    Why Does The Establishment Hate Ron Paul?

    Why Does The Establishment Hate Ron Paul?
    By Pastor Chuck Baldwin
    January 8, 2008
    NewsWithViews.com

    What is it about Ron Paul that the Establishment finds so disturbing? This is a man who perhaps personifies Christian character and integrity, American patriotism, and family values more than any other public figure. Ron Paul is a committed family man whose marriage to Carol has lasted for more than 50 years. He is a lover of families and children. As an OB/GYN physician, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies into this world. His life demonstrates a commitment to life and marriage.

    Furthermore, Ron Paul's devotion to Christ is very personal and deep. Unlike many politicians (especially in the Republican Party), Ron Paul does not wear his religion on his sleeve. He doesn't need to. Anyone who knows him knows his faith is exhibited on a daily basis. His life and family are testaments to his Christian faith.

    Beyond that, Ron Paul's record in Congress is so unblemished, so honest, so full of integrity that it is difficult to describe. This is a man who actually takes his oath to the Constitution (an oath every congressman, senator, and President also takes--but then ignores) seriously. So much so that he has never voted to raise taxes, never voted for an unbalanced budget, never voted for a congressional pay raise, never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership, and never voted to increase the power of the executive branch of the federal government.

    In addition, Ron Paul has never taken a government-paid junket. Even though he is a 10-term congressman, he is not accepting a government pension. He also returns a portion of his office budget every year to the taxpayers. No wonder Ron Paul was declared to be the "Taxpayer's Best Friend."

    Now, how in the name of common sense can a man such as Ron Paul be hated? Maybe it is because he is a man of integrity and honesty. Remember, our Lord said that men who love darkness hate the light. And if there is a word that describes the Establishment in America today, it is DARKNESS.

    Name it: the establishment Democrat and Republican Parties, the establishment media, the establishment financial institutions, and even the establishment churches all seem to be run by people who exude the power of darkness. It should not surprise us, therefore, when a man arises who personifies the light of integrity and honesty, that the powers that be should hate him--and hate Ron Paul they do.

    Conservative Republican Ron Paul is loathed as much by members of his own party as he is by liberal Democrats . Even though he is the epitome of a Christian gentleman, Ron Paul is despised by Christians and pastors as much as he is by pagans--maybe more. The media despises him--especially Fox News. The so-called conservative Fox News celebrity Sean Hannity practically goes ballistic at the mere mention of Dr. Paul's name.

    Ron Paul has been categorized with the Ku Klux Klan, brothel owners, and Skin Heads. He has been called practically every name in the book. Conservatives and liberals alike rail against Dr. Paul in a manner never seen before in modern politics. Again, why does the Establishment hate him so much? I'll tell you why.

    The Establishment hates Ron Paul because his honesty and integrity expose the rest of them for the moral reprobates they are. Their own conscience cannot bear the sight of him. His very presence condemns them. Their personal greed and ambition cringe at the very thought of Ron Paul. If Dr. Paul became President, the Gig would be up! It would be Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday at Tombstone all over again. They know it, and they will fight like mad to keep their corrupt stranglehold on American politics.

    Another reason the Establishment hates Ron Paul is because he is a true American--and there are not very many true Americans left in Washington, D.C., these days. You see, Ron Paul has read and studied American history. He understands constitutional government. He knows what real money is--and is not. As historian and author Thomas DiLorenzo said, Ron Paul is a modern-day Thomas Jefferson. (See his column here )

    Unfortunately, most of what we have in Washington, D.C., these days (in both parties) is a bunch of internationalists who cannot see past their own selfish interests. They are consumed with greed and power. They are slaves to Big Business and special interest groups. They are petty, shallow hirelings who care nothing for constitutional government, the principles of liberty, or the American people. To them, Ron Paul represents everything they hate: limited government, freedom, selflessness, humility, and integrity.

    Furthermore, Ron Paul is not interested in creating a world empire. Neither is he a warmonger. He would squash the burgeoning New World Order in its tracks--and the globalists ensconced in Washington and New York City know it.

    There is only one Presidential candidate who would bring a modern-day revolution to Washington, D.C., and it is not Barack Obama or Mike Huckabee. It is Ron Paul. Obama and Huckabee--along with the rest of the Democrat and Republican contenders--are only more of the same. The same Nanny State, the same unconstitutional laws and regulations, the same advances toward global government, the same attacks against individual liberties, the same arrogance, the same hypocrisy, the same social programs, the same back-breaking taxes, the same jack-booted federal police tactics, the same IRS, the same lobbyists, and the same corrupt Washington politics.

