Entry: The Ron Paul Revolution Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_ron_paul_revolution#8707 Post contents: Peter, Just one moment!...please go back and re-read some of the earliest postings I made RE Franco and Spain. Recall that I was very critical of Franco, while praising Spanish Carlism (about which I have also written somewhat extensively). The Carlists supported a traditional monarchy, regionalism, and were opposed to both liberal democracy AND over-centralized government (which was, in effect, another product of liberalism). So, I don't mind you criticizing me, but don't put words in my mouth, okay? There are, I would certainly agree, times when dictatorship is a legitimate option, in fact, perhaps the only option. But after the conclusion of the Spanish "Cruzada" of 1936-39, and perhaps a short period of transition, the Generalissimo should have turned authority over to a constituent Cortes, elected in the traditional manner (by professions and classes), to complete the instauration of a traditional Catholic monarchy. Instead, he turned Spain into a bureacratic pyramid, that, beginning in 1953, plaqued its troth to the Masonically-controlled destinies of NATO and American foreign policy. Pedro Cardinal Segura denounced the arrival of both Ameican-style mangerial "democracy" and "coca cola" culture at the time, and was ridiculed...but in the long run, he was proven correct. And now, the logical conclusion of this process: a left-wing socialism in power, gutting what is left of Spanish tradition. I will admit that I am uneasy with both extreme libertarianism and unfettered capitalism, just as I am with big-scaled centralized government. But just as anti-democratic Carlists, Action Francaise, Integralismo Lusitano, etc. partisans in Europe favored an historic regionalism, so I favor--like the Southern Agrarians---regionalism and a kind of "Ameican Distributism" here on this side of the pond. Ron Paul is certainly not perfect, but he comes closer than any of the other candidates from any number of viewpoints. Finally, that you could suggest me supporting Rudy Giuliani, as a Catholic [!!!!], simply boggles the mind. You certainly intended that comment in jest...Giuliani is an apostate, big government, pro-abortion, pro-gay, "Israeli First," globalist democrat. No way in or on God's green earth....
