Ron Paul: Prophet, Wiseman

He was, as we see now, right all along.

Ron Paul: Election shows U.S. 'far gone'

Quote
"People do not want anything cut," he said. "They want all the bailouts to come. They want the Fed to keep printing money. They do not believe we have gone off the cliff or are close to going off the cliff. They think we can patch it over, that we can somehow come up with a magic solution."

He added, "You cannot have a budgetary solution if you do not change what the role of government should be."

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Don't agree with everything the Sage of Lake Jackson has to say but in this case he hits the bullseye dead zero!
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
