Socialists and Neocons versus Ron Paul
Bryan Edds
Lew Rockwell.com
Wednesday Aug 22, 2007
From my experience, people who attack libertarians such as Ron Paul are often not serious about ideas. I have noticed the individuals who deride Dr. Paul do so mostly with shallow and dishonest attacks.
Take the various socialists and welfare-statists who attack Ron Paul. I understand they support nationalizing healthcare while generally being against the occupation of Iraq. Because they oppose the occupation, they should find a powerful ally in someone as principally opposed to it as Ron Paul. Take also the neoconservatives in the mass (minded) media such as Faux News who attack and omit Dr. Paul. I understand they support the occupation of the Middle East but also believe government should be strictly limited in accordance with traditional conservative ideas (right? right???). In Ron Paul, they have a great opportunity to highlight these at least rhetorical parallels while simultaneously expressing reasonable disagreements. Because of these considerations, I believe it reasonable to expect a certain amount of give and take among the three camps, if only for practical reasons.
What I have experienced instead has been a surreal and dishonest two-front attack against Ron Paul. No argument seems to be too trivial or irrelevant for the anti-Paulians to make. They seem to be bringing up every possible issue (real or imagined) against Ron Paul in the hopes something – anything – will stick.


Consider:
While the President gets dictatorial power to spy on and indefinitely kidnap innocent Americans, socialists and neocons speculate wildly about Ron Paul supporters "spamming" internet polls.
While thousands of men, women, and children violently die in Iraq and Afghanistan, socialists and neocons misrepresent Ron Paul's refusal to fund stem cell research.
While the Bush administration plots to drop nuclear weapons on Iran, socialists and neocons spin every single Ron Paul victory to be meaningless or nonexistent.
While people suffer without healthcare because government intervention makes it unaffordable to the poor, socialists and neocons distort a decade-old mishap Ron Paul had with one of his previous ghostwriters.
Where they manage to attack Dr. Paul’s ideas directly, they do so with increasingly ineffective arguments. Consider further:
While the Constitution is trashed and mocked by all three branches, socialists and neocons talk about how Ron Paul's message of rule of law is anachronistic.
While government at all levels rob the people blind, socialists and neocons sneer at Ron Paul’s suggestion to get rid of the Federal income tax.
While the American economy further implodes due to the boom and bust cycle created by the Federal Reserve, socialists and neocons talk about how Ron Paul's anti-Fed proposals are "irrelevant."
While the prices of essential goods dramatically increase via inflation, socialists and neocons talk about how Ron Paul's hard-money ideas are unrealistic.
While Ron Paul educates Americans on economics, socialists and neocons spread discredited Keynesian and Marxist myths which undermine liberty and prosperity.
While Ron Paul plans to help reintegrate America with the world through peaceful trade and foreign policy, socialists and neocons smear him as "isolationist."
While Ron Paul gains more supporters every day, socialists and neocons criticize his lack of name recognition in land-line phone polling – yet at the same time groan about how fanatical and pervasive his supporters are...
Something isn't right. There is honest disagreement, and then there is demagoguery. There is mutual respect, and then there is mud-slinging. I cannot name one person who Dr. Paul has disparaged as badly as most of his critics see fit to disparage him. This says a lot about all said parties involved.
What is it then about Ron Paul that inspires such fevered attacks? I will say what I believe. I believe the battle for freedom takes place not only in the upcoming election, but also in the arena of ideas. In this arena, I believe Ron Paul’s message is more powerful than any political shenanigans that can be put against him. I believe also the embittered detractors have good reason to be up in arms. With every Ron Paul victory, they have found their intellectual weaponry to be unexpectedly brittle and ineffective against the message of freedom.

I wonder why, given human life is trapped underground, didn't the owners of the mine multi-task and drill more than one hole at the same time. It is obvious they did not know where they are/were. Forget about the cost of drilling and lets realize the miners are humans, not coal or diamonds.

I once heard a couple years ago a friend of mine that americans do not like french and vice versa.Is it true? Why?) If it´s true.... well, then why in the world is that?. Make no sense, because France was free from the germans thanks to the allied army during WWII. Well,. and others have failed to recognize the grreatness of such.

i have paid my bills,like what you're supposed to do when you get a job,the thing is,is that except for how long I have worked at this job,i don't feel like I really have accomplished very much,except for making a few good freinds.I would like to feel better about myself working at my job,but I kinda stuck at work,and I would like to get another job,and go back to school,but I don't have a real clear path to what I would like to do,(except for working with computers).I want to take chances,like getting another job,but I don't have alot of confidence in myself in doing something else.Any suggestions on how to change the way I feel about myself?

I started dating my ex-gf again about 2 weeks ago. While I was so in love with her, she said she was just "testing her feelings for me again." I've changed my life significantly and have done everything I possibly could do to show her how much I love her, but she's just not into me like she used be in the past. She says she needs to take it slow, but she's had nearly 6 months after we first broke up to think about our relationship. Obviously we don't have sex, but she can't even hold my hand without being uncomfortable. I tried so hard but I could not take it anymore. She says she cares about me, and wants to love me but says she has to continue to build her feelings for me again. Yesterday, I broke up with her. It's so painful to love someone so much and not be loved back. Some people say true love is worth waiting for, but I'll never know if she would ever fall in love with me again...Should I have just kept on dating her like this forever? Was my decision rash?
