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.

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...

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...

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 ...
