Liberty Maven

Head over to LewRockwell.Com to watch the full video of the Morton Downey Jr. show in July 1988 when Ron Paul was running for President as a Libertarian. One quote by one of the many lemmings attacking Ron is:

I’m sick of you legalization people hiding behind the Constitution.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard people say this. And frankly, it makes me ill inside as well.

Watch the videos here.

Pretty funny clip from Colbert.

In perusing articles on the wonderful site LewRockwell.com I found this older (a little over a month ago) gem from Brian Wilson.  Trust me.  It is worth your time, if you haven’t already read it.

Here is a youtube clip of Ron Paul in his slightly younger years appearing on the Morton Downey Jr. Show in 1988.  I recall watching this show fairly regularly.  It was a kind of cross between CNN’s Crossfire and Jerry Springer.  Ron doesn’t pull any punches here.  This was the year he ran for President as a Libertarian.

Yet another appearance on MSNBC.

Thanks to The Daily Paul, a wonderful Ron Paul online resource, we witness Ron Paul on the cover of  The American Conservative.

These types of articles are more of what Ron Paul supporters really need.  This is another must read.

I have 3 political heroes these days.  They are Ron Paul, Walter Williams, and John Stossel. John Stossel’s latest column, “Bill Gates Needs an Econ Course”, hammers a recent graduation speech given by Bill Gates at Harvard accusing him of pushing for solutions that hurt third world countries more than help them.  In it he states:

He should know that for spending to better reflect people’s values, governments must butt out. Politicians are notoriously bad at improving the lot of their populations. What they are good at is confiscating money and spending it the way they want it spent. It’s only when governments do less , and tax people less, that people are free to earn and keep their own money. Only then does their money really “reflect their values.”

This excellent column can be read here at townhall.com. Ron Paul has named two people as potential running mates, if he were to be the GOP nominee: Walter Williams and John Stossel.  I couldn’t agree with his choices more.

Walter E. Williams is a true patriot by the Ron Paul definition of patriotism.  In his recent column, “The Law Versus Orders”, he effectively sums up the problems with the United States today by stating the following:

The fact that Americans have become ruled by orders and special privileges helps explain all the money and graft that we see in Washington. We’ve moved away from a government with limited powers, as our Founders envisioned, to one with awesome powers. Therefore, it pays people to spend huge amounts of money to influence Congress in their favor, that is, get Congress to grant them privileges denied to other Americans.

This column should be required reading for all Americans.  This column is just another in a long series of great columns by Walter Williams.  No wonder Ron Paul has stated that he would make an ideal running mate.

Take a few moments and read this column here, and become a Walter Williams fan, if you aren’t already.

This blog post, in my view, classifies as a must read.  It is quite long, but worthwhile to any Ron Paul fan.
