GOP presidential contender Ron Paul warned Saturday the U.S. is “slipping into a fascist system” dominated by government and big business, the Associated Press reported.
Speaking to a crowd in Kansas City, Mo. that numbered more than a thousand, the Texas congressman asserted that the U.S. began heading down the wrong path 100 years ago during President Woodrow Wilson’s administration. Wilson led the country through World War I and advocated for the United States’ involvement in the League of Nations, a precursor to the United Nations.
“We’ve slipped away from a true Republic,” Paul said. “Now we‘re slipping into a fascist system where it’s a combination of government and big business and authoritarian rule and the suppression of the individual rights of each and every American citizen.”
According to the Kansas City Star, Paul said the country cannot afford its entitlement system of free education, health care and housing anymore.
“Right now people are waking up to the fact that the government is broke, and they know it’s ending,” Paul said.
Paul has warned of similar future unrest while on the campaign trail, including U.N. conspiracies and predicting rioting in the streets.
“If freedom is the answer and big government is the problem, what we have to do is convince the people that it is in their best interest to defend liberty,” Paul said.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 10:03amDr. Paul has way more support than the media lets on. Control of the elections is paramount to the big government machine. I see it in our State, It was obvious in Maine with attempting to disenfranchise voters by suppressing the vote in 3 counties. The Rhino republican party lost its way years ago and merged with the democratic parties in policies and agenda.
Report Post »I say get involved, I’m a delegate for Dr. Paul. I worked the phones before our caucus, have gone to rally’s and got to meet Dr. Paul at our call center. He spent about a hour talking to all of us one on one. He is a Patriot, and the Founding Fathers would be proud. He told me he is doing this for the generations yet to come.
Both parties are scared of him as the big government machine is running on all cylinders, time to drain the tank.

The reason being is that I firmly believe that Romney and Paul will tackle the deficit. Romney and Paul have a life outside of government ant they would not be worried about securing a second term so they would make the tough and unpopular decisions.

Pat is Glenn’s oldest friend from way back, and Pat is also the person who not only introduced him to the Mormon faith – but is the person who baptised him into the faith. So, there ya have it.
Their shared anti-Paul stances are theological and based soley on the Mormon belief regarding Israel – it has nothing to do with actual politics (or reality for that matter).

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 6:56pmWest Coast Patriot,
My son-in-law is a Mormon. I am an ol’ timey, independent, unreconstructed Baptist. Sundays are spent in discussion and debate on religious topics. On all the topics of real importance, such as salvation and knowledge of it – we agree. Ancillary stuff that really doesn’t get you into Heaven – we don’t.
Let’s just say I understand the Mormon linking of judaic genealogy with their theology. I’ve also seen mormon sunday school lessons printed with a deification of Abraham Lincoln and ascribing divine, apostolic divinity to the US Constitution. I‘ve also pointed out that Joe Smith and Brigham Young didn’t quite see it that way and have corresponded with other truth-seeking Mormons like Michael Griffith on such heretical infusions of secular and truly theological topics into the Mormon catechism.
To put it simply, I’m a decendent of the people who wrote the letter to Jefferson from the Danbury Baptist Church. It is vitally important to preserve the original liberties of the Constitution, but fully understand that those liberties are fragile at best and have never been enjoyed by any populace before – be they Mormon or Baptist. They are secular in nature, but ironicly allow the Christian principle to flourish and gain converts by the most honest means possible – individual example.
I revere the Constitution not because I believe it to be divine, but because it allows me to exercise my Divinity. There is a difference.

Sorry Vechonik… If that was true Rand Paul would have done the same. But Rand Paul had the GUTS to vote NO. Ron Paul ran and hid like the WIMP that he is.

From the Ron Paul Political Report October 1992 newsletter. http://www.tnr.com/sites/default/files/PoliticalReportOctober1992.pdf
If you live in a major city, you’ve probably already heard about the newest threat to your life and limb, and your family: carjacking.
It is the hip-hop thing to do among the urban youth who play unsuspecting whites like pianos. The youth simply walk up to a car they like, pull a gun, tell their family to get out, steal their jewelry and wallets, and take the car to wreck. Such actions have ballooned in the recent months.
In the old days, average people could avoid such youth by staying out of bad neighborhoods. Empowered by the media, police, and political complicity, however, the youth now roam everywhere looking for cars to steal and people to rob.
What can you do? More and more Americans are carrying a gun in the car. An ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example).

As for fascism:
I’m pretty sure Dr. Paul is referring to MUSSOLINI style fascism….. also known as corporatism. Everybody knows out Congress has been taken-over by corporations and their lobbyists. The voice of the people is barely heard anymore. So yes we are slipping toward Mussolini style corporatism

http://www.infowars.com/has-ron-paul-formed-a-political-alliance-with-mitt-romney/comment-page-4/#comment-3048021
“The National Defense Authorization Act was voted on twice & Ron Paul VOTED NO on the bill in the house that ultimately became the NDAA. During the reconciliation committee (the 2nd vote) there were too many ‘yays’ for anybodys vote to make a difference. Ron Paul went to the debate because the bill had already passed at that point.”

