Less than a week ago, we questioned Ron Paul's real impact upon the issues being discussed in the never ending series of debates that have left every American shaking his/her head. If the candidates were celebrities, their PR staff would have warned them against getting over exposed to their market. And as politics is often referred to as, Hollywood for the Ugly, you really have to wonder.
Now, there is clear evidence that Ron Paul has raised the bar. Candidate Newt Gingrich, who has more skeletons in his closet than a Roman Catacomb addressed a group several days ago imploring the return to a gold standard and warning of the ills of currency debasement. Will it matter? Good question and our take is probably not, but we can always hope. And at least the proper issue about the future of America is finally being discussed. Time will tell.

Can we AFFORD to go back on the Gold Standard? We’re BROKE! There’s no gold in Fort Knox, so we would be starting from scratch......and to back every dollar of the currency at today’s gold prices? I don’t think any of us will live that long.
I know of a steeplejack crew who last fall painted some broadcast towers pretty close to Fort Knox.....and all the while they were there, according to them, black helicopters slowly hovered, circling the perimeter of the Vault area.
I personally think it’s a huge joke. LBJ cleaned out Fort Knox at the same time he and his cohorts stole the Social Security Trust money to pi$$ away on The War on Poverty. Which reminds me; the democRATS were such sticklers for GWB to present an EXIT STRATEGY for Iraq. What’s THEIR exit strategy for the war on poverty boondoggle?
