Poster Comment: This is a somewhat misnamed thread, although the rest of his lecture may have focused on corporate media more. At the end of the video, he mentions worldaffairsbrief.com - See "strategic threats of this decade.".

Here's a Mormon taking a stand against Mitt Romney.
I thought about an Ezra Taft Benson quote when I posted this.
- Ezra Taft Benson, An Enemy Hath Done This So, so true.
Ron Paul is vindicated by other great Patriots in Government who were brutalized as the establishment sought to shut them up. He quotes Wait Whitman Rostow: "it is, therefore, an American interest to see an end of nationhood as it has been historically defined." — White House Adviser Walt W. Rostow (The Campaign to Abolish the Constitution). Benson gives 10 ways in which our Constitution is being attacked, even as far back as 1965. Today, we can see that many are completed, and are now accepted as normal. President Bush scoffs when his alliances with Canada, Mexico, and Europe are described as sacrifices of our sovereignty. And yet they are.
bump!
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! It ain't PC, but you might like to hear this speech, Palo. It has a few things to say about the kind of lawlessness that John McCain and Ted Kennedy tried to enforce on us last summer.
I wish Ron Paul was a better communicator. He is good at expressing what's wrong in DC but his statements such as getting rid of the IRS requires a better solution than just getting rid of it. He needs to explain more clearly how the people would benefit from removing federal authority and returning it to the states when he has interviews with media personel. As one person describes him, "He bounces around like a ping pong ball when he is talking." That isn't going to get him the votes that he needs.
I share your concerns. I feel I'm doing the best I can by supporting him, but if he does not capture the zeal of the American people soon, he's not going to win. I can't blame Joe 6-Pack for failing to get enthusiastic about dismantling a department he's never heard about, such as the Federal Reserve. But I think a lot of intelligent kids and college students are following the campaign and learning massive amounts of history and individualist values from Ron Paul's efforts. This is very encouraging by itself. Who'd have thought we would see such a thing in 2007 and 2008?
I strongly agree with you but much more is needed from RP. I'd love to sit down with him for just 15 minutes and explain the reasons behind the public perception of him as a kook. I see it on FR and it has to be simple ignorance combined with fright of unreasoned change. If the ladies over there understood the why we need RP and understood the reasons for making changes to their blessed federal government. Out of all of the candidates there isn't a single conservative amongst them. I find that disusting and frightening.
If you have a bit of time, perhaps you could call the campaign with your credentials and get past the filters to convey your ideas.
Just curious, what are those credentials?

I could care less about PC but I like to read rather than listen to videos

As one person describes him, "He bounces around like a ping pong ball when he is talking." That isn't going to get him the votes that he needs. oddly enough, I think Ron Paul is doing just fine
RP does not give solutions to the problems we have.
In my opinion he comes close to doing that. But he can't teach a course in economics each time he presents his solutions. Economics were at the heart of the first American revolution, and Ron Paul is trying to move us back toward the freedom that the first citizens had to use their wealth as they saw fit. To the casual American, it's not easy to understand this. They think gasoline is really getting more expensive. They don't have time to have inflation explained to them. Gold may have gone up by the same amount as fuel, but that might as well be on another planet. Fear is now the method by which politicians clinch their deals with voters. We should be very afraid so that our dear leaders can provide solutions for us. And we are the saviors of the planet, from the little animals to the oppressed human beings in all corners of the earth. So it's natural that we should have a military presence on every continent. Any suggestion otherwise requires a geography lesson, at least. That's too much to present in a few seconds. Fear also drives the illegal immigration debate. We need ID cards and a militarized police force so that we can take care of this scourge. Cutting off welfare and amending the constitution to clarify that there is no such thing as anchor baby citizenship would put more of a dent in illegal immigration than most of what the others are describing, but a fence is much simpler to explain. And so it becomes very difficult to show that Ron Paul presents solutions.
Todays voters want to know how their president is going to cure the problems that we have, not someone to point out the problems. I have a feeling that we're going to be stuck with another RINO.
Ron Paul has said that he would bring our troops home, which would automatically balance our budget and end inflationary spending overseas. He has said that he would lay the groundwork to abolish the Fed, and end income taxes for ordinary citizens. He has said that he would restore our constitutional liberties by refusing to enforce the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act, and by undoing the Executive Orders. With our own civil liberties and economic liberty being restored, we can take care of ourselves. Without a President leading the charge against the Minute Men, they could do wonders on the border themselves. I'm not clear that Americans still want to have so much freedom back.
Executive Orders Issued by President George W. Bush
Ron Paul would undo many of these with the stroke of a pen on the first day in office. And we would be safer for it. There is no safety in freedom surrendered.
Which makes true revolution that much harder.

If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers – normally good Americans, but Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free, Americans who have been lulled away into a false security.

I watched the debate two nights ago intently, the FOX debate in South Carolina
and I woke up the next morning, yesterday, knowing the Ron Paul Presidency is inevitable
