Why Ron Paul Loses Elections

Posted by Christian Prophet | 3/13/2012

"Our spirit is free and wants for us outer conditions of freedom (political liberty) so it can guide us to unimaginable prosperity and well-being."

That's the libertarian message that sells. That's the libertarian message that resonates deep inside of people. That's the libertarian message that wins elections.

But why would libertarians want to win elections?

Because those who win elections have the power to either reduce people's political liberty [which libertarians don't want] or increase people's political liberty [which libertarians do want]. Majority rule is only tyranny of the majority if the majority votes to reduce freedom. If a majority votes to increase freedom ... that's not tyranny. If a majority voted for Ron Paul, tyranny wouldn't gain ground ... liberty would gain.

But why are libertarians always losing elections? It can't be because people want more tyranny. The vast majority of people are at least somewhat in touch with their spirit, which wants for them political liberty. The urge for political liberty is universal and ever rising to the surface.

Sorry to say, libertarians do not take advantage of this natural urge in people. They do not spread a message that resonates with this urge. They do not tell people "your spirit is free and wants for you outer conditions of freedom so it can guide you to unimaginable prosperity and well-being."

Instead, libertarians go on and on arguing about foreign wars, military bases in foreign countries, and the need to legalize drugs. Never mind that such arguments are morally and logically correct. They are arguments which do not reach inside people and invite an experience of the fullness of their spirit. In short, such arguments stimulate the intellect, but do not inspire.

Those who fought in the American Revolutionary War were inspired. They would not have chosen to endure misery and suffering and even possibly death in order to assure that drugs would always be legal or that Americans would never have a military presence in a foreign land. But they did chose a path of suffering, a path of misery, a path of possible death because they felt as deeply as anyone feels that their spirit was free and their spirit wanted for them political liberty.

Like the original American revolutionaries, libertarians do feel their spirit ... else they wouldn't be libertarians. They only need to abandon arguments which don't really resonate with the vast majority of people and start saying loud and clear and often the truth that American revolutionaries held in their constant awareness:

"Our spirit is free and wants for us
outer conditions of freedom so it can guide us
 to unimaginable prosperity and well-being."

Strong National Defense Libertarians?

Posted by Christian Prophet | 2/14/2012

Anyone reading the novel Full Black by New York Times #1 bestselling novelist Brad Thor might be tempted to say, "This author is a libertarian!"

Early in the novel a documentary film producer describes what his investigation has turned up:

"What we discovered was that beginning in the 1940s, radical elements inside the United States had recognized that there were these huge piles of money just sitting inside multiple large foundations and endowments all across the country. These big government collectivists, globalists, socialists and communists realized that if they could get into positions of power, say on the boards of directors at the foundations or the endowments, they could steer the money any way they wanted. And that is exactly what they did."

In Full Black the super rich fascist Utopian globalist whose agenda is to bring America to it's knees so a new world order can arise from the ashes is not named George Soros, but James Standing.

"On top of indoctrinating kids, Standing wanted to get as many people dependent upon the government as possible. Government handouts, even for corporations, are like heroin. Most people, once they're hooked, remain hooked and don't even realize it. They rationalize that they are entitled to the handouts.

"History also shows us that once a democracy goes down this road.... Each and every single time, the democracy collapses. It always happens. Democracy is always followed by dictatorship. And guess what the dictator promises?"

In one setting, this globalist socialist mega-billionaire is attempting to hoodwink a young female reporter who he wants to use for his purposes. She refuses to be tricked. She questions every one of his assertions (fascinating pages in the novel). Here is a short portion:

James Standing: "You have given me the usual shallow, shopworn defense of capitalism, but you haven't given me one concrete reason why my ideas are so unreasonable."

Reporter: "One concrete reason? I can actually give you four. First it is morally wrong to take anything that doesn't belong to you and having the state do the taking doesn't magically make it okay or right. Second, socialism has been tried repeatedly and has never worked, anywhere. Yet each new crop of elites think they can enact socialism and this time it will be different. They stick the socialist fork back in the electrical outlet expecting a totally different outcome, but it always ends up the same.

