What would it mean if Ron Paul won and got his way?

[Christian Soldier]

we would have a dishonest and disingenous President in office who likes to use high toned rhetoric for political gain. he would have a contingent of followers who are literally fanatically devoted to him, to the point of inventing bizarre conspiracy theories rather than accept facts about him or his candidacy (or hypothetical presidency)

if anything went wrong, it would never be his fault, but of globalist conspirators trying to do a poo on the Constitution. All of the civil rights and Constitutional freedoms that have been fought for in this country since its inception would be eroded, all in the name of some ironic form of liberty. And the country would be economically destroyed.

There probably would be a slightly lower risk of a terrorist attack from foreign powers, but would be a great deal more risk of home grown terrorists and militia groups.

I'm willing to believe that a little shake-up might be a good thing. I think there's too much inertia for many of these ideas to go anywhere, even if they are held by the president. Most of these things would need to pass through congress, which would never happen.

Yes, Ron Paul gets more Americans to vote, that alone is a good thing.

I don't know if I want more people to vote, but I want more people to pay attention! One of my current favorite bumper stickers says "If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention."

I think we're starting to see more and more people get fed up with the current ruling class. We may like to think that these things can change on a dime, but that's not likely. Thankfully, once things do build up momentum, they are hard to stop.

We tend to hang around with like-minded people, so it's easy to get a distorted view that society as a whole is more like us than we really are. That's one of the major reasons I'm here, is that I see mostly civil discourse between people with wildly different world views.

If Ron Paul was ever actually elected president, he would have us wearing breeches and powdered wigs, but don't worry, your musket will be protected.

Nice.

Actually, I prefer a Ferguson.

Kay thanx.

The Federal Reserve would be abolished along with much of the government to include the IRS. The income tax system would be abolished too. The war in Iraq would end and the troops would be sent home.

How would his actions affect the average American?

Lower taxes, less spending, smaller goivernment, less governemetn intrusion into our lives. There really is no reason not to vote for him
