After reading this book I am much wiser now to the false choices that are offered to the people. Ron Paul is a brilliant man, who has a vision that is consistent with that of The Founding Forefathers. That is a vision of what "freedom and liberty" truely are. Thank you Dr. Paul Thank You.

It's more fun, not to mention influential, to be writing Notes on Virginia, or the Revolution, and let one's disciples do the footwork. This volume does an admirable job of creating that philosophically informed rank and file. Do you want to join our party, the Party of None of The Above, and make a real revolution? Then this is the read for you! Thank You. Was this review helpful?
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: WTF America?! What else do you need, a gun to your head?! 7/10/2008 I have heard many remarks that have perniciously evaluated and rebuked the political ideologies of Ron Paul. The most common I come across is, "That man is nuts!" The irony here is that when you look at the core of what he stands for it edifies all that every American should stand for: the Constitution and a free Republic, with a very limited CENTRALIZED government. The unfortunate instance is that our population is becoming unfathomably comfortable allowing the Federal government the freedom of regulating our liberties to the extent of its interpretations as to what liberty means. In a nation that is becoming evermore politically docile and withdrawn I would not expect the masses to understand the principles of what this nation was built upon. Especially, since the Federal government has subsidized and seized the nation's educational system and curriculum. Paul identifies a myriad of issues that are quite odiously befuddling as to why they are here in the great America: from the increasing power of the Supreme Court; increasing power of the President; decreasing sovereignty of States; diminishing civil rights of the citizens; the perplexing and superfluous use of "national security" to lie or hinder knowledge from the public and to aid passage of bills sight unseen; excessive regulation based on "problem, reaction, solution"; government intervention into the free market; frivolously dispersed military; the waging of countless unnecessary wars; the welfare system; dependence of Americans on the Federal government; etc., so forth and ever continuous! As Americans, which is fortunate in this REPUBLIC, we can fight back against all of these issues and regulate that which needs regulation and reform. For those of us whom follow Paul and the Constitution find ourselves up against a monolithic edifice on civilian ground. The people of America have been groomed to see political issues in two dimensional idiosyncrasies: Republican fix and Democratic fix-which Paul did run for the Republican nomination, but his ideologies are in Constitutionalism. Anything outside of the Republican and Democrat ideologies is unacceptable and will be repudiated by the American population, which is sad. We, the people that say no to the orthodox, are quirks and conspiracy theorists. In my personal opinion those who would refute what Paul has to say is far from living INDEPENDENT, and has sold their independence for dependence (government regulation and "security") as they genuflect before the FED. Overall I feel the thesis of this book is that "the Constitution is not an antiquated and obfuscating document." If one were to read the Constitution you would be frightened to see where our rights and liberties have been seized, and if this continues before long we will see the Bill of Rights abrogated. Being the brilliant men they were the Framers of this Constitution knew exactly what they were writing, and the intent of LIMITING CENTRAL GOVERNMENT was the premise. These men had an arduous task before them to create a document that would perturb an intrusive central government. As successful as they were FEDERALISM seems to have prevailed and now we as Americans need to wake up from our political indifference and allow our apathy to be cured by the sacred documents of America that are NOT, indeed, antiquated or obfuscated. [Stepping from my soapbox] The only issue I have with the book is its length, it should have been much longer. However, the amount of impact that the book does carry is definitely a detriment that will be felt by the current political orthodoxy. This book should be read by any American who believes in the principles upon which this country was founded, and should be required reading for all high school seniors. Thank You.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: A must read for any patriot. 7/10/2008 This is an easy to read common sense analysis of current political problems and the best way to solve them. Every aspect is bound by the chains of the Constitution in such a way as it is in the spirit of the Constitutional Convention and our Founding Fathers. I highly recomend this reading to any one who seriously cares about the fate of our nation. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: The emperor has no clothes! 7/9/2008 Ron Paul has seen the man behind the curtain of political manipulation and lies and told it like it is. We are slaves. However much we don't like to put it that way, there is no way around it. A totalitarian regime is not distinguished by the severity of its regime, its terror and its concentration camps, but rather by the fact that it does not recognize in principle any limits to the legitimate exercise of its power, and that every sphere of its subjects' lives are proper aspects of state control. This is precisely what we have. We have made our government our god: all-wise, all-benevolent, all-powerful, and the source of our provision and safety. The reality is far otherwise, and the clouds are gathering so darkly that it is now almost impossible to fail to recognize that something is deeply wrong. But we insist on limiting ourselves every four years to two candidates who only differ on irrelevant details and are perfectly unified on fundamentals: the size, scope and power of the state. The illusion of the choice that we are presented is between an eternity of illegal wars, domestic spying, and police state on the one hand, and an exploding welfare state and forced wealth redistribution on the other hand, all guaranteed by the force and violence of the state. More and more of these things are what we have to look forward to. Economically, our government has been a malignant cancer draining the incredible productivity of Americans for almost one hundred years now. By their own statistics, our dollar is worth 94% less than what it was in 1914 when the government in its infinite wisdom and benevolence saw fit to take over the management of it. And remember: that wealth did not disappear, it was stealthily redistributed to the politicians and their special-interest groups. The government manipulators and interventionists cause the bubbles and crashes, but to fix them they promise us more manipulation and intervention. The Austrian economists were the only ones to predict the Great Depression, the dot-com bubble, and now the housing bubble, but they are sneered at by establishment Keynesians and welfare statists. How bad is it going to get before we are willing to take them seriously? Pretty bad. Our combined national debt and unfunded social program liabilities are around $70 trillion now. Ron Paul thinks we can turn that around (not, of course, by more manipulation and government intervention, but by less). Perhaps we can. But the point is entirely academic, because no one else is even acknowledging the question, let alone offering an answer. There are economic laws in the universe, laws of supply and demand, cause and effect, even moral laws ("You shall not steal" which has been amended by our society to "You shall not steal, except by majority vote"). We have pretended there are no laws, but it's the day of reckoning, and the laws won't go away any more than the law of gravity will. What we have in Washington is the precise and specific government that our founding fathers intended to prevent. They did pretty well, for about a hundred years, which is a long time to withstand the attacks of the insatiable lust for power. In a free society, the people get the government they deserve, and if we don't turn it around real soon on this road we've chosen, no one is going to like the outcome. In 2008 we don't have a choice to make. Ron Paul offered us a real alternative, a few people listened, but it is not an alternative that is acceptable to the establishment statists, Republicans or Democrats. Buy this book. Read it. Get your friends to read it. Let the Revolution begin! Thank You. Was this review helpful?
