DAWN OF THE AMERICAN REFORMATION, AND END OF THE ERA OF THE UGLY AMERICAN
This Ron Paul Libertarian rebellion is an escalation and re-orientation of the American Cultural War, by the American People, against the rising governmental tyranny by Neoconservative Republicans and Leftist Democrats.
It is sweeping across America like a wildfire - ignited by the illegal and unnecessary invasion of Iraq. It raises many crucial questions, such as:
Where does the American Constitution give my government the right to sacrifice precious American wealth and blood, in interests of domestic and foreign lobbies?
Where does the American Constitution give my government the right to allow my nation to be invaded and permanently occupied by illegal aliens?
Where does the American Constitution give my government the right to support the sacrificial killing of children, by their own mothers?
Where does the American Constitution give my government the right to discriminate against traditional religious practices in public schools, universities, marriage institutions, armed forces, and governmental offices?
This creeping governmental tyranny, driven by perverse special interests, has now been going on for so many decades, like the illegal alien invasion, that the impending American Reformation is regarded with fear and loathing, by those who are to lose their illicit gains.
Like Gandhi, Ron Paul is drawing his intrepid volunteers from the full spectrum of humanity; and World is cheering him on to victory.

If you ran across a truly fine and honorable and honest and correct candidate, would you begin to think he could win, even if most people hadn’t yet heard of him?

If so, you understand Ron Paul’s supporters.

If we’re going to maintain the staus quo and keep our government jobs and government benefits, we is gotta stop dis guy.

Something I always like to show people:

Think clearly about why you disaprove of counterfeiting. Now you understand why Ron Paul wants to rid us of the FED.

Think clearly about why you disaprove of extortion. Now you understand Ron Paul’s view of the I.R.S.

Hmmm…

We could do a LOT worse than Ron Paul in the oval office…

He’s the only one who seems to make sense.

Besides the war, Dr. Paul sponsored HR3037 & HR1009 the Industrial Hemp Farming Act - another work of art from this Statesman who would be a great President. Democracy is bet taught by example, not by war! Go Dr. Paul - all the way!

great interview

The only goofy thing is thinking that we can print more money to retain a good economy while we are being completely irresponsible with our spending. Printing more money makes the money you earn worth less. That is part of the reason that gas is so high right now. It affects all imports… most notably, oil… which screws us all.

Tim,
A much more evenhaded article about Ron Paul than the one previously posted. Thank you for the coverage.

This is a turning point for our nation. Choose wisely.

I am voting Ron Paul.

Ron Paul just makes sense.

Why shouldn’t we expect something to back our money? If there was something behind it besides being “legal tender”, an obvious oxymoron, maybe it would be a little harder to steal from the American People. Look at what’s happening to the US dollar! Its slipping against every other major currency. The federal government is cashing its checks by inflating the money right out of our pockets!!!

The first story behind the story is that there is nothing to back the dollar now - save for perhaps the point of a gun… for those who might choose… to not accept it.

Strike 1 - The money is mostly counterfeit.

The second story behind the story is America… is already… all but been legally bankrupted.

Strike 2 - We’re broke, folks; and very nearly broken too.

The third story behind the story is many of our Constitutional laws have either been corrupted or superseded by international laws.

[See “communitarian law”, and “communitarianism” - collectivist, top-down “logic” favoring the “common good” over individualist liberties based on natural law, as is supposed to be legal according to Constitutional law. These communitarian laws, unbeknownst to most Americans, have been quietly put into place at all levels of government. They are predicated on pre-determined, totalitarian, Marxist-style outcomes (based on false premises and false logic) using the Hegelian dialectic.]

Strike 3 - When the international financiers - who own us now - decide to give the signal… the Constitution, and the Republic, will fall by the wayside… and most Americans will never notice.

More wealth will flow to fewer and fewer hands… as more and more of us… will finally come to understand… that we have, in fact, been enslaved against our will.

Ron Paul has seen this train wreck coming.

Not sure at all why folks confuse Ron Paul’s political philosophy with the job of a President. Of course, Ron Paul understands that a President is not a dictator, and that he can’t go into office and eliminate the Dept of Education, the Federal Reserve, Social Security, etc, in ten days or in ten years. When Ron Paul discusses his political philosophy he is simply telling us what kind of President he would be, and how he would lead the country. And he would begin by following the US Constitution. On this, Ron Paul is impeccably believable — just review his voting record in the US House of Representatives for the past 20 years …

Ron Paul is the best candidate out there for the Republicans. I hope more people will take the time to understand him and his perspectives then I think the rest will follow.
Ron Paul ‘08

I support Dr. Paul’s stance on abortion because it is an issue of equal rights. No person should have the legal right to kill another person. Anyone that supports abortion opposes equality.

Ron Paul could turn around this whole nightmare in his first term….

