I really can not describe how much I truly love seeing the younger fiery Ron Paul take on a Jerry Springer like crowd with the very same ideas that he is still preaching today as an older gentle gentleman.

As sad as this clip is, it makes you realize how far we have come as a society that Ron Paul is now invited on MSNBC on shows such as the Rachel Maddow show and given his fair shake.

I can’t help but find the humor in language like,”he was using his automatic selector,” I assume he means a remote control.

If you don’t have time to watch the entire clip I recommend:
3:00
4:01 (to see what Ron Paul had to go through to get to this point)
4:59
6:17
7:02(the most classic moment in all of Ron Paul lore.)
7:42 (Ron Paul, “you don’t make any sense” LOL)
Bottomline Ron Paul has made sense for 21 years…cue Rand Paul stage left…the fire in the Paul family has been reignited.

But this country has come a long way, and if one person would have stood up in the crowd and told Ron to calm down because in 20 years he would have run a Presidential campaign that raised in excess of $25 million and then only months later would have a bill in the House that had over 270 Congressmen cosponsoring an audit of the Federal Reserve Banking system Ron would have fainted.

Don Harrold has been around for a few years with a growing economic presence.

For a long time he was yet another voice in the wilderness. He has spent a large amount of his airtime on YouTube denouncing he likes of Jim Cramer and the path that he was leading the average American investor down.

If you go back and watch his previous videos over the last several years, he is on par with the likes of Peter Schiff in predicting the economic crisis that we are now in.

That is why I sit up and take notice when he declares that the next shoe is about to drop in our economic system and at that time, the bankers will again turn to the American public for financing the next bailout.

Dennis Kucinich is one of the most prominent Democrats that has cosponsored Ron Paul’s H.R. 1207, which would audit the Federal Reserve.
The most telling part of Dennis’s question is this quote: “the fed is paying banks bigger interest rates to keep their funds parked at the Fed, instead of loaning the money to the American people.”
What this exposes is that the TARP money was more about saving the businesses of the banks than it was saving any ordinary person on mainstreet.
The Fed has to chose between inflation and loosening up the credit markets and the fact is that they are choosing inflation in the long term and tight credit markets in the short term. In other words a lose, lose for the American public. Disgusting. Time to audit the Fed.

To say that this clip is heavy for a Saturday night in the oblivious party that is a major American city, is beyond an understatement.
While I am pleased to see a Congressman who voted for the invasion of Iraq come to see the error in his logic, sadly it is far to little and far to late.
The damage has been done.
Any action we take from here on out regarding the mental health of our soldiers who witnessed hell on earth in Iraq (and in many cases contributed to the hell) is now a cure and no longer a prevention.
But let us remember these sacrificed soldiers, who have gave their bodies and even more so their minds to this needless war because they were convinced it was right.
As Iran and even North Korea looms on the horizon let us remember the cost.
