Real Change

Politically, I think that individual rights are the most important thing. Ron Paul's views are the closest to mine. The U.S. should not be the "policemen of the world". I think that having our military all over the world, getting in other countries business is why our country is so hated by so many. There are a lot of powerful people, willing to do just about anything, to keep the U.S. at war with someone so that we have to keep buying weapons.
General Electric owns NBC. On July 23, 1992, GE plead guilty in federal court to civil and criminal charges of defrauding the Pentagon and agreed to pay $69 million to the U.S. government in fines — one of the largest defense contracting fines ever.

Yet we happily trust NBC to give us the "news". I'm not saying that they try to brainwash the American people into thinking constant war is necessary. Ha! That's exactly what I'm saying. It's very surprising and refreshing to hear a politician speak the truth. During the Republican debates we got to hear it from Ron Paul. This isn't an exact quote but on the topic of the war in Iraq he said something like this "For the U.S. to borrow money from China, to fund the occupation of Iraq, is insanity."

In the U.S. it's getting easier and easier for honest, hard working people to be put in prison. Our prisons are overflowing, we have to release child molesters, rapists, robbers and sometimes even murderers early to make room for non-violent drug offenders on a daily basis. We should get rid of victimless crimes altogether. Let people be free. People wonder why their taxes are so high, there are two main reasons. We have to pay for pointless wars all over the globe and there are too many laws in our own country. Think outside the box that the Democrats and Republicans have put you in.

"Libertarians believe the answer to America's political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom that marks this country above all others; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America's founders."