    That the Establishment would hate Ron Paul should not surprise us. It does not even surprise me that many pastors and Christians despise Ron Paul. (After all, many of them still worship at the altar of George W. Bush.) What is yet to be seen is, How will the American people receive him? His strong showing in Iowa surprised most of the "experts." I believe he will do even better in New Hampshire today. How Dr. Paul's campaign fares in future primaries is still to be seen.

    Should Ron Paul fail in his bid to become the Republican Party's Presidential nominee, I believe it is critically important that he continue his bid as a Third Party candidate. His campaign is more than a campaign--it is a movement. People by the thousands and money by the millions is pouring in, and it will continue to pour in all the way to the general election. It is essential that Ron Paul stays in the race all the way to November.

    Remember, when Abraham Lincoln won in 1860, there were four strong Presidential candidates, and Lincoln won with just 39% of the popular vote. With New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seriously considering an independent bid for the White House, and if Ron Paul, likewise, runs as a Third Party candidate, 2008 could see another race with four strong Presidential contenders. In such a case, anything is possible--including a Ron Paul victory.

    The fact is, Ron Paul does not need the support of the Establishment to win. With God's help--and with the help of millions of fed-up and tireless average Joes--anything is possible. Anything.

    Here is another thing: the fact that the Establishment hates Ron Paul so much must mean that there is ample reason for ordinary people like you and me to love him!

    And, the fact that he represents a true threat to the political machine's status quo. For this fact alone, I really like RP.

    Me, too.

    The fact that the media tried to label him a kook and when that didn't work, they label his followers kooks. If he wins an online poll, his followers are just spamming the system. IF he wins a straw poll, it was rigged. A pundit called him a liar about the super highway and pretended he was just nuts. When all that fails, they just try to exclude him and keep his message from getting out.

    That should outrage every American whether you believe in his message or not.

    It should make every American wonder about why they want to silence him?

    Because Ron Paul stands for the American people. The "establishment" has other plans for the future of our country, and they can't afford a president that won't go along with their plans.

    I agree too!

    I voted for badnarik in 2004.
    I am voting for Ron Paul in 2008.
    We have got to stop the madness.

    Things Ron Paul can get done his first year.

    Get the troops home and some on the border and stop the illegal madness. Huge savings and turn around in the economy within 6 months. Important to note the economy would be the right economy which is Americans economy and not the global elites economy.
    2 problems solved right there.

    Get the border fence built, I'd love to get a job building that fence! Good employment right there.

    Address the currency and federal reserve problem, which immediately reverses the dollar decline and starts swinging back up, no need for the Amero.

    Stop all wasteful spending and attack the debt aggresively. Take the war money left over from the border and fence operation and make a $100 billion payment on the deficit which would save about $290 million per month in interest. In turn the dollar value starts rising immidiately so the dollar now buys more with less when it comes to trade.

    With agressive and Fair trade there would be more competetion for fewer dollars which means lower prices we pay. Immidiate benefit.

    Bring troops home from the rest of the world instantly saving Billions of dollars.

    Withdraw funding from special interest and thousands of groups working against American interest. Saving $200 million.

    With the illegals gone and Americans making a real paycheck again after a year or so, Americans can then start to dig out of debt and start saving again. I'm sure if we dig ourselves out of this debt people are going to be more frugal than before since alot of people have seen a personal depression.

    The companies will all complain because they will have to pay better wages and they will claim they will be forced out of business but the fact is if you were making 50K a month with illegals and now your only going to make 30K a month, are you going to go out of business and not make any money? Or are you going to make 30K a month? Your going to make 30K a month! Everyone needs to learn from this experience, including mr greedy employers. Plus, now that the American worker will finally have some money I think there would be a great explosion in the economy with consumers being able to buy things again which means more business and more income for the businesses. And if Ron Paul could get rid of the IRS, there would be a economic boom like we've never seen because people will have alot more to spend and save! Its all a circle dude! Thats whats great about Ron Paul, He actually wants the common man to prosper and when that happens, the money then gets flowed to the businesses, thats the way it should work instead of business dominating everything and holding the people down. Its been going backwards so we can be controlled, no more!


    I'd say we could do quite well and within a year we could make some real headway out of this hole we're in.

    We've got to get Ron Paul elected!
    Unless we get those criminals & make them pay for what they have done to our country and the lawlessness they have sponsored, we are just another Mexico ourselves!
