No Wonder Google People Love Ron Paul

They're all brilliant.

Is Auburn University Anti-Ron Paul?

Apparently, the university limits free speech for students if they're Ron Paul supporters. Being for Obama or Romney or a host of others, however, is A-OK, says Allen Mendenhall.

MSM: If We Keep Saying It, Maybe You'll Believe It

Has any mainstream media story about Santorum, Gingrich, Bachmann, Perry, etc. ever announced that, of course, he or she cannot win the nomination, let alone the election? Yet, thanks to the memo that apparently went out, every single MSM broadside makes that ridiculous assertion about Ron Paul.

WaPo: 'Is Ron Paul Right?'

Writes Alexandra Petri:

If someone were visiting from outer space and got wind of the Republican primary and caucus results, he might be a tad bewildered by the coverage. "This is clearly a two-man race now," he'd say, waving a tentacle significantly. "There's only one candidate capable of a respectable showing on two separate occasions when everyone else but Mitt Romney struggled. Both times, he drew strong, passionate support, and landed in the top tier — a feat no one beside the front-runner could pull off. It's a two-man race now."

We earthlings would try to explain. "Ah," we'd say, "but — gee, look, uh, this — you're talking about Ron Paul."

"Why is the Mainstream Media not giving the man his due?" the alien would say, sounding a bit more like a Paul supporter every second. "Especially when polls indicate that if he ran as a third-party candidate, he'd pull in about 20 percent of the vote and change the game entirely."

Read the rest. And thanks to Floy Lilley.

Obama Wants To 'Shrink' Government?

Of course not, though the White House is portraying this powergrab as such. In fact, like the Bushite Department of Homeland Security, merging all the special-interest trade and business agencies is intended to increase federal power and reward the big corporations allied with it.

But still, such talk is a tribute to Ron Paul, and the revolution he is leading. What's next? Obama wanting to audit the Fed?

Spreading Paulian Influence

Writes Jerri Ward:

"Ron Paul's influence reached into the Texas Senatorial Primary race during the debate of the candidates last night.  Glen Addison, a Paulite candidate, brought up Ron Paul on the budget and foreign policy.  I expected that.  What I didn't  expect was candidate Craig James raving about Ron Paul's book End the Fed!  He told the audience not once but several times that they all needed to read End the Fed. This was in answer to a question about auditing the Fed and all of the candidates followed suit after James by bashing the Fed.   It was beautiful."

UPDATE from Jerri Ward:

"Here is the video of that question, beginning with Glenn Addison's awesome answer, then going to Craig James and the others."

Right Behind

Newt to be endorsed by war-lobby Evangelical novelist Tim LaHaye.

UPDATE LaHaye says that the dead Jerry "Jesus is pro-war" Fallwell also backs Newt.
