Free Chapters – A Return to Common Sense: Reawakening Liberty in the Inhabitants of America. Ron Paul delegate strategy is perfectly legitimate. Thomas Mullen TAMPA, May 3, 2012 – For at least a month, the media have been ignoring compelling evidence that Ron Paul is doing much better in the Republican nomination race than he did in the primary/caucus popular votes. In their hurry to write the general election narrative, the media have forgotten to perform their primary function: to report the facts. The facts are that Ron Paul has won at least two states and will likely win more.
Now that Paul’s success is impossible to ignore, the media are writing a new narrative. Headlines like “Ron Paul’s stealth state convention takeover” and “Ron Paul People Playing Mischief with Delegates” indicate that instead of ignoring Paul’s victories, they now seek to imply that there is something sneaky or unfair about them. Some even suggest that his delegate success in states where he did not win the popular vote may even (gasp!) Undermining democracy would be a good thing.
That’s how it is supposed to work. Chuck Baldwin -- The Man Who Should Succeed Ron Paul. By Chuck Baldwin April 26, 2012 NewsWithViews.com Anyone who has been reading my columns for any length time knows that I am a staunch supporter (and, yes, friend) of Texas Congressman Ron Paul. I have written previously on why I believe Dr. Paul is the man that should be elected President of the United States in 2012. I’ve devoted several columns to promoting Ron Paul’s Presidential candidacy.
Here was my latest. I am also on record as saying I believe that historians will recognize Ron Paul as being the greatest US Congressman in American history. Rep. That said, the disconcerting element of the 2012 elections is that Dr. Steve was first elected to the US House of Representatives back in that great freshman class of 1994 when a host of notable conservatives were swept into Congress, including people such as the late great Helen Chenoweth-Hage, the late Sonny Bono, Steve Largent, Joe Scarborough, Bob Barr, J.C.

And what choices does the Ron Paul campaign now face? You can help us decide. Here are some options. And you don’t have to chose just one. 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) Here are some factors to keep in mind. The widely reported Associated Press delegate tabulation is way off and this is driving all of the television commentary. Keep in mind, the AP reported 40 people at a Ron Paul event in Hudsonville, Michigan when photographs showed two thousand. As of today, the Associated Press awards Romney with 12 delegates in Iowa, 12 in Maine, 14 in Nevada, 9 in Colorado and 30 in Washington.
By the way, I have this reoccurring nightmare that some of the state conventions will retroactively award Romney their delegates and the media will end up being right, like a broken clock is right twice a day. Nevertheless, campaigns are not in the national media entertainment business. There is something else. Like this: Ron Paul’s caucus strategy is authentic republicanism. Thomas Mullen TAMPA, March 19, 2012—Give yourself a test. Without doing a web search or whipping out that pocket U.S. Constitution that a wild-eyed Tea Partier handed you, fill in the blank in the following sentence: The U.S. Constitution guarantees to every state in the union a _____form of government.
If you are like ninety percent of the American electorate, you answered “democratic” and you were wrong. In a democracy, the will of the majority is the law. That may sound like sacrilege to most 21st century Americans, but it’s true. Republicanism is the logical form of government for conservatives. Ron Paul’s presidential campaign strategy is rooted in republicanism. Paul’s platform likewise represents what is best about conservatism. Yet, conservatives today sound just like liberals when they decry Paul’s supporters using the republican nature of the caucuses to overturn the decisions of uninformed majorities.
George W. These same questions apply to the issues. Alice In Chains - Love, Hate, Love. Romney gets nasty in Nevada but Ron Paul prevails. For Ron Paul supporters there is good news coming out of Nevada but the price paid to win these victories has been brutal. Here goes. A report from people in the trenches. In Carson City, the vast numbers of Ron Paul supporters made no difference. The chair ignored them. This from a GOP insider who has been used in the past as a Sergeant of Arms. Here are some observations from Tom Mangone, a businessman. “One young man stood in the middle of the group of the candidates he supported. ” A woman, who was pregnant and ready to give birth at any moment, participated in her precinct meeting and became a delegate to the county convention. “But, a man, from my own precinct, who did not participate in the process and did not attend his precinct meeting, showed up only at the county convention.
Jennifer Kruger, a professional businesswoman, wrote a critique of the event, point by point, that will break your heart. But Carson City corruption aside, statewide, Ron Paul is prevailing.

Our economy is wheel-based. From commercial trucks to construction equipment, passenger planes to freight rail, we depend on wheels.
Today, as gas prices are spiking, the cost of keeping those wheels turning is becoming harder for families and small business owners alike. Since President Obama took office, average national gasoline prices have risen from $1.84 per gallon on Inauguration Day 2009 to about a $3.74 per gallon today. Residents in states like California, Washington, and Hawaii probably wish they were only paying the national average, as their gas prices have reached as much as $4 per gallon or more depending on where they live. Because the effects of high gas prices are far-reaching for our economy, addressing this challenge must be a top priority for our next President.
When I see the high pricesat the pump, I think about those who are struggling to get by and need to fill their tanks in order to go to work every day and feed their families. Staggering Idiocy on Oil - Mike Shedlock - Townhall Finance Conservative Columnists and Financial Commentary - Page 2. Bernanke is hell bent on producing price inflation. He has succeeded, just not where he wants most. What Bernanke desperately wants is for housing prices to rise because that more than anything will help the banks and all the foreclosed properties they are sitting on.
