Ever go along blithely harboring and espousing a certain point of view, and then have it suddenly hit you in the face that you were going about things totally wrong? I just had such an experience - coming to an epiphany re the comparisons I'd been making between Ron Paul and Ward Churchill.
Nobody knows who Ward Churchill (the Boulder professor who calls the 3000 9/11 victims "little Eichmanns" who had it coming to them) is. And even though the comparison was apt, there was a less trivial one - with a more recognizable public figure, and with immaculate timing - just lurking to be exploited.
You see, not only did Paul blame América (and absolve the Islamists) for 9/11 (a common theme for all three of these individuals), but he accused us of having been, in effect, the "real terrorists" - not only in the middle east, but in Vietnam. According to Ronsie Pauldonnell, it was Uncle Sam who indiscriminately attacked both the Islamofascists and the communists, both of whom were simply minding their own business (namely, enslaving the world to antichristian totalitarianism via terrorism and mass murder on an unprecedented scale - not to mention infiltrating us bigtime to establish, on the one hand, sleeper cells and terror training camps, and, on the other, a third column that forced our surrender, and, later, the rising Democrat Party, and the sinking RINOs).
None of that stuff in parentheses seems to bother "Ronsie", who, in the most recent debate asked us how we'd feel if China set up shop in our backyard, say the Caribbean. [As you may recall, we are, in fact, waging a massive campaign of beheadings, car bombings, and skyscraper demolitions in reaction to the fact that the Chicoms have complete control of the Panama Canal and virtual satellites in Cuba and Nicaragua. We are, aren't we?]
The three salient points here are:
1. Paul is never going to unite Américan (I'm just getting ready for life under McKennedy amnesty with that persistent little accent mark) patriots behind his anti-Américan, pro-communist, pro-Islamist comments. Thus, he cannot succeed in his presidential bid, and in the meantime he's totally eclipsing Tom Trancredo (on the heels of whose announced candidacy Paul's followed suspiciously close) who, in theory, at least, could.
2. Paul's fundamental premise on current events - that this administration deceived us to "justify" and unjustifiable war is exactly backwards. This administration deceived us and continues to do so to keep the war from seeming justified (and give the Democrats and UN the currency to overwhelm América).
An adminstration that wanted to justify an Iraq invasion wouldn't stonewall proof that Iraqi agents leveled the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, give a 9/11-style training camp in Iraq the silent treatment, muzzle its own inspector, David Gaubatz, when he finds a huge supply of WMDs in southern Iraq, scuttle John Shaw's investigation that showed an even bigger stash had been smuggled out - to Syria and elsewhere - by the Russians, ignore Iraqi General Sada's vivid accounts of similar shenanigans, and quickly dispatch an operative - in reaction to Rick Santorum's Freedom of Information revelation of 500 WMD finds - to say this wasn't the stuff we invaded Iraq to find (and this is just a small sampling of the things the Bushites have done in this regard).
3. Rush has it right. The current immigration bill will establish the Marxist Democrats as the only viable Américan political party - at least untii their masters, the communists, come out of the proverbial closet. The Republican leadership knows this, and is proceding full speed ahead with its campaign of subterfuge to make sure it happens.
The WMD coverup only furthers this end, and Ron Paul's candidacy helps, in that it gives further legitimacy to the the false notion that the invasion was groundless (and that América is, indeed, the Great Satan) and utterly destroys our one true political hope - Tancredo's candidacy.
Ron: did you know there's an opening on "The View" that has "Ron Paul" written all over it? As a "guy"-necolegist, you may qualify, technically, for this "girl talk" program; after all, the person who left the opening certainly wasn't altogether female himself.
