McCain Always Gets Shot Down; Republican Party Will Have Ron Paul & Romney



"Your past learning must have taught you the wrong things, simply because it has not made you happy. On this basis alone, its value should be questioned. If learning aims at change, and that is always its purpose, are you satisfied with the changes yours has brought you? Dissatisfaction with the learning outcome must be a sign of learning failure, because it means that you did not get what you want."
-A Course in Miracles

The 2008 election cycle is fascinating to watch because everyone agrees it is about change, but with the possible exception of Ron Paul and Mitt Romney nobody seems to understand that change depends on learning something very different from what has been learned in the past.

Hillary Clinton's idea of change is to take over power from George Bush and institute a continuation of the former Clinton administration of the 1990s, only this time with Democrats in control of Congress so programs can be passed which work toward perpetuating Democratic Party rulership of America ... politics as usual, with nothing learned except how to stay in power another day while the world slowly falls apart.

Barack Obama's concept of change is more idealistic. But his ideal is the kind of socialism that works only in the fool's paradise of a dreamer's mind. If you want to find out why Obama's socialism is not only an unworkable fantasy, but actually an evil concept, read the account of the Twentieth Century Motor Works in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged. Barack Obama has learned nothing from the rotten stench of misery arising from the junk heap of failed socialist and communist experiments.

Ron Paul has learned from history. He can see clearly that it is the spirit of men and women that produces happiness and prosperity, and it was the spirit of men and women that was unleashed by the American Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution, allowing a people to discover their inner greatness and build the greatest country that ever existed. Ron Paul is still angry about what has happened to America and about how the Constitution has been treated, which means he still has much to learn about the self-sabotaging effect of anger and the tremendous winning power of inner peace. But he is on the right track, working for the continued American Revolution.

Mitt Romney experiences inner peace. But his learning is not complete either. He can see that a country has to be built on a spiritual foundation to be successful, but he is learning the hard way the difference between spirituality and religion, and that religions can breed prejudice. Romney hasn't yet learned to address a spirituality that transcends religions, although he senses its presence in free men and women trading freely with each other in a free market. It is not bad news that Romney is so innocent and without guile. It is not even bad news that he has been perceived by little minds as a flip-flopper. The good news is Romney is naturally open-minded, almost compulsively open-minded, and therefore extremely open to learning. (To see a video comparison of Ronald Reagan's speeches and Romney's speech: Ronald Reagan/Mitt Romney speeches )

Learning means the breaking up and falling apart of establishment thought patterns, establishment "wisdom," the establishment in general. Not much learning is happening in the Democratic Party, which has been the establishment for many, many years. But the Republican Party is showing great willingness to learn. McCain might be the last of the establishment, but after the McCain disaster keep an eye on the Republican Party. See related article: Republican Liberty Revolution

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 ...
