This was a little too interesting for the low-content thread. I hadn't seen this video before but it sounds like Ron Paul feels a little differently about 9/11 than he talked about while he was in the spotlight.

He's honest, but he's not crazy. By and large, people are simply not willing to look at some of the very stange peculiarities surrounding 9/11 and the Official story.

Think of the close-minded hostility that is openly displayed by media pundits these days. Hell, you can't even criticize the government's wars without being branded as someone who must hate all of the "brave men and women serving our country." Ha! serving our Government is what they (soldiers and the media) a're really doing, but it's next to impossible to get most people to see the distinction (and its implications). Ron even got booed in a recent C4L speech when he acknowledged that foreign people don't like our military waging war inside their countries.

It's a scary time in history. This country doesn't seem that far away from "Achtung Arab!" chants and furnaces being fired up. The republicans wouldn't have any problem at all (other than PR) nominating someone advocating that.

I wish she wouldn't have asked him that. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth and all that...

@ Groucho

Couldn't have said it better myself. This is why today it's important to speak up. So many bad things in history have occurred because of people afraid to speak the truth due to fear generated by the disapproval of the masses.

Thank you, your excellency of Freedonia.
