- pictureDIGGER, on 01/13/2008, -7/+113I just started reading "Foreign Policy of Freedom" and I must say, this man has been right so many times when he made predictions. Very good read so far.
- h4ckler, on 01/13/2008, -10/+116Never ceases to astound me.
- ruyz, on 01/13/2008, -28/+121dear america,
please respect integrity,
disrepect toltarinism,
support ron paul.
-canada - joeykilluv, on 01/13/2008, -11/+84Ridiculous that he isn't more popular, he is like America's savior.
- FadieZ, on 01/13/2008, -7/+49America, the entire world wants you to vote for this guy. WTF are you waiting for?
/canadian - TripleAStacked, on 01/13/2008, -5/+44Don't Elect Ron PAUL... i like how i can take my Canadian $ to Buffalo and do my shopping!!!!!!
Bush Canadians all thank you!! - modeloxpto, on 01/13/2008, -3/+39That was really impressive. I'm glad that Ron Paul is getting more and more recognition now through his campaign. Even if he doesn't get the nomination, he must be remembered as an extraordinary figure. I'm aware that Digg has been overexposed to RP, but hearing him talk really truly makes me proud to be associated with him.
I feel like these few months have accomplished so much in making me a more responsible member of society. - amy31415, on 01/13/2008, -5/+41Still is, if you look at the rest of the chimps on the Republican stage with him.
- FadieZ, on 01/13/2008, -9/+38I never thought I'd say this (honestly) but why the ***** doesn't Paul have the support of your country? He's the only sane politician on the ***** stand.
- SinkToTheBeat, on 01/13/2008, -3/+32Be warned. Every recession avoided by means of inflation only postpones the inevitable.
- Trillion08, on 01/13/2008, -3/+26Viva La Revolucion. Nice video, and smart for not screaming Ron Paul in the title... They really are fighting us and as much as they are hoping that we will tire or drop our guards, it won't happen. This will be a fight till the end. Notice how digg's main page no longer has a direct link to the '08 Candidates? Is it because when you click on it you see that Ron Paul has thousands more supporters on digg than any other? But it's not just on digg, it's everywhere..
Fighting the Ron Paul movement is like the MPAA's losing battle over file sharing..
We will win =) - Brad324, on 01/13/2008, -3/+24Ron Paul is the only one who would disallow the federal government to restrict both of these things. It's too bad people will be manipulated by these issues for a long time. You're missing the big picture. Sad.
- synthox, on 01/13/2008, -6/+27Never ceases to renew my hope for the future
- jmpeagle, on 01/13/2008, -22/+42uhhh...the U.S. was one of the few countries in the world that didn't go into recession in 1987.

We had a huge stock price drop from bad computer models/portfolio insurance but there was no fall in gross domestic product. - themonkman, on 01/13/2008, -2/+22Would you mind explaining the reasonings behind your insults and why you believe that? Insults are typically the last result of an immature and uninformed/undereducated person. Sure, his views might be seen as crazy when compared to the current status-quo (but isn't the current status-quo crazy as is?), but many of the people that were deemed crazy in history turned out to be the most brilliant and significant people of our time. Look at Galileo, Aristotle, Einstein, the Patriots of the American Revolutionary War, Isaac Newton...and the list goes on and on. At one time, the establishment deemed all of these people as heretics, crazy, and idiots. Look at what they've done for us? Ron Paul is not crazy, nor is he an idiot. He is merely reiterating the basic principles that led this nation into prosperity such as real free trade and open markets, sound money, non-interventionalism, individual freedoms over collectivist rights, national sovereignty and strong national defense. All of these things were brought forth by our nations Founders and were designed to not only be appropriate in their time period, but to be able to be viable forever. So instead of blathering inane insults or knee jerk reactions, please tell us the reasons you feel the way you do. You might come to find once you analyze these feelings and reasonings that deep down you don't really feel that way at all, and you may come to accept what you feel is right rather than what the status-quo tells you to.
- captaindigger, on 01/13/2008, -5/+24Because they don't want a sane politician, they want a ***** up idiot that will fit in with most of themselfs.
- DanielKongos, on 01/14/2008, -0/+16The arbitrariness of what dollar amount is associated with a certain weight of metal is not relevant. What's important is that once that relationship is set, the government can't increase the supply of notes without first increasing the supply of metal. This insures that the note has some value because people know that there is a cost involved in making it. Ideally money supply shouldn't increase much more quickly than the population. More sinister is the fractional reserve system we have now that allows a bank to loan out the same money more than once. The Fed and fractional reserves are a 90 year experiment. Who knows how well they'll turn out in the longer run.
Good vid on the whole subject.

