Ron Paul and his failure to be president or even rise to senator is old history as is his speeches.

So name one of his predictions that was specific and right.

Even in the above thread, all he does is make a vague argument about arming federal agents, something that wasnt even a prediction since it had already happened by the time of his speech. The only other part of his argument was not having authority, which they indeed have, making him wrong if you are claiming this as a prediction. His example of Ruby Ridge and WACO dont even make sense.

Your video is from 2001, so your argument is that his prediction was right,but off by 7 years ?which makes him wrong. Thats like me saying the Seahawks were going to win the Superbowl in 2007, and them not winning until this year.

His very argument in the video is that all bubbles burst. He was making a prediction that it would happen "one day".

Damn, he didn't have the exact day it would pop. At the time nearly everyone else was telling him he was wrong. Right up until the entire thing popped Bernanke was still claiming he was wrong.

He was right. The odd part is those who were hurt the most are those you claim to argue for, the middle and lower classes. It's why nobody takes those arguments seriously.

Should I have used the Bolsheviks instead?

History tends to repeat itself. It's unhealthy to have a government who believes they have power over the people. Again, they came in with far too much power and should have handled it much the way Obama is handling Putin.

They could have frozen all of his accounts making it impossible for him to do business... problem solved with no guns, no dead cattle, and no uprising or conflict.

These government boot lickers can continue to go right on thinking the BLM did the right thing, up until it's them they come after.

He was off by 7 years(and he had been making that argument before this video so he was actually off by more). If he had been off by a couple of months, you would get a pass, but he was off by 7 years, and continued to claim that "this would be the year it failed" right up until it did.


It does not make you right just because you predict the exact same thing every year until it happens. We average a recession every 10 years in this country. Does it make someone right to predict one every year, NO.

The second bold doesnt even make sense, tell me one person who does not claim to care about the middle class ? Did republicans not control congress for the first 6 years of the Bush Administration(2001 Senate tie withstanding)?
