Neal Free. Douglas B. Smith Free. Fee Free. Frankel Free. Andrew Breitbart Free. Evans Free. D] Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim? D] Kindergarten, Here I Come! You say you want a revolution? The book presents the revolution as suggested by Representative Ron Paul. Paul is a long-time Congressman and frequent also-ran Presidential candidate who raised some eyebrows with a short-lived flurry of Internet donations.

We You say you want a revolution? We learn late in the book the reason for the interest among younger, Internet-savvy donators; Paul advocates the repeal of at least some of U. Obviously, we know now that his bid for the Republican nomination never gained widespread interest. Here are his ideas: A Paul is an isolationist, er, I mean non-interventionist.

In a Paul U. Paul favors a return to a strict interpretation of the U. He sites as evidence the recent abuses by the executive branch of the government including the increasing elasticity of the reasons to use eminent domain, the rescinding of habeas corpus and the use of presidential signing statements.

I think these are more circumventions rather than reinterpretations of the constitution but I see his point. Paul seems to favor an end to health insurance. Rather you could just negotiate to pay your doctor in cash and then have catastrophic insurance for the big stuff; essentially the opposite of universal health care.

I was left wondering when does catastrophic kick in? After all you can bleed to death either by cutting your carotid artery in two or by losing drop by drop in you intestines. Paul favors a return to the gold standard or making U.

The concept is essentially to backstop the currency with a tangible resource, an idea the world abandoned with the Nixon administration. The advantage is stability but the disadvantage is solid restrictions on economic growth.

I just wonder about the practical concern of where we would get 11 trillion dollars worth of gold. The writing is plain and passable. Paul alludes to great thinkers of the past but never delves too deeply into their ideas. None of what he says seems particularly revolutionary unless you believe the U. In general, I felt Dr. I just felt his old-time remedies may not be sophisticated enough for a modern U.

Before I read this book I would have said Ron Paul is one politician that I think I can identify most with, so this was not by any means a book that was difficult for me to read. I often found myself nodding in agreement - one of the few actions you can take while reading by yourself without looking like a "doofus.

It goes lik Before I read this book I would have said Ron Paul is one politician that I think I can identify most with, so this was not by any means a book that was difficult for me to read.

It goes like this: "The fact is, liberty is not given a fair chance in our society, neither in the media, nor in politics, nor especially in education.

I have spoken to many young people during my career, some of whom had never heard my ideas before. Liberty had simply never been presented to them as a choice. Anyway, there are certainly parts of this book that I am skeptical about - returning to the gold standard, for one.

However, overall I felt this book did a nice job of simplifying some very complex ideas and backing them up with historical support. Ron makes a lot of assumptions regarding the outcomes of policies and actions he feel are necessary; nevertheless, these assumptions and the conclusions he projects seem sensible to me.

Would a similar book written by a more typical Republican member of Congress seem as sensible to me? I don't know. I especially enjoyed his thoughts on foreign policy. Mar 25, Benjamin rated it it was amazing Shelves: politics. Yes I think I really have become one of those Ron Paul people. I like it. The thing about Ron Paul that is so great is he is actually an honest person.

Very hard to find in politics today, it is evident that his opinions are his own formed from personal study and research, rather than crafted by a group of political consultants.

Thats why even if you don't agree with him on everything, you can trust him because you know where he really stands. I found out about him while doing some research on t Yes I think I really have become one of those Ron Paul people. I found out about him while doing some research on the internet for a paper about the war in Afghanistan.

His message concerning a non-interventionist foreign policy, really made sense to me. I was also impressed that he was really the only Republican candidate for president who openly and strongly opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on constitutional and moral grounds.

Congressman Paul has started a real movement with his emphasis on civil liberties and he's excited people from very different political ideologies, because his message makes sense. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand what is going on in our country from the point of view of an honest politician.

Jun 17, Jeff Stockett rated it really liked it Shelves: political. This book was excellent. It really helped me to understand the views that Ron Paul has on government. In the most recent presidential race I feel I didn't give Ron Paul a fair chance.

Many had labeled him as an "extremist" and "unelectable. But that's not because he is an extremist, only because America has strayed so far from her roots. This book is filled with Ron Paul's views on government. Those views are essentially derived from two places. T This book was excellent.

The first is the constitution. He believes in following the original intent of the founders. He believes that government should not overstep the constraints that the constitution places on it. The second place he derives his beliefs from is simple common sense. He looks at issues like the economy and simply pays attention to what has worked in the past and what hasn't.

The constitution and common sense don't seem too extreme to me, but I think they are actually pretty far from where our society sits today. I think every conservative should read this book. You may not agree with every idea that he has, but it's hard to disagree with the principles he stands on.

Jan 19, T. David rated it it was amazing. As Jon Stewart said, one of the few or the only "ideologically consistent" candidates for president, Ron Paul, provided this primer on how our constitutional government has become a system of norms and popular trends, rather than a government truly based on its original framework. He provides an outline to get the United States back on a track of true freedom and demonstrates the burgeoning prosperity for people in all sub-categories that has always been the result of that commitment to As Jon Stewart said, one of the few or the only "ideologically consistent" candidates for president, Ron Paul, provided this primer on how our constitutional government has become a system of norms and popular trends, rather than a government truly based on its original framework.

