Entry: Who's the Real Peace Candidate? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/whos_the_real_peace_candidate#1361 Post contents: Doubtless the powers that be have the means to keep themselves such, insisting it a given we are obliged to an empire whose sons (& daughters) are to die ad infinitum in pursuit of such glory. Yet since that is their position, and the position of every candidate save Paul that the powers are offering, and since all that is so manifestly antipathetic to the good of the American people themselves, perhaps there is a doubt. Only Paul has understood the folly of this nonsense from the start, & only he proposes a principled alternative to it. Given that all the others are but a collective gaggle & will continue to be so, surely it is just possible Americans might recognize this and vote their own interests once the season begins in earnest next year. Should they, then said powers will throw everything they can at Paul – in the end not impossibly including bullets if nothing else works – but though I suppose only prayer can protect him from the latter, one wonders if his homespun want of "charisma" might not even prove to his advantage. Since Paul's motivations are patriotic & not personal, it could be that this too will resonate against the pathetic glitz of his opponents. Inasmuch as managing our descent into empire is the only other concern, talk that Paul can't be elected is surely premature. Regardless, it is obvious there is nothing of even remote interest in the coming election, except for Paul's candidacy. And none for the republic either, save to put him in the White House. That, allow me to suggest, ought accordingly to be the concern of any Taki reader, or any other patriot. Sent at: 2008 07 09
