Since the individual is the smallest most numerous MINORITY, how come so many of us are so UNPROTECTED in your Republic ( so called )?You do realize, don't you, that this is close to a description of mob rule, or democracy. It's not exactly what we're about, since we believe in a Republic which protects the minority, or the one, against the force of the majority.

( I still think it's just a sociopathic plutocratic oligarchic kleptocracy, BTW)
The answer should be quite simple. This is not a Republic, nor has it been since the inception of the Federal Reserve and the violations of the U.S. Constitution have become so prevalent.
Ignore the U.S. Constitution and there is no Republic.
Well, since [FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]The Federal Constitution Is Dead[/FONT] , you keep on voting in and FOR the "system" because ............................ ?

I'm not voting for the same system.
If I were going to vote for the same system, I would be voting for one of the two party clowns.
Edit: What would you suggest doing to change the system?
Not voting is a non-violent REVOLUTIONARY act.<IMHO>

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -- Mahatma Gandhi
Now I didn't say I wasn't going to vote. I just said I wasn't going to vote for the status quo. If more people would stand up for what is right and stop voting for the lesser of two evils and instead vote for the person who would try to change what has been happening to the U.S. Constitution, things would get a lot better pretty fast.
Since we do not vote in the Judges of the U.S. Supreme Court, there is no way we can elect ones that are not appointed by the status quo in Washington D.C.
The SCOTUS has been and will be interpreting the U.S. Constitution they way the powers that be have wanted them to interpret it for a long long time now, and it is time that stopped.
I merely answered your question.Edit: What would you suggest doing to change the system?
THE question was: I merely answered your question.
By voting, YOU, and the others in the MINORITY, are supporting, endorsing AND giving your consent to the CURRENT "system". WHO you vote for, and why, is totally irrelevant, in that context.<IMHO>
"We shall get nowhere until we start by recognizing that political behavior is largely non-rational, that the world is suffering from some kind of mental disease which must be diagnosed before it can be cured. " -- George Orwell
Not voting isn't going to change anything either.
So why even bother playing the system's RIGGED game? I'll grant your statement, if you grant mine.

Two very EXCELLENT questions.<IMHO>That leads to the question, what are we doing here on the Ron Paul forums?
Why even try to do a damned thing?
