Ron Paul had a GREAT debate performance last night, and showed why only he, of all the four candidates on the stage in Mesa, Arizona, would have even the slimmest chance of winning against Barack Obama (the only other candidate for the fall that also inspires youth votes), if for no other reason than that none of us who support Ron Paul out of genuine principle would even THINK of voting for any of the other three on that stage. You subtract US from the Republican calculations that are now being made, you alienate US, and there is no political scientist who can come up with ANY strategy for a plausible Republican win in the fall, barring the incredibly unlikely action of one of those three suddenly asking Ron Paul to be a running mate to become the Vice President (actually, that would be the smartest move any of the other Republican candidates could possibly make right now, but they wouldn’t dream of it).
Ron Paul is the Republican party’s ONLY CHANCE to have ANY CHANCE in this time around. So, start thinking about THAT, you suppressors and nay-sayers in Republican and conservative media leadership. WE JUST WON’T GO FOR YOUR OTHER CANDIDATES!
I liked the following article about the impact Ron Paul has made, and IS MAKING, on the Republican Party, but it doesn’t go far enough, as I have above, because I know the hearts of Ron Paulites better, I believe:
In a well-known series dramatizing Sherlock Holmes, Holmes is known to say, “It just won’t do, Watson!” And about Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum, I say the same thing: “They just won’t do!”
I recently bought a t-shirt that says, “Revolution or Nothing: Ron Paul 2012″, and that captures my sentiments, exactly! I hope it captures the sentiments of other Ron Paul supporters as well! I pledge now that I WILL NOT EVER VOTE FOR ANYONE LIKE A ROMNEY OR A SANTORUM, who evidence little to no REAL concern about actual civil liberties, and who, on the contrary, threaten to make the already control freak takeover of America even more controlling. I don’t care what the consequences to the Republican party might be, especially since the only reason I came back to the Republican party after Bush-gate [my view of Bush's treasonous destruction of our Bill of Rights] in the first place, was Ron Paul. I know I am not alone.
But, in case you are one of those who still don’t get it, let me make my LIBERTARIAN reason more clear. I recently rediscovered an old rant of mine that I wrote back around the time I had first started supporting Ron Paul, and I think it still captures well one of the two major reasons I will ONLY VOTE FOR RON PAUL (the other major reason being his hatred of unborn baby murder–i.e. abortion): I share in the spirit of true liberty lovers who recognize, and who are fed up with, the often subtle, but profound, assaults our fundamental civil liberties have been enduring in the past decade or so.
Keep in mind that the following was NOT originally intended for my blog, and that it uses some harsher language than I am accustomed to using. However, sometimes hard words are the only thing that can adequately capture the sense of a deeply felt concern. Also keep in mind that my rant refers to many news stories that are now quite old, and maybe forgotten. However, the spirit of the issues has changed little. The following had originally been a comment regarding contracts which dictate what people can and cannot do with things they have bought, and that they therefore should presumably own, but the rant also delves deeply into the wider loss of liberties we’ve been slowly experiencing in the modern and post-modern ages. In spirit, it helps explain ONE reason why ONLY RON PAUL WILL DO for me, because ONLY RON PAUL GETS IT, TOO, WHEN IT COMES TO THIS INSIDIOUS EROSION OF OUR MOST FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS!
MY LIBERTARIAN RANT:
People are getting totally fed up with living in a “free” country, in which, increasingly, everything we embark upon includes ‘despotic’ contractual agreements, which essentially deny us REAL ownership of anything, and require us to sell all of our so-called freedoms down the river in order to even breathe (soon we’ll actually be TAXED for breathing, in the name of “global warming”).
Gated communities take over the landscape all across Suburbia, and they become little Russia s, where people like Dennis Rader (he really used to do this) come along with a ruler and measure your grass, where nosy anal neighbors report you for not walking your dog twice a day, for painting your house the wrong shade of gestapo gray, for putting up political signs, etc. People get harassed if they want to home-school their children, to instill their OWN values and beliefs into their children. We have to pay enormous doctor’s office expenses just to get a doctor to scratch onto some paper what we already–responsibly–knew that we needed from the pharmacy (God forbid we should take responsibility for our OWN welfare!). Our children cannot sit in cars without government-approved seats, insurance companies dictate what we can and cannot do with our houses/cars/lives and restrict who we can allow to drive our cars, what we can do with equipment/computers/etc. Health care costs skyrocket because behemoth corporations “manage” our care while charging us the “difference” needed to make up for those without insurance. We can no longer purchase cold medicine at our own discretion over-the-counter, and God-forbid we should give any antihistamine to our toddlers, responsibly, who have NEVER reacted badly–BUT we are FORCED to give them questionable vaccines containing mercury! We have to give out our Social Security numbers for everything we do (also, here comes National I.D.!) even though identity theft is rampant (exactly BECAUSE the government assigns a number to every citizen in the first place!). In many places responsible gun ownership is being removed.
