Ron Paul warns of ‘dictatorship in Washington DC’

GOP Presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) on Tuesday warned of too much “dictatorship in Washington D.C.” while on a campaign stop in Mason City, Iowa. 

“We’re not on the verge of having a king, but we are on the verge of having way too much dictatorship in Washington, D.C.,” Paul said, comparing the U.S.’s current situation to a Biblical tale in which the ancient Israelites demanded, against their own good, that a king rule their land instead of God. 

“Our rights come from our creator, not our government,” added Paul according to the The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier. 

Paul, who announced last month that he will run for president for the third time, faces an uphill battle as many Americans consider his positions to be on the far fringe of the right-wing.

Paul, however, noted that he had recently observed a seismic shift in American politics.

“The mainstream is changing,” said Paul. “The mainstream wants balanced budgets, sound government and personal liberties — that is mainstream.”

“The shift is in our direction — obeying the Constitution for a change,” he said.

   well I intend to follow the words of JB Williams:
   Dear candidate – What do YOU intend to do about the fraud in the White House
   and the utter intentional destruction of the U.S. Constitution, our economic
   systems and our way of life under their criminally evil assault on all things
   American?

   If you don’t answer this question correctly, I have no second question for you!
   I stand for the Constitution, including Article II. If you don’t,
   I’m not interested…

   Well, Paul is somewhat left-leaning on some issues, such as: drug-use! And if Trump gets in this…he will really mess up the (R) ticket!

   And that could allow the (D)’s to win? Trump should do what’s right…but running on the (R) ticket! Splitting the tickets is NOT good for us! That always has come back to keep the “right person” from being elected.

   The only time, I remember, that it didn’t mess up the (R) ticket, is when Nixon ran in ’72, and John G. Schmitz (sp) ran on the A.I.P. Ticket! No one listened to Schmitz! And now we’re paying for it!

   That’s the year Nixon demolished McGovern, in a Landslide victory! So it didn’t have much affect on Nixon winning! But this time, I think it will be extremely “sensitive” to not foul up this next election, with another party!
