Ron Paul or Mitt Romney?



Ron Paul and Mitt Romney during the Ames Straw Poll were both impressive enough to ask two questions: 1) which one of them is capable of being elected over Hillary Clinton; and 2) which one of them is most likely to further the libertarian cause?

Obviously neither one of these questions can be answered intellectually because as pointed out clearly in the article The Spiritual Basis of Liberty our thoughts are based on limited information and limited perception. In order to make a correct judgment as to what is truly good, we would have to be 100% completely aware of an inconceivably wide range of factors; past, present, and future. We would have to have certain advance knowledge of all the effects of our judgment on everyone and everything. We would have to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that we didn't have the slightest slanted angle of perception.

Who could possibly have this magnitude of information? Who except in the height of fantasy could imagine themselves to have such a totally all-seeing and all-knowing viewpoint? How many times have you been so thoroughly sure you knew the facts upon which to base correct judgment, only to find out later how wrong you were?

The good news is libertarians are uniquely in-touch with their spirit, which is free ... and demands freedom. So they need only quiet their intellect and ask their spirit which is the best candidate.

Setting aside all preconceived intellectual conclusions, prejudgements, wishes and hopes; starting with a totally blank mind; libertarians need only ask inside:

Ron Paul has what it takes to go on and win the Presidency over Hillary Clinton ... true or false?

Mitt Romney has what it takes to go on and win the Presidency over Hillary Clinton ... true or false?

Of course if your mind wasn't cleared and open before you asked, then you heard only what you wanted to hear. But one thing for sure: your spirit knows who would be the best President for Americans at this time.

The libertarian preparation device, A Course in Miracles, speaks of releasing preconceived judgments:

Perception follows judgement. Having judged, you therefore see what you would look upon. For sight can merely serve to offer you what you would have. It is impossible to overlook what you would see, and fail to see what you have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real world come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy Spirit’s purpose as his goal for seeing. And he cannot fail to look upon what Christ would have him see, and share Christ’s love for what he looks upon.

Use this affirmation, and see what happens: “I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgements I have made. Father, this is Your Will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well.”

Ron Paul is Wrong; Mitt Romney is Right!

"Ron Paul does not believe we went into Iraq because of 9/11. But Mitt Romney obviously believes we did. So who’s right?" ~Gary Benoit The strained arguments of some libertarians that Dwight Eisenhower is somehow responsible for the 9/11 attack in New York is equivalent to arguing that President James Buchanan was responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre of the Baker-Fancher emigrant party on 9/11 in Utah. It is truth in the sense we are all responsible for everything in our world. This is a very valuable truth, wouldn't you say? The twisted leftist argument is that Islamic Jihadists would not have declared war on Western societies if it hadn't been for Western government policies reaching back through the years. But anyone who studies the Koran knows this argument is bullshit. The Koran demands that war be waged on "infidels" until everyone on earth is either converted to Islam, enslaved by Islamists, or killed. Mitt Romney is right. The United States...

Is Sarah Palin's Joy Ayn Rand's Ideal?

Lesson 50: "I join Ayn Rand, educating spiritually." Government worshippers are in control of most universities, virtually every public school system, and almost every major media market. The general public has been thoroughly brainwashed to believe that if there is a problem, or the illusion of a problem, government solutions are the answer ... a new government program, a new government bureaucracy, more power to government. Because almost all avenues of education and information have been under the control of government worshippers, the vast majority of people are stuck in thinking habits which will never for long periods of time serve liberty. Because people's underlying thinking habits will rise to the surface again and again, any libertarian political victory can only be short-lived ... unless people's underlying way of thinking is changed. As much as I might hate to admit it, thorough re-education of the public cannot not be a number one priority for libertaria...

Lifting Others Up To The Libertarian Way

Probably everyone has experienced moments of the fullness of life: the enthralling love that radiates from our heart when it seems we have met our destined soulmate, the joy that explodes out of our being when at the very last split second our team scores the improbable win of the century, the peace that flows from the depths of our soul when the sunrise suddenly bathes our mountain fishing lake and all seems momentarily "on earth as it is in heaven." The fullness of life is within us, but doesn't too often emanate from most of us because our minds employ many devices for closing down our being. Yet there is a Way which leads us to constant heart and soul opening and nearly uninterrupted experience of the fullness of life. In common street language this Way is often called "live and let live." Although this encompasses all areas of life, when practiced in the context of people's political interactions it is called The Libertarian Way . Notice that when...
