Ron Paul Revolution Excerpts, Part One

I'll be posting selected quotes from his book "The Revolution: A Manifesto" as I work my way through it.

Here's today's cut:

"With national bankruptcy looming, politicians from both parties continue to make multitrillion-dollar promises of "free" goods from the government, and hardly a soul wonders if we can still afford to have troops in -- this is not a misprint -- 130 countries around the world....

But instead of thinking about what this means for how we conduct foreign and domestic affairs, our chattering classes seem incapable of speaking in anything but the emptiest platitudes, when they can be bothered to address the issues at all. Fundemental questions like this, and countless others besides, are off the table in our mainstream media, which focuses our attention on trivialities and phony debates as we march toward oblivion."

Reverend Wright, anyone?

"Truth is treason in the empire of lies....

Even war doesn't really distinguish the two parties from each other. Hillary Clinton and John Kerry voted for the Iraq war....

Needless to say, I am also unimpressed by the liberal Left. Although they posture as critical thinkers, their confidence in government is inexcusably naive, based as it is on civics-textbook platitudes that bear absolutely zero resemblance to reality.... "

Which is why I gave up on the Left!

"Neoconservatives, the false conservatives who got us into the Iraq mess and pushed hard for war with Iran, continue to hold their positions of prominence. Why that is so is quite beyond me....

Not me!!

Zionist domination of the AmeriKan MSM, pure and simple!


Meanwhile, where is the exposure for those who favor a non-interventionist foreign policy? These individuals would have avoided the Iraq fiasco altogether.

:-)

America would be trillions richer over the long term, Iraqi society would not be in shambles, and countless Americans and Iraqis alike would still be alive. Noninterventionists have been entirely vindicated. And yet they do not enjoy the places of prominence that the establishment has bestowed upon those who have been consistently wrong, and responsible for carnage and destruction that have destroyed our good name around the world and isolated us more than ever in our history...."

Which is why you and I are here, readers.