Don't take my opinion too seriously, the whole subject is new to me and I only got interested because of Ron Paul. So whether he is right or not, he is the only candidate raising the importance of monetary policy. - kabitoSDMF, on 01/13/2008, -3/+19That's why the title says the "Economic Recession in 1983" , not "US Recession in 1983"
- sherbertbones, on 01/13/2008, -3/+19It's going to happen again very soon, storms a-brewin'. Seriously.
- olgadarlin, on 01/13/2008, -3/+18he's brilliant and y'all know it.
- inactive, on 01/13/2008, -18/+32Goldbugs have succesfully predicted 11 of the last 3 recessions.
- Big1984Brother, on 01/14/2008, -1/+15You can watch the entire video here:

The Gold Standard Conference (Ron Paul v. Charles Partee)
1 hr 9 min 12 sec - Nov 16, 1983
"The Capitol Hill Gold Conference was held in Washington, DC, in November 1983, and was hosted by the Ludwig von Mises Institute. Presentations at the conference include a debate on the Gold Standard between Congressman Ron Paul and Charles Partee, member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors." - freehat704, on 01/13/2008, -1/+14Too bad that not that many people understands what he says. You tell me if you understand how the FED makes money or what Reaganomics ideology really is. Why do the neo-republicans think that more government spending will actually stimulate the economy? There's blow-back from this spending.
- BillDoE, on 01/13/2008, -5/+18I'm always impressed by the way Ron Paul knows what he's talking about. Not staring at a speech looking up once in a while.
- inactive, on 01/14/2008, -1/+13I pick the one where most voters are morons
- tapeman11, on 01/13/2008, -5/+17i smell dumbass...
- georgemason01, on 01/13/2008, -4/+16It was the U.S. economy that caused the recession to begin in 1987, even if the U.S. itself didn't start to get hurt by it until 1988.
- Brad324, on 01/13/2008, -1/+12it's only a shred of hope, but at least it's something. It's too bad the people in power are only interested in one thing: more power.
- LisaThurmond, on 01/14/2008, -1/+12Ron Paul's right on the money (pun intended). Unfortunately, I am afraid it will take a GLOBAL DEPRESSION based on the Fed and other Central Banks' "Pump and Dump" fiat money strategy for people to finally WAKE UP.
- LetTheEgoSoar, on 01/13/2008, -2/+13Whether he wins or not, he's "infected" the political dialogue with truth and clear thinking, and that's more than any other politician in the picture can say for themselves.
- kjm16, on 01/14/2008, -0/+11Doh, I just got Ron Paul'd.
- scubasteve377, on 01/14/2008, -1/+10[citation needed]
- scubasteve377, on 01/14/2008, -1/+10You do know we've had national banks that came and went prior to the creation of the Fed, right? Hell, Alexander Hamilton started one during Washington's second term, when the country was only twenty-one years old. If you examine the circumstances surrounding every 'Panic of ....', they all fall during periods of central banking and rampant corporatism (including a somewhat infamous 'Panic' in 1929).
- SiNN4R, on 01/14/2008, -3/+12I think you were the ghostwriter of those articles just so you can constantly spam Ron Paul articles on digg.
- xerigen, on 01/14/2008, -2/+11Ron Paul. Republican Presidential Candidate.
- orxor, on 01/13/2008, -1/+10No but he did praise Muhammad Ali, he said that he admired him in congress back in Jan of 2007 how racist of him.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/record.xpd?id=110- ... - pong32, on 01/14/2008, -0/+9That is the man who would be America's savior if people like you would stop watching American Idol and start reading up on history and paying attention to current events.
- SpykerSpeed, on 01/14/2008, -2/+10Yeah but Ron Paul's point is that this isn't natural. The economy should rise more steadily than it does, but it doesn't because the government interferes with it.
- BESTenemy, on 01/14/2008, -0/+8Given the state of democracy and the economy, I'd be surprised if there is an election in 2012.
- mrASSMAN, on 01/13/2008, -1/+9..uh, *totalitarianism
- inactive, on 01/14/2008, -1/+8People like to give him ***** about being supported by Nazis, but NOT being supported by Republicans is the second best endorsement you can get.
- cswake, on 01/14/2008, -0/+7People were doing that with liberty dollars and the Government seized the assets.
- jaymzdean, on 01/13/2008, -9/+16You know, I have simply had it with your lies and attempts to spread disinformation. Please, please, PLEASE tell me where you live, so I can stomp on your throat until it's no more than a muddy spot on the path to freedom.
- Notasheeple, on 01/14/2008, -4/+10Effing genius! Here is my prediction: All the yuppie dorks on here that play Ron's ideas off as some sort of "nutty" thinking, will be the ones running around like chickens with their heads cut-off, if they have no idea where their next meal is coming from. That's right, keep spending your money on trinkets and bobbles. And after our country is bankrupted by the fake war on terror, then you will remember RON PAUL!
- Brad324, on 01/14/2008, -1/+7if the federal government has the power to legalize abortions, they have the power to deny them. What victory would it be to have the government "protect" abortions, if the next government can just come along and ban them? After all, abortions are legal now, and yet we're still fighting about it. This will forever be an issue, distracting people from the real issues, until the power is taken away from the federal government. According to the constitution, the government shouldn't have this power to begin with! If we ignore certain parts of the constitution, then what's to stop them from ignoring even more of it.
- Trillion08, on 01/13/2008, -1/+6Oh he is... He really is ;-)
- inactive, on 01/13/2008, -8/+13youre a liar and/or an idiot.

- noloveIII, on 01/13/2008, -2/+7No, Federalists wanted a strong central state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalism
Ron Paul is a Confederate (which has nothing to do with the civil war) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederation -
