Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
This is exactly what we've been seeing since the Reagan administration and kicked into overdrive from W. The hard right wing, military industrial complex, corporatist fascism is well on it's way to becoming a reality. Most all sane people know this, and yes Ron Paul is the only major candidate who with fight against it and stand for liberty.

No, No, No!!!
Well before him.

It really got going in 1964 and LBJ. Military bases popped up everywhere all over the globe under LBJ's control.

We have been the world's police force at the cost of our blood and economy, with nothing in return.... NOTHING!!!

Powerful words, very strong and stern. And i do believe today, that along with all that was said, we have long lost so many of our traditions. How many back then, knew it was coming.

The self-identified conservatives of his time, in both parties, certainly didn't think so.

I'd like you to find one instance of one person who (a) identified himself/herself as a conservative during the period of Kennedy's political life, 1946-1963, and (b) expressed overall support during Kennedy's presidency, 1961-1963.

Happy hunting.

November 22, 1817, when General Jackson attacked Florida to protect slave interests in Georgia, was the date everything started going to pieces for this country as an attempt at a free and peaceable society.

This video brought a lot of emotion to me. I though I'd share.
JFK was a brilliant man.

Maybe...

But I fantasize about getting a Republican like Eisenhower (long gone unfortunately) or a Democrat like Kennedy (unfortunately long gone also)

The wackjobs on the left and right have tag teamed to destroy a once great nation

With age, is wisdom.


That is all you have? Age as your trump card.
No wonder this nation is a mess.

Giving the keys to an immature punk and the candy store gets ransacked.



JFK warned us.
Ron Paul warned us.

Did you listen?
