Run, Ron Pau! Run!!!
Kicked off a great stump meeting at The Events Summit Pointe Hotel in Spartanburg South Carolina yesterday as Ron Paul makes his bid for the Republican nomination for President in one of the first of the Southern primary states amid a surprisingly receptive crowd.
Paul stands tall with talk on freedom by The Herald Journal’s JASON SPENCER reports– A little-known Texas congressman seeking the Republican nomination for president visited Spartanburg Saturday and seemed to arrive with all the makings of rock-star candidate for his party - despite low polling, little name recognition and a relatively small campaign staff.
(Constitutional Government… Hey what a concept!)
“We have lost our faith and confidence that freedom really works!” as Ron Paul quips as he whips up the crowd into a frenzy with his messianic message “In most countries, tyranny reigns. Freedom is under attack. It’s under attack in this country, as well.”
stronger adherence to the Second Amendment over the past decade could have thwarted the 9/11 terror attacks - and that this country has gone in the wrong direction with “government bureaucrats taking away our toothpaste at the airport.” He said America can’t afford to continue to support its military presence abroad, which he called a “world empire.” He accused the government of “creating money out of thin air,” straying from the constitutional monetary standards of gold and silver. And he said he’s against abortion because a fetus has the same rights as an adult human.
It was not a large crowd, as far as crowds go, but they were vocal and as much as could fit and in fact people over flowed into the halls from the allotted space at the “Summit Pointe Meeting and Events Center” it was standing room only.
The most thunderous applause came when Dr. Paul talked about the abused of Habeas corpus and the abandonment of this important principals effects upon our Constitution. And how we should go about the serious business of conducting and winning a war without the incompetent interference from those at the TSA’s army of morons and other government bureaucrats of this ilk.
Spencer notes—Thunderous applause also followed when he decried the Patriot Act (ovation No. 4), when he said America should never go to war without a declaration from Congress or because of a United Nations resolution (ovations No. 8 and 9), and when he attacked President Bush’s foreign policy and handling of the war in Iraq (ovations No. 11, 12 and 13).
Notably absent from the discussion was what kind of government we should expect lacking of public funding and what was his plan to confront global warming.
As a populace “candidate” he has found no shortage of support from the “mainstream” party but as far as how he would preform as an actual President is still far enough in left field as to remain in the realm of theoretical conjuncture but its safe to assume he would have not found himself in the political arena at all if the current administration had demonstrated the slightest degree of repentance on any number of issues. The fact that the TSA is still finds a permanent encampment of tards, in control at our nation’s airports… Its a good indicator as any as why this administration’s oblivion remains clueless… They just do not get it. There is a cure for ignorance but not much can be done for just plain and simple stupid… Of course unless its “stupid by design”… Now there’s a scary thought but at the ends of the day remains the only rational explanation.
