Ron Paul to the Rescue

To me, Ron Paul presented a coherent and far-reaching agenda. We rejected it as being too radical and unrealistic. Freedom, justice and the rule of law require hard work and some thought. Tasks clearly beyond our capabilities, we are unlikely to climb out of the grave we have dug for ourselves.Yet, we have the Constitution and the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. If enforced, they would serve as guides for a better future.The population sat on its hands during the passing of the Patriot and Military Commissions Acts. We allowed our military to stumble into two Asian land wars they can not win. The politicians and the bankers have picked our carcass clean. One might infer we are not ready for self-government.Ron Paul suggested we leave Asia immediately. He urged us to scrap the IRS and all the other alphabet soup agencies.Why not?

Michelle Obama Touched Me

Finally, I share a very private thought with the illustrious Michelle Obama.

"For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country," she told a Milwaukee crowd today, "because it feels like hope is making a comeback."

Since I am old enough to be her father, I sensed the loss of hope in 1968. Forty years is a big hunk out of anyone’s life. The youngsters among us have never had a day of freedom.

The Ron Paul supporters also have hope given them by the candidate. This spirit is exactly what the public needs, whether or not they recognize this.
