The Defender of the Constitution

Ron Paul did not abandon his Libertarian principles when he joined the Republican party. The good people of the 14th District of Texas didn't hold it against him either. He doesn't march in step with the party line just because the President (or Karl Rove) says to. He rises above the name calling and questions why Congress would surrender its Constitutionally granted powers and cave in to a man that would be King of Democracy. With authoritarianism on the rise, all in the name of security, freedom as we know it may be gone. Not because of some foreign invader, but because Americans are ignorant of their rights under the Constitution.

So read his speech and ask yourself, "Does my Congressman represent me or his/her own aspirations for power?"

Thanks to Mike for bringing this speech to my attention.

I'm a stay-at-home Dad who survived dotcom burnout and a chemical engineering career that fizzled. While the kids are in school, I'm free to write stories.

I'm a rational environmentalist, science and technology enthusiast, who leans libertarian, reads and watches sci-fi, drinks and brews beer, and listens to metal.
