What really frightens me is that he has a large youth following who have turned it into a cult. They all are worshiping at the alter of a guy ‘from the government who is here to help’. They weigh everything they believe about the government and the Constitution on what Paul says about it instead of picking it up themselves and reading it or grabbing the Federalist papers. They are worshiping at the feet of a career politician and are actually excited to send their money to someone in the government. They are selling their personal possessions and spending all their time in the service of him.
It really is a cult. Replace Ron Paul with Fred Phelps or David Koresh and the Constitution with the Bible and the the feel of the rhetoric would be indistinguishable.
They say it is just passion for ‘freedom and liberty’ but it has well crossed that line when they sacrifice their own individuality for a politician. They have long crossed the line from passion to obsession.
Yes, they have. I have a great niece who is foursquare in Ron Paul's corner. I have asked her questions concerning him while hoping to point many of these weaknesses/misunderstandings of our nation's policies. She simply brushes them aside and marches on. I don't wish to alienate her, so I usually just change the subject. Her mother and father disagree with her as well. It's frustrating to me when I encounter an otherwise intelligent person who simply does not respond to logic and reason.