We are told about every gadget we buy, that if we don’t use the merchandise in a certain way–often forcing us to pay exorbitant rates for proprietary accessories–then the warranty is worthless. My first digital camera’s user manual said that if I used RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES that would void the warranty, even though I could only take a few pictures with the energy hungry gadget before I had to replace the batteries! We cannot resell many CDs and computer programs that WE BOUGHT, our LEGAL music downloads come with crumby restrictions embedded, which force us to call some behemoth corporation and wait on hold for an hour just to reauthorize one song, after another corporate behemoth sends a predatory “update”, which locks up legal computers with legal software, forcing a user to spend 24 hours reloading every program onto the reinstalled operating system. And while I’m on “updates”, the same behemoth greedy corporations invalidate perfectly good software operating systems that are more than a few years old, refusing to support them, and rendering older computers useless over time–opening them up to vulnerabilities in the mean time–just to force people to shake off any budget-saving sense of contentment with a perfectly adequate system (for sake of corporate greed). We cannot quit our cell phone provider for years–we are trapped–without paying outrageous fees, and all of the providers make monopolistic agreements (just like the gas companies), which prevent independent providers from offering contract-free service. We find out that if we buy the latest, greatest gadget phone, we are forced into a monopolistic expensive contract with the same greedy company that collaborated in violating all of our 4th amendment privacy rights, by supplying ‘big brother’ rooms for the NSA to spy and data mine all of our ‘private’ communications! And, if we adapt OUR merchandise to OUR preferred use, the company we bought it from comes in and purposely destroys the phone.
Companies are starting to require certain private habits for their employees, which are none of the employees’ business off the clock. Some perfectly loving but overweight parents are on the verge of having the social service Nazis take their children away, as are many parents who simply spank their children, or have an unorthodox view of childrearing. Kids are being forbidden to take snacks to school. WE ARE SO INVASIVE! People who believe in having outdoor dogs are reported by Nazi-nosy neighbors and/or they get publicly shamed in newspaper editorials for making the ‘poor thing’ sleep in a dog house (dogs should have their own bedroom, right?, and a $12 million dollar inheritance, while we leave close relatives–people–out of our wills), others file complaints for cats that do business in yards other than their own (who can keep a cat in its own yard (CATS LOVE FREEDOM, TOO!), without putting it on a leash?), for having children, or basically for living. Contracts that sell our freedoms away, and anal retentive control freaks are everywhere we turn today, and if we even took time to READ all the fine print involved in EVERYTHING WE DO, we would have NO TIME LEFT to DO anything!
We’re basically turning into a bunch of communists, who simply use devious means, and sometimes contractual agreements, to GET AROUND all of our annoying freedoms, which are actually few and far between any more, because we’ve been so hedged in in small increments, like frogs in a boiling pot. (I could mention MUCH MUCH more–and things MORE serious in nature, but enough already)
My point is, that some of the anger has to do with MUCH MORE THAN [specific incident was mentioned]! And it just so happens, that the two [people] proved themselves to be rigid to the point of obsessive-compulsive behavior, so as to make them a natural target of the pent up frustrations freedom-loving Americans are feeling, in the midst of an ever-encroaching control freak take-over of America! While most of the frogs in the boiler pot are adjusting to the gradually increasing heat, and don’t KNOW that their liberty is about to be boiled to death, SOME of the frogs NOTICE the encroachment of fatal heat, and they’re jumping mad!

I find it repugnant that thoughtful people can actually shrug their shoulders in the face of blatant evidence of corruption in a so-called “democratic” process. The author of the following article about vote manipulation in the Maine caucus,
which has probably hidden the fact that Ron Paul really won the state of Maine, shrugs his shoulder at the evidence of foul play because it is “party run”, and because it is a so-called “beauty” contest anyway. This explanation spells either complicity or else profound political naïveté. There wouldn’t even have BEEN the evident fraud in the first place, if the Republican establishment hadn’t realized that a so-called “beauty” contest win for Ron Paul over their darling in Maine would be devastating to them and empowering to Ron Paul! THEY, at least knew it matters!
How ignorant do you think we are? I hope the Ron Paul campaign team isn’t buying these foolish arguments. Ron Paul needs to demand a recount, if only to get the attention back that was stolen away from him by the “irregularities”. And the demand needs to be accompanied by a lot of huffing and puffing for the same reason, as well as for the reason that the establishment only always builds their houses of deception out of straw [men], and therefore we can expect some destruction from the huffing and puffing to blow their house down.

