The frenzy of war and terror is clearly nothing more than the power elite's end-run attempts to slam-dunk our constitutional republic and turn it into an empire run by some kind of dictator handed the "emergency powers" on a silver platter.
Frankly, my assessment of world history tells me that citizens of any nation are not our enemy. This includes Afgani, Iraqui, Russian, Chinese, etc. What we have is a small number of power brokers playing all sides against one another to stir up chaos so that in the end they push every nation into a system of centralized power to all the more easily assimilate the world's citizens into a globalist totalitarian hell on earth.
There are a lot of people waking up to the idea that a very weak centralized government and very strong local governments all participating in a very free-market economy with no subsidies and so fourth creates a form of government that the people have more individual rights and liberties (thus prosperity), no nation is threatened by us in terms of being coersed or invaded (thus the highest possible real national security), and people are responsible for their own actions.
What we have now in this country is a lot of problems, threats, divisions, etc. being fomented among and against us to weaken, divide and conquer us. There are a lot of threats and problems being laid at our doorsteps to trick us into sacrificing our freedoms for the sake of them. We must have eyes to see past the surface. There is only ONE candidate true to real freedom on the stage.
Rudy comes across on the surface looking like a really "tough guy" but in reality the policy he promotes is more akin to the policy of a bully. I think anyone who really understands the psychology of a bully knows they are basically just cowards looking to compensate for their own weakness with a pretense of the opposite. These people are known to be easily manipulated and all to often make drastic mistakes they sorely regret. There is only safety in holding true to correct principles and Rudy offers little hope of that. Especially when you see him groping for applause points and grandstanding.
I measure a man's strength based on how much he is willing to stand up for the principles of freedom no matter how scary things may appear and for certain there is absolutely no competition for Ron Paul in this category.
Why do we speak so highly of the great courage and dedication to the principles of freedom that our founding fathers had and at the same time label the only man walking in their footsteps as "fringe"? If this is true, our freedoms will be done for in not too many years!
Islamists are not the terrorists! They are just a convenient mass of people easily radicalized and used as a tool. That's what we did with them against the Russians. For crying out loud, we trained Osama Been Lunchin to fight against them. So, should it come as any surprise they are just being used as tools now?
Just recently we have Putin making some very bold and chilling remarks about what he perceives as a threat due to our offensive and pre-emptive posturing. I'm here to tell you, we will be playing into the hands of those who want another massive world war if we go down this road of aggressivism.
I'm a 36 year old married man with 6 children and I work in the state capitol of Arizona. I'm not some weird cook. I care about the future of my 6 children and look for those candidates who honor the principles that best assure freedom in the future. Call us cowards and fringe but history will vindicate us because history vindicates the principles.
For the sake of the Union, Ron Paul for President!
