  <default-description>&lt;B&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This much is true: you have been lied to, robbed and used by your own government-the people &lt;EM&gt;you&lt;/EM&gt; elected into office and the people you should be able to trust...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;/B&gt;In a nation thirsty for change, THE REVOLUTION is Ron Paul's call to arms. Moving from topic to topic at a quick pace, whittling everything down to its bare essentials, Paul tackles everything facing us today: the false choices in American politics, foreign policy as it was laid out by the founding fathers, how we can achieve economic freedom, how we should view abortion, civil liberties and personal responsibility, and what role the government is supposed to play in our lives. As Barry Goldwater defined conservatism in the 60s, Ron Paul redefines it for the 21st century with THE REVOLUTION.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Dr. Paul rocks. This work is a nice afternoon or evening read that one can knock out in a matter of hours and yet it says pretty much all that needs to be said about our government and our times.<br/><br/>It would have been nice if the work had citations or footnotes in it but I also don't think t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25936417">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was a reluctant reader of Ron Paul.  Having watched his recent run at presidential politics, I dismissed his shrill ranting as unfailingly naïve; then, once I deemed him not having a snowball’s chance at victory, I ceased to listen.  At a friend’s urging/prodding/threatening, I read his book ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45366973">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very thought-provoking book.  It makes you question the conventional political wisdom and presents very clearly how a lot of the supposed choices that are considered on Capitol Hill neglect other, perhaps better choices.  It's rare to have a politician lay out why he or she votes the way h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41200423">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm on page 36 and couldn't agree more with what Ron Paul has said so far about beomg an isolationist.  War should be in self-defense and we need to stop supporting any other country with foreign aid.  He espouses going back to the way that our Founding Fathers thought about foreign relations.

    <body><![CDATA[I would highly recommend this book to anyone.  He does a good job of explaining how the main issues everyone complains about with the government have come about, and he does it in a way that is easy to understand.
