Rep. Ron Paul, former Republican presidential candidate and leading light of the current libertarian grassroots movement, enjoyed a huge rock star moment at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), as he took the stage Friday to thunderous applause and a standing ovation in a ballroom filled to capacity.

“End the Fed. End the Fed. End the Fed.”
Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, hadn’t even started speaking Friday evening before a fired-up crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference exalted the former presidential candidate by chanting the title of his book blasting the Federal Reserve.
“It sounds to me like the revolution is alive and well,” Paul shouted back.

Paul was the only speaker so far to fill the entire convention hall at the Conservative Political Action Conference, and some of his supporters were turned away after the room reached its capacity of 1,100 people.
“Debt is the monster, debt is what is going to eat us up and that’s why our economy is on the brink,” Paul said. “The next step is a currency crisis because there will be a rejection of the dollar and the rejection of the dollar will be a big, big event.”

Libertarian Texas Congressman Ron Paul – who has a large and occasionally rowdy backing throughout the country – was scheduled to speak here at the Conservative Political Action Conference at 4:30 Friday afternoon. Large conferences being what they are, the schedule is running a little behind. But Paul’s mass of supporters started streaming into the hall on time, filling it up to near capacity and marking the biggest crowd of the day.

Paul's speech was greeted with roars from a crowd of hundreds filled with his supporters and those getting their first taste of his liberty-oriented message. Paul talked for a good while about the philosophical differences he and his supporters have with the republican establishment, but offered that those who may disagree with him on certain issues think hard about supporting freedom as whole rather than in pieces.
