Ron Paul Speaks

by Philip Haddad, Roger Marsh, Ron Paul (Introduction)

Congressman Ron Paul-the presidential candidate who broke twenty-four-hour fundraising records twice-is a man of powerful, occasionally controversial convictions who does not pander to any political agenda other than what he believes is already supported by our Constitution. For the first time in one volume, here are Ron Paul?s dynamic statements
on hundreds of critical issues-from abortion to immigration to terrorism
to welfare.

[Phillip · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a great reminder of what a true constitutional republic looks like and how the country has strayed from its foundational roots. The architects of this nation must be spinning in their graves. Reading the content makes me wonder if we're still a free nation. Of course I didn't agree with everything the author wrote, but the subject matter gave pause to reconsider a few of my dearly held beliefs. If nothing else, the book helped to recenter my political and historical beliefs, not toward any partisan political party, but to provide perspective on where we are at in this beloved home of mine.

Five stars for the ideas, but considerably less for the collection compiled here by Haddad. I say that because they vary in quality, from pithy and impassioned to drawn out and repetitive. This would serve as a decent primer for those unfamiliar with Ron Paul who want to learn what he's about, as essentially all of his major beliefs are outlined by these quotes. But for someone who is already a Paulist, there's little you'll get out of it if you read it cover to cover. Maybe if you want to keep it around as a coffee table book, it will serve that purpose well.

This is a must-read if you are sick of Republicans and Democrats! He has great ideas and is willing to stand against the government machine!
