The integrity of Ron Paul can almost be measured by the hostility shown toward him by the Republicans, who seem to hate him more than Democrats do. The neo-cons definitely hate him more than the liberals do.

Your failure, Mr Wilson, to recognize or acknowledge, let alone support, Ron Paul, makes me wonder about your worthiness as a source for understanding, let alone improving, current events.

In 1860, the cockatrice, conceived in the very Constitution which should have been its bane, its embryo tucked in the hidden places of the “general welfare,” the so-called “elastic clause” and the extra-constitutional phenomenon known as the “implied powers, hatched from its egg in the form of Abraham Lincoln and his Republican Party. This cockatrice was the nascent empire, which by 1865, had murdered both manifestations of the Republic – these United States of America and these Confederate States of America. Dead the Republic lay in the ashes of total war. The wraith of the empire, not ready to reveal its true nature in an age which remained cautiously skeptical, animated the corpse of the murdered Republic and has so masqueraded ever since. Now it would seem, the skin is beginning to slip from the still rotting cadaver of the Republic and gaps in the putrefying flesh of the Republic are beginning to appear, exposing the demon within. Thus, we are on the cusp of despair and hope; for a demon exposed gets angry, rising up in his reality and revealing himself for what he is to destroy in terror and horror those who would dare openly oppose him; yet, revealed, the demon is known and in knowing the enemy, finally understanding what he really is, men of courage have an opportunity to slay him.

Or put into another metaphor. The leviathan is a two-headed monster – Democrat and Republican – bloating itself on the wealth produce by free men and consuming therewith their precious liberty as well.

By the way, the King-over-the-water LIVES! See http://www.jacobite.ca/kings/index.htm

So we Jacobites might better off then the French Legitimists. I’d take Josef Wenzel, Prinz von und zu Liechtenstein, for my king any day over our current leader and his would-be successors — or at least most of them: I kinda like Ron Paul.
