Ron Paul’s treatment by mainstream media, other Republican hopefuls, and the punditry makes me think the W.B. Yeats lines “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world” also describe the year 2012 in the United States. Indeed, Paul’s experience in the nomination campaign suggests U.S. politics lacks reasoned substance, common sense, and an understanding of what America’s Founding Fathers intended.
Open up any newspaper to see the mess America has sunk itself into around the world: for example, facing off with China over a lone, non-American dissident whose safety has no relation to U.S. security.
Yet today, Paul’s call for staying out of other people’s wars unless genuine U.S. national interests are at stake is deemed radical, immoral, even anti-American. Amazing.
If elected president, Paul’s most valuable contribution to a prosperous and secure American future might well lie in his application of a noninterventionist foreign policy, following the wishes of George Washington and the other founders.
Before explaining why Paul’s foreign policy would benefit the United States, it is worth rebutting those ill-educated jackasses in politics, the media, and the academy who denigrate the founders as “dead white males.” To them, the modern world is so different from Washington’s time that nothing the founders said or wrote pertains to contemporary foreign-policymaking. Such self-serving and ahistoric attitudes allow their advocates to pursue policies negating the Constitution, piling up debt, and fueling relentless intervention abroad.

ReplyDeletePeople think this is an all-out passive stance. Their understanding of the politics is inadequate; thus foreign to their character. On the other-hand, the politics is not encouraged. So, the distinct American character suffers.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that no political party or media outlet will give Paul the time of day shows that both parties have the same agenda and they are using the MSM as a mouthpiece to further that agenda. The two established parties may use different methods to further their agenda, the agenda in the end is the same - to retain power in order to gain personal wealth. This is no longer about the people because they no longer represent the people. Their claims to represent the people is an illusion. An illusion intentionally created to keep the sheep in line. The last time those in power refused to adequately represent the people, a violent rebellion resulted in the birth of a nation founded upon individual liberties and freedom. How can it be that we allowed those fundamentals be plowed under by greedy politicians? If Ron Paul were to be elected, the greed present in both parties would be brought to light. The industrial military complex will be shown to be the never ending money pit it really is. Paul would be assasinated within the first year by the establishment.
ReplyDeleteRon's Foriegn policy ideas are truly sensible and will bring peace to the present chaos. People are being told by the "Experts" that it's bad policy, and are drinking that Kool Aid by the gallon and sharing with friends. The Liberals know what they are doing when they promote this crap.
ReplyDeleteI swear ---- I didn't pen the comment at 5:24! But it was a damn good comment.....
ReplyDeleteBullard Construction.
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that most "liberals" would rather vote for ron paul than Obama?
Ron Paul is not a republican, he is a libertarian running for the republican nomination, because hes not stupid and knows that there is zero possible way for him to win under a 3rd party.
A lot of americans cant count higher than 2.
