Why Ron Paul

November 24th, 2007 8:37 pm · 3 comments

This is worth linking to on the basis of the author’s characterization of the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate - the entire legislature, really - as “Hillary’s temple of eunuchs.”

But there’s a lot more here, and I think he really gets at why Ron Paul has gained such popularity:

Granted that the majority of moron America stays glued to their beloved televisions dooling over lemming food and addicted to the accompanying mental masturbation but there really are millions out there working the net, reading and rebelling. They are also coming to the conclusion that the Democrats are thoroughly corrupt, to the extent where ‘debates’ are rigged in favor of the oligarchy’s queen in waiting who will only continue the policies of Bush, a change agent who pushed it to the wall and now a more moderate face is brought in to drive the war machine but the ultimate goal remains the same - keep the wars going, implement the police state and protect the ruling elite. The Clintons know all too well how the game works. …

<snip>

In a nutshell the complete failure of the American political system is what fuels the Ron Paul machine and it transcends traditional definitions of who can and should be allowed to be allies. … I find that the truly exciting thing about Ron Paul’s popularity is that we are now witnessing a nascent movement that actually has the potential to grow into a political force to be reckoned with.

Any one of the 4 books suggested would be enough cause for concearn to any thinking person. At the very least this one Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism

QUOTE
Paul's brilliant response to the huffing and puffing indignant shithead Rudolph Giuliani during the FOX dog and pony show 'debate' in South Carolina when he dared to suggest that 9/11 was a result of our misguided foreign policy and the resultant blowback stood out for his sheer audacity to not just be one of the gaggle of rich white guys invoking Jack Bauer and trying to out Nazi each other. Paul stood his ground and when the show was over calmly offered up a reading list for the American Il Duce and 9/11 fear pimp. It was classic and stunning if only for the simple reason that none of the other corporate products being groomed for the top slot would dare to utter anything so close to the truth. This was the exact moment that Ron Paul went from obscurity to a factor and it was all due to him standing up like a pre 9/11 American and speaking the truth to power.

Any one of the four, eh?

1) 9/11 Commission Report

2)Blowback / The cost and consequence of American Empire by Chalmers Johnson

3)Imperial Hubris / Why the West is losing the war on terror by "Anonymous"



Real scary stuff there. With the exception of no.1 on my list, I believe the authors were aiming at thinking minds for an audience. Maybe Dr. Paul overestimated RG. He's more of an order follower, than a thinker.
