[Video] Ron Paul on TheBlaze TV w/ Glenn Beck 10/22 - FULL INTERVIEW ADDED

i'm not much for dichotomies, so please excuse this one instance.
either an act is moral, or it is not.
if someone chooses to act morally in all actions- i don't see there being any holes.
and to give up 1% of the principle is to give up the entire principle (paraphrased from ron paul)
with that in mind, it is immoral to take money from people by force.
any activity that is paid for by the money procured in this manner would also be immoral. it would be paid for by 'blood money'
if a standing army was voluntary, and funded voluntarily- you could make a case for it.
in fact, some believe the militia to be the standing army or local people who get together at times of need to protect their homes collectively.

Extenuating cirumstances have removed the voluntary aspect of any contributions for the near future. This is the age of the superpower, highly specialized forces and missile defense. I'm not sure how you can just unveil a militia project at this point and provide sufficient national defense. In theory, I agree with you, but we have to examine the facts on the ground here. I'm not enamored with the state of our military nor it's outlays, but I'm not too certain it's the right time for a complete rollback to nothing.

Vietnam, Afghanistan, Somalia... etc... didn't have any high-tech army, navy, or air force...
all of them gave our military problems.

the reason the japanese would have never conquered the U.S wasn't because of our military. it was because there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.
no one could conquer this country with every person armed.
 
This could be an excellent opportunity to talk about his educational curriculum to a bloc of people who have no love for socialized education. I think it could be very positive. Perhaps Mr. Beck will give Dr. Paul more than a 10 minute segment and not talk over him for more than half the time. You don't teach to lost souls and not venture far from the front pews.

Beck said on his radio show Ron will be on for the full hour and they will be discussing homeschooling.

Yamamoto never made that statement, because it is absurd. The Japanese never landed in San Diego because they could not possibly build, maintain, and defend the merchant fleet necessary to handle the logistics across thousands of miles of the Pacific, even if they had the necessary number of troops, which they didn't.

Mainland China possessed more private firearms before the Japanese invasion than the US did. Even today, under Communist rule private ownership in China is around 5%. At best in 1940 about 50% of our 35 million households had one or more firearms some of which were pistols and rifles. During the China invasion, the Japanese had 200 miles of logistics across the Sea of Japan. The invasion of China tied up about 25 divisions, or more than half of their entire force.

To conjure up another 30 divisions and an undefendable supply line ten times as long is pure fantasy requiring no hoards of American riflemen.

Two of the liberty movement's greatest heroes will finally unite, only on The Blaze.

Hopefully Glenn and Ron discuss how awesome Rand is.

I'm confident in saying you probably are part of a very small percentage of Liberty minded people that believe this. But hey, keep on keeping on. Have a nice day.

never said yamato said what i wrote.
i said it. and its true.
 
Here's the second part once Glen had to leave. I'l upload the first part right now as well.

 
I am always astonished at Ron Paul's diplomatic and professional style regardless of the audience... In this case, Glenn Beck who threw RP under the bus in the 2012 election and wrote him off as nothing more and a kook stealing votes from Romney.

We need to grow thicker skin like the Pauls if we want to win at this game.
