Product Description:
There is no doubt that Ron Paul has become the enchanter of the disenchanted, but the best way to-understand him is to take a quick look at his voting record.- He has never voted to raise taxes.- He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.- He has never voted to raise congressional pay.- He has never taken a government-paid junket.- He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.- He voted against the Patriot Act.- He voted against regulating the Internet.- He voted against the Iraq war.--In fact, Congressman Paul's consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few." Operating from a unique strain of libertarian republicanism, Ron Paul's beliefs are refreshingly logical, even if you disagree with his principles. He is a Republican in the truest sense of the word, not at all what that word has grown to represent. At a recent Republican debate, the candidates were asked if they would go to war with Iran. All of them bumbled on about consulting lawyers, the cabinet, and their delegates. Ron Paul, outraged somewhat, stated quite simply, "This idea of consulting attorneys just baffles me. Why don't we just open up the Constitution and read it? You're not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war!" This is his call to arms for a nation that needs to change, but doesn't know how. Barry Goldwater defined a conservative in the 1960's, and with this manifesto, Ron Paul redefines it for the modern day.

- It just makes sense
It just makes sense - it's that simple. It amazes me that anyone could be turned off by Ron Paul and his beliefs. The book is a very quick read, and lays things out plain and simple. He discusses foreign policy, the Constitution, economic policy, and much more. He asks many thought-provoking questions concerning the situations we'd be in if we DID follow his advice - in my mind, we'd be in a much better place. I'd challenge any reader to find a good argument otherwise.

- Ron Paul is brilliant...
I am 20 years old, and first stumbled upon Ron Paul back when he originally declared his intent to run for President. I'd heard his name before, and immediately began seeing "Who is Ron Paul?" chalked all around campus. I always considered myself "conservative," but am attending school at a former East-coast hotbed for left wing radicalism (and where more than 85% of the people voted for Obama a couple weeks ago).

Curious, I looked him up, and was intrigued, but read some things about how "radical" he was and kind of dismissed it back then. Return to a gold standard? Seemed so crazy at the time...

Then the Bear Stearns bail out came along. Followed by AIG, and then the big whammy. I couldn't come to grips with this - everyone couldn't stop talking about how ... Read More

- Ron Paul's Manifesto: A Lesson in Liberty
Ron Paul's manifesto has been well worth purchasing. What was most refreshing and worthwhile about this book is that Paul draws from a varied history of works. Paul presents an argument that has not been completely understood by the media, or by his own party. Ron Paul traces the meaning of conservativism in America from its roots to how it has transformed today into something barely recognizable. This is an especially interesting read now that the Republican party is undecided in which direction it should go in the future. Ron Paul maps out very neatly where he believes his party's focus should be.

Even if you do not agree with Ron's philosophy, you will experience a paradigm shift in the way you view politics.

- The REAL change
This is a great book. It tells you about many of the problems that this country faces. You come to learn that many of these problems could have been avoided if well followed the rules by our founding fathers written in the US constitution. It is great to see that there is a man that I can trust that believes in personal freedom and equal rights, both socially and financially. This is something that neither republicans or democrats have. Too bad his campaign did not lead to success. A must read for anyone on the political spectrum, especially those who desire change.
