My God How Can One Brain Have This Much Smartness?

I'm just stunned at how vast Mr. Paul's knowledge is. All of the things he has been fighting for in congress over the decades are well founded in facts and reason. He knows history, he knows what makes for a prosperous and happy people, and he knows how to clearly explain himself on every issue. His views are very consistent as you will find when you read this book. He cares about what is right and he's been fighting for what's right for decades in the face of massive opposition. If you want to know what is going on with our foreign policy then you should buy this book. If you want to know a lot more about about Ron Paul then buy this book. If you want to know the truth about our empire then buy this book.

A must read for everyone who cares about this country!

God Bless Ron Paul. The only politician in American with a true understanding of the economy, monetary system, foreign policy, and the founders of this great nation.

Let the debate begin.

No one could accuse Ron Paul of flip-flopping. His statements of 1983/1984 are almost a word-for-word echo of his 2008 presidential campaign speeches and publications.

Much of what was foreseen has come to pass, with the collapse of the American economy taking longer than originally suggested because of the fall of communism and the rise in wealth of far eastern states, which has permitted the use of off-shoring as a way to reduce costs for western manufacturing, and the ability for Americans to enjoy a period of cheap credit by way of dollars paid being returned as loans for incidental purchases and to create the unsustainable housing bubble. A housing bubble which has had an international impact of catastrophic proportions in the form of the credit-crunch because of bad mortgages being monetised into unrecoverable debt. A consequence of this is that, anything not manufactured in China, such as oil and food, for example, is showing an inflation rate of at least 30%, and not the under 5% that is more politically acceptable.

As Ron Paul pointed out, the degeneration in the purpose of politics has a negative impact on Americans. Most recently, Hilary Clinton, in spite of gaining the most votes in the presidential primaries, was forced to concede to Barak Obama because the Democratic Party Super-Delegates reckoned that this was strategically the better choice to win an election for the Democratic party. In 2000 the Supreme Court overrode the popular vote for Al Gore and decided the election outcome. No government by the people for the people here, it would seem, but many Republicans were content.

The Truman doctrine was mentioned with regard to its undermining of the Congress's ability to hold a president in check. The errors of the Wilsonian WW1 era predicated on the doctrine of 'making the world safe for democracy' were mentioned.

Herman Goering is quoted, and it is interesting to note that the 'slob on the farm' can now hope to get back in one piece, with the added incentive that he/she may now be eligible for free college funding so that they can become good socialists-cum-stakeholder capitalists, and be better able to subvert the constitution for future generations.

This book by Ron Paul is straightforward to read and follow, and may be the basis for the launching of a debate amongst the American people, including non-Americans who are affected by American policies. For example: Did American foreign policy develop as a counter to European imperialism from 1823 onwards, and simply not as a way to expand the power of the Federal Government. Perhaps the publishers of this book could divert some of their profits towards a good Internet discussion board for this purpose.

A Foreign Poloicy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship

Very accurate, information all Americans should know about the history and solutions for their country.

A must read.

Almost like a prophet, Ron has been trying to warn congress of the dangerous U.S. foreign policy, but as usual the warnings fall on the ears of the deaf, dumb, and blind.

Ron Paul has always believed that foreign and domestic policy should be conducted according to the same principles. Government should be restrained from intervening at home or abroad because its actions fail to achieve their stated aims, create more harm than good, shrink the liberty of the people, and violate rights. Does that proposition seem radical? Outlandish or farflung? Once you hear it stated, it makes perfect sense that there is no sharp distinction between the principles of domestic and foreign policy. They are part of the same analytical fabric. What would be inconsistent would be to favor activist government at home but restraint abroad, or the reverse: restraint at home and activism abroad. Government unleashed behaves in its own interests, and will not restrict itself in any area of life. It must be curbed in all areas of life lest freedom suffer. Ron Paul's singular voice on foreign affairs has done so much to keep the flame of a consistent liberty burning in times when it might otherwise have been extinguished. He has drawn public attention to the ideas of the Founders. He has alerted people to the dangers of empire. He has linked domestic and foreign affairs through libertarian analytics, even when others have been bamboozled by the lies or too intimidated to contradict them. He has told the truth, always. For this, every American, every citizen of the world, is deeply in his debt. We can't but be deeply grateful that Ron Paul's prophetic words have been collected in this book. May it be widely distributed. May its lessons be absorbed by this and future generations. -- Foreword to "A Foreign Policy of Freedom" by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
