Here Dr. Paul talks on the House floor about the horribly unjust and inequitable drug war, and an effort to stem some of the greatest sentencing abuses. It's a good start, but does not go far enough, Paul concludes.
Very well said Ron Paul, I am still laughing because it is so damn true.
Here we have these managers to manage and they don't have any experience managing in any other format other than Government. None of their decision making is measured by the results, so they have no basis in which to manage.
The statistics of Government in states and on the federal level is very poor at best because they have not realized how to sustain themselves with out steeling from the work force. This only builds resentments and does nothing to bring about prosperity.
The drug war you speak of is one of the many examples of failure on a large scale and this is not put into the decision process, they just keep making it bigger and the mess keeps getting bigger. When do we ask, when is a mess too big? Because they grow it bigger doesn’t fix it, it complicates it and with these results alone we could start a course on how to salvage stupid because we are going to need it. Stupid is by far our biggest growing asset in this country, at this rate we are going to be overrun by the stupid and stupid doesn't manage anything. If you cannot manage yourself you cannot possibly manage any other.
Yes, government intervention creates more problems for the government to intervene in. This cycle inevitably leads to the diminishing of liberties and the growth of the nanny state. Cheers to Ron Paul. It is unfortunate that he is one of but a few of Congress who are actually qualified to represent the people rather than personal interest.
I like how Mr. Paul seemed rather pissed at the end of his statement. Check out the way he walked off. I think he is started to grow tired of the way things are going. Ron is always a calm, collective guy but, I think once the primaries roll around, he is going to start getting a little more blunt with quite a few individuals. I'm hoping he points out numerous flaws with the way that Republicans and Democrats both have been running the show.

Ron was on the Morton downey Junior show back in 1988.
Mort, said to Ron that once alcohol was legalised you had many million more Alcoholics in the country.
How would legalising the drugs end drug usage, it won't.
But aren't some drugs just so bad they need to be banned?
