Ron Paul shows his true, slimy colors.

We don't often disagrea Ted, it's extremely rare that this happens. But I have to take issue with this one. I haven't seen the specifics of what you poseted yet, so I won't jump too high just yet. however, I am in full agreament with Dr. Paul. the very existence of the federal reserve is at the core of the problems we are facing today. I'm not sure I totaly understand though what your issue was with this. Was it that he just seemed to be playing oportunist like the rest of the crucible trialists on capitol hill? If that is the base of it, then I guess I can understand your outrage. I think he should have been a bit more heroic and called the congress and the treasury department to the mat as well. But he has been one of the very few honest people in congress, a dieing breed that this country is sorely in need of restoring. I don't know that I would let this incident completely taint your opinion of him just yet.

Hello ParaTed, Did you leave out a link or some other explanatory tool here? 'Cause, I'm just not getting your point. Ron Paul getting in on the "witchhunt" against the Federal Reserve is very congruous, as for as I can tell. Rep. Paul had spent the lion's share of his career beating the windmill of abolition of the FRB because it's powers and existence are a direct violation of the US Constitution. Maybe I'm missing something. If so, please do let me in on what I'm not getting, OK?

Did he? Well, you'll have to link me to that. I tried to research what you were talking about and ended up with a transcript of an interview of his on CNN. He didn't point his finger directly at the Federal Reserve. If I recall, he laid the blame all around, including congress and the American people who aren't holding their representatives accountable. Sounds like a pretty fair judgment to me. It's probably not what you were talking about, though.

Thomas Jefferson said: I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies. If the American people ever allow banks to control the issue of currency, the banks and the corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
