Must we wait for the inevitable and expect to restore our liberties in a street fight against the overwhelming power of the state? - Not a good option.
The only way we can prevent blood from running in the streets is to offer a better idea about the proper role of government in a society that desires first and foremost liberty.
I have to believe Ron Paul is deluding us all.
How does Paul expect us to introduce a better idea to a corrupt congress in the first place? Congress will certainly reject anything that will compromise their greed. It will not work, it will take blood on our streets to clean house, because that’s the only thing they understand.

Ron Paul only makes one mistake in thinking somehow you can "reign in the CIA", the last person to threaten that was JFK. The CIA needs to be completely dismantled and the ashes thrown to the wind.
If we only had about 500 Ron Pauls in Congress we wouldn't need to be worrying about the future of our country.edit on 4-10-2010 by Asktheanimals because: added commentary

If the American economy collapse it would just mean that "Capitalism" failed. So far "Communism" also failed. So then what's left on the table ? Which economic / social system could then be used ?
