This video is a couple months old, but It’s interesting to see John Stewart outside of his normal scene. He speaks a lot about the war and the state of affairs in the United States. It’s no wonder he is a fan of Ron Paul.
John Stewart Interview on Bill Moyer’s Journal - Part 1
There are 4 parts to the interview. You can find them through the “related” section.
This is a great article from Steven over at BoomanTribune.com. Sums up a lot of what Ron Paul talks about. I try not to be a doomsdayer but you would have to live in a pretty deep hole not to see the economic problems that plague our nation. The war in Iraq needs to end, not just because it is wrong, but because we can’t afford it.
We are borrowing (and printing) hundreds of billions of dollars to pay for a war that was not authorized by Congress nor the American People. 70% of Americans want us out of Iraq, yet there are only 3 candidates running in 2008 with the balls to say we need to get out “NOW”. Ron Paul, Mike Gravel, and Dennis Kucinech are the only candidates promoting immediate pullout, and Ron Paul is the only one with a true understanding of the financial problems that face this country.
Ron Paul’s Ideals are radical to some, but there are only three major issues that the next President needs to address; The war in Iraq, the sad state of our financial system, and the ever decreasing freedoms of the American people. On these subjects Ron has no equal.
This country taxes nearly half of every dollar earned by its citizens. If we dropped these needless wars we could all but eliminate the federal income tax. The best way to promote security at home is to have a strong economy and a united nation that is independent from the politics of foreign countries. As history has proven, we do not make ourselves stronger by intervening in world affairs, we make ourselves weaker.

The “defender of the constitution”, Ron Paul, has dominated many online polls since the Republican debates started. He is still being ignored by most mainstream media but continues to be loved by liberal shows such as “The Daily Show” and “Real Time with Bill Maher“.
Some might find it odd that Ron would be so popular with Liberals, but spend a few minutes listening to him and you’ll see very quickly.
The MSNBC poll has hit nearly 100,000 votes and Ron has the most positives and the least negatives. Very interesting.
Looking to find more information on Ron Paul.
Head over to Ron’s Wikipedia Entry.
Ron Paul’s official blog also announced his appearance on New Hampshire Public Radio and Cspan. The Radio broadcast was very educational.
For all of you Ron Paul fans, there is now a 24/7 Internet TV station devoted to him.
Ron Paul Television - FreeMe.tv
Not only can you learn about Ron but the TV station shows hours of footage on the issues Ron stands for. After all, if you do not understand the issues, you will not be able to distinguish truth from “Tall-Tales”. The footage includes clips from Interviews, T.V. shows, Debate’s and a slew of other sources.
Education will set us free …..
And here are some additional links:
I just donated my first $100 ever to a political campaign. Chances are you have already heard some of the buzz Ron Paul has been getting recently. While I am just now getting to know who he is, many of his values, and the ideas he spreads, are similar to my own.
I’m looking hard to find something not to like about him, but it’s not easy. Every time I hear him speak I get the chills, and I wonder if that’s how people used to feel listening to John Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
If you want to learn about some of the “true problems” facing America, and want to learn about Ron Paul at the same time, I suggest watching Aaron Russo’s documentary video Freedom to Fascism.
If you only watch one movie this year, that should be it!
It’s time we Americans show the world what values we really cherish.. Freedom, Liberty, Justice… not War, Hate, and Oppression.
It’s time “We the People” stick our foot up the asses of the corrupt government that has slowly chipped away our freedoms and given us a bad reputation throughout the world.
It’s time “We the People” elect a government that will be “For the People”.
It’s time we stop trying to run other peoples countries, and start fixing our own.
It’s time for another “Million Man March”, This time to protest the injustices being made against all Americans.
It’s time to utilize the Internet to spread the word and elect ourselves a real leader, not a dictator.
…. and we better do it quick, because if we continue down the road we are on, we might not have a “Free Internet” to do it on.
I donated $100 to Ron Paul. If 1 million of us were to do that he might have a chance at getting elected. Just stay away from Electronic voting machines, because like Joseph Stalin said:
Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything
When Ron Paul is asked what is one of the first things he would do as president he says “Eliminate the Income Tax”. If you didn’t already know, the income tax is illegal and unconstitutional. And if you think that’s a crazy notion, you should do some research (Start by watching the above mentioned video).
So the way I see it my $100 is a great investment. I paid nearly $20,000 in income taxes last year, if there is even a chance Ron Paul could get elected, my $100 could end up making me Tens of thousands of dollars 
..
Lets all pitch in!
