The old republican is the new libertarian. November 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book puts an enlightening perspective between the monster organization the current republican party has evolved in to compared with its founding ideals. If the republican party followed its own agenda, as outlined in this book, everyone would be republican! Ask yourself, are you happy with this endless war, an insane foreign policy where we are policing the world, a monetary policy that has plunged our dollars value, and elimination of our civil rights, among many other areas? Most people are fed up with all of these and would place the blame clearly on the republican administration we have had for the last 8 years; however, most people would not realize that this is NOT what the republican party stands for at all.
Ron Paul does an excellent job of re-centering the integrity of the republican party with this book -- if only republicans would pay attention. You dont have to agree with every point in this book; most who read this would probably not agree with Ron Pauls views on abortion. However, he respectfully explains what led himself to this position, and everyone could agree with him that federal government should not interfere one way or another.
It was interesting, while reading this book I picked up a Freedom handbook at a hotdog stand in Berkeley. Inside the handbook was a review of The Revolution, and even though Ron Paul still considers himself a republican, this review places The Revolution clearly in the libertarians library. It made me realize, the old republican is the new libertarian.
Where was this book decades ago? November 7, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have always been a fan of personal liberty. Dr. Ron Paul has convinced me the only way to achieve that is through smaller government, just like our nation's framers intended. Excellent, quick, but on-target read.
politicians need to have power to be able to understand why they don't have to bestow power November 7, 2008 0 out of 36 found this review helpful
Hello there,
Politicians can't bestowe power upon others. Neither can any extraterrestrials. The human race's present mission has always been to be the positive extraterrestrials. In fact , the word 'politics'is composed of two terms - the Greek term 'poli'which means 'state'and 'ticks'which are small insects which crawl out of the skin of their victims. So if people feel that their skins should be crawled out of - literally they can vote for either wing of the same bird , but that won't change the bird's flight path. Therefore a decision was made to remove the ability of ANY future administreation to decide the fate of it's civilians or to attempt to control peoples'minds , either directly , indirectly or even accidentally. The results of this decision became known as EVP analysis - use it to analyze any politician to find out which one represents your interests and which one doesn't. And NEVER give your identity or personal information about you to someone you don't know. The most important decisions on the last matter had to be so precicely calculated in advance that there would be absolutely no way for any future presidential candidate , to loose if he or she would attempt to appoint office from the perspective of representing humankind rather than somebody or something 'else'. To enable this to take place , the White House had to be suspended and the US capitol will most probably be moved to Omaha , Nebraska in the remote future. The politicians of any country in this world do not reply to emails , and therefore are not responsive. So when you are living in a country run by people who are operating in a transfixed , non - responsive state , what do you do? You run as fast as you can and as far as you can away from them to any location you presume to be safe , so that you can start life all over again and live it safely , and wait and hope to the best of the ability of each one of them to wake up and realize what's going on in the real world , rather than an imaginary place composed of honest governments and lifeless , planetary bodies. I don't even live where Ron Paul lives so I am lucky enough to be able to say outright , that I don't give a damn about any vote right now.
warm regards,
Real Change starts with Ron Paul, not Barack Obama! November 7, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Now the world has great enthusiasm for Barack Obama as US President everyone believes change will happen. In this book Ron Paul explains that both policies of the Democrats & Republicans are anti-constitutional and it's the system that needs to change first. This book is a must read for every American as I predict that Obama will bring improvement initially as expectations are high, but soon things will slip as inflation skyrockets (result of government bailouts) then the field will be ripe for Ron Paul to put forward a solid candidacy for President in 2012 and he will bring REAL Change & improvement.
This book is read, I read it from cover to cover in a few hours.
This Book Changed my Life November 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A friend turned me on to Ron Paul so I purchased his book. This has got to be the best book on conservative political thought that I have ever read. Dr. Paul is clear and passionate without being repetitive. The book reads quickly and you may discover you don't want to put this one down after you pick it up. If you have read Goldwater;s "Conscience of a Conservative" you will like this one even more.
