An ultimate Ron Paul video: the latest with Bernanke

It's always cause for rejoicing when another video scene arrives featuring our hero and presidential candidate Dr. Paul pointing out the obvious to Mr. Fantasy Looney Tunes, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke. This one is, I think, the most hard-hitting yet. Warning: starts with sickening bloviations by Barney Frank!

Ron Paul Assaults Ben Bernanke On Parallel Currencies

Here Ron throws in an idea that he says is common around the world, and despite the fact that not a single case comes to mind, it fires the imagination. So far in my experience, only two absolute positions are ever discussed for America's currency -- all gold/silver or all paper. Parallel currencies -- why not? Let people buy and sell in whatever medium they want.

The trouble as always with the Permanent Regime we've got in Washington is brutal dictatorship. It refuses to abandon worthless paper and go back to real money -- that's bad enough. But they crush any peaceful benign alternative citizens come up with in the direction, as they have every right to -- as I write, the genius that gave us Liberty Dollar is in danger of spending the rest of his life behind bars for it.

The Fed is 100% evil. No "name" politician is willing to publicly cry foul on it except one -- Ron Paul. When he does, note the obnoxious bleatings he gets from Bernanke in response:

on currency freedom: "Nobody's stopping you from saving your money in whatever currency you want". (But personal savings are only one corner of the whole canvas.) "Your free to hold euros or yen or anything else" -- gee, thanhs, as if they weren't fiat currencies waiting to go pop too!

on the looming crisis Ron describes in the end, Bernanke replies in another cut of this video "I'll be happy to talk to you about this". Talk is cheap, smarm covers a multitude of sins!

WORD WAYS: The Youtube member who posted this video no doubt had the best intentions, but analytically speaking, I do take issue with his choice of the word "assaults". That is basically a negative, pejorative term; the good Doctor was in fact not assaulting anybody but decrying assaults on himself and the entire population by the Federal Reserve.

Most words have either a negative or pejorative cast to them, if you'll notice. Leftists do notice, and exploit the subleties there to the fullest.
