And in this corner with an almost unchallenged record "The Status Quoooooo!"
In a report on the 2011 CPAC address given by Senator and Republican presidential nominee hopeful Ron Paul, FOX news aired a clip from the 2010 CPAC convention that showed the crowd booing the senator. The actual clip shows an overwhelming majority of young republicans applauding with fervor as the speaker begins his speech about challenging the status quo to defend our liberties and preserve our national sovereignty and prosperity. The two CPAC speeches even at the same person introduce Ron Paul with the same background. Fox news was forced to give an apology due to overwhelming protests by the public. They simply stated that after digging up the old footage from 2010 and comparing it to the 2011 coverage that they had made an honest mistake. It’s funny. Why did they have to dig up the old footage when they had it right there on their desk after they ran it on the national news?
In a brief synopsis, I will quickly go through the speeches paragraph’s main points that are against the status quo.
A revolution is going on. There is a change in ideas and philosophies.
Patriotism has nothing to do with the patriot act. We need to protect our civil and economic liberties.
In regards to Egypt and other civil unrest around the world, we need to do a lot less, a lot more, all over.
Propping up a dictatorships a broad has been a waste we can’t afford.
The status quo used to be against foreign aid. I’m still against foreign aid but now I’m against the status quo.
Propping up Middle Eastern dictators has been the status quo for over 30 years.
I have never voted for appropriation bill for aid to another foreign country.
Government bank bailouts, Federal Reserve spending and investments in the military industrial complex (as opposed to national defense) have been the status quo.
We should audit and end the Federal Reserve. It has eroded 93% of the buying power of the 1913 dollar.
We have had enough bipartisanship in the last 20 years. Debates such as bad Health Care vs. No Health Care or both parties coming together to enact bad policies has been the status quo.
Both parties should practice bipartisanship by coming together and agreeing to cut excessive budget spending from their respective constituencies.
Devotion to liberty has been against the status quo .Freedom of expression goes against the current status quo.
We should not use violent military actions our global neighbors.
Government should never be able to do anything that you cannot do.
There should be no redistribution of wealth and America.
We should consider giving 10% to taxes, taking care of ourselves and asking nothing from government.
There’s no authority in the constitution to have a Federal reserve system, no authority for a welfare state and no authority for a police state.
Perhaps Senator Ron Paul is not so against the “Status Quo” as our leaders and mainstream media would lead us, or mislead us, to believe.
In these changing times, when the world is connected by truth that rides the ether like light from the heavens, we must seize the day.
Ill tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us for wasting the dawn…
-Jim Morrison
