Former Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul spoke with Neil Cavuto on FOX News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto on Monday to discuss the Bundy Ranch standoff (see video below). Paul tells Cavuto that he is pleased with the outcome of the feds backing down, but reminds us that “governments don’t give up their power easily,” and because of that historic fact, government may return with more force as they did in the Waco, TX siege during Democrat Bill Clinton’s administration:
“I’m hoping this is very positive of things to come, with people standing up and objecting to the federal government’s intrusion into our lives and everything that we do. And when the people do get together and stand up, I think government will be forced to back down. But the other thing is, is that governments don’t give up their power easily, and they may well come back with more force like they did at Waco with the Davidians. So, I don’t know which way it’s going, but so far so good.”
Paul told Cavuto that he was “delighted” that the standoff had thus far ended non-violently and that he hopes that it will continue to be non-violent:
“I was delighted that they got through those couple days and there wasn’t any shooting and no killing, because I really encourage, you know, the demonstration against unfairness by our government, but I’d like to see it all non-violent and that weekend, so far, turned out to be a good step.”
Paul then made the point that the dispute was caused by federal government overreach and usurpation of state land, noting that when the government says they own land, “everybody owns it, yet nobody owns it.”
“They had virtual ownership of that land because they had been using it….but it’s not clean enough, I think land should be in the states and I think the states should sell it to the people, it’s worked out quite well in big states,” stated Paul while pointing out that publicly owned land encourages multiple special interest groups to fight over it.
Paul thinks that the federal government should get completely out of owning land for the sake of owning land, and that their involvement will lead to more problems in the future.
“You need the government out of it and I think that’s the important point, if you don’t look at that you can expect more of these problems, especially when our economy gets into more trouble,” said Paul, adding that the real enemy is “bad ideas and bad politics that we have to change.”
