Jan. 2000. Founders wanted Republic, not pure democracy or monarchy. They would be appalled at the power government now has. Talked about Echelon phone spying program. Criticizes Education and Housing getting worse under government. Government props up Corporatist insurance & makes things worse. Founders explicitly opposed modern welfare, includes corporate welfare. Police state with Waco & Ruby RIdge examples.

Speeches on the house floor and you can hear the procedures in the beginning of each speech. Paul talks about police abuses, killing dogs and cats and abusing pregnant women to the point of miscarriage. He questions why police wear masks to hide their faces (back in 1997) . Talks against abortion. He talks about how anti-flag burning attempt would require constitutional amendment (and does so sarcastically)
