Ron Paul on Republican Congressmen: "911 changed everything. And they loved it."
In a newly released youtube video filmed in October 2007 at The Arab American Institute Conference in Dearborn, Michigan, Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul speaks on civil liberties, foreign policy and 9/11
I suggest watching this whole 20+ minute video, but here are some notable remarks:
11:16 Paul speaks on the north American Union, the U.N., and the world government movement
A questioner then asks Paul about "the relentless erosion of our civil liberties... why wasn't there more of an outcry from republican congressmen?"
Paul's reply at minute 12:28.
Ron Paul: "911 changed everything. and they loved it... The neocons believed they should be world conquerers.. 20 or 30 people who hijack our domestic civil liberties policy, economic policy, foreign policy..
...and thats what they wanted. and they even talked before 9/11 not that they planned it or expected it. but they always sort of, a lucky event, could be another pearl harbor event, they talked about it being a lucky event,.. it fell in their lap and it changed everything.. and then you get guys like Giuliani that make a living off it.... people have not listened to the admonishment of Benjamin Franklin..
Paul then jokes about toothpaste confiscation at airports and how people 'feel good and secure about it'.

At about 10 minutes, Ron Paul indicates that AIPAC makes it very difficult for congressmen who agree with him to stand strong on certain critical issues. I've never heard him put it more bluntly than that.

So what is new? The leadership in both parties do the same thing all the time with the congresscowards. They even threaten to withhold support and funding for re-election. Geeze, I believe it was Nick Smith, just a few years ago, who was going to retire and his son had indicated he was going to run to replace his dad, was told they'd see that his son didn't have a chance if Nick didn't vote the way they wanted him to.
They do little things like withhold committee assignments, or change them.
As for what Ron or others have said, and the time spot they say it---I would imagine there are a number of factors at play....one I would imagine would be political awareness of the crowd to whom he/they were addressing. Another thing, I doubt that any of them could remember every single factor which needs to be said or addressed at any one time--and time constraints would play a part there.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to actually spend several hours talking about various matters with Ron? Imagine the wealth of info we could obtain.
