Dr. Ron Paul

Partial transcript: Generally speaking my views are different in reality than the other candidates… although the rhetoric might not be extremely different, in reality it is different… because so often we have candidates that will talk about some changes but basically still support the status quo; The status quo today is too much ignoring the Constitution; We’ve gotten into this trouble because we’ve avoided following the Constitution… it shouldn’t be difficult to get out of trouble by just having only people in Washington who obey the Constitution–that’s what I think we oughta do; It also reflects an educational system that over many many decades have taught generations of Americans that the Constitution is not to be a rigid document; Since we got careless with this, the document doesn’t mean a whole lot; The Founders of this country… put it in there that only gold and silver could be legal tender, you couldn’t have a central bank, and you couldn’t print money… but look at where we are… and we didn’t change the Constitution; There is no authority for the federal government to be running education… therefore we don’t need the Department of Education; When you [the executive branch] write a regulation, you’re writing a law… and that’s the executive branch doing what only the legislative branch is supposed to be doing… we need to challenge this someday

Dr. Ron Paul

Partial transcript: I can remember the very early years studying obstetrics–and it was before the age of abortion–and I was told taking care of a woman that’s pregnant, you have two patients… and I think that solves a lot of the problem by when life begins and all; In the 1960′s when the culture was changing… abortion became prevalent even though it was illegal; So the morality of the country changed, but then the law followed up; When the morality changes, it will reflect on the laws; Law will not correct the basic problem, and that’s the morality of the people; You need the government out of that business [medicine] or you will always argue over who’s paying what bills; I follow what my understanding is of the Constitution, and it does allow for the states to deal with difficult problems… as a matter of fact, it allows the states to deal with almost all the problems, if you look at it; These powers aren’t given to the Congress… I see abortion as a violent act… all other violence is handled by the states–murder, burglary, violence… that’s a state issue; Don’t try to say that I’m less pro-life because I want to be particular about the way we do it and allow the states the prerogative; This is the solution… if we would allow the states to write their laws, take away the jurisdiction by a majority vote in the Congress, you repeal Roe v. Wade overnight, instead of waiting year after year to change the court system

Dr. Ron Paul

Partial transcript: The attack on personal liberties has continued; First, after 9/11 it was the Patriot Act; The Patriot Act was not invented because of 9/11… it had been invented several years before; An opportunity arises for those who like to put those kind of laws on us… saw that as an opportunity… so within a week or two, the Patriot Act was passed; If we could have renamed it, it wouldn’t have passed; If they had called that the “Repeal of the 4th Amendment Act”, maybe nobody would have voted for it then… because that’s essentially what it did; We have lost our privacy–they can invade our homes without legitimate search warrants; The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)–a very, very bad piece of legislation; The provisions in there essentially have repealed Posse Comitatus; The president now is allowed to use the military to arrest any American citizen as a probably cause; Not only can you be arrested by the military–that’s only half of it–you can be kept in secret confinement indefinitely and denied an attorney… and that is not part of what America should be; If we’re to restore the republic, we would be repealing the Patriot Act as well as this authority to arrest American citizens by the U.S. Army–that should not be permissible; There’s something much bigger than me going on in this country… it’s been going on for 4, 5, 6 years, and it’s growing by leaps and bounds… and that is the freedom movement–people really are understanding what’s going on; If we do nothing, though, the status quo will drive us down… the bankruptcy of the country will lead to chaos; We can’t continue this wild spending overseas and the wild entitlement spending here–it won’t work… the endpoint will be a monetary financial event

Dr. Future and Will Grigg discuss libertarianism and the Golden Rule…

Date: 1/6/12
Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic
Guest: Will Grigg
Notes: Libertarian thinking starts with the understanding that all human beings are problematic and troublesome when entrusted with power, and that no human being is virtuous enough to exercise power over another; So no human being has the right to commit aggressive violence against another–that’s the Golden Rule; The fundamental tenant of libertarian thought is the Golden Rule–we’re all equal before the law; Really the only law is the non-aggression principle… and on that will hang the Constitution and all laws worthy of our respect–they’re all commentaries on or applications of the non-aggression axiom (or the Golden Rule); Virtue cannot be obtained through compulsion; It’s possible to use coercion defensively in order to protect yourself against the vicious, and there arguably is a role for coercion in terms of punishing conspicuous acts of viciousness, but you can’t make somebody righteous through coercion; The way that statism works is that it cocoons us in myriad laws and then leaves us completely at the mercy of the grace of the supposedly divine entity called the state; Libertarianism starts from the proposition that the state–being composed of flawed human beings–cannot make us virtuous through coercion

Date: 12/1/11
Host: Len Osanic
Guest: Jesse Ventura
Notes: Jesse Ventura’s court case… they won’t even allow him to go to court to see if his 4th Amendment rights are being violated; Administrative law brought in by Woodrow Wilson–he’s the one that brought us the Federal Reserve; They skirt the Constitution; When you go to an airport today, you are not protected by the Constitution or the Bill of Rights; Jesse sued the TSA; Why is it the government’s job to provide security for the airlines when they’re a private sector business?; The way it is now, you have to go out there and prove you’re innocent; Jesse won’t go anywhere where he’s treated like a criminal, and at today’s airports he is treated like a criminal

