Paul says US 'slipping into a fascist system'

The Texas congressman held a fiery rally Saturday night across the street from a World War I Memorial, upstaging simultaneous Republican Party banquets being held on both sides of the nearby Missouri and Kansas line.

Paul said the U.S. got off track during the era of President Woodrow Wilson, who led the nation through World War I and unsuccessfully advocated for the nation's involvement in a forerunner of the United Nations.

Although campaign aides were aware, Paul told reporters after his speech that he did not know his rally was coinciding with long-established Republican Party events.

I understand the governor or someone who had endorsed... I forget, but not Ron, was giving a keynote speech at the GOP Lincoln days close by at the same time.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul warned the U.S. is "slipping into a fascist system" dominated by government and businesses as he held a fiery rally Saturday night upstaging established Republican Party banquets a short distance away.

The Texas congressman drew a couple thousand standing and chanting people to Kansas City's Union Station as the party's establishment dined on steak across the street at the Missouri GOP's annual conference. Kansas Republicans were holding a similar convention in a suburb across the state line.

Paul staged his rally near the nation's World War I museum, asserting that the U.S. got off track about 100 years ago during the era of President Woodrow Wilson, who led the nation through World War I and unsuccessfully advocated for the nation's involvement in a forerunner of the United Nations.

"We've slipped away from a true Republic," Paul said. "Now we're slipping into a fascist system where it's a combination of government and big business and authoritarian rule and the suppression of the individual rights of each and every American citizen."

Why was Ron in Missouri?
Click to expand...

Kansas Caucus - March 10th
Missouri Caucus - March 17th

He came to KC, MO which is right on the border. The guy who warmed up the crowd asked who was from Kansas and who from Missouri... it seemed to be a pretty good split between the two.
 
Just got back to Springfield from that rally in KC.. Speaking personally for Greene county we've got a more than a good chance to slate all 111 delegates and alternates for Springfield alone. Next largest is Christian County 26 Delegates (Branson area) and they are VERY organized as well. I'm not sure how other the other larger counties like Jefferson, St. Louis and KC area are doing but we've got the Southern MO and NW Ark eat, sleep, and crappin' delegate prospects
 
"Slipping" makes it sound like it's present tense, rather than long since accomplished....

Ron Paul: U.S. Slipping Into a Fascist System

GOP presidential contender Ron Paul warned Saturday the U.S. is “slipping into a fascist system” dominated by government and big business, the Associated Press reported.

Speaking to a crowd in Kansas City, Mo. that numbered more than a thousand, the Texas congressman asserted that the U.S. began heading down the wrong path 100 years ago during President Woodrow Wilson’s administration. Wilson led the country through World War I and advocated for the United States’ involvement in the League of Nations, a precursor to the United Nations.

“We’ve slipped away from a true Republic,” Paul said. “Now we‘re slipping into a fascist system where it’s a combination of government and big business and authoritarian rule and the suppression of the individual rights of each and every American citizen.”

According to the Kansas City Star, Paul said the country cannot afford its entitlement system of free education, health care and housing anymore. http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/18/3438040/gop-presidential-candidate-ron.html

“Right now people are waking up to the fact that the government is broke, and they know it’s ending,” Paul said.

Paul has warned of similar future unrest while on the campaign trail, including U.N. conspiracies and predicting rioting in the streets. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/ron...ies-rioting-in-the-streets-during-iowa-stump/

“If freedom is the answer and big government is the problem, what we have to do is convince the people that it is in their best interest to defend liberty,” Paul said.

Daily Mail has an article on it.

I was gonna say, "Slipping?" We have arrived.

The areas of life that remain outside the government’s participation, taxation, subsidization, regulation, surveillance, and other intrusion or control have become so few and so trivial that they scarcely merit mention. We verge ever closer upon the condition in which everything that is not prohibited is required. Yet, the average American will declare loudly that he is a free man and that his country is the freest in the world. Thus, in a country where more and more is for the state, where virtually nothing is outside the State, and where, aside from pointless complaints, nothing against the State is permitted, Americans have become ideal fascist citizens. Like the average German during the years that Hitler ruled Germany, most Americans today, inhabiting one of the most pervasively controlled countries in the history of the world, think they are free.
