Ron Paul: Freedom is the Answer

I've been waiting for a true libertarian to come along in the presidential campaign for a long time--someone who believes in the principles this country was founded on: liberty of the individual, the less government the better, the least amount of foreign intervention. Someone similar to Ronald Reagan without the military adrenaline. Actually, believe it or not, George Bush had a similar message before 9/11--he was proposing less international involvement and lower taxes (instead we have a bigger government and people around the world hate us).

After listening to all the candidates from both parties, I'm convinced that Ron Paul is the best person for America. Someone who can save the looming bankruptcy (by drastically reducing the size of the government), returning rights to individuals (no government approval for anything; no income taxes; no draft; etc.), and make America loved around the world again (by bringing back troops from across the globe). As congressman, Ron Paul voted against the war in Iraq, against the Patriot Act, and against more government spending.

The sun has not yet set on America, but I'm pretty certain that America is on the verge of a permanent decline unless we engage in honest dialogue that can lead to less government. If we don't change soon, we will either become a country like Mexico, where the are a few rich people, a lot of poor people, and almost no middle class; or we will become a socialist country like France as a result of the former where everybody seems to be equally happy and prosperous but in reality they're neither.

In the words of Ronald Reagan, "Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem."
