Here’s an article that will give all of us Ron Paulians hope!

Tariffs: Good or Bad?
Warning: This first paragraph is a bit of a digression from the topic at hand, but I feel it is necessary…you can skip it if you’d rather. A few months ago (May, to be precise) I started what we call a Mises Circle. We (usually 8-10 people) get together at a local restaurant once a month to talk about economics. This last meeting was sort of a free-for-all, there wasn’t any specific topic, everyone just shared their ideas, articles they had read, etc…One of the many topics was covered was (finally, here we go!) tariffs! I never like to agree…
Books, and Government, and such
Books play a vital role in my life. They are extremely important to me. I was considering them this morning in light of the free market. Right now, if I want to read a book and not buy it, I will go to our local library. Sadly, the standards of this library have gotten lower and lower until I’m hard pressed to find a decent book. I generally must resort to filling out a request slip for a book at other libraries. And within 6-10 months, I receive the book I wanted! This was frustrating when I was studying WWII….

Review of “For Liberty” on WPT
I was able to watch the interview on Wisconsin Public Television’s Director’s Cut with the Directors/Producers (Chris Rye & Corey Kealiher) of the film, “For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty,” which gave me a closer view into what motivated these men put this movie together. What drew them to Ron Paul? His anti-war position and strict constitutional beliefs poignantly set him apart from the rest of the Republican Party. His common sense ideas are a stark contrast to the warmongering of the other candidates, like this quote, “They come over here and attack…
Notes from the “For Liberty” Interview
This is totally off the top of my head, as I was watching the interview on WPT. So it is a little random, sorry. The directors/producers point out that they were drawn to Ron Paul because of his foreign policy. He was cut out of the Republican Party because of his strict Constitutional non-interventionist position. Ron Paul: (not an exact quote, but approximate) “We have to look at it from the position of how would we feel if they did it to us?” “It is just the message of liberty. It brings people together from all sides of the spectrum.”…
In Bob Murphy’s Words, “Shameless Self-Promotion”
These are some online reports or promotions of events in which I’ve participated.

For Liberty: Ron Paul Presidential Campaign Documentary on Public TV
Thanks to this, I got a heads-up about this film being aired on Wisconsin Public Television tomorrow night. Although we don’t live in Wisconsin, we’re close enough that we get WPT anyways. I usually watch their “Sherlock Holmes” episodes on Thursday nights, but tomorrow night, I won’t turn it off at 9pm, but will stay up and watch “For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty.” I’ve been very excited about seeing this, but didn’t have the money to buy it…now, thanks to our wonderful government (isn’t that ironic?) I can watch it for free!…
Ideas: The Content of Cognition and the Flames of a Revolution
Ideas are formally known as “the content of cognition” or the main thing of which you are thinking. That may be the dictionary (or technically the Wikipedia) definition, but for many of us, ideas are much more than that. Ideas were a common theme in Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. From the Rally for the Republic he said, “Ideas spread, they cannot stop them. Ideas whose time has come cannot be stopped by any government or any army.” I think an important difference between Ron Paul’s campaign, and the campaigns of other candidates, especially Obama’s, is that Ron Paul wasn’t trying…
