In his interview of the honorable Pat Buchanan, Glenn Beck asserts that Ron Paul is the “closest to the founding fathers.” So, are Ron Paul supporters, who Beck equates with terrorists also supporters of the Founding Fathers? If so, are the Founding Fathers terrorists?
CNN YOUTUBE debate and Ron Paul’s performance…
Tonight’s debate was a despicable display of socialism and warmongering. Mike Huckabee wants to use our tax money to subsidize every project under the sun and Mars. Even Romney was shocked. He looked at Huckabee and said: “That is not your money to spend.” When asked about how long he would pledge to stay in Iraq, Thompson advocated staying in Iraq “as long as it takes to complete our mission.” This mission, of course, has been re-defined many times.
Ron Paul’s surge in the polls has given him a little more spotlight in debates. Paul spoke 4 times. McCain and Thompson also spoke 4 times; Romney and Giuliani spoke 9 times. In fact, the debate began with a discussion between Romney and Giuliani over illegal immigration. Each candidate accused one another of providing sanctuary cities. The discussion became so fruitless that even the audience began to despise the interaction.
On the other hand, Paul’s performance was clear and concise. It is always surprising to hear his cogent responses in the short time alloted to him. His knowledge of history and unwavering commitment to freedom and the Constitution places him on far higher level than all the other candidates (Tancredo is an exception to this criticism; though largely interventionist in his philosophy). In order to prove Ron Paul’s surge in the polls, McCain lashed out at him concerning Paul’s ardent opposition to the war. McCain accused Paul of being an isolationist. Paul corrected the ridiculous assertion from McCain and re-asserted the Founding Father’s commitment to trading with nations, but not seeking monsters over sea.
Paul’s most eloquent moment was when he corrected a candidate’s statement that Republicans go to Washington to change things, but end up being changed by Washington. Paul retorted that Washington never changed him: “I don’t think that applies to me… I never voted to raise taxes,” said Paul.
Once again, a large number of people have seen the unapologetic stance of a true patriot. The words of our future first lady describes this patriot:
So the American Dream came true for a boy who delivered newspapers, a teen-ager who mowed lawns, delivered milk, delivered furniture, delivered laundry, and delivered mail, and for a man who then delivered babies. Now that dream continues with a man who is trying to deliver the message that freedom works and that patriotism must not grow weak in the hearts of all Americans. And liberty reigns to help us hang on to our Republic for which the Founders gave their last measure of devotion.
Ron Paul’s Winning Ad
Ron Paul on Abortion…(2)
In 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman. In Congress, I have authored legislation that seeks to define life as beginning at conception, H.R. 1094. I am also the prime sponsor of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. This is a practical, direct approach to ending federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn. I have also authored H.R. 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used for so-called “population control.” Many talk about being pro-life. I have taken and will continue to advocate direct action to restore protection for the unborn.–Ron Paul
(Another Ron Paul quote on abortion)
Ron Paul is George Will’s man…
From Casselberry, with love: A Letter to Glenn Beck
Dear Glenn,
I write this short letter from Casselberry, Fl. Casselberry is fairly insignificant in light of the magnitude of this great Republic, nevertheless, I hope you will take my words seriously.
Some days ago, you did something that I consider perverse. In front of millions of Americans, you equated terrorists with Ron Paul supporters. I assume that by now you have realized how bad of an idea that was and I further assume that at a later date you shall retract your absurd comments and embrace decency and respect. Ron Paul is one of the few politicians left in this country that still believes in the Constitution and still fights for our civil liberties as Judge Andrew Napolitano testifies. Yet, you had the audacity to call us a “domestic threat” and you even classified some as part of the “fringe elements,” whatever that means. Beyond all this, you mystified the rational thinker by bringing to the show a former Marxist and a young British journalist, thus adding fuel to your bizarre conspiracies about Ron Paul supporters. I will let the words of another angry citizen summarize my present sentiments:
We are forced to digest the bizarre and abhorrent spectacle of a British elitist, “former” Marxist Horowitz and anti-American Neo-Con Glenn Beck infer that 1776, the founding fathers and the very birth of freedom in America is somehow evil and affiliated with terrorism and extremism.
