Obama to Sign Bill Allowing Indefinite Detention of American Citizens

It’s official. The PATRIOT Act gave the federal government the ability to wiretap U.S. citizens without warrants. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which Obama has now promised to sign into law, grants the federal government the ability to detain U.S. citizens indefinitely without trial. So much for the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution [...]

Ron Paul: Respect Israel’s Sovereignty and Independence

People commonly criticize Ron Paul as being “anti-Semite” or “anti-Israel,” without taking the time to investigate Paul’s foreign policy and what benefits it would have to Israel. Paul proposes that Israel should control its own policies without the U.S. intervening every step of the way. What Israel does with its neighbors with regard to treaties, [...]

Ron Paul in 2003: Litmus Test for War

In a February 2003 interview on C-SPAN, Congressman Ron Paul explained his litmus test for whether or not a war is worth fighting: if you yourself are willing to lose your life in war or send your kids and grandchildren to war, then you are sincere.

Ron Paul and Earmarks

Earmarks are typically given a bad rap, sometimes for legitimately good reasons. However, when politicians like John McCain nearly base their entire presidential campaign on earmarks alone, it is blowing this issue wildly out of proportion. Blaming earmarks for the national debt burden is like blaming a single mosquito for your blood loss while Dracula [...]

Ron Paul Schools Mitt Romney

In last night’s debate, Ron Paul once again proved he’s the only candidate who knows much about anything that’s going on in Washington D.C. today. Calling for budget reform without even considering cutting foreign aid and militarism is absurd, but unfortunately most Democrats and Republicans won’t dare cut America’s military adventurism. Apparantly quite a few others thought [...]

We Who Say No to War

“Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government’s policy, especially in time of war.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr. War is the failure of human interaction. So long as people believe that obliterating and aggressively controlling other human beings increases liberty and security, [...]

Ron Paul: 16 Year Old American Citizen was Assassinated