The Bernanke Fed has certainly assisted the stock market, as intended, but that is not doing the average Joe much good in the face of soaring oil prices, soaring food prices, falling home prices, and zero% interest on savings. Oil Shock Coming As a direct consequence of Fed policy, in conjunction with an inane US and European oil embargo on Iran, Europe (already in the midst of what is going to be a long and deep recession) will be hit with an oil shock on top of it. Record Price of Oil in British Pounds On Wednesday the Financial Times reported Record sterling oil price sparks fears “This is a regional oil shock,” said Amrita Sen, commodities analyst at Barclays Capital in London. Record Price of Oil in Euros. 3 of 4 GOP candidates would add to deficits - Feb. 23. Ron Paul's economic proposals would stem deficits while those of Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich would add to the national debt, according to a new analysis.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Newt Gingrich's economic plan would do a lot of things. But reducing the debt and balancing the federal budget aren't among them. Same goes for Rick Santorum's and Mitt Romney's economic plans. Indeed, a preliminary analysis by the independent Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget released Thursday estimates that the three candidates' plans could add between $250 billion and $7 trillion of debt over the next nine years. By contrast, the proposals of Ron Paul could reduce the debt by $2.2 trillion, the group estimated. The estimated changes in debt were made relative to what the CRFB calls a realistic baseline, in which the Bush-era tax cuts are made permanent, scheduled payment cuts to Medicare doctors are prevented and $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts are waived.
Newt Gingrich's plan.
Economical writing. Is the Constitution for Everybody. According to The New York Times, the American Constitution is losing popularity with people around the world. "The Constitution," writes Adam Liptak, "has seen better days ... its influence is waning. " Liptak points out that in 1987, over 160 of the 170 countries on Earth had cribbed from the Constitution -- but today, few countries do. Why? Liptak suggests, quoting Professor David Law of Washington University in St. Louis, that our Constitution is "Windows 3.1. " Intuitively, this sounds wrong.
The answer is simple: More countries today want governments that provide for them rather than governments that keep them free. There's another problem, too: More countries today want governments that are "efficient" rather than governments that leave them alone. Ron Paul Secretly Won the Caucuses. They all laughed at Ron Paul. They all laughed when he took a stage in Minnesota, having come in a solid second place, and reminded the faithful of a "little thing called delegates! " They were serious about it. Paul's people believe that they understand the delegate process, and that the media does not.
There is truth here: The delegate process is confusing, and I assume that Paul supporters have used their four years of organizing and studying in a fruitful manner. In an e-mail to supporters, they try to get granular about what's occuring. We are confident in gaining a much larger share of delegates than even our impressive showing yesterday indicates. . - In one precinct in Larimer County, the straw poll vote was 23 for Santorum, 13 for Paul, 5 for Romney, 2 for Gingrich. For this to stick, Paul's activists have to show up at the next votes -- small affairs, not much media, happening in March -- and control the delegate process. Hitler was chosen as Time magazine's Man of the Year for 1938. Adolf Hitler, Time Magazines's 1938 Man of the Year On January 2, 1939, Time Magazine published its annual Man of the Year issue. For the year 1938, Time had chosen Adolf Hitler as the man who "for better or worse" (as Time founder Henry Luce expressed it) had most influenced events of the preceding year.
The cover picture featured Hitler playing "his hymn of hate in a desecrated cathedral while victims dangle on a St. Catherine's wheel and the Nazi hierarchy looks on. " The Man of the Year cover had been a Time tradition since 1927 when Charles Lindbergh became the first Man of the Year. The article about the 1938 Man of the Year in the January 2, 1939 issue of Time is quoted below: January 2, 1939 Adolf Hitler Greatest single news event of 1938 took place on September 29, when four statesmen met at the Führerhaus, in Munich, to redraw the map of Europe.
Most other world figures of 1938 faded in importance as the year drew to a close. On the American scene, 1938 was no one man's year. Tony Miller. National Defense Authorization Act Outrage Continues To Grow Online. Robin Koerner: When Pro-Life Is Pro-Choice. I am strongly pro-choice. On this conviction, I differ from the candidate whom I am supporting for president in 2012, and whom I am suggesting liberals everywhere support.
Many of those liberals who most strongly disagree with the Blue Republicans -- former Obama supporters, Democrats and Independents, who support Ron Paul for president in 2012, revert to a single argument against him: that he is pro-life and this will have terrible consequences for the reproductive rights of women in the USA. I've really not wanted to engage this as, on the one hand, it seems to be such an extraordinary (sometimes I think deliberate) misunderstanding of Paul's politics as to be not serious, and, on the other, abortion is such an emotive subject, I can't imagine any writer gaining more readers than he loses by writing about it. But since this matters so much -- as this misunderstanding is now standing in the way of remaking our country -- I'm going to engage it this once, and damn the torpedoes.
The Empire Of Liberty: Thomas Jefferson, Ron Paul And The Sacred Fire Of Freedom - Page 1. Who stands in opposition to “the [central] bank of the United States, public debt, a navy, a standing army, American manufacturing, federally funded improvement of the interior, the role of a world power, military glory, an extensive foreign ministry, loose construction of the Constitution, and subordination of the states to the federal government”?
Hint, these words were not written about Rep. Ron Paul. This is Garry Wills’s description of Thomas Jefferson. The elite political class looked with disdain, and now looks with a certain measure of bemusement, upon Dr. Paul. Paul represents the re-emergence of a great American tradition. One of the keys to America’s greatness is how George Washington was able to harness both the great centralizing, industrializing forces represented by Alexander Hamilton together with the great decentralizing, Arcadian forces represented by Thomas Jefferson. The Hamiltonian version of America is ascendant. Jefferson was a courageous radical.
