America's Roots: Paul shows the wisdom of the Founding Fathers August 31, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Anyone curious about the Founding Fathers should read this book. They saw the mess of England, dealt with their own mess through the Articles of Confederation, and knew exactly what they were looking for when they created the Constitution: A government with strict limits. Ron Paul explains why less government is best, and shows how the U.S. Constitution allows for nothing less.
Great book! August 29, 2008

You would be surprised to see how our government is screwing us so bad and how they spend our hard earned money. Or maybe you wouldn't be surprised. This is a great book.
 My Manifesto is Bigger than your Manifesto August 29, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
So what is a nut like me supposed to do come this Fall? If my 1988 Ron Paul for President bumper sticker judiciously placed upon my 1986 Renault Encore worked by way of putting Ron Paul in the White House in 1989, then maybe now I could be reviewing the book of Dr. Paul's presidential memoirs rather than ruminating on federal government grandiosity more convoluted than this sentence. From page 37 & 38: ...with our 700 [military] bases around the world...including troops in 130 countries..."With a $9 trillion debt, perhaps $50 trillion in entitlement liabilites, and the dollar in free fall, how much longer can we afford..." [my words coming up] to keep going as an intact nation? Paraphrased from pages 79 & 80: If we abolished the personal income tax now, our federal government budget would have to return to the levels of... 1997! Shriek, run! Not that, anything but that! If you have children, and you plan to vote for either Sen. Obama (even if he is almost too conservative for you), or Sen. McCain (even if he is almost too liberal for you), please [at a minimum] read pages 133 & 134 and see what the government has in store for your kids (brainwashing never looked so good). So much of what passes for government is most likely unconstitutional, even if I do take a fancy to those interstate highways.
Ron Paul's book is a short, simple read; but so is the catastrophe section of the newspaper. Read it to challenge yourself to explore what true freedom and responsibility entail. The other two guys will keep their feet firmly on the accelerator with our big bus aimed right at the cliff.
Libertarian manifesto August 29, 2008

If only Mr. Paul would stick to the basics as stated in this book and realize that change is a process that happens slowly, especially with regard to foreign policy and national security, he might have gotten further in politics.
The book itself is an excellent read and a keen look at where we came from constitutionally with a warning to those complacent enough to put their faith in government control of their lives.
The Revolution: A Manifesto Dr Ron Paul August 27, 2008

Ron Paul once again shows why he should be, but won't be president. Too much common sense.
