What is Dr. Paul’s young message? Liberty!
Again, he makes an argument for Liberty while speaking at Loyola University, in a presentation called “The Case Against The Fed” …
He was invited by Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo:
“Dr. Paul presents a very convincing case that the Federal Reserve is not only the cause of much of our current economic condition, but is continuing with policies that will lead to greater difficulties in the future,” said Thomas DiLorenzo, Ph.D., a professor of economics at Loyola who arranged Dr. Paul’s appearance. “In addition to calling for the first audit of the Fed, he also proposes several alternatives for managing the U.S. money supply.”Loyola – Media – News.
Here are some excerpts from an article by Ian Mathias (DailyReckoning.com) who attended the event…
Newsflash: Ron Paul Loves Liberty
01/29/10 Baltimore, Maryland – When Dr. Paul delivered a one-hour speech Wednesday night in a small auditorium at this editor’s alma mater – Loyola University in Maryland – we knew what to expect. His message is a familiar one, and perhaps one of Dr. Paul’s more endearing qualities is that his message rarely changes. If you’ve ever seen him on TV or heard him speak, you might as well have been there with us. There was no big news, or announcements, or changes in policies. The man wants liberty, and that’s that.
But that’s not to say we found nothing of note. Au contraire… Ron Paul himself is just as interesting as his message.
Ron Paul is funny – “I really didn’t expect anyone to show up,” were the first words of his speech. “There is this other speech happening tonight, but I don’t think you’ll be missing a lot… We scheduled ours before the other guy,” he quipped.
Ron Paul is old – He’s obviously no spring chicken, but Dr. Paul has been around even longer than you might think. This weekend he’ll be celebrating his 53rd wedding anniversary. He has great grand kids – three of ’em.
Ron Paul is young – “I’m really pleased with the reception at colleges,” he noted quite frankly… the “Ron Paul brand” is surprisingly youthful. Your editor was flanked on all sides by the “Young Americans for Liberty,” an outspoken club of undergrads in awkward suits, grinning ear to ear at the sight of their idol, Dr. Ron Paul.
That’s no surprise to him: “We’re trying to promote something very young,” he responded to those who say he’ll send us back to the dark ages. “Liberty has not been around very long. These are not ancient ideas.” He reminded the audience that tyranny, monarchy and oligarchy are old ideas, and he’s not surprised that a college crowd – having just escaped the monarchy of Mom and Dad – thirsts for libertarianism.
