The Conservative Case for Ron Paul

It's an outright crime that the mainstream conservatives will not back Ron Paul. I used to think that the right didn't like him simply because of Iraq. How silly I was. It's obvious that the real reason the right doesn't like him is because he is the only candidate who actually cares about limiting the power of the federal government.

Maybe I should get out some tinfoil and make a hat, but I'm finally starting to understand what Pat Buchanan means when he talks about "neo-cons."

NOT that any of the Democratic candidates are any better. They are too busy tripping over each other to see who can be the biggest socialist.

This could very well be the only chance we'll get to save this great nation.

If Ron Paul doesn't get through the GOP Primaries, capitalism is dead. It's that simple. Whether it's a quick shot to the back of the head from Hilly/Obama, or a slow painful death from the current band of idiots in charge of the Republican party. Without a true conservative like Paul, capitalism, and the freedom it brings to the world, will be a thing of the past.

Here's an article on lewrockwell.com about why the right should embrace Dr. Paul:

First of all, he is no flip-flopper: the man has principles and actually sticks to them – not a common feature nowadays. Second, he is truly committed to cut back government; we can trust by his record that he’ll never flip-flop on this. The man really believes in small government.

Third, Ron Paul is a true fiscal conservative when fiscal conservatism is most needed. The whole world is flooded with fiat money and national debts keep going up and up like there is no limit. That’s a point very important for conservatives – and no candidate is more reliable on this than Ron Paul.

Fourth, he is the one candidate who both understands and follows the Constitution. They don’t call him the "Champion of the Constitution" for nothing. Again, the Constitution is very important for conservatives. Actually, the Constitution is even more praised by conservatives than by libertarians – who sometimes view it as already too much centralization. Anyhow, even for those who feel that way, they can all agree that getting back to the Constitution is a huge advance toward small government – an advancement that Ron Paul will bring.

Fifth, Ron Paul's opposition to the war is very different than the regular liberal opposition to the war. Some liberals are against the war because, deep down, they just don’t like America that much – and this is what drives conservatives crazy. Ron Paul, however, is no liberal; actually, he is a true American Patriot, and his opposition to the war is driven by nothing less than concern for his own country.