Then in his second term America will be on the upswing again at peace with the world.

They attack us because they hate us- They won’t hate us If Ron Paul is Prez- Plus if Ron Paul was President when 911 happened we would have Captured Osama and we wouldn’t have gotton into Veitnam Part II!

The Neo Cons Have been wrong about everything the’ve said- and that’s being very very kind.

Ron Paul can save us all! Plus, Don’t ya wanna see the biggest political upset in American History against the Status Quo?!?!?!

Keep Pushing people we’ve got to win this thing!

Paul Revere II P.S. NO IRS!

In regards to economy, I strongly believe we are beyond saving ourselves from this one already. Be prepared for life changing events in much less than 5 years, much sooner than the 10 years mentioned by James Snyder in other comment. EXTREME CHANGE IS NEEDED AND NO PLAN WILL BE EASY. RON PAUL, I SALUTE YOU!

I think his stance on issues such as economic policy, abortion, and immigration are his strong points. I don’t think they’re “kooky” at all. Unfortunately, his well informed opinions on these matters do not easily boil down to easy to understand sound bites for the main stream. His views on the war does. Hopefully, the voters will look deeper into these other issues and see his true potential. It sounds lke the reporter for this interview did not. I think we need to wake up to the realization that Paul is not a one issue candidate. If he was, he wouldn’t have over eight million dollars so far this quarter.

Proposed soundbites for Paul’s “kooky” stances:
1: Stop debasing the currency!!! (Yeah, that got me fired up)
2: Stop inflation!!! (KOOKY….YEah!!)
3: Follow the constitution!!!!(…gettin medievil!…..yeah!!)
4: Save the middle class!
5: Get rid of income tax!
6. Down with the welfare state!

Finally!!! We finally have a candidate on the rep AND the dem stage that have some sense of morality and responsibility! I have sat back and watched our countries condition deteriorate to an extreme that is frightful. 20 years ago, my brother dedicated his life to Constitutional protection. He had stories and predictions of our nation’s plight that made us wonder if he should be treated for clinical paranoia. Seriously. His own family tired of hearing his campaigning to “wake up and smell the coffe” and what do you suppose he was describing? Our nation and world as we know it today! (as a result of crooked politics and destruction of the constitution). Listen to Ron Paul….he has the same core strength. If for any reason we should lose Ron Paul in this race, please look carefully at Barack Obama as his message and intent are very much the same.

Bla bla bla. Even after all the babble — the fact is this guy is for real and his numbers are growing exponentially no matter what the elite owned media says. He’s the only choice given the Republicrat option. Wake up to stupid politics. Wake up to the fact that the Clintons are buddies with the Bush Family. Wake up to the fact that they’re playing Americans like brainless sheep. Ron Paul is our only hope.

Midevil? Come on lets not show are partisan colors to much Rolling Stone. I think Rolling Stone only focused on the War to make the other Republitards look by using Paul as a vehicle for the attack. Why do you think the only mention of Pauls other positions were poo pood as “goofy” and only played a brief line. Rolling Stone is still a partisan hack machine. Doesnt matter, the RON PAUL REVOLUTION IS BUILDING! DEC 14th and 15th - Donate!

Ron Paul is the BEST candidate and
I am really exicited about him running. I do fear Bush will rig the
elections though.

Wow, Ron Paul knows what anyone would know after watching the debates and checking out Rudy’s platform. Rudy wants to escalate US aggression in the Middle East, he is Bush on steriods. Once people look further than the cover of Time’s “Person of the Year 2001″ issue, Guiliani’s campaign will sink faster than the Titanic.

Who’s to say that “medieval” necessarily means wrong? “Modernist” views on abortion and immigration have led to declining birthrates and influx of foreign populations into European countries, thereby stamping out Western people and Western culture, without which we would probably not be exchanging ideas via this medium right now.

Like other commenters, I’m not entirely sure about the “medieval” adjective, but overall, a more balanced article than most.

Thanks.

Thank you for giving this man of integrity an opportunity to explain what he believes. I too don’t know if I agree on his position on abortion, but we need real change in this country. He is the only candidate who has a voting record to match what he says and he is the only one talking about the financial hole this administration has dug for this country. Thank you Mr. Dickinson for interviewing Dr. Paul.

Thanks for the interview, Mr. Dickinson. I am a Ron Paul supporter and this piece just stokes me more. It’s funny how neo-cons nowadays get all fussy when someone “defames” the troops, but when they call Paul kookie–who is a veteran–they get away with it!!!!!! Rudy with his deferments–Ha!

Go Ron Paul!

Great Interview! It’s great to see the gloves coming off!!!

I think the best thing to do is to start calling out the warmongers for what they are. The best is Rudy and Romney…neither served, Rudy did the deferment thing, and Romney’s sons “serve” by driving a bus around the country.

