The Unit was an excellent TV show. Most of the time. Went downhill a bit and it had some really fucking stupid episodes (two, I think) that made no sense - like the unit sergeant fighting in an imaginary monastery. Someone let the religious nuts wild with the script that time, apparently. First season was best.

“It is well that war is so terrible otherwise we could grow too fond of it.”

I think it's from Lee.


Now with modern era weapons like fighter drones, stealth bombers and missiles, war isn't that terrible anymore. Or at least, there is a part of what is inarguably war, that can be showed without being horrible. Say, the day of fire over Bagdad. I remember very clearly seeing something vaguely called war on TV, but the show was more about fireworks.

You don't know what war truly is until you experience it with your own eyes.

If You Like Ron Paul, Except on Foreign Policy

Quote
Learn why (edit: former) CIA and active duty military overwhelmingly support Ron Paul's foreign policy of non-interventionism. Versions of this video have been seen by millions of Americans and it has been proven to compel nearly half of undecided voters who watch it to support Ron Paul. Please share this video with everyone you know. Support our troops. Support Ron Paul. Thank you for joining in this movement and fighting for the cause of liberty.

I appreciate all this Nessaj, I'm assuming you're not from the US but you seem to be more informed about it then those of us who live here.
And how!

I'm no stranger or uneducated to and in Politics IRL though :wink: and since the USA leads the rest of the World it is up to everyone to get involved to have a proper President elected, probably not since JFK have there been a more honest politician with a chance for the oval office. I feel that everyone who is for liberty and freedom should promote Ron Paul at every possibility, big or small gestures, because the mainstream media and politicians all frown upon him so openly and obviously, even in Europe (BBC) you have clear-cut examples of Ron Paul purposely not being mentioned in terms of the presidential nominee race, and otherwise diminished at every turn possible. Therefore no one knows the truth or the full picture because it is not being presented to us on TV and unfortunately people still put all their faith in the evening news. See this video (same link as the others above) for absolute proof of global media manipulation.

For Liberty Re-cut - Ron Paul 2012 Handout DVD HD (Runtime: ~60 minutes)

Quote from: For Liberty Re-cut
Visit http://ronpaulfilm.com to order this DVD in bulk quantities!

In late 2009 we released a feature-length grassroots documentary entitled, "For Liberty: How the Ron Paul R3volution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty". Since then, we've been inundated with positive feedback from people all over the world who have viewed the film, and were inspired by Ron Paul's message of Freedom and Liberty. As independent filmmakers, we've been humbled by the response.

Soon after Ron Paul announced his new 2012 Presidential campaign on May 13th, 2011, we decided if we could shorten our original 120 minute film to just under 60 minutes, that it would make an excellent handout DVD to educate people about Ron Paul during his 2012 campaign.

We produced a 55 minute re-cut and posted it to RonPaulForums to be viewed, vetted and critiqued. Not long after, we debuted an updated version, which included a brand new 5 minute Addendum edit at the end featuring new exclusive commentary by Jack Hunter. The Addendum carries the viewer past the end of the 2008 campaign and through some of the successes Ron Paul & the Liberty Movement have had throughout 2008-2011.

With an updated subtitle, we completely re-designed the DVD's packaging and artwork into an informative literature piece in itself, and feel we've crafted the perfect Ron Paul 2012 presidential campaign handout piece. The best part is people can get them at a discounted price and in bulk quantities right here on this site.

The For Liberty 2012 Re-cut is packaged in a beautiful full-color 4 panel Wallet Sleeve, with each piece individually shrink-wrapped making for the perfect handout for rallies, fairs, when going door to door with literature about Ron Paul, and more.

Anyone who views the film will definitely take a 2nd look at Ron Paul in the upcoming straw polls, caucuses, and primaries.

I'd love to be able to find some Ron Paul speeches without ridiculous soundtracks or atmospheric movie music added to it, if you got links for those.

Yes please. I can't believe 'mericans stand listening to that-typical-bad-action-movie-ad-soundtrack during electoral campaigns like this.

That's quite a general problem with videos though and even a lot of documentaries today overuse music as well.

I personally prefer no music because it can and almost always does steer emotions in one way or another. Hopefully people will outgrow it some day.

Have to post this video Santorum Nostalgic for Abortions "in the Shadows," Warns of Euthanasia Increase - how can anyone ever vote for that man?

also Veteran's march:

The World is Endorsing Ron Paul For President 2012 (has -.- background music)
Veterans For Ron Paul - March on D.C. and the White House on President's Day 2012
Today February 20, 2012 (Live Coverage 2) Veterans March for Ron Paul
Today February 20, 2012 (Live Coverage 3) Veterans March for Ron Paul
Establishment Media Ignores Massive Ron Paul Veterans March
American soldiers are waking up to a lie (Veteran March Feb. 20th 2012)
Troops March on White House for Ron Paul

The Veterans march sends an extremely strong political message. The top brass actively tried to discourage people to not go to the demonstration and yet so many showed even in uniform.

You (still) think Ron Paul is a racist and/or have ties to white supremacy groups?

The Compassion of Dr. Ron Paul

Quote
James Williams of Matagorda County, Texas recounts a touching true story. Living in a still prejudiced Texas In 1972, his wife had a complication with her pregnancy. No doctors would care for her or deliver their bi-racial child. In fact one of the hospital nurses called the police on James.

Dr. Ron Paul was notified and took her in, delivering their stillborn baby. Because of the compassion of Dr. Ron Paul, the Williams' never received a hospital bill for the delivery.