I must say Glenn, that after hearing your immoral attempts to de-moralize an honest man and his loyal supporters, you have lost my respect. I am still hopeful that your integrity will humble you enough to make a public apology on your radio show and TV show. Until then, you will no longer enter my airwaves nor will you have any more opportunities to influence my thinking on any subject.
From Casselberry with love,
Uri Brito
Rolling Stone Interview..
From today’s Rolling Stone interview with Dr. Paul:
Tim Dickinson: Giuliani seems to be the warmonger in chief — leading the drumbeat for war with Iran. What would a Giuliani presidency mean for our national security?
Dr. Paul: If someone is unhappy with the Bush policy, they would find Giuliani’s would be even more extreme. But since Giuliani is so anxious to go to war, somebody ought to ask him why he didn’t go when he was called up instead of ducking it like some of those other chicken hawks — he took, what, four deferrals? The kids today are expected to go because Giuliani likes this stuff. But whether it’s Cheney or Giuliani, these guys think it’s quite proper to go to war when they feel like it. But they never had to expose themselves.
Rasmussen Reports and Bravo for Ron Paul…
Ron Paul’s message to Musharaff
Shepherd Smith from Fox News interviewed Ron Paul on this clip. Among many things, he asked Paul what would his message be to President Musharaff concerning terrorists’ possibly obtaining Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. Paul never replies without first giving us a history of American intervention in Middle Eastern politics. The US has aided Pakistan with over 10 billion dollars. Paul’s answer was classic: “No more money pal we’ve given you 10 billion and your flunking the course.” “Musharaff is a puppet of ours,” says Paul. This is why the people are trying to overtake that government. They do not want to know that one of their own is supporting the pro-Israel agenda of the United States. This is the theory of blowback. When you try to impose democracy and overthrow dictators, you receive the fury of the Middle East. Paul once again re-asserts the conspicuous fact uttered by the Founders: Stay away from foreign entanglements.
Ron Paul Donation shocks media…
As of 10:47PM, Ron Paul has raised over $3.6 million dollars surpassing the $3.1 million from Mitt Romney. This is what the AP reported concerning this donation explosion, which has just appeared on Drudgereport.com:
The AP weighs in:
Paul’s total deposed Mitt Romney as the single-day fundraising record holder in the Republican presidential field. When it comes to sums amassed in one day, Paul now ranks only behind Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton, who raised nearly $6.2 million on June 30, and Barack Obama.Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said the effort began independently about two months ago at the hands of Paul’s backers. He said Paul picked up on the movement, mentioning in it speeches and interviews.
“It’s been kind of building up virally,” Benton said.
The $3.5 million, he said, represented online contributions from more than 22,000 donors.
Tomorrow, there will be more reporting of this historical event. This is what has been printed thus far:
Wolf Blitzer/CNN: Ron Paul Raises Millions!
ABC News: Ron Paul is Money
New York Times: Guy Fawkes Day Helps Raise Millions for Paul
Associated Press: Paul Raises More Than $3.5 Million
Drudge Report front page: Ron Paul Raises More Than $3.5M in One Day…
Breitbart: Ron Paul Raises More Than $3.5M in One Day
Remember, Remember the 5th of November…
I have seen V for Vendetta a few times. Any message that opposes the status governmental quo is worth listening. One of the central emphases of the Guy Fawkes’ day is an opposition to any form of totalitarianism, though the means pursued to accomplish this purpose is immoral and ultimately contrary to the message of liberty. As Catholics for Ron Paul reminded me:
Yes Ron Paul is a hero that is going against the state to seek freedom and repair a structural injustice within our system. But the film V for Vendetta is an openly anti-Catholic film that bizarrely glorifies a Catholic anti-establishment figure from history who sought to liberate Catholics from an anti-Catholic tyrannical regime, and puts him in a film which is overtly anti-Catholic and anti-Christian. How does this fit with Ron Paul and his message?
This is not the message I want to convey to anyone and, as CFRP concludes, this message is inconsistent with Ron Paul’s message of religious freedom. Further, Ron Paul would never embrace a message that opposes the Christian faith. Though the symbolism behind the date is probably not the most desirable for a Ron Paul donation explosion, nevertheless it will suit our purposes in this great day in campaigning history.
As of 7:44AM, we have raised over $614,000. The day has just begun.
Update: 9:20AM – $906,000
Update: 11:30AM – $1.2 Million
