You need to understand that the political spectrum is no longer ‘left and right’. It is the globalists versus the advocates of sovereign nations. The globalists don’t care what kind of totalitarian or collectivist system is put in place as long as they achieve their goal. Thats why you see a mishmash of fascism, communism and socialism in ‘change.gov’ and the global system.
Paul is an advocate of freedom. It will take all kinds of people to return to a free society. It is the globalists, made up of the former left and right (obama and maccain) that will be the death of this nation.
Splitting the vote is a red herring. If the party wasn’t being manipulated from the top down, real debate (not namecalling and character assasination)would have occured and real candidates would have come out for the election.
“the political spectrum is no longer ‘left and right’.”
It never was, they were always useless labels.
“It is the globalists versus the advocates of sovereign nations.”
think about this - “the globalists”? not true. russia has globalist plans, for it to be dominant. china has globalist plans, for it to be dominant. there are a wide variety of motivations among people you and I might consider “globalist”. there is not one big bloc called “the globalists” - that kind of thinking is self defeating
“The globalists don’t care what kind of totalitarian or collectivist system is put in place as long as they achieve their goal.”
again - totally over simple. that may be true for, say, Soros & Putin.
“Paul is an advocate of freedom.”
Sure. And that’s good. It’s important he’s in the mix. But his views are also overly simple. Can we say with certainty that a gold standard would have produced the economic prosperity we see today? I have the same instincts as you to distrust these people, but I also consider the possibility that maybe it’s not all as evil as we might be expected to believe.
“Splitting the vote is a red herring.”
No seriously, the left was pushing paul. He was used by the left. Take a good look at that picture I linked & think about it.
“If the party wasn’t being manipulated from the top down”
I also wonder if obama’s election wasn’t a predecided thing. And none of the candidates were great. But certainly Romney would have given us a better chance than mcnasty.
But America is still a free country, and votes do matter. But to talk of the party being manipulated from the top down is also kind of self destructive. Who allowed those people to run the RNC? Who allows new hampshire to be the first state to vote in primaries when their system clearly favors libs? tackle the real issues. there are real issues that need attacking consistently
