by Ron Paul | Jun 28, 2015 | Featured Articles

Death Penalty: The Ultimate Corrupt, Big Government Program
by Ron Paul | Jun 14, 2015 | Featured Articles

Soros Pushes US Bailouts and Weapons for Ukraine
by Ron Paul | Jun 8, 2015 | Featured Articles

Janet Yellen is Right: She Can’t Predict the Future
by Ron Paul | May 24, 2015 | Featured Articles

NSA Spying Ruled Illegal, But Will Congress Save the Program Anyway?
by Ron Paul | May 11, 2015 | Featured Articles

Are We A Nation of Wimps?
by Ron Paul | May 9, 2015 | Featured Articles
We now live in a society where safety and security are to be sought at all costs. The sacrifice of liberty is not a concern for most Americans today. This is not something new and it has been characteristic of most people throughout history but it has gotten...
USA FREEDOM Act: Just Another Word for Lost Liberty
by Ron Paul | May 3, 2015 | Featured Articles

The Real War on the Middle Class
by Ron Paul | Apr 26, 2015 | Featured Articles
One of the great ironies of American politics is that most politicians who talk about helping the middle class support policies that, by expanding the welfare-warfare state, are harmful to middle-class Americans. Eliminating the welfare-warfare state would benefit...
Political Murders in Kiev, US Troops to Ukraine
by Ron Paul | Apr 20, 2015 | Featured Articles

The New Militarism: Who Profits?
by Ron Paul | Apr 13, 2015 | Featured Articles

The IRS and Congress Both Hold Our Liberty in Contempt
by Ron Paul | Apr 6, 2015 | Featured Articles

Repeal, Don’t Reform the IMF!
by Ron Paul | Mar 29, 2015 | Featured Articles

How Will The Yemeni Civil War End?
by Ron Paul | Mar 25, 2015 | Featured Articles
The Civil War in Yemen is rapidly expanding. We have been forced to close our embassy and military base located there. It is now clear that Obama’s optimism for fighting terrorism in Yemen was misplaced. It hardly sets a standard for dealing with constant conflict and...
