In February 2009, Ron Paul gave the following speech on the floor of the US House of Representatives. If anything, it is even more applicable now, as it was then.

I love my country, I love my army, and I love my Constitution with all of my heart....but I hate my government. This man is nothing like the rest of them. In 30 years of service he hasn't taken a dime from lobbyists, he hasn't supported illegal wars EVER. He hasn't supported any illegal bank or corporation bail out....what magnificent courage.
Above you ladies and gentlemen is the last great american leader. He was our last chance, unless someone else steps up to the plate again and speaks the truth. It's like he put a wig on, and invoked the spirit of John Adams, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson.
The pirates known as ''american politicians'' have hijacked the United States Constitution that I ,and many others have sworn to defend. We used to be the greatest nation on earth; it wasn't just propaganda. It was true; as evidenced by the greatest voluntary migration of human beings to any one country in the history of world. No one nation has had more nationalities and ethnic groups in one place in such large numbers.
They came here for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Not government benefits, not government invasions of privacy, not government extortion, and not illegal wars. They came here to do their best, and while doing so gaining a better life for themselves and their loved ones. We aren't stamping out fascism anymore; we are nation building, and putting fascists in place in many cases.
May the men who started this experiment in ''self' government forgive us.
