A gift to those who believe that political action will set us free. By Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio – Freedomain Radio is the largest and most popular philosophy show on the web – www.freedomainradio.com Hi everybody, it’s Stefan Molyneux from Freedomain Radio. So it is January 3, 2012 and tonight is in some ways the make or break for Ron Paul in Iowa. Now, I’ve made my position on political action clear, but of course no one can predict the future, and what I think is absolutely necessary for the rescuing of liberty from the jaws of tyranny is commitment – is commitment! So, I’m going to hand you a little gem of a speech which I think is necessary for Ron Paul to win. If you believe that Ron Paul is going to secure liberty, that Ron Paul is the best hope for the freedom of the Union, then you need to be committed – and being committed is not about personal commitment; being committed is about social commitment. I’ve run successful companies, I’ve started the largest philosophy show in the world – I know little bit about success, and I know little bit about commitments. I hope you will take this advice, because if you believe that this is how it’s going to work, then you need to give it 250% if it’s going to work. I don’t want you to look back upon regret if Ron Paul does not succeed in the way you want him to, and kick yourself for not doing more. So here’s the more that you can do. You need to get people out to vote for Ron Paul – and that is a matter of …

Like does Ron Paul ever talk about the AMA and the artificial barriers to entry into the medical field? And I wonder how many baby boys’ penises he mutilated.

THANK YOU .

The entire system needs to be changed on soooo many levels. The abolishment of the federal reserve is definitely the start of a better future I fully agree with you stef. In order for this machine to stop working the many parts and cogs that make it run need to be dismantled bit by bit.

The destruction of native fauna and flora is a vital aspect also that is created by our consumption patterns and the corporations wasteful practices. The corproate fascist dictatorship needs to be overthrown also. Meaningful jobs need to be created and not the meaningless jobs that are destructive on so many levels and contribute to a criminal system. Every person or unit that contributes is perpetutaing the problems of unequal wealth distribution and rape and pillaging of our world around us.

What the hell is it going to take for Americans to realize that we are a nation run by criminals? Your property is not secure, it can be taken away at a moments notice on a bogus charge. Now under The Military Authorization act, all you have to do is be picked up under suspicion of terror and it all goes bye-bye. Under this act you go bye-bye without charge, representation, trial and held indefinitely in a military prison. This means that everything you have including life, is an illusion

I think that the line in the sand about friendships makes a lot of sense. There is really a point where you need to know where your friendships really stand.

If America fails , Freedom dies here and no one has ANYWHERE to run.

@Caturdayz I must have been making my toast during the preface. I know how cool it is that Dr. Paul seems to be so close to a major party nomination, but I think I might be starting to like Bill Still a little more.
I would really like to see a conversation between the two. Not an interview, not a debate, just footage of the two tossing ideas around.

The Death Metal God approves. This is one of your best videos, Stefan!

@RagaDagga
Notice that he did preface this video by saying that this was for those who ardently believe that Ron Paul is our best hope. Not that he necessarily believes it himself.
I am going to support Ron Paul in 2012, because there really is no other viable option, but I know what it’s like to be fooled by a lying politician.
I honestly don’t believe that Paul will get the Republican nomination, but that he is bringing this message to the masses is incredible still.

@Epifrin Thanks to you too. :] I’d friend you if I knew how…
January 26th, 2012 on 8:07 am
@twilightawakening Thanks for the exchange.
January 26th, 2012 on 8:59 am
@Epifrin Yeah, I’m familiar with it. Your theory seems to make a lot of sense.
January 26th, 2012 on 9:05 am
@RagaDagga Your snide comment doesn’t enhance the conversation.
January 26th, 2012 on 9:32 am
@twilightawakening Right?!? Hey Stef, what’s with the sudden bout of political enthusiasm?
January 26th, 2012 on 10:17 am
what happened to The Truth About Voting…

@twilightawakening Not sure that link works. It’s from the video about the “delusional Harry Potter”, you’d have to look for my comment and his response to it.

@twilightawakening I remember him saying he broke with his family. Sorry though, couldn’t find the links as I believe Stef doesn’t make his childhood the topic of the podcast making it difficult to find (he only goes over it very quickly to illustrate a point).
He acknowledges having a difficult childhood however, something you’re not unfamiliar with I’m sure:

@Epifrin Do you have any links to those podcasts?

@rodrigodet
So you would rather go hide under a rock? We must make tyrants show their true colors.
January 26th, 2012 on 12:48 pm
Thanks Stefan
January 26th, 2012 on 1:08 pm
@twilightawakening I agree with you.
In the other vid Stef is getting angry. I beileve he should do what he does best, go in easy logical steps instead of getting angry like a less educated person would if confronted with the undeniable truth.
I think Stef may be justifying on a less conscious level the drastic decisions he may have made in regards to family earlier in his life, as he got deeper into philosophy. He talks about this in his podcasts. I could be totally wrong.

Statism is dead and if Ron Paul gets elected so is he.
The idea that if Ron Paul gets in power all this highly invested corrupt people are just going to sit there while he takes their power away is absurd.
