The REAL change November 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great book. It tells you about many of the problems that this country faces. You come to learn that many of these problems could have been avoided if well followed the rules by our founding fathers written in the US constitution. It is great to see that there is a man that I can trust that believes in personal freedom and equal rights, both socially and financially. This is something that neither republicans or democrats have. Too bad his campaign did not lead to success. A must read for anyone on the political spectrum, especially those who desire change.

A Wake Up Call November 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book helped open my eyes to the gradual erosion of the personal and economic rights and principles set forth in our Constitution. Ron Paul not only shows how and why legislators, with the help of the president, continually pass legislation that erodes our freedom and our economic well being, but he also offers solutions. If you read this book, you will likely be outraged at the shear audacity and ignorance of many of our elected officials. If enough of us become outraged, and follow up with actions to help restore our laws and policies to follow the Constitution, then we will have the "Revolution" that Dr. Paul espouses.
Nails down the issues that offend the status quo November 14, 2008

I highly recommend this book, especially as a precursor to Ron Paul's other books. IT WASN'T THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE THAT GOT OBAMA ELECTED. IT WAS THE BETRAYAL BY THE REPUBLICANS OF THEIR CONSTITUENCY that got Obama elected. Frankly, the Republicans treated Ron Paul terrible at the debate. The socalled neutral arbiter Chris Wallace made sarcastic remarks about Paul's view on the Federal Reserve and so on. Sean Hannity showed more hospitality to Barney Frank than to Ron Paul. O'Reilly called Ron Paul a pinhead. It was traitors like Hannity and O'Reilly who got Obama elected. Putting a loser like McCain was an insult to the conservative public. Abandoning the pro-life plank is an even bigger insult. Like the book "Tempting Faith," this book shows how far gone the two party system has gone. There was some life in the Republican party. But, now it's dead. I'll never vote Republican again. I'd die rather than vote Democrat. The fact our government continues to represent everybodies' interest other than American interest shows we are in need of serious house cleaning. Our public officials have sworn to uphold the laws of our land and defend the interests of our people. They betray that oath to the point of high treason. Sending our troops to die for Israeli interest is pathetic. Using tax payer dollars to escort foreign merchandise across the ocean is pathetic. You can sell Japanese cars in America, but you cannot sell American cars in Japan. You can sell Chinese goods in America, but you go through a hopeless wall of red tape and bureaucracy in order to sell anything American in China. When Traficant can go to jail for questioning Israeli control of our government, and get railroaded with impunity, we are a people held hostage. And when the much preferable Ron Paul is gerrymandered out of the primaries by putting forth a barrage of candidates, with McCain getting elected at the primaries, we see that Kenneth Arrow wasn't kiddin' when he said that voting can be manipulated to defeat the most popular candidate and give victory to the most unpopular candidate. That is what this book is all about. It makes plain the original text of American first politics. The Republican party today is what the democratic party was fifteen years ago. There is no checks and balances. What it doesn't say but wants to say is the masonic and juwish role in undermining that fabric of that original text.
Perhaps the greatest politician of our time... November 13, 2008

Ron Paul tells it like it is. He isn't beholden to special interests. He is only beholden to the constitution, and promotes freedom like no other. It is a shame that this country is so blinded by the propoganda in the mainstream media and the two party system. If Ron Paul was our President there would be real change, a reestablishment of civil liberties, constituional rights, a non interventionist foreign policy that promote free trade. He would abolish the IRS and replace it with...NOTHING! He would get rid of NAFTA, Take us out of th UN, and bring our military home to defend our borders. There are somewhere around 195 countries, and we have troops in 130 of them. This book discusses a lot of these issues. Dr. Paul is getting older and knows that he won't be able to run for office forever. I think his main goal now is to inspire freedom loving Americans to get involved. To run for office and promote freedom, or atleast become informed and become active in some capacity. Anyway, this book is well worth reading.
A book that spreads the words of a hero November 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is one written by a hero.
A book that helps to obtain insight into living with principle.
Read this book to your children.
They will look at the world through the sincerity of your voice.
Your children may still find direction through guidance.
Our time has past.
America is a dying country.
I salute Ron Paul and all of the honest people who fight for moral conduct.
I am not very optimistic of the outcome of their efforts.
Nevertheless, I appreciate those who put up the honest fight to the bitter end.
A toast to those of the r3volution!
As the ship sinks, may we go down with a conscience as clear as our bank accounts.
