RON PAUL!!!!!!!

I've been wanting to write about Ron Paul and-

No, I haven't. I've not really been wanting to write about Rob Paul. Rather, I've been thinking that I should.

See, he's the bum of the month or "party savior" as the republicans might call it instead because "Bum Of The Month" just doesn't have the proper zest for a front-running candidate and "party savior" is pretentious, even for the same folks who derisively dubbed Obama "The Messiah" of the democratic party.

It was just a week or so ago that Ron Paul was not getting the proper respect or turn as the GOP bum of the month and people thought he never would. That wasn't fair because everybody but Santorum and Huntsman have had their turn as have people like Trump, Palin and Christie who haven't even actually run this season. Worse, for Paul, Santorum and Huntsman, was that people were making noise about Jeb Bush! Yikes! Only three years removed from the eight year reign of terror of one of the worst presidents in history and people were talking about appointing his brother as POTUS??!! Wasn't that the whole idea of Rick Perry?

It was like Ron Paul couldn't catch a break. Of all the candidates, to me he seemed the most tea partyish/constitutiony/small governmenty of them all. But Foxnews treated him like the goofy uncle everybody describes him as and talked behind his back a lot. When they did talk to him it was to get his opinion on whoever the current front runner was. That's kinda like a father asking one boyfriend what he thinks of the other guys who are fucking his daughter.

More than the other GOP candidates, Ron Paul makes sense if you don't think too much about much of  what he says. He doesn't think we should be fighting wars all the time and I'm in favor of that. It makes sense also that the threat of terrorism might pretty much go away if we quit fucking with these Arab/Muslim countries. And why do we go around arresting all our drug users? Sheesh- if you wanna get high, what business is it of the government? And I think instead of spending billions on a fence between here and Mexico, he's in favor of enforcing the laws already in place and eliminating the lure of jobs by cracking down on those who hire illegals. That is a Ferrerman idea, dedicated non-readers might recall. Actually, to be fair to me, so is the isolationist platform. We can't force democracy on other countries and pay for it with the blood of our boys and girls (and Chinese loans). It took a generation or two but the world figured out that, left to it's own devices, communism will fail whether we shoot at it or not so- save the bullets. Same with people who insist on worshipping Allah. It's their business.

Most of life is walking in the other fella's shoes a bit and thinking about how you might react to anything, as he would. This is pretty simple stuff. Would we like to be invaded by another country because they didn't like our leader, thought we had WMD's (WE DO!!!) and their VP had a financial interest in rebuilding whatever they blew up at the expense of that country's taxpayers?

No. And, no, it's not any different because we think or know that we are the GREATEST COUNTRY EVAH!!!! That doesn't  matter. Would we accept such rationale from China or Russia? If God not be for us, who could be against us? Make the world England?

We don't have to police the world nor do we have to act like we're Mormon missionaries out to convert the world. We could just let people be. How 'bout that? We could just let Ron Paul be too. He's just a crazy old uncle, ya know, hardly worth writing about, especially when he starts rambling on about "The Fed"....

Besides, I think it's Santorum's turn about now....
