I Guess We Can’t Get Along After All

With all the crap the Statists in Congress are doing, you’d think that like-minded individuals would band together and fight against their zeal for oppression.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t look to be the case whatsoever if we are to believe the talk radio show pundits.
Now, I don’t listen to Sean Hannity.  It is not because I disagree with him, when in fact I usually do, it has more to do with the fact that his show is just not for me.  At times he seems to be redundant, which to me says that your audience is generally not all that smart.  Or they have adult ADD and need to be reminded again and again of what his show is all about.  That doesn’t mean that intelligent people don’t listen to show.  I’m sure there are plenty.  It just seems like it is insulting my intelligence.
So imagine my surprise when he’s up to his old tricks of condemning libertarians again.  Or more specifically, Ron Paul voters.  You know, those pesky 10% of Republicans who voted for Ron Paul as their Presidential bid.  It’s a shame no prominent conservative talk radio person supported him, otherwise we might have lost the Whitehouse.  Oh wait…
Anyway, the problem is that the Ron Paul voter, like me, is tired of war.  We have about three ongoing major wars that the Federal government has ceaselessly waged in the name of Statists and the destruction of our rights.  They are the War on Poverty, the War on Drugs, and the War on Terrorism.  The last one was a new addition after the Soviets fell because the Statists needed a new enemy to impose crushing debts, taxes, and inflated currencies on the dumb masses.
The problem with Ron Paul supporters is that we cannot keep the more mentally stable among us off the air of these shows.  I have to say, however, that many of these people are purposely put on the air in order to make the host look good.  Rush Limbaugh admits to that all the time on his show and it is the truth.  This is probably why I’d never get on, unless I either kissed ass or sounded crazy to the call screener.  And I don’t have the stomach to do either.  (Incidentally, kissing ass is really all you have to do to get on Michael Savage’s show)
If I were to get on his show, or anyone else’s, I think I might ask the following questions and hope that he gives me a serious response:
  • Did you know that most Federal employees make 70K or more?  That’s almost double the national average.
  • Did you know that 1/3 of the Federal budget goes to defense?  That includes the military, intelligence, law enforcement, and homeland security.  Do you really think that if we cut that amount in half, we couldn’t defend ourselves against terrorists and other national threats?
  • Are you willing to go all out when it comes to the War on Terror?  I mean, are you willing to nuke their hometowns and turning their families to dust?  Are you willing to dip executioner’s bullets in pigs blood and then executing the prisoners at Gitmo for war crimes?  Are you willing to carpet bomb whole towns and villas and put the fear of the United States above the fear of Allah in their hearts?  If not, then why are we fighting any war?  A nation unwilling to drop a nuclear bomb on their enemy should not go to war.
I’d probably get booted off for being a crackpot or lectured to for being cruel or sadistic.  But who says that war isn’t cruel and sadistic.  If you enemy openly decapitates someone and posts it on the Internet, all the while shouting Allah Akbar to drown out the victim’s screams, then you need to be crueler, not kinder.  War is Hell, after all.
But that’s neither here nor there.  Most of the time, Ron Paul voters catch crap from the likes of Sean Hannity because of our war stances.  But our domestic agenda is the same and no conservative is willing to work with us.  Ten percent is a significant number, not to be scoffed at.  If you really want to bring about some kind of conservative revolution, then you need us more than we need you.
You see, time is on our side.  If you continue to support Statists like Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, and other Republicans who do not adhere to the party’s platform, you will lose support and people will turn to us.  That is because Ron Paul represents the kind of person who should be in Congress.  Someone who is willing to vote against legislation because it is unconstitutional, even if it means going against his own party.
So when you’re all done bashing the Democrats in Congress, how about supporting Peter Schiff, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, and anyone else who happens to be running in a primary who works for liberty and freedom?
