Ron Paul's Farewell Speech
Perhaps one of the most enthralling speeches ever delivered on the floor before Congress was former Texas congressman Dr. Ron Paul's farewell address. The good doctor laid it all out for the world to see: America has drifted away from its roots in respecting freedom and upholding personal liberty, private property rights, and a free trade, no war foreign policy. Where are we headed now? Tyranny, folks.




This man spewed more truth out on the floor of Congress in under an hour than Obama had over the course of the last five years. From revealing the corruption of lobbying by special interest groups on Wall St. to unraveling the nature of our interventionist imperial foreign policy and the consequences of unjust, undeclared wars, Paul decidedly declared his independence from the horrible political machine that is Washington. The speech, typical of Paul's style and diction, was reverent of individual rights and personal freedom.

15 minutes and 20 seconds into the speech, the good doctor takes off the gloves, and asks his poor patients some very uncomfortable questions. "Why are sick people who use medical marijuana put in prison?" "Why can't Americans decide which kind of light bulbs they can buy?" "Why have we allowed the Federal government to regulate commodes in our homes?" All excellent questions, Dr. Paul. Unfortunately, the house had no answers.
