    Wow.... is that today?

    I don't even know what to say. A dark day, but he has created a trued revolution of ideas and his influence will be felt for decades to come.

    Thank you Dr. Paul for your fidelity, honor, courage, and passion for humanity and these United States.
    There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

    Author of, War is a Racket!

    Aw man, this is going to be hard to watch. I had no idea who he was 5 years a go, but now I realize he's the most important congressman of my lifetime.
    if modern agriculture continues to follow the path it's on now, it's finished. The food-growing situation may seem to be in good shape today, but that's just an illusion based on the current availability of petroleum fuels. All the wheat, corn, and other crops that are produced on big American farms may be alive and growing, but they're not products of real nature or real agriculture. They're manufactured rather than grown. The earth isn't producing those things.. petroleum is! -Masanobu Fukuoka

    I don't know. Hopefully he just keeps giving them until his very last day in January.

    Not a clue. My guess is he's going to get 5ish minutes to talk and will talk about the future and the real $hit hole we've all put ourselves in. My hope is he does it every chance he gets.

    "dumpster diving isn't professional." - angelatc
    "You don't need a medical degree to spot obvious bullshit, that's actually a separate skill." -Scott Adams
    "When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those 'different' from you, not those responsible [controllers]" -Q

    "Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul

    "Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

    I bet it will be a real barnburner!

    It seems that the mean-spirited and envious Republicans will finally allow Ron to deliver his eloquent "Farewell Address." While it is a so-long to Congress and the various crooks, liars, con men, and clowns who comprise it, it is far more important than that. Ron lays out a blueprint of exactly what is wrong, thanks to the rotten government, and how to set about fixing it. He talks philosophy and the most practical matters, too. He also tells us bout the ideas he will be advancing in his freer life post-Congress and post-politics. We have so much to look forward to! Watch this space for the CSPAN schedule, and the YouTube, and prepare to be moved, thrilled, and inspired. (Thanks to Jeff Deist)

    UPDATE It looks as if his talk will be at 3:00pm EST today. (Thanks, Jeff)
    I just know I'm going to cry.

    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.
    --Albert J. Nock

    If anyone has the ability to record this or comes up with a link/YouTube of the video after the fact, please post it. I would love to watch this but unfortunately I can't get out of the office to do so.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I very well could be.
