Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Ron Paul separates fools from their money

Captain Crazy and his Merry Morons are giddier than Larry Craig in a bathroom stall at The Blue Oyster Club at the amount of jack they drew in the other day: $5.5 – $6 million.  With that kind of fundraising prowess, dude may finally crack double digits in the polls.  Then again, calling Christians “fascists” isn’t gonna score the Bircheresque crank many brownie points in a Republican primary, now is it?

There are those who are certain that a candidate’s ability to raise money quickly will translate into electoral success.  Two words for those folks: Howard Dean.  He raised a boatload of dough in 2003 and early 2004, only to flame in every state (save Vermont).  The same thing will happen here, without question.

  2. At least the fools have less money now.

  3. The only mistake Paul could make with his minions is to be caught saying “leaving the middle east too soon might be dangerous to our national security”. The blimp would immediately pop.

  5. respectfully,

    It appears the blood stopped flowing to your brain when you heard the word facist. If you parse what he said it amounts to “beware the false prophet”, I think that’s a fair and accurate indictment of Huckabee’s “It takes a theocrat to defeat theocratic terrorists” appeal.

    it’s not an attack n Christianity, and if you think it is you havent comprehend the words.

    What’s a “facist”? Someone with a funny face? Someone who faces something? A cyst on the face?

    If you parse what he said …

    No, thanks. I think I’ll just take the man at his own words, if it’s all the same to you.

  7. I am Republican, Christian, and thoughtful. I am also looking to see a Republican stay as President for more reasons than I can count.

    I know something else that seems to elude most of the Religious Right. We can’t elect a minister as President.

    We can elect a Libertarian. One who will keep government out of our lives, schools, and pews.

    One man has the courage to speak his convictions. One man has two brothers as ministers. One man is, and always has been Pro-Life. One man is for the Constitution of this country as his driving force for change. One will stop the killing of others and the erosion of our freedoms at home.

    Complain if you want. Suffer a movement of “kooks” who do not see the world through your eyes. Join them and look at the man running for President and what he stands for.

    If Ron Paul can bring together all the independents and disgruntled democrats along with the apathetic Republicans, we should whole heartedly support this candidate.

    His appeal is too wide too totally understand but, it will get him elected this year. Freedom to ALL. It is the message and the Constitution.

  8. His appeal is too wide too totally understand but, it will get him elected this year.

    If you believe that, then you are one of those “kooks” you described. Dude’s barely polling around 10%, and he trashes the base of the Republican party. Not exactly the most effective strategy, wouldn’t you say?

  9. The mainstream media** (in the business of broadcasting ‘what to think’ along with hearty congratulations for being ‘independent-minded’ enough to agree) threaten to be overthrown at this late hour, by those who can (thanks be to God) still think for themselves.

    **MSM: aka “lieberal media” or “neo-cohn media” depending on which half of the phony “opposition” one prefers to be duped by.

    What RP actually SAID was: It (a commercial which was just described to him) reminded him of the Sinclair Lewis quote, “When Fascism comes, it will be draped in a flag and carrying a cross.” (As has often been the case, historically in fact, and also prophesized in the Bible, most notably the antiChrist). He most certainly did NOT “call Christians fascists”. But, since when does telling the truth matter to the slanderers and haters of the only truly decent and honest man running for the office of President?

    “To attempt to silence a man is to pay him homage, for it is an acknowledgement that his arguments are both impossible to answer and impossible to ignore.”

  10. Ron Paul is both a true Christian and a true patriot. He has my support, and my money, all of the way! Ron Paul 2008!

  11. I don’t know any Liberals or Conservatives. I do know people. A huge percent are morons. Among these morons are subsets self labeled as liberals, conservatives, democrats and republicans………………As for Ron Paul’s numbers, it’s not the number, but the direction. He started off the radar, not even 1%, back when Fred was at 18%, and Hillary was at 47%. Things move. He won’t win the nomination. That’s a given, that’s OK, he’s brought a new group to the political fold, to be involved in the future of this country. The Republican base of which you speak isn’t as much as a base as you think. Nationwide, maybe half the eligible voters vote, of that half, half voted for Bush. So a quarter of the eligible voters in this country voted for Bush. Of those that voted for Bush, 25% can and have voted for a Democrat. Another 25% are moderates with fiscal conservative leanings. That leaves 1/8th of eligible voters as the so called Republican Base. Watch in 2008 as many sit out. The so called dems/libs are wising up to the fact that Hillary would require many of us to vote against her, including myself. Now that it appears she will be out of the picture, I’m happy to do my part in disappointing the 1/8th of eligible voters calling themselves the “conservative base”. I come from a Southern Baptist family, and we have several ministers among us. You won’t see them on TV, you won’t find us in multi-million dollar shrines to our own greatness. What you’ll find are true conservatives. We don’t share much in common with Obama, but we do believe that the Republican base has been hijacked by morons. So we will vote Obama or sit out.
