This speech to Congress by Ron Paul is awesome, he talks of the nightmare, the insanity, the psychopathy and the need to turn this around.....through revolutionary changes.
This man has some courage. I pray that he remains safe.

Great amount of truth. Questions are: Who or what created these chaotic problems and who or what will end up footing the bills?

I wish more people could see politics for what it really was instead of just looking for someone to blame. Even myself in the past I've fallen pray to bigotted ideas and worldviews and the sort of xenophobia which is pretty much rampant throughout Britain, albeit this was quite briefly and when I had alot of other personal problems getting me down, but the catalysts for such behaviour are everywhere, driven by the media and all of the mainstream parties are out to capitalise on them whilst at the same time failing to act either way.
The main difference between Britain and the US however is the lack of a genuine movement campaigning for civil liberties. The attitude of many over here is largely adverse to the creeping surveillance state etc, the only real opposition of said policy tends to come from the left. Socialist, communist and anarchist groups are generally the few who tend to publically declare their opposition to the nanny state we've become acustomed to, everyone else seems to have that old wartime mentality 'keep calm and carry on'.
I suppose even if there was a carbon copy of Ron Paul over here he wouldn't be given the light of day in the media and would probably just be written off by most people and would fade into oblivion. For that reason I genuinely envy the US, it's one of the few places in the world where there actually is a tradition of being committed to the limiting of government power, it's just a shame the reputation of the American people is often unfairly twisted by some bad foreign policy decisions on behalf of your government.edit on 24-4-2011 by lifeissacred because: ETA

But S+F nonetheless because it was a great speech from a great man.

That was an awesome speech!
I fear Ron Paul won't live long because of that speech!Look at what happen to JFK after that speech about secret societies!Was JFK a conspiracy theorists too?
Michael Jackson started talking about conspiracies against him and he mysteriously died!Martin Luther King..Bob Marley..John Lennon..All died too early and under mysterious circumstances!
Any talk of revolution or of a corrupt government ALWAYS ends up bad for the person/s!Hopefully with all the attention Ron Paul is getting concerning him and his talk of a corrupt government(not in those words)they will leave him alone.
I have a feeling that he might die from "natural causes" or an "accident" somehow!I hope I am wrong!Ron Paul is that voice we all need!

Dr. Paul is one of two politicians that I trust, the other is Dennis Kucinich.
But Ron is #1 in my opinion,
Founding father status clearly.

Every single time I see Ron Paul interviewed he makes so much sense.
It's amazing that TPTB have let this guy continue as long as he has, and now his torch will be carried on by his son.
I hope they both remain safe.
