Rights mean you have a right to your life. You have a right to your liberty, and you should have a right to keep the fruits of your labor....I, in a way, donโt like to use those terms: gay rights, womenโs rights, minority rights, religious rights. Thereโs only one type of right. Itโs the right to your liberty.
Ron PaulThe Cap and Trade Bill HR 2454 was voted on last Friday. Proponents claim this bill will help the environment, but what it really does is put another nail in the economyโs coffin.
Ron PaulThere is only one kind of freedom and that's individual liberty. Our lives come from our creator and our liberty comes from our creator. It has nothing to do with government granting it.
Ron PaulI believe only a free society can ever be truly secure. The goal should be to make terrorists feel threatened, not the American people.
Ron PaulLiberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
