"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence -- it is force! Like fire, it 
is a dangerous servant and a fearful master!” - George Washington

Unconstitutional Legislation Threatens Freedoms
May 7, 2007 by Rep. Ron Paul
Hate crime laws not only violate the First Amendment, they also violate the Tenth Amendment. Under the United States Constitution, there are only three federal crimes: piracy, treason, and counterfeiting. All other criminal matters are left to the individual states. Any federal legislation dealing with criminal matters not related to these three issues usurps state authority over criminal law and takes a step toward turning the states into mere administrative units of the federal government.

April 30, 2007: Getting Iraq War
Funding Wrong Again
 

by U.S. Representative, Ron Paul
What is the best way forward in Iraq? Where do we go from here? First, Congress should admit its mistake in unconstitutionally transferring war power to the president and in citing United Nations resolutions as justification for war against Iraq. We should never go to war because another nation has violated a United Nations resolution. Then we should repeal the authority given to the president in 2002 and disavow presidential discretion in starting wars. Then we should start bringing our troops home in the safest manner possible.

ABC - Ron Paul Recruits Anonymous to Attack Rudy's Foreign Policy

Fox News' Pro-Giuliani Conflict of Interest
Rudy Giuliani's much-publicized but misleading put-down of Ron Paul during Tuesday night's Republican presidential debate should have been tempered by a report that Saudi Arabia, the country that spawned most of the 9/11 hijackers, has been one of Giuliani's lucrative foreign clients. However, Fox News questioners Chris Wallace and Wendell Goler did not bring it up. Read more...

Rudy Giuliani Vs. Ron Paul, and Reality
The most heated moment in the SC debate, which aired live on the conservative Fox News network, came when the former New York mayor and current GOP front-runner angrily refused to entertain a serious discussion about the role that actions taken by the United States prior to the September 11, 2OO1, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon may have played in inspiring or encouraging those attacks.

'The Net' shoves Ron Paul right down ABC's throat!
Whether ABC purposely left Cong. Ron Paul out of their poll, or whether they're just so arrogant that they just assumed that they know who the candidates are, or should be, they got a cold slap in the face the other day.

Ron Paul Won the Debate
By Joe Dumas of the Chattanoogan.com
For those of you who missed the debate last night, you might be surprised to learn that none of the "big three" candidates was most impressive. Instead, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas set himself apart from the "also-rans" and propelled himself to serious contender status. In fact, as I write this he is winning the candidate poll on msnbc.com, which hosted the debate. Read the full article.

Holding Up an Ideal Standard in a Complicated World
Christian Perspective on Going Back to the Sound Principles of the U.S. Constitution

"A people may prefer a free government, but if, from indolence, or carelessness, or cowardice, or want of public spirit, they are unequal to the exertions necessary for preserving it; if they will not fight for it when it is directly attacked; if they can be deluded by the artifices used to cheat them out of it; if by momentary discouragement, or temporary panic, or a fit of enthusiasm for an individual, they can be induced to lay their liberties at the feet even of a great man, or trust him with powers which enable him to subvert their institutions; in all these cases they are more or less unfit for liberty: and though it may be for their good to have had it even for a short time, they are unlikely long to enjoy it.” (John Stuart Mill, Considerations on Representative Government [London:Parker, Son, and Bourn, West Strand., 1861], p.6)
