Dr Paul speaks again; always as a true Representative of The People, with grace, elegance and endurance of an anointed man. UN-jaded by the constant corruption around him. UN-wavering in his warnings, in hopes to inspire and awaken the sleeping giant that has fallen ill to a disease compounded of apathy & mediocrity.
Dr Paul's introduction:
It didn't happen overnight. It took many years of neglect for our
liberties to be given away so casually for a promise of security from
the politicians. The tragic part is that the more security was promised
-- physical and economic -- the less liberty was protected.
With
cradle-to-grave welfare protecting all citizens from any mistakes and a
perpetual global war on terrorism, which a majority of Americans were
convinced was absolutely necessary for our survival, our security and
prosperity has been sacrificed. It was all based on lies and ignorance. Many came to believe that
their best interests were served by giving up a little freedom now and
then to gain a better life.
The trap was set. At the beginning of a cycle that systematically
undermines liberty with delusions of easy prosperity, the change may
actually seem to be beneficial to a few. But to me that's like excusing
embezzlement as a road to leisure and wealth -- eventually payment and
punishment always come due. One cannot escape the fact that a
society's wealth cannot be sustained or increased without work and
productive effort. Yes, some criminal elements can benefit for a while,
but reality always sets in.
Reality is now setting in for America and for that matter for most of
the world. The piper will get his due even if "the children" have to
suffer. The deception of promising "success" has lasted for quite a
while.
It was accomplished by ever-increasing taxes, deficits,
borrowing, and printing press money. In the meantime the policing
powers of the federal government were systematically and significantly
expanded. No one cared much, as there seemed to be enough "gravy" for
the rich, the poor, the politicians, and the bureaucrats.

Dr. Paul's finishing statement-
We should not be discouraged. Enlightenment is not nearly as difficult
to achieve as it was before the breakthrough with Internet
communications occurred. Besides we must remember that "an idea whose
time has come" cannot be stopped by armies, demagogues, politicians, or
even Fox News or MSNBC. The time has come for the ideas of liberty to
prevail. I smell progress. Let's make 2015 a fun year for LIBERTY.
We fully support and are in agreement with Ron Paul.
