Something to Hope For

Instead of attacking Obama and his supporters, Ron Paul congratulates the President elect using Obama's own message of hope as a challenge. He challenges the new administration with something concrete to hope for:

• Hope for less divisiveness through recognizing individual achievement over group-think and identity politics
• Hope for free markets without Government intervention
• Hope for prosperity through American productivity without Government controls, regulations, and corporate cronyism
• Hope for sound money
• Hope for peace and diplomacy
• Hope for national sovereignty
• Hope for a nonintervention foreign policy

These are the standards that "we the people" should use to judge the new administration. If we can keep these points of "hope" in front of the public view and measure Obama's progress against these, we have a mechanism to help others see the false hope they succumbed to.

Dollar Standard Coming to an End

Ron Paul talks about what he thinks will be discussed during the Global Economic Summit that is occurring this weekend. He thinks they will discuss the internationalization of a central bank combined with a new monetary system to replace the failing dollar standard.

Lexington KY Smoke Free? Bingo!

Apparently it is time to shorten the leash of freedom a bit more in Lexington. It has been four years since the original smoking ban was passed by city council. The council will hold a public forum on October 23, 2008 to discuss the additional restrictions.

Crazytown USA

Peter Schiff, author of "Crash Proof" has accurately predicted the housing bubble. However, the so called experts at CNBC loved to laugh at him. But, now they don't laugh so loud.

I'm a Man of Means by no Means

Regardless of your position on the debate between a fiat monetary supply system or a gold-backed standard, you have to admit that those currently in charge of the money supply are destroying our wealth. In 1983, Ron Paul argued against the fiat monetary system believing it took the power away from those that created the wealth and gave it to those that printed the paper that represented the wealth. For Ron Paul, misrepresentation of wealth is a moral issue.
