Liberty Maven

Ron Paul has an uncanny and effortless way of making neo-conservative Republicans’ heads explode. He merely tells the truth. The modern day Republicans are desperate for an answer to “The Obama Effect” but they dare not climb up Ron Paul’s liberty tree to get there. Instead they dream the impossible dream.

They dream that they can somehow keep one hand in the neo-con cookie jar while the other hand waves over the Constitution. When Dr. Ron Paul comes along and tells them its time to amputate the gangrene neo-conservatism they dart out of the office crying like babies. One would think they would get the hint with their string of losses the past few years. Their latest and ultimate loss came this week when Al “Dog-gone it! People like me!” Franken was declared the winner over Norm Coleman in the hotly contested Minnesota Senate race.

As difficult as that is to chew on for Republican leaders it still won’t be enough to get them to mend their ways. They are more worried about beating Democrats than doing what’s right for America.  Somewhere some red-blooded, meat-eating, Sarah Palin-in-drag true-believing Republican cymbal monkey is happy with this strategy. Those of us who believe in conservative roots and Old Right principles know how to restore the GOP to greatness. It starts with severing the neo-conservatism arm and embracing the liberty found in our Constitution. And by embracing I don’t mean fondling it under the table like many politicians do today. I mean embracing it with a proud momma bear hug.

Ron Paul knows this better than anyone yet he is still picked last for the team in GOP gym class. Paul is admired for his economics and ostracized for his foreign policy. Bad-mouthers always ask the question: How can Ron Paul be so right on economics yet so wrong on foreign policy?

The answer my friends (with apologies to John McCain)  is that he isn’t wrong on foreign policy. He is just as right on foreign policy as he is on economics.

All we are saying is give peace a chance. Peace through free trade and commerce that is. Stop bombing and start doing business. We aren’t asking for much, just tell the truth, uphold your oath of office, and err on the side of freedom. That should be the goal, not winning the political party potato sack race.
