Should be required reading in our nation's high schools August 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The United States has managed to go from being the biggest creditor nation (a good thing) to the biggest debtor nation (a bad thing) in a mere 30 years. We have our politicians and the federal reserve to thank for this. We can all continue pretending that there is not an 800 lb gorilla in the room and just wait for a total collapse or we can heed the advice of Dr. Paul and people like him. It's hard to believe that we fought for our independence from England less than 250 years ago and we've apparantely forgotten why we did so. The constitution is that reminder. It is startling how many personal freedoms and liberties we are willing to keep giving up. We need someone to fight for us. The government is supposed to serve the people; not the people serve the government. This book is a great reminder of the way things were intended to be and where we are straying from the path.
 Another liberal who calls himself a conservative August 5, 2008
0 out of 24 found this review helpful
In short, a liberal manifesto (although not nearly as liberal as the Bush/Cheney crowd.)
the bad:
* conservatives, by definition, do not go around calling for 'revolutions'
* his take on free trade is liberalism on steroids -- a conservative believes in free trade only as far as it benefits the interests of the home country. Ron takes it too philosphically, and believes in trade with no restrictions.
* liberals always have their heads in the clouds, and looking to establish utopias on earth. Conservatives roll up their sleeves and deal with the reality we have to face. Ron has his head in the clouds, just like Bush.
the good:
* I agree with his take on the military, the gold standard, and minding our own business
Overall, a good read with some good moments.
Every American should read this. August 4, 2008

What an enlightening book and excellent call to action. It reminds voters why associating yourself with a 'party' is as politically productive as investigating why dirt has a bad taste. A real wakeup call to how far the US Federal Government has gone to ignore, destroy, and bastardize the Constitution. Fire Congress and lets elect some law-makers who will obey the law!
An important book. . . August 4, 2008

Too few people realize that our country was founded on the principles of liberty and limited government. Now, government has grown beyond the Founding Fathers' wildest nightmares, and much of the precious liberty that they fought for has been lost.
Ron Paul offers an insight into how things were meant to be, and also offers a glimmer of hope that things can be fixed. It's an easy, yet thought-provoking read.
Highly recommended.

First, I read the book.
Now, If you keep yourself informed thru a "fairly" independent newspaper or website and have at least one year of college, you can for sure skip this book.
There is nothing new on it...unless the US Constitution is something new for you. And if it is you can read it online and come up with your own conslusions.
Ron Paul using somebody else's words says that the US Constitution is not a living document - basically - "if you give me a living constitution you are giving me a dead constitution". Then, my question to him will be: where do we stop? The Constitution itself did not include the amendments that came with the pass of time and the understanding that time had change the way we think, hence a more updated document was needed to express these new points of view.
If we did not interpret the US C as a living document, the amendments would not exist, so according to RP the Bill of Rights, the abolision of slavery and universal sufrage - which are amendments to the USC - made our Constitution a dead one.
The economy part is a disgrace.
This man is going senile.