"Third, when people become reliant on the state, that reliance erodes their self-respect, their sense of self-worth, their work ethic, and their independence. Finally, socialism promotes class envy and class warfare. The makers resent the takers for draining their resources and the takers resent the makers because no matter how much the takers take, they always want more."


So the author, Brad Thor, is a libertarian, or a supporter of Ron Paul ... true or false?

Unfortunately, false.

Thor announces:“I am excited to add my endorsement to the growing list of prominent supporters who understand that Rick Santorum is the right man, at the right time to lead our nation.”

"Rick Santorum?" libertarians cry out stupefied. "Why?"

Thor explains, “There is one presidential candidate who understands and can swiftly address the threats facing our nation – and that candidate is Rick Santorum.”

A logical person might have expected Brad Thor to endorse Ron Paul. But as is too often the case, libertarians are viewed, whether correctly or incorrectly, as not understanding the foreign threats America faces. Libertarians have simply not convinced Americans that they too would take quick and decisive action to protect America.

If libertarians hope to someday constitute a majority in American politics, they are going to have to rectify their image of "head in the sand on foreign policy" and convince people like Brad Thor that they are indeed awake to foreign threats and indeed interested in defending America. They are going to have to become strong national defense libertarians.

Ron Paul Libertarians Transforming GOP

Posted by Christian Prophet | 1/16/2012


The Libertarian Party could well be considering folding and dropping out of the game. Why? Because the Republican Party is being transformed by Ron Paul's rEVOLutionaries and will carry the banner of liberty for a long time to come.

"But Ron Paul is pretty old. This is his last run."

No matter. The future belongs to Republicans like Rand Paul and Justin Amash. And to other champions of liberty who are willing to run as Republicans. And that's a future that favors you.

Heading into the South Carolina GOP Primary there have been 20 televised debates and untold national news stories in which Ron Paul has had an opportunity to voice libertarian ideas ... more exposure of libertarian ideas in 6 months than the Libertarian Party was able to achieve in 40 years.

In state after state, Ron Paul has been polling on average about 20% of Republican voters with an every day unstoppable mushrooming of exposure, enthusiasm ... and acceptance. If an Obama dictatorship and the plunging of America into bankruptcy and poverty can be prevented in this election cycle by Mitt Romney, then libertarian influence within the Republican Party might easily be 50% or higher by the next election cycle.

"Romney is no libertarian."

True, but neither is Romney a dictator like Obama. And Romney's solutions will be very different from his past if he doesn't have to deal with an 85% Democratic legislature like he struggled with as Chief Executive of Massachusetts. Because of pressure from Tea Party Republicans and the activists in Ron Paul's movement, Romney would be very restrained, certainly reducing government spending and debt over time, and quickly eliminating Obama's insane regulations which strangle business and lead America into poverty.

Libertarians can handle Romney while they continue to strengthen and grow their clout within the Republican Party. Surely you've noticed the death spasms of the wishy-washy GOP of "go along to get along" and the Neoconservativism of George W. Bush's allies. Ron Paul has changed the Republican Party forever, and the libertarian momentum cannot be stopped.

"But the Libertarian Party is 99.9% pure."

Yes, just like the Communist Party pushes for pure communism. But communists have advanced their agenda far more completely using the Democratic Party than they could ever have hoped to with the Communist Party. When ego-vested stubbornness hides behind the label "purity" the result is self-defeat.

It is said that history is written by the winners. A hundred years from now the Libertarian Party might be mentioned in history books with a sentence or two, or a small paragraph. But the transformation of the Republican Party and the success of libertarians within the Republican Party will be the subject matter of entire volumes. By running twice for President as a Republican, Ron Paul has proven to be a winner.

Thank you, Ron Paul!

Ron Paul's Victory on the Night of January 3rd

Posted by Christian Prophet | 12/13/2011

'Tis the season to be jolly ... libertarians!

It now appears Ron Paul will place first in the Iowa Caucuses held on the night of January 3rd.

Newt Gingrich will place second. Mitt Romney will place third. Rick Perry will place fourth.

Ron Paul's Iowa victory doesn't provide many delegates to the Republican National Convention, but it does have enormous impact on the American national dialogue.