REPLACE THE WORD “wisdom” with the word “candidate” (& change the first “it” to “he/she”) and my statement, below, loses none of its meaning:
Conventional wisdom (in a fallen world) almost always contains fatal flaws, because it is derived politically, and is voted into convention by the least trustworthy of political constituencies: the one whose priority instinct has been changed (due to having gained an ascendancy) from that to struggle for sacred truth and liberty, into an instinct to preserve its own dominance—at all costs (even the cost of its own first principles)—over all whose continuing struggle might threaten the hard won established order [read establishment control].

Ron Paul’s opposition to the diabolic death penalty sets him apart from his Republican “peers” as well as from the lame administration now in the White House, that despite being Democrat (a party that generally frowns on death penalty) has just allowed a possibly innocent man to be put to death by the state in Georgia.
Is Ron Paul getting a raw deal? Jon Stewart, host of “The Daily Show,” thinks so.
And so do many fans of Mr. Paul, who have taken to e-mail and Twitter to vent their frustration that his strong, second-place finish in the Iowa Straw Poll is being largely ignored.
“It’s absolutely horrendous and despicable the lack of media coverage Ron Paul is getting,” tweeted @themitchellg.
Readers of The New York Times expressed their views in e-mails — many of them — after the straw poll results showed Mr. Paul, a 12-term Texas congressman, trailed Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, the winner, by only 152 votes.
“We live in a democratic republic, where the votes of the people deserve to reported by the media, not editorialized into obscurity,” wrote Matthew H. Harder.
Richard Timm wrote that “Ron Paul’s 2nd-place finish merited much more attention in your article. Even if you don’t believe he can win the nomination, don’t you think it’s worth giving the only anti-war Republican a little more emphasis??”
If you’ve been a reader of my blog, you must have noticed that I’ve been away from it for quite some time, because my own schedule was just tremendously busy for a time, and even though it will remain busy, I will be trying to get back into the swing of things with my Ron Paul activism, since the principles Ron Paul is fighting for are extremely high on my personal values list, after devotion to God and family, of course. But in the debate this last week, the difference between Ron Paul and even the better of the other Republican candidates for 2012 started coming into much sharper focus than I think they have in the past.
For instance, even though I was hopeful that Ron Paul would have beat out Michele Bachmann in the Iowa straw poll with a couple hundred more votes (they were neck and neck), I have to say that I am heartened to see her running closely with Ron Paul rather than some of the old neoconservative regurgitators [how ironic that a "neo", which means new, is such an old tired philosophy]. I DO appreciate some things about her, not least of which is her unabashed defense of the sanctity of life, and her emphasis on the constitution. However, I could not vote for her, because she is CLUELESS about the Constitution which she talks so much about. On far too many levels (including what I fear is a well-intentioned, but incredibly dangerous, penchant in her heart to legislate religion) she doesn’t GET IT–the spirit and practice of LIBERTY, that is (see my former essay about Ron Paul On Christianity, Morality & War (& Neo-Wars)).
The recent debate-illustrated difference between Michele and Dr. Paul is too serious to ignore, and just highlights the disconnect between her constitutional rhetoric, and her actual policy ambitions, which I’m talking about. In the debate she made it abundantly clear that she doesn’t understand even the most fundamental truth of America’s founding principles, that our treasured American rights and liberties were not seen by the founders as being something granted by humans, even by those humans enumerating them IN our constitution, but that they were “inalienable” rights belonging to “ALL MEN” [people], and that they are given to us by our “CREATOR” (not by virtue of citizenship in any nation).
Why do I say this about her? Well, simply because she is of the doctrine that non-American citizens HAVE no rights and liberties, since our constitution only applies to “Americans”. So, she believes it is therefore OK for us to prejudge the guilt or innocence of “terrorists”. And when we start with that label–or the label so worn out during the Bush administration, “bad guys”–isn’t that exactly what we are doing? Aren’t we presuming a guilt that we have not yet proven? Doesn’t that equal a denial of basic justice? That ludicrous position that we only recognize GOD-GIVEN rights and liberties for “American citizens” actually belies our claim of belief that all people are “created equal” in the sight of God! It is abhorrent! Of course, in the wake of such circumstances as the Wikileaks revelations (think Bradley Manning), the Obama administration recently demonstrated their willingness to go even further and start assuming guilt without trial for even AMERICAN CITIZENS (I think there’s something written in dusty old documents about “innocent until proven guilty”, but it must have gotten lost by Obama’s constitutional law professors). The administration’s tyrannical positions blew me away at the end of this last year, and I credit them with helping to re-ignite my own former Ron Paul passion earlier this year (a couple of months before I visited Washington, and Ron Paul’s office, hoping that he would decide to run again).