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 1:45pm@LOOK Ron Paul’s military plan is nowhere near as “guns-off” as it’s characterized. For immediate threats concerning 2012, the military spending will have only been cut 10%, maxing out at being cut 15%. Military spending overall is only 5-6% of our GDP as reported by The World Bank, which means he’d only be reducing it to 4-5%.
Report Post »West Coast Patriot
Posted on February 19, 2012 at 3:31pmRon Paul is the only one talking of cutting one trillion the first year! Part of that is cutting the military budget, and strengthening the defense budget. Our military budget is spent more overseas than here at home strengthening our defense. This is what a lot of people still do not understand as the media does not talk about this. We are stronger with Pauls foriegn policy and weaker with our foriegn policy now. I am not sure what it will take to wake up the people, that either do not have the time or are just too lazy to research on their own.

But the difference is between a giant leap towards authoritarianism (Obama, second term), and a small step towards authoritarianism (Newt, Mitt, Rick). Both options are evil, and I refuse to vote for evil.
In order to preserve our repuiblic, we must have a constitutionalist. Ron Paul is the only one we have. Even Mitt recognized this when he deferred a debate question on constitutionality to Ron Paul.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 9:38amHe is right. I would have fought hard against anyone who used that word just a few years ago, but now when I read about our own Congress authorizing the denial of habeas corpus and due process to American citizens merely ACCUSED of crimes, of raids on Amish farms, of denying cow owners the right to drink the milk of their own cattle, of people being physically molested simply as a result of wanting to fly on private jet airliners, of Executive orders in the hundreds vitiating the intent and letter of the Constitution, of the Supreme Court plainly exceeding its mandate to such an extent that it often operates as an extension of the Legislative Branch, of an unregulated Federal Reserve gifting hundreds of billions of dollars to already prosperous banks, I agree.
Our most pressing danger is not an attack on Israel. That is Israel’s most pressing danger. Our most pressing danger is not a terrorist attack. We have had none in ten years, despite the patent simplicity of causing random violence.
Our most pressing threat is the size and power of our government. If we lose our freedom, it does not matter who our external enemies are, as we will have lost our soul as a nation. This is preventable, but only if we grasp how hot the water we are in has become.

God forbid someone actually meant what he said.
They gave us McCain, last time around, Had it not been for Palin nobody would ever remember who opposed Obama.
Now they have anointed Romney as the “next in line’
Since he has not told us what he would do specifically, all Obama has to do is talk of the points of agreement, starting with Top down healthcare.
Santorum or Sanctorum as he will likely be referred to at some point is a joke, appealing to the most socially rigid electorate, with a record of big government that almost rivals Obama. His positions on gun control will destroy his candidacy . He is a holier that thou socially and limited man.
Gingrich had my attention for a while, but then did the stupid things he usually does.
Paul is my favorite, and I can hope he garners enough delegates to play an important role in choosing the next nominee.
I truly believe we need to come up with someone who inspires passion from what I do not think the GOP realize is the electorate now.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 11:27am@ Time, you said:
“In our personal lives and in the cultural engagements that lie ahead, there is a lot of messy work to be done. It will not be done by the Ron Paul camp – I guarantee it. You know it is true in your heart of hearts. I do not want to insult the psychological make-up of Ron Paul fans. Rather, I want those of you to echo Bruce Springsteen’s delicious close to the masterpiece song Thunder Road: ‘It’s a town full of losers and I’m pulling out of here to win’”.
I am thinking that the person who said that ‘quote’ is not aquainted with the spirit of people who love Liberty. Rick should even back Ron Paul( but he can’t even acknowledge that he is a candidate) since he is bringing religion and tradition into the the race! Why? Because Liberty and strong faith go hand in hand. Scripture tells us that “Where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty” It is what our founders believed and built this nation on. Today we have almost lost this.
“The Ron Paul camp won’t do it” this author claims. The Ron Paul people have BEEN doing it since 2006! Ron himself has been doing it for decades.

