Ron Paul - The American People have become Submissive. Enough is Enough.

Imagine if the political elites in our country were forced to endure the same conditions at the airport as business travelers, families, senior citizens, and the rest of us. Perhaps this problem could be quickly resolved if every cabinet secretary, every member of Congress, and every department head in the Obama administration were forced to submit to the same degrading screening process as the people who pay their salaries

Not all of us Ronny, .....

... And where there's a spark, .... there's gonna be a fire.

It's called Fluoride, TV, Movies, Commercials, and Music and that's why most are submissive. Lethargy is a funny thing...

hehe, s/f

If only more people would listen to wise words such as these! It is good to see that there are people in power that still remember what it's like to be a Proll.

Why is Ron Paul in the major minority amongst our representatives when it comes to protecting our rights? It's obvious that us Americans have been asleep at the wheel.

I would vote for Ron Paul if he ran for President in 2012.

He seems -- Real

I have a lot of respect for Ron Paul. He is always the voice of reason.

We will see how submissive the American people are next week, the biggest travel week, when naked pictures are stored on some hard drive somewhere and people are groped by the millions while traveling to spend time with their families. It will be very interesting.

He needs to go bulldog on the patriot act too.

This guy should be running for President. He is the only politician I see that behaves like a citizen and not an elitist.

He has ran, and effectively too! The left/right paradigm doesn't allow him to break into the mainstream where the majority of Americans get their info. In the few occasions he has been able to speak to the masses, he cleans house.

Can't have that in the Republican party can we?

...so, uh, no one thinks ron paul has NOT known for nearly a decade that michael chertoff is a crook and a dang good osama bin ladin lookalike?... gosh, i wonder what they'll sell you next...

This entire fiasco involving scanners at airports are not only a violation of privacy, but are merely a show to try to convince Americans that they are keeping ahead of the terrorists. Millions of unauthorized persons have and continue to cross our borders via tunnels, in the middle of the night, smuggled in trucks, vans and cars, and many of them are terrorists. The threat from them is far greater than the threat to air travel.
Today, literally thousands of terrorist sleepers, many of them your neighbors, waiting to strike. Most of them came here either legally or through our porous borders. Although it is literally impossible to get a nuclear device on an airplane, carrying one across the border, or via boat, has most likely happened, and will continue to happen, until the unfortunate happens.
Wake up, Congress and Administration!

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter from your eye,’ while, behold, a board is in your own eye?

Matthew 7:4

I wish Ron Paul was a politician in my country. Every time I hear him speak, I'm struck by his charisma and passion for his country, it's people and the events shaping it. Our 'leaders' don't come close. Here, as in the States, too many are happy to hold office while they toe the line, make sure not to offend anybody and collect their salary. You're lucky to have him, and you certainly need him.

Where are you from?

The lovely island of Ireland.

I heard it's very beautiful. But, things couldn't be that bad. I suppose it's not Northern Ireland (part of Great Britain).

I support Mr Paul, and even though we don't see to eye on all issues, we share enough common interests that I will stand by him no matter.

He has been saying the same things for decades, and it is time more people starting waking up and listening to him. Included many of his so called colleagues.

Totally agreed. I've been ambivalent about him - I have complete buy in on some of his ideas but he comes across as a bit flaky and a bit of a rube.

However, this is a much needed speech - not his best by far but very timely and brave so maybe one of his most important.

Now that is authentic patriotism.
