Ron Paul reserved unusually strong language, even for him, for
his farewell speech on the House of Representatives floor today. The
speech marked the end of Paul's last term in Congress, though his more
dramatic farewell came at the end of his
presidential campaign.
Paul spoke for nearly 45 minutes, slamming the political establishment,
the TSA, the federal government, Internet regulations, police searches,
and, of course, the Federal Reserve. The speech seemed at times to be one
long complaint about the dearth of libertarian ideas in Congress.
"Our liberties have been eroded, our wealth has been consumed,"
Paul said.
He blasted "psychopathic authoritarians" who "endorse
government-initiated force to change the world."
"Even when the goals are well-intentioned or especially when they're
well-intentioned, the results are dismal," Paul said.
"Sadly we have become accustomed to living the with the illegitimate
use of force by government," Paul said.
Paul's son, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, tweeted earlier that he was in
the room with his father and said, "We're about to hijack the
house!"
"If you find this to be a worthwhile message, spread it throughout
the land," Paul concluded, to brief applause.
