On Ron Paul Electability
« on: January 14, 2012, 09:55:10 AM »
Professor Steven Bates has a good although lengthy article on the Electability of R.P.

http://www.newswithviews.com/Yates/steven146.htm
the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.

Typical.  I think there was one line in there that was about the electability of RP, based upon the fact that he's managed to come in 2nd so far.  Other than that, the entire article was nothing but the author's reasons for supporting RP.

Actually a pretty good read!

I particularly enjoyed the line about "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"! Lotta truth in that line!
