Ron Paul Can Beat "Queen of Feudalism" Clinton




"Free markets and industrialization have produced a previously unimagined wealth, which is enjoyed not only by captains of industry but by the common man, who is able to afford luxuries--large homes, automobiles, air travel, everything down to his caffe latte at the corner book store--on a scale that could not even have been conceived in earlier centuries. Capitalism has also afforded the individual a degree of personal independence and unlimited opportunity that has fully liberated men from the stultifying tyranny of previous aristocratic and feudal systems."

Previous aristocratic and feudal systems?

How many Presidential candidates in your lifetime have not been educated at either Harvard or Yale? But America is not an aristocratic system, right? After the aristocrats taking from you income taxes, sales taxes, luxury taxes, personal property taxes, capital gains taxes, death taxes and a hundred and one other taxes; not to mention talk of military draft and other forms of "servitude," you don't feel like you live in a feudal system, do you?

The truth is capitalism has not yet been tried. With the revolution of 1776, Americans "put their toes in the water," so to speak, "tested the waters" a bit, saw an explosion of inventiveness and productivity which they couldn't handle, and pulled back out of the water. It wasn't too long before the American government became the new feudal and aristocratic system, disguised and sold as "representative government."

But your spirit is free. (see The Spiritual Basis of Liberty) So maybe the time is right for a new revolution, a truly capitalist revolution that finally leaves behind for all time the slavery of taxation and conscription. The Republican Party pretend it doesn't hear Ron Paul.

Will the current "Ron Paul Revolution" become the full-fledged capitalist revolution that finally offers true freedom and true salvation? We can pray. Miracles do happen. Yet "conventional wisdom" tells us Ron Paul's ideas might possibly be denied the Republican nomination ... this time around. If this should happen a second-best candidate, Mitt Romney, who has said he will veto half the bills sent to him and change the direction of government, could be a step in the capitalist direction.

Whether Ron Paul wins this time around or not, he will have to influence his followers to stay in the Republican Party and remold the Republican Party into a non-aristocratic, non-feudal party, wouldn't you say? If Ron Paul were to lose the Republican nomination and go off and fruitlessly spin wheels in a 3rd party, then Hillary Clinton, Queen of Feudalism, would gleefully rub her hands together, easily con Americans with her false argument that security requires giving up liberty (see Liberty vs. Security: False Dichotomy) and set in motion a dark ages system almost impossible to escape.

Then capitalism will really be an unknown ideal.

The device which prepares libertarians for success, A Course in Miracles, has this to say about your part in accepting slavery:

We have observed before how many senseless things have seemed to you to be salvation. Each has imprisoned you with laws as senseless as itself. You are not bound by them. Yet to understand that this is so, you must first realize salvation lies not there. While you would seek for it in things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws that make no sense. Thus do you seek to prove salvation is where it is not. Think of the freedom in the recognition that you are not bound by all the strange and twisted laws you have set up to save you.

Jesus Christ & Ayn Rand: Brother & Sister

It is far too easy (intellectually lazy) to conclude that Jesus Christ and Ayn Rand are miles apart in what they teach. Nothing is further from the truth. It is only necessary to juxtapose the words of Ayn Rand with the words of Jesus to see they teach exactly the same. Ayn Rand summarizes her teaching this way: "My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." — Ayn Rand, Appendix to Atlas Shrugged Let's look at the words of Jesus Christ regarding these four elements: 1. heroic being, 2. happiness as purpose, 3. productiveness, and 4. reason as absolute. Let's start with the idea that man must choose to be a heroic being. Here is how Jesus Christ says it: Be not content with littleness, but be sure you understand what littleness is, and why you could never BE content with it. Littleness is the offering you ...

Ayn Rand and Jesus Christ: Deep Similarities

Ayn Rand's intellectual genius was great, but far greater still was her willingness to tune in to her spirit, feel her spirit, live by her spirit, and write from her spirit. Her spirit has moved millions. "When I studied Atlas Shrugged I was inspired to change the direction of my life totally. I literally owe my life to Ayn Rand." How many times have we heard a statement such as this? The quality in a fictional work which can change someone's life so dramatically is not the intellectualism of the work, but the spiritual foundation on which the intellectualism is built. Intellectualism without a spiritual base is a painful torture which ultimately leads to terror and death, as Ayn Rand so perfectly illustrated with her fictional characters. But intellectualism which arises out of being in touch with one's spirit is a very different story, as those of us know who have read Atlas Shrugged . Ayn Rand's heroes are fond of saying their antagonists are "mindles...

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...
