    Ron Paul: Do We Live in a Police State? [video]

    And before that, criticism of the military. Beautiful section all around.

So advocates of liberty must reject incremental approaches and fight boldly for bedrock principles.
    The epitome of libertarian populism

    I don't work under the assumption that if we get 10 more people to Washington, things are going to be okay and we're going to win the vote. That's not going to happen. What you have to do, is get enough freedom to release the creative energy that comes up with alternatives to the government.

    That right there is what I've always loved about Ron Paul. The title is concerning the police state. But the message is all about hope. Thanks Ron for the inspiration.

    But a pessimist is usually a better informed optimist. And the only lesson of history is that it doesn't teach us anything.

    A pessimist is nothing but a better informed optimist.

    You were part of the Walk4Freedom, Danke? Wow you really are a celebrity. I remember the Walk from "For Liberty". I watched that before I joined RPF, very inspirational. What did you think of Wisconsin?

    Ron isn't well informed?

    Well I guess that all depends in who "us" is.

    Ron's message here is full of hope, and I like it.

    Ptttffff.
