Swords into Plowshares

Paperback – July 17, 2015

by Ron Paul (Author), Adam Dick (Editor)

In his latest book, Swords into Plowshares, Dr. Paul reveals an intensely personal side as he reflects on growing up during World War II. The book also provides a powerful critique of the corruption and corrosion produced by a 20th century full of war and killing. Ever the optimist, however, Paul leaves behind the ashes of a 20th century of war to finish with a stirring, liberating view of the future we may choose if we turn from war and violence.

Great title.

Does Ron write his books? He keeps churning them out.

Yeah, too many for my taste plus a cheesy title straight from middle ages, before Columbus "discovered" America.

Some I'm sure he does, some he lets Tom Woods do the work.

Tom Woods is one of the clumsiest ghostwriters. He really embarrassed everyone around him unnecessarily. lol, he even wrote his own glowing review of his own book pretending it was Ron's.

Huh? That is a phrase from the Bible.

Which book was that?

[timosman]

Huh? That is a phrase from the Bible.

Even worse.

[Sola_Fide]

Even worse.

Why's that?

Limited appeal.

Jesse - is that you?

Limited appeal.

Anybody except the Amish.

Do you know what the Amish believe?

Tom Woods is a lousy ghostwriter. Making an obvious observation is not something that Benton typically does.

Slamming Tom Woods for no apparent reason is something that Benton routinely does.

Do we have a pattern here - lousy ghostwriter, lousy campaign manager ? Why are the Pauls surrounding themselves with such people ?

The weirdest thing is the follower who thinks that if you notice the ghostwriter is lousy, you must be the lousy former campaign manager!

[SneakyFrenchSpy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the 1st time Dr. Paul has a photo of himself on the cover. I remember that stood out quite a bit and was discussed around here during the 2008 & 2012 campaigns, when all other candidates had their mug on their books but he'd chosen to stay away from that. I wonder what changed but I'm glad he's going for the 'Gentle Grandpa' vibe this time... how could anyone not like him?

What piqued my interest wasn't that observation, it was this:

That seems like something only an insider would know. And Jesse is the only insider I know of that never misses the chance to trash Tom.

These guys are old pals

No, I recall that being pointed out and mocked way back when.

Wait - are you telling me I may be wrong about something? That would make twice in a day. Blasphemy, I say.

(not really. I probably missed it. )

[fr33]

It's an interesting title. I'll definitely buy it. Nobody here has ever made the choice between swords and a plow made from swords. 95% here have never owned either object. I expect it will be a great anti-war book.

[fr33]

Maybe a more relate-able title could be "Turning recycled chairs into drones".

[William Tell]

Title is good Biblical reference.

[phill4paul]

Wonder if he will cover Chris Kyle.

"As a veteran, I certainly recognize that this weekend's violence and killing of Chris Kyle were a tragic and sad event. My condolences and prayers go out to Mr. Kyle’s family. Unconstitutional and unnecessary wars have endless unintended consequences. A policy of non-violence, as Christ preached, would have prevented this and similar tragedies. -REP"

The only weirder thing would be if you actually were Jesse.

I think the title is great.
