by Ron Paul | Mar 15, 2015 | Featured Articles

by Ron Paul | Mar 8, 2015 | Featured Articles

by Ron Paul | Feb 26, 2015 | Peace and Prosperity Blog

The Chris Kyle Verdict and The Mistreatment of Our Veterans
by Ron Paul | Feb 25, 2015 | Peace and Prosperity Blog
If Eddie Ray Routh had never served in the military, I'm of the opinion that he would probably not have killed anybody. He would not be imprisoned for life and Chris Kyle would be alive today. Much of the blame should lie with our foreign policy of interventionism and...

by Ron Paul | Feb 16, 2015 | Featured Articles

Vaccine Controversy Shows Why We Need Markets, Not Mandates
by Ron Paul | Feb 8, 2015 | Featured Articles
If I were still a practicing ob-gyn and one of my patients said she was not going to vaccinate her child, I might try to persuade her to change her mind. But, if I were unsuccessful, I would respect her decision. I certainly would not lobby the government to pass a...

The Neocons’ Lament
by Ron Paul | Jan 21, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Neo-cons constantly lament, "If we had only done this...." when desperately trying to explain the mess the US has caused in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. They can't deny our government’s involvement, so they must find someone to blame. It's never our policy of foreign...

Lessons from Paris
by Ron Paul | Jan 13, 2015 | Featured Articles
