[P2P-F] a reminder of ron paul's positions

Thu Dec 29 14:22:49 CET 2011

Allot of Ron Paul's policy ideas are nuts but the American people want
to vote for him because they
want to start a revolution. Ron Paul as US President will be a
revolution. The people are totally
disillusioned with elites and intellectuals from both the left and the
right. They have stopped listening.
And to all the people who say "Conspiracy Theories are disempowering
and do not produce
political change", you need to reconsider your map of reality:
