Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul has gotten some attention (not nearly what’s deserved) for the astonishing fundraising on his behalf by those who have been roused by his message.
Normally, (we’re confident Dr. Paul would agree), such fundraising is merely a reflection of such sums’ corrupting ability to buy power and favor from the Leviathan the US government has become. We believe Paul’s fundraising is different.
Perhaps Pastor Chuck Baldwin has said it best “So, who are these “http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2741" who are sending Ron Paul so much money? And just why are they sending him so much money? I will tell you who they are, because I am one of them. They are rank-and-file, tax-paying citizens. They have had it with an arrogant federal government that runs roughshod over both the Constitution and the liberties of the American people. They are people who have had enough of the IRS, the BATF and a thousand other federal agencies that have “erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.” (As Thomas Jefferson put it in the Declaration of Independence). And Professor Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, said that Ron Paul will remain an influential figure in the 2008 race even if he is not nominated. ….”He has intense support among a segment of the population. They are doing something that people are ordinarily loath to do, which is part with their own money.” Sabato has stated he believes that the Ron Paul Revolution is far larger (“millions”) than anybody else in the mainstream media has admitted.
But just what is the Ron Paul Revolution? Baldwin’s reference to Jefferson and the Declaration gives us our clue. We believe it is no less than a resurgent Jeffersonianism (as opposed to the Hamiltonian tack this country took 142 years ago), first made triumphant at the point of the bayonets of blue clad interventionists bound and determined to free the Constitution from the chains Jefferson always recommended.
Nearly all of Ron Paul’s criticisms of our current situation are of those things put in place in the intervening years to seal that Hamiltonian victory. In those intervening years of course, anything associated with that Old Republic of Jefferson is now branded as backward, un-progressive etc. -“kooky” in short, and worst of all “http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2548."
