All is Forgiven, Please Come Home

The neocons of American politics have pulled out all the stops in order to make sure that Representative Ron Paul does not win the nomination to become the Republican nominee for president in 2012.

They tolerated him as long as he was low in the polls, winking and nudging one another, and often giving him credit in the debates about his wisdom on economics and domestic policies.

Now that he’s a threat to start winning primaries, is it not fascinating how all the socialist candidates are running against Ron Paul instead of Obama, the Socialist Welfare incumbent.

This is all because Ron Paul is the ONLY consistent Republican voice for a constitutional solution to governing this country, both on the domestic and the foreign policy level.

The War-Hawks are denouncing Ron Paul for his “strange bed-fellows” on the far left who are anti-war (George Soros, Barney Frank, et al). And politics does, indeed make for some strange bedfellows. But the one consistent voice of Constitutional government, not wavering, is Ron Paul’s! Sometimes “the Left Wing” will join him, in their frenzy against “the Right Wing”. And sometimes it’s the other way around. It’s not because Ron Paul is shifting back and forth!

Ron Paul is a veteran. Ron Paul supports a strong national defense. But the Constitution – has anyone noticed this? – makes no provision for a standing army in times of peace, and allows only Congress to declare war. The constitutional solution is to send the army home, when a war is over, incorporating the troops into the national guard, who can then be mobilized upon a legitimate military threat.

Does it make Ron Paul anti-war to oppose illegal wars?

Does it make Ron Paul anti-military to favor the Constitution?

The Constitution calls for a strong Navy to defend this country. No one argues that we can extrapolate that to a strong Air Force to do the same, since the Founders did not anticipate flight. But a standing army, like it or not, is unconstitutional, unless we are at war.

There is an explanation, of course, and a legal fiction going on, to justify the maintenance of an unconstitutional standing army. We have technically been at war since 1941, the peace treaties having never been finalized and ratified, and just to make it “more legal” every January, when Congress votes to extend the state of National Emergency for another twelve months. Every single year, it’s the first order of business.

The two major socialist parties (Welfare and Warfare) are all over the map, like bumper cars, trying to ram one another and anyone who gets in their way to pursue illegal wars, to pursue deficit spending, to pursue unconstitutional solutions to our national problems. In all of this, Ron Paul stands consistent, on the solid rock of the Constitution!

And that’s why Ron Paul cannot will not be allowed to win the Republican nomination. If they cannot beat him at the polls, they will steal the election by fraudulent counts. If they cannot get away with that, then you may take it to the bank that Ron Paul will have a accident long before he occupies the White House.

The “powers that be” – the ruling elites – cannot risk what a Ron Paul might do. Why, he might actually succeed in re-establishing the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land!

Do you think the Republican Party can count on taking for granted that the true conservatives and the constitutionalists will vote for their socialist candidates like Romney/Gingrich/Santorum? They do, I don’t.

It behooves us then, as the party of constitutional reason, to prepare ourselves for the fall-out from the GOP (Group of Prostitutes), after Ron Paul is out of the race.

I predict a great “falling away” of those who have come to grasp the message of Ron Paul. Over the past five years, we’ve been badly hurt by two campaigns by Ron Paul – he has drawn our very best members into his campaign in the wrong party. (Ironically, they are going to be angry at us for not being better organized as an alternative!)

Our message now must be, “All is forgiven, please come home.” We need to lay the groundwork now to recruit disenchanted voters, to incorporate them into our party, to warmly welcome them to their new political home. If we do not succeed at this, then the future of our party is in serious jeopardy.

Third parties have come and gone. They serve a limited use, but to succeed and change the direction of a nation, they need to start winning races. We must grow, or we shall die.

In his prescience, Howard Phillips founded this party to capture what he saw as a coming “winter of discontent” among the voters and the taxpayers – the productive one-third of our nation.

Well, that “winter of discontent” is upon us, and we have been unable to sell ourselves to the discontented voter and taxpayer, thanks in large part to Ron Paul! Ron Paul’s ride is almost over. He’s galvanized the constitutional element of patriots like no one since Barry Goldwater or maybe Ronald Reagan, (neither of whom were as consistent as Ron Paul).

The question now is what we do with this opportunity.
