Ron Paul House Floor Speech: Republic Almost Completely Dead

Quote:

The Defense Authorization Act or H.R. 1540, aka The Forever War Act of 2012, was overwhelmingly approved by the House of Representatives earlier today on a vote of 322 to 96.

The Senate will now vote on its own version and then the two bills will need to be reconciled before going to Barry Obama for his signature into law.

The law authorizes the United States to use military force anywhere it says there are terrorists, including within the borders of our own country. It represents the largest hand-over of unchecked war authority from Congress to the executive branch in modern American history.

Having Ron and his son Rand both in congress talking about the patriot act is keeping things interesting.

Not good, not good at all, but we the American people don't have a vote in this, which I think is undemocratic. If they let us all vote on this stuff, it would most certainly not pass.

The US hasn't been a democracy in a very long time. Oligarchy, sure. Democracy? Nah.

But what about all those terrorists trying to kill american babies? Surely we have the right to kill them? People as evil as hitler were right to have been killed by americans. Damn facist communist democrats.
