Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.'

'We the people' tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free. This belief has been the underlying basis for everything I've tried to do these past eight years. ~ Ronald Reagan...... TAKE OFF YOUR BLINDERS.

After watching the ABC debates, ABC web anchors just mention yahoo, twitter and facebook with ABC poll and comments NEVER mentioned. Who is the winner? ABC says NEWT but Ron Paul is beating Newt by over 50%. Paul 65% to Newt's 14%

← For the Record : Ron Paul 101
Except Foreign Policy?
Posted on December 10, 2011 by Scott Bain

How many times have you heard one of the talking heads on television or radio say that they agree with Ron Paul on everything except foreign policy? Probably a LOT, would be my guess. I know that I’ve heard it more times than I care to recount. At first I would try to explain the concept of non-intervention to them, usually will minimal success because most people are hopelessly programmed by the television.

However, I’ve long since abandoned that reasonable approach in favor of attacking this issue from another angle. Consider this for moment…

Add the campaign donations given to Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Newt Gingrich together. Heck, let’s throw in Tim Pawlenty & Herman Cain’s military donations while we’re at it. Combine ALL of their donations and then multiply that times two, and Ron Paul STILL has more donations from the military. In all actuality, it’s really closer to THREE times the total of all of the other candidates combined, and might even be higher now that Cain & Pawlenty are out.

This overwhelming evidence shows that Ron Paul is the hands down favorite for our soldiers.

Major General and two time Medal of Honor recipient, Smedley Butler, knew a great deal about this subject, and his words are equally applicable to all warmongers… rich and poor alike.

“How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?

“Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few – the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.”

“And what is this bill?

“This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.”

So next time someone utters that zombiefied, media programmed response about foreign policy, don’t bother trying to reason with them… just ask them what it is that they think they know about foreign policy that our troops don’t.