Ron Paul will roll over these guys if he uses he straight talk to pick them apart.

I disagree with Ron Pauls moral view of abortion(although having delivered 4000 babies its not hard to understand his view), but I can live with it because his political view on the matter actually works even better. Since we currently have the policy of making abortion a federal matter, I worry that another bush will come along and this time instead of focusing so completely on war, he will focus more on domestic issues. Removing it from federal control will guarantee that smaller subgroups will get to choose for themselves within that group meaning that the probability of the law and the opinion to coincide for any give individual goes up. Any time you let smaller and smaller groups choose for themselves, the number of individuals that get laws they want goes up. It’s too bad this idea wasn’t discussed more, instead of just the war.

Also, I wish we could have a serious debate on economic policy. I’ve studied Austrian economic theory and I’ve studied how us economics works and I really have to say that Ron Pauls thoughts aren’t all that goofy. I’m only a student of this topic, so I’d love to get away from the war issues(while important, other issues should be considered too) and talk about the Feds and our debt as money system we have today.

excellent interview and article, and the comments here so far illuminate the tiny bit of misinformation. i would just like to add that “securing the borders” is as simple as removing the incentive for illegal aliens to come and milk the welfare cow. that would stop the endless stream and let the border guards prevent real crimes.

What is “medieval” about relegating the authority to ban/permit abortions to the states rather than the federal government? Or medieval about securing borders?

Besides that bizarre choice of words, good interview!

Nice article overall, but…

Allowing the government to destroy the value of our currency and subsidize military empire by creating money out of thin air (eventually destroying our economy) is not only nutty, it is suicidal.

Dr. Paul’s desire for a currency that can’t be created on a whim by bankers and politicians is not “goofy nostalgia”. It’s a philosophy rooted in sound economic and monetary theory. The Founders understood that fiat currencies were disasters waiting to happen, that’s why they mandate in the Constitution that money is to be only of gold and silver. We’ve ignored their wisdom, and here we are, at the beginning of a currency crisis that will (within 10 years) bring this country to it’s knees. It’s one of the primary reasons I support Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul is the ranking member of the House Committee on Financial Services. He knows more about Economics and Currency then any of the other candidates for presidency.

Paper Money, not backed by anything, promotes large government and uncontrolled spending. Thats no secret.

As for Abortion. I will take a principled pro-life candidate anyday over a war mongerer.

Great job - one of the best interviews i’ve read

Thanks for the article, but I do want to comment on a few issues. You wrote that “Sure, the former obstetrician has a goofy nostalgia for the gold standard, not to mention medieval views on abortion and immigration.”

Well, if we learn anything from history it would be that the founding members of this country had no intention of giving the FEDERAL Government the power to deal with abortion, and although I don’t share Paul’s view necessarily, you cannot fault him on his reasoning. So if the Constitution and ideas thereof are medieval then count me in as a Goth obsessed Paul fan =)

I mean, immigration was really not that big of a deal to me, but one must ask, at what point do we stop people from coming here to work and live illegally? There has to be some point when we say no more, especially if it is draining our resources.

Lastly, the idea of backing money with something tangible is what kept this country sound for many many years. The idea of printing money at will by some private bank who charges interest that cannot be paid back EVER, well that, in my mind sound a bit nutty and medieval. Just a thought.

If only Hunter S. Thompson were alive to chronicle the Ron Paul Revolution.

Thank you for this coverage - Ron Paul is the smartest candidate running!!!

Ron Paul is right. Bush has lied to us about the war and no one says or does anything. I do not credit the expanded troop surge with making Iraq safer. The troop surge had no impact on Basra. If the troop surge would have had an effect, the bad guys would have just moved to Basra where they would not have American opposition and the British had gone home for the most part.

So why is it that Basra did not see in increase in attacks when the British left?

Why are the Iraqi people standing up for themselves against the insurgents?

The answer is simple, the Iraqi people see the US and British leaving soon. No reason to throw us out if we are walking for the door. Now the US is doing what worked in Basra, let the Iraqi people toss out the bad guys. It pisses me off that Bush is taking credit for making Iraq safer. If Bush announced that the US was never going to leave and keep 200,000 troops permanently in Iraq, do you think things would get better?

ok Tim, you’ve now redeemed yourself! Excellent Article! Great job!

So… It’s goofy to want our currency to actually be backed by something (it was before Nixon), and medieval to treat illegal immigration as, well, illegal? Sounds like the ideas of someone who is actually intelligent and rational for a change. As for Paul’s stance on abortion… I personally disagree with him, but I respect his rationale. He is approaching it as a thinking man (taking life is murder… so when does life begin?) rather than relying on dogmatic arguments.

Great article! I’m glad Ron Paul called Julie Annie on his war position. Ron Paul for the WIN!
