Retiring Congressman Ron Paul, former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, comes done on the same side as many progressives on the Israeli occupation of Palestine. A recent post on his website, reiterates comments he made when was president about Gaza being nothing but a vast concentration camp.
It has never mattered to Paul which party was in power. His greatest appeal, especially among young supporters, is his ability to tell the unvarnished truth. He puts the blame for Gazan atrocities squarely where it belongs: with the US government, which is the main supplier of planes and bombs Israel uses to attack Palestinians. Read below the fold...

Police Intervene, Arrest Ron Paul Backers at Missouri Caucus
Police and organizers shut down proceedings at one of Missouri’s largest caucuses today, as Ron Paul supporters feuded with local GOP leaders.
“It’s like the Hatfields and the McCoys around here,” St. Charles County’s former GOP chairman told ABC News, after police arrived on-scene with a helicopter and removed Paul backers.

I'm reading an interview of Jill Stein by Steve Horn at TruthOut, done in Madison, WI this past December 15th. Quite interesting and highly recommended. At one point in the interview, Ms. Stein says that she has had Ron Paul supporters say that if Paul is not the nominee, they are going to vote for her, because she is the only one talking about civil liberties. Take that, liberals!! Read below the fold...

Perhaps this is cheating, but rather than giving a link to follow, I'm reproducing a newspaper column by David Sirota. The original can be found here. He makes a very good point - one that I think is the reason that liberals are foaming at the mouth about Ron Paul. Agree or disagree?
Our Selective Definition of Bigotry
"If they have any value at all anymore, presidential election campaigns at least remain larger-than-life mirrors reflecting back painful truths about our society. As evidence, ponder the two-sided debate over Republican candidate Ron Paul and bigotry. Read below the fold...

I know, I know.
I am not saying Ron Paul is my idea of an ideal American President. FAR from it.
But doing an inventory of Obama and Paul as to who is the lesser of two evils? Paul wins.
Anti-abortion. Anti-universal health care. Anti-gay rights. Anti-social security. Anti-welfare. Pro-guns. Pro-capital punishment, etc., etc. I don’t like -- no, I HATE -- these stances of Paul. Since I have just begun researching him, there may be a lot more that genuinely will repel me.
And yet again I declare in measuring Obama to Paul in terms of lesser of two evils-ness, Paul wins. Read below the fold...

So I got this email from a friend:
DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas asked us to forward this message to everyone
we know in Michigan. If you'd like to comment on this plan, visit:
Dear Michigan Friend,
We're not going to beat around the Bush. If you want to help make mischief for
the Republican Party - and bolster the Democrats' chances for taking the White
House this November - read on!

Congressman Ron Paul is running on the wonderful ideal of “liberty.” And who among us would not like more liberty? – The freedom to choose any personal path, freedom to do whatever it is that sparks our fancy. We’d be free of governmental impediments; who needs all these laws anyway?
The problem is, that when I gain the liberty to do X you necessarily gain the liberty to do Y. And what if X and Y are philosophically or practically in conflict if not incongruous? Read below the fold...

A lot of things are more or less a 'done deal' at this point; I'm not counting on environmental or economic conditions to be stable, let alone the political or cultural environment. So the imperative for me is about trying to reduce the chances of the "very, very bad" conclusion of this part of the cycle of American history. I've had enough of theocracy and government surveillance.
Xan noticed some signs. I have too. Read below the fold...
