More From Ron Paul
- "I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don’t need a national ID card."
- "The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence."
- "Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense."

- "The war in Iraq, clearly has not turned out in the way that was hoped."― William Hague
- "Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: ‘War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.’"― Immanuel Kant
