'Ron Paul, Phony Populist'

Of course, Ron is the one real populist in the race, always appealing to the people over the heads of the establishment and its media, but  Gary Weiss can't stand it. According to Gary, commenting on Ron's inclusion of OWS protesters at a NH speech:

"It was a masterful performance. Ron Paul — fraudulent populist, friend of the oligarchy, sworn enemy of every social program since Theodore Roosevelt — had won the day, again."

Of course, social programs were invented by oligarchs like Bismarck, Teddy, and FDR, or tools of the oligarchy like LBJ and Nixon, to enlarge and enrich the state and its plutocratic masters, and to make the people more dependent and therefore less troublesome. The Koch Bros. are anti-Ron; George Soros, too.

Oh, and another thing wrong with Ron, according to Weiss: the Old Right was against The Good War. See, some world wars, and their 50 million corpses, are wonderful. So we are enjoined to fear the peacemaker, and demonize him, by a guy who allegedly agrees with Ron's foreign policy. (Thanks to Saleh Abdullah)

Spend Your Christmas Vacation With Ron Paul

From Bob Wenzel:

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul's campaign is increasing its efforts in early voting states by recruiting college-aged supporters to spend their "Christmas Vacation with Ron Paul" as part of a get-out-the-vote program. The campaign is asking students to devote their holiday break working for the campaign in Iowa (Dec. 27 - Jan. 4, 2012) and New Hampshire (Jan. 2-11) while providing meals, lodging and transportation, reports NBC's Anthony Terrell.

As part of the selection process, an online questionnaire asks applicants their views on public policy positions using a rating scale of 1 - 5 (from strongly agree to strongly disagree) answering statements like: The 9/11 attacks were carried out by Islamic extremists connected to Al Qaeda who were the sole perpetrators of the damage that day; after a complete audit of the Federal Reserve, the Fed should be abolished; cannabis should be legalized for recreational use; and preemptive, unilateral military action is never an appropriate policy for the U.S.

DC Must Rule the Globe

How dare Ron Paul question the US empire, its constant wars, its perpetual interventions, its mountain of skulls, says a well-paid spokesmen for the merchants of death. Doesn't Ron know that his ideas are influencing more and more people, especially young people? Doesn't Ron realize that peace is subversive and war is wonderful? (Thanks to Brad Funkhouser)