Which brings me to the devotional AND activist thought that was on my mind this morning (I can’t help it, being a pastor who is in love with God, the Bible and Christianity, my devotion for God colors every aspect of my life) when I woke up after a great 1st Ron Paul Meetup for a group I’ve been trying to establish in my area, and especially after I watched the video clip I’ve posted below. That devotional thought is actually an ancient pep talk from the Bible, given by ANOTHER “PAUL”, in another time, which I think is proving to be applicable to our modern cause of life and liberty:
NKJ Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
We are seeing powerful evidence of the truth Paul points out in Galatians. Just stop and consider how far the liberty r3VOLution–the Ron Paul r3VOLution–has come since the early days of 2007 when almost no one knew who Ron Paul was (that’s why we carried signs saying, “GOOGLE RON PAUL”), and when people like Sean Hannity used to take great pains to dismiss Ron Paul and all of his “eccentric” followers. But now, even Paul’s former detractors, and sometimes even his present enemies, are starting to HAVE to recognize Ron Paul, and to even admit that yes, Ron Paul is being vindicated on many lines.
Indeed, the modern political landscape is PERMEATED with Ron Paul influence. Ron Paul, whether some like to admit it or not, IS the true father of the Tea Party movement, though the name came from grassroots supporters like Trevor Lyman, because RON PAUL’S CREDIBILITY ON LIBERTY inspired not only the original money bomb of that namesake, but the entire movement to turn the ship of state back toward its constitutional course. It is profoundly unfortunate that the majority of those, including Michele Bachmann, who, perhaps sincerely, jumped on the constitutional bandwagon, went ahead and voted for re-authorization of the UNCONSTITUTIONAL so-called “Patriot Act”, but that difference just highlights the importance of our supporting Ron Paul now, as never before, as THE Tea Party candidate of 2012.
Even the success, however, of the other tea party candidates, as Senator Rand Paul (Ron Paul’s son) points out below (video clip), is a reason to be ecstatic, since it is proof that our hard efforts over time have not been in vain, and it can serve to encourage us in the continuing heated battle to press on, and as the Bible verse says, “not grow weary while doing good”, because if we keep up the fight, we WILL reap a harvest that I think will come as an overwhelming surprise to all of the former detractors, who once said Ron Paul couldn’t win. I believe that with God’s help, and our faithfulness, Ron Paul is actually POISED to win at present! Satisfaction with the present government is at an all time low, and I see the “Tea Party” only rocketing upward in public sentiment (though admittedly most voters don’t see the subtle, but profound, difference between Ron Paul and the others, which we need to make starkly clear). And everywhere I go, it seems the default sympathy of young people, even for non-activists, tends to be Ron Paul, hands down.
So let’s not grow weary. Some of us aren’t weary so much as BUSY, but even there, lets pray about our priorities, and ask God to guide us in such a way that we can use our personal influence, as well as our finances, to the best possible advantage in spite of hectic schedules and tight budgets. Even faith only grows with a fight, according to the “Paul” in the Bible, and everything WORTH having is worth FIGHTING FOR. I hope the following video can be as encouraging to you as it was to me. God Bless, my friend.

When the official Ron Paul 2012 campaign site came out with their campaign store, I replaced some previous links to Ron Paul products that I’d added to my blog when they had been the only suppliers available, in order to encourage purchases from the official campaign, which count as campaign donations. What I SHOULD have done, in hindsight, is to have added the campaign store without taking away the links to alternate providers.
While I still believe buying materials from the official campaign store is a GREAT way to donate to the Ron Paul 2012 campaign (and I ALWAYS support donating to the official campaign first, before anything else), since in essence any purchase becomes a double donation (money in the campaign coffers and materials spreading the Liberty r3VOLution on the streets), I have now been convinced that there is an equal need for more inexpensive materials as well, especially for low income supporters and/or groups needing large quantities to make big impressions at events. This is why I recently added back the links to another great supplier of campaign materials who can provide Ron Paul signs for as little as 29¢ (cents) each.
Vern and Donold of Ron Paul Grassroots HQ Dot Com (suppliers of low cost and bulk Ron Paul materials and grassroots Ron Paul r3VOLution organizers) contacted me about doing link exchanges, and they also shared the following suggestions they wished I would post for those seeking ways to help the Ron Paul r3VOLution grow:

TAKE AMES AT TYRANNY TOMORROW (Tuesday, July 19)
BY DONATING BIG TO THE RON PAUL MONEY BOMB!