He provides an outline to get the United States back on a track of true freedom and demonstrates the burgeoning prosperity for people in all sub-categories that has always been the result of that commitment to freedom as set up in the Constitution. It is surprisingly simple and readable considering the subject's legal, historic and economic roots. Thanks to his willingness to depart from mainstream Republican views, The Revolution should be palatable for readers on both the Left and the Right.

As a reader of economic and social policy, I found it eye opening and inspiring. Fortunately, in the back he also provides a fantastic list of his most formative books on political thought, economics and policy. Mar 21, Adam Calvert rated it really liked it Shelves: politics. I really enjoyed reading this book. I understand now why Ron Paul and his advocates boast that you never hear anything about an ex-Ron Paul fan.

He writes in a more structured way than he debates, but his thinking is still very keen on sticking to the constitution as the nation's authority. It's refreshing when one comes across a congressman like this, especially one running for president. In this book, Paul gives an overview of what American government is currently versus what it should look lik I really enjoyed reading this book. In this book, Paul gives an overview of what American government is currently versus what it should look like.

He touches on foreign policy, economics, civil liberties, and the constitution. It's an engaging read and truly makes me want to join the revolution Mar 17, Jim McCulloch rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites.

I'm not sure what I expected but it wasn't what I found. I often liked what I periodically heard or read from Ron Paul over the years but never really took the time to learn more or take him very seriously. I found this book to be refreshingly brilliant.

I wish I had learned more about Ron Paul when I could have supported and voted for him. Don't assume that what you may have heard about Ron Paul from the media or self-serving Democrat and Republican politicians has been accurate until you read t I'm not sure what I expected but it wasn't what I found.

Don't assume that what you may have heard about Ron Paul from the media or self-serving Democrat and Republican politicians has been accurate until you read this book. You will be surprised if you take the time to read it. Jun 05, Marybeth rated it it was amazing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

He does a good job of explaining how the main issues everyone complains about with the government have come about, and he does it in a way that is easy to understand.

The section on the Federal Reserve was extremely fascinating and really explained a lot about our economy. He'd have my vote if he were still running Mar 08, Weathervane rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction. What Paul believes. Spiffing show! Feb 05, The Wanderer rated it liked it.

I am on some weird political kick right now. No worries, this interest will diminish overtime, much like my sex drive, hairline, finding any meaning in life, and my dwindling savings account.

The main cause of the lose of interest, of course, will be due to boredom, complacency, and apathy. This cycle usually occurs every years with myself depending on the interest of the hobby , until I am left on my death bed with no accomplishments, a collection of useless junk I am looking at my Kayak right now in pursuit of useless hobbies, and filled with a mentality of regret of "where did it all go? The answer will be clear. The routine will start again. Enough whining, about the book!

However, there is some hippie talk going on and political rhetoric and utopian ideas of everyone skipping together under the American flag. I call bullshit on this part. Paul wants to appeal to all. Perhaps this is because Paul was running for Pres at the time and wanted to do a good PR job of making sure to be inclusive of the entire voting base, not to offend anyone and secure that vote. Spoken like a true politician! An intellect, but should stick to writing. The pen is mightier than the sword Here are some quotes: "The clincher is this: the strongest motivation of terrorism , according to Robert Pape , is not religion but rather a desire "to compel modern democracies to withdraw military forces from the territory the terrorists view as their homeland.

They recognized that Big Government was no more honest or competent in foreign policy than it was in domestic policy. In both cases it was the same institution, with the same people, operating under the same incentives. Under the U. Constitution, Congress "A recent article in Modern Age, the conservative journal founded by Russell Kirk, illustrated this point.

Felix Morley, for example, was one of the founders of Human Events, the oldest conservative weekly in America. In he wrote an essay called "American Republic or American Empire. At some time and at some point, however, this fundamental conflict between our institutions and our policies will have to be resolved. Morley then elaborated on what Hitler meant: In other words, the problem of empire-building is essentially mystical.

It must somehow foster the impression that a man is great in the degree that his nation is great; that a German as such is superior to a Belgian as such; an Englishman, to an Irishman; an American, to a Mexican: merely because the first-named countries are in each case more powerful than their comparatives.

And people who have no individual stature whatsoever are willing to accept this poisonous nonsense because it gives them a sense of importance without the trouble of any personal effort.

The phenomenon Morley describes could not be further removed from the ideas of republican government, which have grown foreign to us after decades of military overstretch"p. But the same argument justifies outright infanticide, since it applies just as well to an infant outside the womb: newborns require even more attention and care, and in that sense are even more "parasitic".

They do not ask how her fetus is doing or her blob of tissue or her parasite. But that is what her baby becomes as soon as the child is declared to be unwanted. Government is always tempted to turn that maxim upside down. Little wonder that George Washington, the father of our country, once said, "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Nov 24, Tim B rated it it was amazing. Every American citizen should read this book.

Especially those who find themselves intensely dissatisfied with the state of affairs in our country. Paul makes his point concisely, and simply. The evidence is irrefutable that government intervention is rarely, if ever, to the benefit of its constituents. This was of course written in the late aug Every American citizen should read this book. This was of course written in the late aughts, so many examples relate to the Bush administration, but understanding the loss of our liberty and its causes is just as crucial to the People today as it was 10 years ago.

The consequences of our system of government have been realized by a myriad of enlightened political and economic theorists from ages past.
