Ron Paul Never Thought There Should be Separation of Church and State
The inane clown posse Republican Presidential nominating process is but a day away and every demented, “anti-everything but bombing Iran” candidate has had their moment of top-tier media attention. We adorably have these silly little contests and pretend that corn syrup farmers pave the way for the party nominating process, but the Conservative Supreme Court’s Citizen United decision essentially put the final nail in the coffin of direct democracy by the people and now Super Pacs– special interest groups that can spend unlimited amounts of money (soft monies), but are forbidden from coordinating spending with a candidate or a campaign-dominate the nominating process. In fact, the GOP candidates have spent $10 million just in the month of December on radio and TV ads intended to scare the crap out of corn-syrup farmers, with Rick Perry spending $2.86 million to remind voters why the other candidates aren’t as crazy and unqualified as he is. But let’s face it: no matter how much it irks dyed-in-the-wool conservatives, Mitt Romney is the inevitable nominee. But Ron Paul has certainly showed promise as of late and may find himself placing second in the over-hyped Iowa Caucus. So it’s imperative to ensure that all the greatly exaggerated fervor surrounding Ron Paul and some of his Libertarian beliefs are properly delineated.
With his commitment to principle and historical party ideology as well as consistency and authenticity, Ron Paul has attracted a wise swath of followers who are politically divergent. His open declarations of wanting to end the fruitless War on Drugs and legalize marijuana–a position that would be akin to a Republican quoting Keynes and Betty Friedan–and believes in a non-interventionist foreign policy–a position that would also be akin to a Republican quoting Keynes and Betty Friedan.
But Ron Paul has also attracted racist white dudes in white hoods (see Stormfront) and irrational, paranoid, conspiracy-theory, gun-touting nut jobs that spend their days in the attic of their gun clubs, clinging to their guns and short wave radios and shouting “Don’t Tread on Me”. Moreover, some of these Ron Paul supporters, or “Paultards“, make Gary Busey look lie George Clooney and Dale Gribble from King of the Hill look like Brian Griffin from Family Guy. Ron Paul, though usually hated by most right-wing fundamentalists, recently heralded the support of a known religious nut job who previously called for the execution of homosexuals and, scary enough, believes Ron Paul’s strident federalism will beget on a theocracy on the state and local level. In other wards, fascism on the national level: bad; fascism on the state and local level: good. Similarly, christofascism (Christian Taleban) on the national level: bad; christofascism on the state and local level: good. A very disconcerting pattern indeed.
Ron Paul prides himself on being a staunch Constitutionalist and has a school girl like crush on the Founding Fathers, but does he really understand the constitution and truly love the Founders ?
