Ron Paul so far in the New Hampshire primaries is second. Two hamlets voted last night, McCain received 10 votes, Mike Huckabee 5, Ron Paul 4, Romney 3 and Rudy Giuliani 1. Of course the big news is that Obama crushed everyone on the Dem side with 16 votes, Clinton 3, John Edwards 3 and [...]

There is a great article by Chuck Baldwin, founding pastor of Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida, titled: We Desperately Need The “Confessing Church” where he makes a very good comparison between the Christian Churches in Nazi Germany that supported Hitler, and the Christian Church today that supports Bush and the Neo-Cons (read all the [...]

Not only does CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin lie about the existince of the North American Union, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the NAFTA Super Highway, none of the other 5 people on the screen with him correct him, though some of them clearly know better.
Here is a great video about the move [...]

There was another GOP debate on Fox last night. Initial reports are that the moderators were attempting to skew the questions and format against Ron Paul. However, Ron Paul rose to the occasion, and won the text messaging poll afterwards. Fox tried to downplay the results saying that they were messed with, despite the fact [...]

I saw yet another great video posted over at Daily Paul, but first a quote of Ron Paul’s that the video had:
The obligation of our representatives in Washington is to protect liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people. - Ron Paul

I saw over at Daily Paul that Ron Paul placed 3rd in the Texas Straw Poll.
Seeing how the party did their best to keep him from being able to get any votes at all, this is a truly amazing victory.
Third place puts him well ahead of Giuliani and Romney, the media’s favorites. Duncan Hunter finished [...]

I saw the best Ron Paul video yet over at Daily Paul:
I think 50 to 100 years or so from now, the nation will look back at this time as either the time we changed things for the better by electing Ron Paul, or missing our last chance. Many of Ron Paul’s quotes will be [...]

I did my first Ron Paul Meetup today. I helped with setting up the Ron Paul booth at the Stark County fair. The main people seemed to mostly have things under control so my main contribution was holding the ladder steady at one point. However it was good meeting a few other Ron Paul supporters. [...]

I think the video speaks volumes for itself, as it says in the video “It isn’t about politics it is about freedom.”

Lew Rockwell notes that while the media had 4,800 articles about the Iowa straw poll which Romney bought his way to victory, there have been only 162 combined reports on all 5 polls in which Ron Paul won, only Fred Thompson has won more.
Taking things into more perspective, Ron Paul has placed in the top [...]

While the media gladly reported the surface story of the Iowa straw poll, though none of them really mentioned Dr. Paul’s 5th place finish, one network going so far as to mention 1 to 4 and then jump to 6th… None of them seem to be covering the Alabama or New Hampshire Straw Polls. In [...]

Google invited Ron Paul to their main campus where he received a big reception. Of course given Ron Paul’s popularity with the Internet crowd and the younger voters, this isn’t surprising.
Amoung Paul’s best quotes, “I want to be President, not because I want to run your lives. I don’t want to be President to run [...]

Here is the video of Ron Paul interviewed by George Stephanopolous, Paul’s first real exposure on mainstream media, and with him topping McCain in fund raising, it may be just the start. I think the personal liberty message, the anti-war, non-intervention policy, and small government message is resonating with more and more people as they [...]

Ron Paul’s campaign has more money on hand than McCain, and is now third in fund raising. It will be harder and harder for the major media outlets to ignore him much longer. His Iowa rally had more people, who were more excited then the rally that he was kept out of due to it [...]

American Chronicle had, until they pulled it for violating it’s editorial policy, an op-ed that attacked Ron Paul and his supporters, who he said were “incorrigible haters of America and . . . congenital bangers of whatever America represents.”
I was under the impression that us Ron Paul supporters were among the people who most love [...]

A good video from Ron Paul’s campaign about Freedom from the only candidate who stands for full freedom, peace and prosperity.
Remember, don’t vote for a party or against a party. Vote for who is best for the United States. Vote for Ron Paul.

I just briefly mentioned inflation the other day in my Rethinking Ethanol post, and today I saw an article titled Confiscation Through Inflation, which I highly recommend everyone read…heck require everyone to read.
Here is a related clip from Aaron Russo’s From Freedom to Fascism (which despite it’s title relates more to the Federal Reserve and [...]

Why should a Democrat vote for Ron Paul in the primaries? So that the war issue is largely taken off the table and the debates can be focused on other issues. If the Republicans get anybody else in, then the only thing that will be debated for the most part is the war, and none [...]

Head over to the Daily Paul and read Manipulating America’s Choice for President, a reprint of an article from the June 22 , 2007 edition Joel Skousen’s World Affairs Brief.
I have to say, as an aside, I really like Ron Paul’s new official site. This redesign looks high profile.
Meanwhile, Ron Paul will be on G4’s [...]