Len Osanic from Black Op Radio talks to former governor Jesse Ventura…

[Part 1 of a 9-part series]

Show: Black Op Radio
Full Podcast: Show #521 Part 1 – Gov. Jesse Ventura
Date: 4/7/11
Host: Len Osanic
Guest: Jesse Ventura
Notes: Ventura’s book: “63 Documents the Government Doesn’t Want You to Read“; They could have probably put 163 documents in the book if they wanted to, but they chose 63 because that’s the year that President Kennedy was murdered, and for the most part that’s when the real deception of America truly–in our modern era–took place; Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t act alone; E. Howard Hunt’s deathbed confession; One of the first documents they came across was one of the scariest… and that was the fact that in the early 50′s we went down to Guatemala and basically infected 300-400 people with syphilis, just to test out to see if penicillin worked; Many of these documents when you read them you will think that they were done by Nazis, and yet you’re gonna find out as you read them that, no, it was the United States of America–our government–that was behaving in this fashion–it was our government that murdered people, and did all sorts of stuff; The CIA’s secret assassination manual; Assassination is just a fancy word for 1st degree murder; 1st degree murder is against the law in every country in the world; Who decides when someone’s going to be murdered? And what gives us the right to do it?

Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God…

[Part 12 of an ongoing series...]

Ministry: Woodland Hills Church
Full Podcast: The Difference Between the Two Kingdoms
Date: 4/25/04
Speaker: Greg Boyd
Notes: The kingdom of the world is always tribal–it’s always national, it’s us against them; There’s something intrinsic in the flesh that always wants to say that “my way is the best way“; In the kingdom of God, the perspective is universal; Jesus Christ died for every human being, so every human being has absolute worth–infinite worth–and our main job in life is to express that to them in word and in deed; From a kingdom of God perspective we would consider all body bags to be equally tragic; In the kingdom of God, we are not allowed to have any enemies–we’re forbidden to have enemies of flesh and blood; The ones who think that they are our enemies, we are commanded to love them, to serve them, to lay down our life for them; Two distinct categories–crime and sin; Some things can be a crime but not sin, and some things can be sin but not a crime

Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX discusses the real problem with America… spiritual bankruptcy, as well as the real solution for America… the gospel of Jesus Christ.

[Part 4 of a 7-Part series]

Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX
Full Podcast: A Real Message for a Real World
Date: 1/23/11
Speaker: Rodney Shaw
Notes: The problem with America is our morality; The issue of life is a great example: those who oppose abortion sometimes are the loudest advocates for war… and those who are the loudest advocates against war are advocates for abortion, so it’s just pick whose life you want to take… “let’s go take adult lives, or let’s take kid lives”; Life is precious in whatever form you find it, and a Christian should avoid all possibilities that they would be put in the circumstance to have to take another life; The real problem with America is not that we took prayer out of schools–If we had godly judges, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had praying teachers and administrators, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had praying parents, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had a praying electorate, we would not keep voting in people who don’t pray; Our legislators call in chaplains to open their sessions with prayer, and then they don’t let them pray in the name of Jesus; The real problem with America is spiritual bankruptcy; America’s problem is not a political problem; The early church turned their world upside down and they had no political power; The early church had a transforming influence on the world so that in a matter of a few centuries the whole known world was Christianized, but they couldn’t vote against the morality of Rome; They preached the gospel, and they preached miracles and signs following; They didn’t have a social gospel or a club gospel, or something that was politically correct or socially palpable… they preached a message of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ crucified; They preached a message that when people heard it and they believed it their lives were transformed, and things happened in people’s hearts–not because of legislation–but because of the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ

Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX discusses the problem with looking to legislation for our morality…

[Part 3 of a 7-Part series]

Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX
Full Podcast: A Real Message for a Real World
Date: 1/23/11
Speaker: Rodney Shaw
Notes: A Christian’s final victories or defeats are not political victories or defeats; Legislating morality for the immoral is not a sustainable model; Telling sinners not to sin has never worked; Romans 7; The law provides us a way, but it provides us no power to go in the way; Paul tells us that the wisdom of God is foolishness to the ungodly; If we look to legislation for our morality, we could be in great trouble someday because legislation is passed by a group of politicians; The big question in a pluralistic society is… whose morality do you want to pass as law?; In a pluralistic society, we can’t depend on legislation as we did even 2-3 generations ago; That does not minimize our responsibility to do what we need to do… it does not minimize our attempts at every level and every opportunity to stop people from murdering other people, and to stop immorality; The problem with America is not that we don’t have enough laws, but that we have lost our moral compass

We have discovered a new and powerful weapon… nonviolent resistance.”
