Certainly we all need to live our lives according to what the t.v. says is normal and acceptable. - That’s america and that’s the democracy we have - MEDIA CONTROLLED
