Ron Paul for President

Lew Rockwell notes that while the media had 4,800 articles about the Iowa straw poll which Romney bought his way to victory, there have been only 162 combined reports on all 5 polls in which Ron Paul won, only Fred Thompson has won more.
Taking things into more perspective, Ron Paul has placed in the top 3 in 16 polls, matched by Romney and nearly matched by Thompson. The media's darling Giuliani has placed in the top 3 a total of 5 times, never in first himself, but 5 total times which Ron Paul placed first. Expect the media to ignore this trend since if Giuliani doesn't get the nomination, they will push Romney or Thompson down our throat.
I'll laugh when Ron Paul places very strongly at an actual primary, and the media will be at a loss to explain to the people how somebody they have been trying to make American's forget about could do so well.

Here is the video of Ron Paul interviewed by George Stephanopolous, Paul's first real exposure on mainstream media, and with him topping McCain in fund raising, it may be just the start. I think the personal liberty message, the anti-war, non-intervention policy, and small government message is resonating with more and more people as they learn about him.

American Chronicle had, until they pulled it for violating it's editorial policy, an op-ed that attacked Ron Paul and his supporters, who he said were "incorrigible haters of America and . . . congenital bangers of whatever America represents."
I was under the impression that us Ron Paul supporters were among the people who most love what America and it's constitution represent... being the only candidate who believe in the Constitution having something to do with that. On the very highly recommended show, Penn & Teller Bullshit, they covered what the op-ed author may have been talking about in their Mt Rushmore episode. In it they talk how people make it seem that if you don't support everything our government does, then you are not patriotic, and hate America and whatever it represents. This must be the thinking of the author since there could be no other explanation. However, it is exactly this kind of thinking, questioning the government that our founding fathers would consider the most patriotic to what they intended this country to be by this point in time in our history (and even then). Blindly following everything the government says, believing everything they say, and agreeing with everything it does isn't patriotism, it's being a dunce. What if Gore had gotten in way back when and gas was now over $12 a gallon do to the taxes he was promising to put on it (I can't even imagine the price of an airplane ticket if normal auto gas was that much, and plane fuel that much more)? The effect, due to not being able to drive, millions loose their job and end up on government programs, though some of those may be able to get a bus to where they need to go, many live outside where buses go and they have to stay on it. Kerry comes along next and he follows his promise to pay women to abort their children, and then give billions to the drug companies (who today make twice what oil companies do... oddly nobody complains and wants to through more money at them while punishing oil companies... I don't get it, but then I am not on the left) along with these aborted children so they can do research they could afford to do themselves and still be more profitable than most other companies. Would the writer of the op-ed piece say that those of us who don't support those moves are unpatriotic? If his logic is that most Ron Paul supporters are unpatriotic because they don't support the war in Iraq, many don't support the Federal Reserve or IRS (at least when it comes to the personal income tax, which could be gotten rid of without getting rid of any government services... so long as you got rid of the Federal Reserve first), some support ending the war on drugs and the like. Since that describes a noticeable percentage of Ron Paul supporters (some, if not most may not support all those issues, but between all his issues they still feel he is the best choice of the two parties), the op-ed author seems to feel they are unpatriotic. Yet, I am sure if the above scenario was true, where Gore and Kerry won, he would be talking about how bad some parts of the government was himself, making him by his own thought process, unpatriotic, yet he would then claim that it would be unpatriotic not to be heard.
A little clip from that episode, which I felt was one of their better ones. Watch it until the end, you may think you see how the trick they do is done, and want to stop, but it is their words... well Penn's words since Teller doesn't speak, that is important, plus the trick ends up being really cool.

I just briefly mentioned inflation the other day in my Rethinking Ethanol post, and today I saw an article titled Confiscation Through Inflation, which I highly recommend everyone read...heck require everyone to read.
Here is a related clip from Aaron Russo's From Freedom to Fascism (which despite it's title relates more to the Federal Reserve and the IRS, both of which Ron Paul wants to get rid of...and a reminder, not one government service would be interrupted if you got rid of the individual income tax, watch the full movie to learn more).

America is being robbed blind by not only a corrupt Presidential Administration that feels it is above the law, including it's own Presidential Orders, but by the Federal Reserve and the world banks that are the true forces behind everything. It may sound like paranoia, but the more real research you do, the deeper you see the rabbit hole really is.
Unrelated, but another must watch video to go along with the must watch movie above is Terrorstorm - A History of Government Sponsored Terrorism.

Head over to the Daily Paul and read Manipulating America's Choice for President, a reprint of an article from the June 22 , 2007 edition Joel Skousen's World Affairs Brief.
I have to say, as an aside, I really like Ron Paul's new official site. This redesign looks high profile.
Meanwhile, Ron Paul will be on G4's Attack of the Show on the 26th.

Ron Paul, America's only hope for peace, prosperity and individual liberty, was on the Colbert Report the other day. Here it is:

The YouTube version is gone...

"The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people."
~Ron Paul

A good video from Ron Paul Junkie, Rachel Mills (that's to her MySpace page).

Come on America! We can make it happen, we can steal the power from the elite and give it back to the people. Get the word of Ron Paul out.

The leader of the Michigan GOP, and big supporter of Giuliani, is calling to ban Ron Paul from any other debates, saying that in regards to the terrorist attacks Paul "was articulating the policies of the Democrats more than those of any Republicans." Odd how Giuliani's big government, pro-abortion stance is Republican in his eyes. It is people like Bush, Giuliani, Saul (the MI GOP leader) and others that have forced the Conservative Exodus Project, which represents the old, true Republicans who want small government to abandon the Republican Party, and they are not alone in the mass exodus from the GOP over the way they have gone of late. They are nearly as bad as Democrats now.
Fox News ran a report talking about the 9/11 Truth Movement and how it is a far left Democrat thing. This may be so, if you ignore all the facts such as that most of the websites I have seen and documentaries I have seen are by people who support small government, less spending and more personal freedom, traditionally Republican ideals, and as far from Democrat ideals as you can get. Anyhow, they somehow tried to tie Ron Paul to the 9/11 Truth Movement, which none of his comments were about. His comments were simply that America's occupation of Muslim Holly Lands had more to do with the attacks on 9/11 than anything else... Heck, I can't see how any of his comments could be remotely connected to the 9/11 Truth Movement. That's a stretch, even for a network that was until recently one of Giuliani's clients, and a big Giuliani supporter and supporter of large intrusive government. Fox's report was way off base and designed to brainwash their mass of people that Ron Paul isn't the only true Republican running. What they want to push is a Democrat that calls himself a Republican, be it Giuliani or one of the other front runners, none of whom represent what it once meant to be Republican, and not the Republican's we have seen since Bush Sr. was was in office.
I feel like Mercutio, calling for a plague on both the Democrat and Republican houses, the mass media, and all the other junk that is messing this nation up. I pray to God that people wake up and come to their senses.
