Entry: Ron Paul: It's Payback Time Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/ron_paul_its_payback_time#11257 Post contents: Sid Cundiff has some very interesting comments above discussing the history and effective demise (in his view) of paleoconservatism. The problem with paleoconservatism seems to be it always saw itself on the political margins. It was never ready for prime time.In fact, it never desired prime time. The American Conservative I would say has dispensed with "paleoconservatism" mostly distasteful (and politically problematic)elements such as racialism and kept the edginess that made it interesting in the first place. Ron Paul Revolution is allied to what is today labeled (though perhaps, as Cundiff asserts, this is incorrect) as "paleoconservatism", but there are definitely differences in vision and a somewhat different intellectual foundation. What Ron Paul and company are building is movement to embrace all of America and to support peace and liberty as preeminent values. We actually have a decent chance to accomplish this if we show foresight and keep working our tails off to build the movement. Sent at: 2008 05 15
