Ron Paul Hurting Cause Voicing Leftist Nonsense?



"We said that peace must first surmount the obstacle of your desire to get rid of it. Where the attraction of guilt holds sway, peace is not wanted. The second obstacle that peace must flow across, and closely related to the first, is the belief that the body is valuable for what it offers."
-A Course in Miracles


The "mainstream" media (read "liberal-left" media) has adored Ron Paul's talk of leaving oppressed people (oppressed by socialist governments) to fend for themselves, not volunteering to intervene to help them. To be sure, Americans have been brainwashed by the left-wing media day in and day out, night in and night out, for years now. Probably some Ron Paul supporters have grown up never hearing any other side of the story.

But a close observation of the majority of Ron Paul supporters shows they are not all anti-intervention mudddleheads. For most Ron Paul supporters, for example, the Iraq war is not the main issue. Their "first things first" issue is the U.S. Government's steady metamorphosis over the last century or so into a corrupt dictatorial state which claims men and women's bodies are more important than their spirit ... and in so doing robs people of the true meaning of life.

Many Ron Paul supporters would join with Patrick Henry in declaring that without political liberty, life on earth isn't worth anything. It is the same stand eventually taken by all men and women anywhere who have lived under communism or socialism: "going through the motions" under the watchful eye of the state is not life.

Whereas most anti-war crazies are insane puppets of the worldwide leftist agenda, Ron Paul supporters are actually deeply opposed to the leftist addiction to controlling people politically. Ron Paul supporters are "Republicans" in the Thomas Jefferson sense of the concept. They want to return America to the freedom promised by the spirit of '76 and the Declaration of Independence. They recall ancient memories of freedom and sense the promise of the only life worth living.

The device which prepares freedom lovers for success, A Course in Miracles , indicates freedom of the spirit is worth everything, while defending the body is insanity:

You operate from the belief you must protect yourself from what is happening, because it must contain what threatens you. A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness; a belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make appropriate defense.

The world is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, its penalties and heavy armaments, its legal definitions and its codes, its ethics and its leaders and its gods, all serve but to preserve its sense of threat. For no one walks the world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.

Libertarian Mantra Exposes Obama Cruelty

President Obama has no choice but to offer you up as a sacrifice to his god.  His worship of the illusion that there can be a "common good" for society which transcends the good of individuals in the society demands your sacrifice. Yet libertarians fiddle. Are you amazed that libertarians blab about marijuana while the economy of the entire world is crashing?  Are you astounded that libertarians nit-pick about bedroom issues while the entire populace is being reduced to slavery?   Many libertarians spend their time forever addressing puny little issues which (a) make them look to the public like petty teenagers, and (b) serve only to side-track the public’s thought from an infinitely more important underlying truth. Okay, let's suppose you want to do some real good for the libertarian cause.  How about addressing  the one and only truly meaningful issue?  Maybe a little story would illustrate what libertarians should be talking about. One upon a time there was a

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