Whether you can bombard with big guns or only muster muskets, your efforts are still needed!
THE FOLLOW LETTER FROM RON PAUL:
Dear [Friend of Liberty],
You’ve heard the news.
Last week, I announced I will not seek re-election to Congress and will instead focus on my Presidential campaign.
I believe that you and I have an unprecedented opportunity to restore our nation’s prosperity and rein in big government.
We can WIN the Republican nomination for President, and I believe now is the time we can take the White House in November 2012.
With the August 13 Iowa Straw Poll fast approaching, I’m counting on your support to help me finish strong and add to our increasing momentum.
Because the Iowa Straw Poll is so important, my supporters are holding a Money Bomb on Tuesday, July 19.
And the truth is, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
You see, my campaign’s first TV ad is now on the air in Iowa and New Hampshire and is making an enormous impact.
In fact, one recent Iowa poll confirmed what I’ve been seeing on the ground for weeks.
My campaign is growing incredibly, and I’m now within striking distance of first place!
But to keep this ad running – and pay for the critical direct mail, radio, and other marketing it will take for my campaign to surge to the lead – it’s vital I have your support!
So won’t you agree to make a generous contribution to my campaign by visiting www.RonPaul2012.com on Tuesday, July 19?
It’s crucial that you do so.
You see, right now, all eyes are on Iowa..
And unlike other polls, the August 13 Iowa Straw Poll isn’t one the media can spend weeks hyping and then simply dismiss.
The Iowa Straw Poll has always been a crucial bellwether for the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses.
It can turn a candidate into an instant contender – or CRUSH any hope of future success with a poor showing.
This year, the Iowa Straw Poll is more important than ever.
Right now, many GOP voters are desperately searching for a candidate who can go toe-to-toe with President Obama.
They want someone who can lead this country back to prosperity – with a consistent record of standing on principle to back up his actions.
I firmly believe that once voters take the time to learn about the issues and look at all the candidates, they’ll see that my record as a constitutional conservative is unmatched.
Columnists, TV pundits, talk radio hosts, and other national media commentators are all looking to the Iowa Straw Poll to see which candidate or candidates have what it takes to win.
And with my record of NEVER toeing the establishment line, I am the LAST candidate they want to acknowledge as a top contender.
So I’m counting on you to help me send shockwaves throughout the national political establishment with a strong finish at the Iowa Straw Poll.
The good news is, they can’t ignore us for long.
That’s because the momentum is ours.
My campaign will only get stronger as the weeks and months progress.
A strong showing on August 13 is our chance to show that my campaign has the organization and the message to not only stand toe-to-toe with any opponent, but to win this race.
And if you and I can capitalize on a top-tier finish in the Straw Poll with a massive blitz of campaign stops, media interviews, and paid ads, we’ll be laying the groundwork for a WIN in the Iowa caucuses and will build on serious momentum in other key states.
With your support, I believe we can continue shocking the political establishment and force them to recognize I’m a top-tier contender for the Republican nomination.
So I’ll hope you’ll agree to make a generous contribution at www.RonPaul2012.com on July 19.
I’m in this race to win, but I need the help of freedom-loving grassroots patriots to make that happen.
Thank you so much for all you do to advance the freedom message.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. I’m sure you’ve heard the news that I’m not seeking re-election to Congress. Instead, I’m focusing on my campaign for President.
And with the Iowa Straw Poll fast approaching, it’s vital I have your support.
I hope I can count on you to visit www.RonPaul2012.com during the July 19 Money Bomb and make a donation to my campaign.
Together, I’m convinced we can win!
AND HERE IS RON PAUL’S NEW TV AD:

Received the following from BORDC (Bill of Rights Defense Committee):
Dear [Liberty Lover],
Over the past ten years, FBI Director Robert Mueller has overseen extensive privacy violations and abuses of constitutional rights. Yet, even though the FBI has never addressed these ongoing and expanding problems, President Obama has asked Congress to extend the director’s term for the first time since the COINTELPRO era, when Director J. Edgar Hoover used the FBI’s power to spy on Martin Luther King Jr. and others whose politics he didn’t like. And Congress seems ready to do as the president has asked.
The Bill of Rights Defense Committee, along with a coalition of more than 30 allied organizations from across the political spectrum, is calling on members of Congress to vote against the extension of Mueller’s term and finally conduct long overdue oversight to restore constitutional rights. Will you join us?
Given the long list of abuses by the FBI under Director Mueller’s leadership, the Bureau needs a change. Let your members of Congress know that you’re watching, even if they haven’t been.
