Bumping for liberty. This video put me in tears. It really puts into context what has happened to our country, and people don't realize that foreign policy is at the core of where we have gone so wrong.
I grew up a unabashed capitalist conservative, but also supported just about every war this century. I studied economics in college, and discovered Ron Paul and the Austrian school. My entire outlook, my entire philosophy, the way I view the world was completely changed. People have always known me as a stalwart defender of free markets, but as time goes by I am becoming more anti-war and focusing more on a constitutional foreign policy. War really is the health of the state. We cannot be free or prosperous with a foreign policy like this.
Please continue to spread this video. I sent this video to everyone in my family (which I never do, because I don't want to be overbearing). This can really change hearts and minds. Spread far and wide.
"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison
"Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. . . No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison
