I think what’s REALLY amazing is the flack he catches from freepers. Which leads me to believe... if you took some founding father quotes and attributed them to Dr Paul... they’d call him a kook.
wanna see the links? (evil grin)
I’ve got to admit, for all of my being a small-government constitutionalist I only credited Paul with being right in some ways, a kooky extremist in others.
Now it seems that we were living in such an unreal reality before that the ‘kooky extremist’ was right all along. At the very least, the Republican Party should have given him a place of honor in the primaries for speaking necessary and Republican truths, rather than dismissing him as they did.
That isn't an accident - the criticisms being expressed aren't personal or original. Like the liberal "seminar callers" on CNN, they are repeating slogans invented by powerful financial interests to denigrate Ron Paul. These slogans usually take the form of "I like what Ron Paul says about economics but I can't stand his weakness on Islamofascism" - when even a cursory overview of his positions would show that opinion to be nonsense.
