Ron Paul is one of the few US Congressmen who knows what the US Constitution is about and attempts to keep the laws Congress makes within it.

I'm starting to worry about this site. The posts here look like the character slaying, name calling approach to dealing with issues, used by the Democrats to protect their people (at any cost). I'd like to hope that Republicans and the people posting on this site don't take on the characteristics of those we oppose.

To me our purpose as Constitution Americans should be to protect our form of Government not our political party. These are very dangerous times, times in which laws _are_ being created that belie organic laws. We support some of them because of the war on terror. Let's not give everything our Founding Fathers fought for away without careful consideration of the consequences. Our limited National Government is acting as if there are no limits, and nearly everyone here thrashes those who counsel about the dangers.

There is nothing so new about the war on terror that it requires turning our Constitutional Republic upside down. Further, those that can look at an upside down Constitutional Republic and actually think it is right side up... what can I say? The greatest war that was ever fought was WWII and we managed to survive it without a police state.

Perhaps some think that the America of our fore fathers past cannot mutate into a tyrannical, oppressive land where government does whatever it wants, in the image of Nazi Germany. They see no problem moving one step after the other in that direction while still claiming to be Constitution Americans. I beg of you to stay the course of law and limited government. Your fore fathers and the millions of soldiers who have died for this country beg of you not to give it away. I can assure you that they did not die for an America turned upside down, but rather to keep it upright.

The cult of personality that surrounded Clinton has appeared here among the Bots regarding young Bush.

It's a sickness, no matter who is worshipped.
