Times have indeed changed. A century ago, virtually every schoolboy in America was familiar with Washington's Farewell address, and at least had a fair inkling as to its true and enduring wisdom, as well as its inherent morality.

Today, we have instead the politics of the 30 second sound bite--the politics of the moronic slogan, and the half-baked, intellectually underdone candidates. Ron Paul might be our last, best hope to salvage the achievements of many generations of the upward struggle of our rooted peoples. Whether the issue is domestic or foreign, he shows the deepest understanding of the full context of the issue. For that very reason, those who fear real analysis--or are too lazy for it--fear Dr. Paul. He is indeed a throwback to the days when political leaders had to support what they advocated with reasoned analysis; when Americans would not tolerate the politics of slogan hurling demagogues.

“on Paul might be our last, best hope to salvage the achievements of many generations of the upward struggle of our rooted peoples. Whether the issue is domestic or foreign, he shows the deepest understanding of the full context of the issue.”

His grossly inaccurate discussion of Iran in the last debate kind of killed that point.