This next “Oops” you want us to partake in will lead to WWIII, with a dictator at the helm calling all the shots, Whether the dictator is Obama, Santorum, or Romney.
Ron Paul, has no problem attacking Iran. He just wants congress to Declare War. Why do you insane conspiracy Nuts, continue to cry about Obama overstepping his authority, but you are fine if Rick Santorum or Romney make a unilateral decision, without congress, to attack Iran?
Everything the other candidates talk about is geared toward doing the exact same thing Obama is doing except from a Republican perspective. Seems very hypocritical to me.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 1:14pmThe masses that were weeping over the death of Kim Jong Il and the frantic online defenders of Ron Paul have something in common, it isn’t the man they care about. It’s what he represents.
The course of events that took Paul and turned him into the made man of a motley crew of online gambling entrepreneurs, racists, conspiracy theorists and the whole big circus tent filled with offshore accounts, UFO landing sites and copies of the Turner Diaries is an odd one, but not a completely unusual one.
Cults of personality are not about the man, but about the need that he fills in his followers. There is a point at which every dictator, rock star and celebrity realizes that it is the people who adore him that are in charge and all he can do is ride the wave of adulation. The men don’t matter, the reasons why people seize on them do matter.
Why Ron Paul? Because like so many at the center of a cult of personality, he is everything to everyone. The big tent he presides over is full of people who don’t agree on very much. They are a nexus of opposition to ‘everything’, but they’re also a collection of groups that splinter faster than old wood in a thunderstorm.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 1:16pmRon Paul’s program which is big on ambitious assaults on the government, but short on the details, finesses many of those disagreements. Gay rights? Abortion? Immigration? If you squint and only pay attention to the right statements, then Ron Paul is for you. Like Santa’s little elves, his followers spread his selective word by focusing in on target demographics and barraging them with talking points that make it seem like Ron Paul is on their side. Whose side is Ron Paul on? Most likely his own.
The simplest reason why Ron Paul has become the perennial candidate of the Ringling Bros circus is a combination of two things. A past in which he marketed himself heavily to conspiracy theorists as a former member of Congress and a present in which he is a member of Congress.
The left has no shortage of Ron Pauls in Congress, cranks and loons like Shirley Jackson Lee and Pete Stark. When they want to run the chief loon of their side who thinks that the government is beaming radio waves into their brain at the behest of the military industrial complex, they have Cynthia McKinney, the presidential candidate for the Green Party in 2008, who was endorsed by Ron Paul. But their pickings on the Republican side are slimmer. It’s Ron Paul or it’s nobody.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 1:20pmWho is the real Ron Paul? Like the real Obama it doesn’t really matter. It’s the people who have gathered behind him that are interesting. Their politics are primarily negative. They share a common paranoia and ruthlessness with Obama’s supporters, but while Obama’s supporters wanted power, they claim not to want it. And yet their campaigns have been exercises in seizing power, in media manipulation, intimidation and deception. There is no real difference between their tactics and those of their far-left, but we are to believe that there is a difference in goals.
That may be true, and yet the purpose of power is power. Those who seize power ultimately use it and revolutionaries who promise that their tactics will change once they are no longer insurgents are not to be believed. The most troubling thing about the Ron Paul campaign is not Ron Paul, but his supporters. It is they who define him more than he defines them. Their collective bum rush isn’t just violent, it’s simmering with a familiar paranoid cunning laced with bigotry, manipulation and lies. It’s the behavior of people who believe they are entitled to power and will do anything to get it.

I’ve been down this road and the topic of this article is of significance in the broader realization.
Why do we have bases all over the world? The answer would be “to protect our interests”. When one researches the actual basis of those interests, they are corporate in nature and have no value at all in either protecting our citizens nor the citizens of the nations we are in. Its strictly business at is basest level.
“Interests” can also be defined by the corporations donating campaign money to the powerbrokers, who then enjoy the benefit of a mercenary force paid by the US taxpayer. In that sense of the arrangement, the Government corporation is protecting its own interest in maintaining power – and nothing else. Going further, if one accepts the governments of nations as being “corporate”, then we are subsidizing their nations/corporations by providing mercenary forces to free up capital that isn’t benefitting the US taxpayer.
Our military is being used as a Fascist tool of the US Government, favored Corporations, and the corporate governments of other nations.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 8:40amI think this is the first time lately that I have disagreed with Dr Paul. It isn’t so much Facism rather it is Marxism…with a little Communism and Socialism mixed in…It sure as hell ain’t a free market system.
If we don’t do something drastic the Republic is finished.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 8:52amYou got it brother… Naturally, some of the nit wits will call us “Paulies” I say yea, I’m a Paulie because I want my unabridged freedom and I refuse to give a green light to fueling a war with dollars from China. Ron Paul is the only person to tell the whole truth. These people better wake up and start looking at voting records. This is what our trops are doing thus the reason why Paul has their support in huge numbers.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 9:00amThe question is this…Will the sheeple wake up or will they listen to FOX News and the Main Stream Media? There are a lot of them waking up to the message of TRUE Freedom…We can only hope.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 9:37am@Baddoggy: Just FYI, it is now commonly refered to as “state capitalism.” China, and Shanghai specifically, are leading examples of this economic/political merger. Oligarchs, technocrats, enforcers and servants seem to be the socioeconomic classes. You may remember Jim Rogers on Beck’s FNC program saying the smartest thing you could do is teach your children Mandarin, or TIME magazine a few years ago heralding Shanghai as the model of the future. Well, this is that future.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 9:39amGutcheck,,,It is Marxism moreso thatn Facism…..Facism involves a religious “righteous” overlord. They look the same in most instances, bt be assured it is more Marxist than anything. Marxism is without any religion involved for the most part and the irradication of it…See the difference?
Now Rick Santorum…he would bring in a form of Facism. And you heard that warning from an Evangelical…