On the one hand, the movement behind Ron Paul appears somewhat old-line conservative, but on the other hand it contains revolutionary elements. The American War of Independence and establishment of the United States was a wonderful advance in mankind's evolution toward non-coercive political infrastructure. But obviously the American experiment did not finish the job. Mankind still has a way to go to establish full political liberty once and for all time.

The American Founders, for all their genius, were nonetheless limited to the perceptions of their day. Like scientists who cannot yet see an entire picture, their reasoning was boxed in by what they could see at the time. The activists behind Ron Paul have in some very important respects "jumped out of the box." Their understanding of the moral basis of political liberty and the spiritual basis of political liberty has the advantage of over 250 additional years of human progress since the American founding.

Barack Obama recently gave a speech in which he tried to convince someone that Teddy Roosevelt's policies of a hundred years ago were right for today (and by implication he himself is the spiritual reincarnation of Teddy Roosevelt). Ron Paul supporters don't play such games. Instead, they look to logic and common sense and perception which is not blinded by preconceived ideas. Whereas Obama imagines himself a "progressive," Ron Paul's supporters are on the cutting edge of human progress.

So a Ron Paul victory means a far broader public discussion of liberty ideas and much deeper public awareness of human beings' deep spiritual craving for political liberty. Some might imagine such a discussion and awareness could have been experienced 40 or 50 years ago if libertarians had been willing to focus on winning elections. But, as the Bible points out, there is a season for everything.

Anyway, with Ron Paul's victory, it appears that the season for libertarian ideas is finally in full bloom. The movement has been called the Ron Paul Revolution, but it actually is the inevitable advancement of human political evolution.

Iowans apparently pay attention to changing seasons. Thank you, Iowa!

Libertarian Solution: Rent-a-Government

Posted by Christian Prophet | 11/13/2011

Victor Hugo once famously wrote you cannot resist an idea whose time has come. Obviously liberal-progressives (properly labeled "fascist socialists") resist libertarian ideas even beyond paranoia, as if the world would utterly burn up in flames if men and women were free to determine their own lives.

Yet the impulse to liberty is ever-present in men and women, and is powerfully promoted by the natural energies of the universe. Therefore, the last 150 years of Marxist thought has been answered in the last 50 years or so by libertarian ideas gaining ever more wide-spread prominence.

So what is the next idea whose time has come? It can't be political success in any current system because current systems depend on a desire to triumph over others, and the desire to triumph over others is antithetical to the libertarian impulse.

The next progress for libertarians may come from a new concept called "Rent-a-Government."

Socialism has run it's course. Governments everywhere ... federal governments, state governments, county governments, city governments ... are bankrupt financially (sometimes not even able to pay their bills or their employees) and leading their constituents into conditions of poverty and misery. People who feel creative impulses and want to produce prosperity for themselves and their neighbors cannot gain traction under today's systems. What alternatives do creative people have? They can stay and "go down with the ship," they can leave and "seek greener pastures," or....

They can pass the hat, ask for donations, and call for rescue.

"Who you gonna call?"

No, not Ghostbusters.

"Who you gonna call?"

"Rent-a-Government!"

Rent-a-Government is a community service organization funded by voluntary donations which provides the very most basic essential services which people want from governments ... security from local bad guys, defense against invasion from other areas, adjudication of disputes, facilitation of compensatory justice.

When your automobile is crashed maybe beyond repair, you call Rent-a-Car.  When your system of government is broken seemingly beyond fixes, you call Rent-a-Government. No politicians. No voting wars. No legislatures. No lobbyists. No greedy unions. No corruption. No hassle. Rent-a-government provides only services that are necessary and only what people can afford through voluntary donations.

Especially for smaller towns and counties which are hopelessly bankrupt, Rent-a-Government organizations are life savers in more ways than one because by using Rent-a-Government there is no taxation and no local regulations of a proactive nature.  Thus businesses are allowed to grow and prosper.  Inventors, discoverers of new processes, and entrepreneurs are attracted to the area by the promise of freedom and profit.  Increased productive activity brings renewed prosperity to everyone in the area.  Everybody breathes a sigh of relief and becomes much happier than they were under the old system.

"Who you gonna call?"

"Rent-a-Government!"
