Doesn't matter if you agree with him or not, he won't bend to the will of the global elite (like every other current choice) and he will follow the constitution and let the American people decide how they wish to run their states and own lives.Or vote for Obama again and watch police abuse continue to escalate while our Rothschild (and Co) owned country further degraded into a Plutocracy/Serf environment.

I think his solution for ridding America of young black men (shooting them) and his advice two weeks before the Oklahoma bombing could be refined during his tenure as president to reduce the welfare rolls and rid us of what he thinks are unwanted institutions. A potential shortcut when legal methods stand in his way.As for his present rhetoric, the fact that he seems to have something for everyone shows how much he has learned (and earned) by pandering to right wing nuts. He does not appear to have solutions in mind. He simply speaks to the elimination of institutions. What alternatives does he propose? Perhaps he will disclose these over his name without having read them. If, as with his decades old racist remarks, he can find some method of absolving himself from his methods, he can retain his image of a kindly old O.B.G.Y.N.The passage of time since his racist remarks simply leads to the conclusion that those are long held beliefs. As for his campaign for president? God help us if he wins.

Ron Paul would do the Rs and this country a huge favor if he gets enough delegates to influence the Rs platform. Paul is right on that: (1) this country can no longer afford to have the bevy of military bases in foreign countries that offer little deterrent, subsidize those countries' taxpayers (who should be paying for their own defense), and inject those troops' paychecks into those economies; (2) this country can no longer afford to be the world's policeman, to have the weaponry-especially that the military itself doesn't want, and this country has no basis to be telling others how to run their countries or their lives; (3) if the government should be out of people's lives, it's all or none, the latter includes people's personal decisions about social issues.

Pretending to be a peace candidate, his opposition to war appears to be based upon fiscal problems. His solution of shooting people he does not like looms in the background of his posturing as a champion of the Bill of Rights and his anemic opposition to war.
To be fair, he probably did not invent "ethics of convenience", but he certainly has mastered the technique.

Thank you for publishing this article. I am a post WWII child. I have lived through Vietnam and the other non sense wars. I have seen many ups and downs. Ron Paul is the only candidate that makes sense. Those who know their recent American History can see that he is telling the truth. If we want to keep our freedoms, our economy going in the right direction, break the control of Wall Street, and end wars, this the man. Put aside the other differences. He is for individual liberties. I doubt that abortion laws will be rescinded under him as president. These attacks against him are red herrings. He is the one chance we have to restore America.

Think twice before dismissing Ron Paul. He is perhaps the last true statesmen and his legacy will be studied in future decades long after the man is no longer with us. That the corporate media machine is working overtime to discredit him now is only a barometer for how much his positions threaten the monied interests of the status quo.

Paul has always been right on when it comes to many issues, but he holds just as many positions that are absurd. Texan's have always been racists. I was born there an know it. Also they want to succeed from the union. Paul is not a proponent of women's right to choose and some of his Austrian money ideas are madness. But, his thoughts on the military, foreign policy(military bases) and civil rights are right on. I am afraid he is too cookoo to succeed, but those running should incorporate some of his ideas if they want to mount a serious campaign.

It is ironic that this praise of Ron Paul ignores most of his extreme right-wing views. Paul, although opposed to many of the same things that I am opposed to, attempts to “get to the same” place we are today using other fanatical paths. Even a stopped clock gets it right twice a day but the rest of the day, it is wrong!
