Ron Paul: ‘Secession…Good News Is It’s Gonna Happen; It’s Happening’

Posted by | February 19, 2015 22:00 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


Ron Paul was speaking to the Libertarian Mises Institute.

“I would like to start off by talking about the subject and the subject is secession and, uh, nullification, the breaking up of government, and the good news is it’s gonna happen. It’s happening,” Paul, the father of potential Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, told a gathering at the libertarian Mises Institute in late January. The event Paul was speaking at was titled “Breaking Away: The Case for Secession.”

Paul said secession would not be legislated by Congress, but would be defacto, predicting “when conditions breakdown…there’s gonna be an alternative.”

“And it’s not gonna be because there will be enough people in the U.S. Congress to legislate it. It won’t happen. It will be defacto. Ya know, you’ll have a gold standard when the paper standard fails and we’re getting awfully close to that. And people will have to resort to taking care of themselves. So when conditions breakdown, ya know, there’s gonna be an alternative. And I think that’s what we’re witnessing.”

      I’m surprised he doesn’t wear his foil hat at ALL times.

      The new congress has narrowed the definition of treason to down to criticizing the American Sniper movie. Sorry you didn’t get the memo.

    I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside

    Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side

    I saw the young boys as they began to fall

    You had tears in your eyes ’cause you couldn’t help at all

    But you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb

    You fought all the way Johnny Reb

    – Johnny Reb Lyrics

    Really Paul? Lincoln kicked your asses with cannonballs. Just think what we’re going to do with Cruise missiles.

    • Chinese Democracy February 20th, 2015 at 00:15

      I’m OK with the confederate states leaving the union… but they tried it and it didn’t work out so well huh? lol

      • bluejayray February 20th, 2015 at 00:47

        They’ll be flat broke in a week.

        • rg9rts February 20th, 2015 at 02:36

          They’ll deny it but the red states are always there with the hand out….

      • fahvel February 20th, 2015 at 03:18

        back then Lincoln wanted them to stay -today they should be released, set adrift, and not even be waved to.
