    Because he is the only candidate that sees himself as just another person trying to do some good in this world. The other guys think they are god's sent to control us feeble peasants and reap the benefits of our labor. hahaha

    Ron Paul cares about preserving basic human rights and observes due process. It is clear from his stance to stop all the wars that the US is engaged in all over the world that the man is tired of "policing" others. Not only is it a waste of money, but it simply doesn't work to constantly be in the surveillance business, keeping an eye on people of nations who are not immediate threats to the United States. They call it the Patriot Act, but it can be abused very easily to the point where it simply becomes an excuse for those in power to spy on others and infringe on their rights to privacy. The indefinite detainment bill also is just a form of torture especially when those detainees are "alleged" to have committed crimes. We as Americans need to avoid being seen as neo-Nazis, but the Republicans seem to be blind in their ambitions.

    FEMA camps and NDAA re the real thing. (just like an Orwellian Utopia) You'll be gettin' the eff out of dodge to avoid some kind of urban uprising because of a disaster or emergency and about 30 or 40 miles out of town traffic will stop. military stormtroopers will walk through stopped traffic and warn people to stay in their cars. when you get to the roadblock ahead you will be told to get out of your car (leave all of your belongings and your keys in the car) and wait in a holding area. You will then board a bus and go to one of their internment facilities where you will be in-processed. Hopefully you will not get to play any of their games (waterboarding, solitary confinement, etc)

    As for the NDAA (just signed into law by Barack Hussein Obama) that will be used to authorize the whole thing, did you read the book or see the movie "1984"? that's what it is. It allows any federal agency to declare an emergency and use the military forces to impose martial law. What they are doing in the mid east (door to door searches without warrants or any due process whatsoever) is only a rehearsal of what they have in store for us here. This is an article I wrote for another section.

    Do the police need a warrant to search me or my property? Under aspects of the US Constitution, all persons are protected from unwarranted searches and any other form of arbitrary harassment. Unfortunately modern courts have misinterpreted the intentions of the founding fathers who authored the US Constitution and Bill of Rights to give the police the power at their discretion to use "probable cause." Police should not be allowed to lawfully act on suspicions or whims, and any action against any person should be deemed unconstitutional. This also includes any electronic surveillance such as wiretaps, directional mics, etc. Of course under aspects of the "Patriot Act" they will claim that it is to protect us from terrorists. They also claim that states need to implement a REAL ID program so that sheeple can be digitally mapped for easy identification to once again... protect us from terrorists. Meanwhile, the southern border is wide open to basically let in whoever wants to come for whatever reason.

    The fact is this; the enforcement of drug and firearm prohibition has allowed the government to turn this country into a pig powered police state and everyday it is becoming more and more like the USSR. You might like all of this "protection" but personally I prefer to protect myself. If you are the kind of person that wants to give up your liberty for security then please go somewhere else like China or N Korea

    They both override the 4th amendment to the Constitution and he is the only one with enough sand to say so.
