cheesy ron paul poem

[GoodCallYouWin]

He stood on the stage
And he was unafraid
To speak truth to power.
He was unafraid,
To be different, not to be different but because he was different.
And oh they laughed,
Rudy McRomney,
They spoke with contempt and derision,
And childish attitudes
How did he find the strength?
I am happy he did.

In another day, another age, perhaps that would have been the end of it.
Perhaps he would have gone home,
And no one would have heard his words of bravery.
But it is not another day,
It is today.
And we are all very grateful he spoke.
For years I had not believed,
That it was possible to walk the corridors of power,
And still speak the truth.

Borrowing on the wisdom of Austrian Economics
and the Constitution of the United States,
He stood and exposed their lies,
Their fear mongering,
Their pathetic attempts to gain ever more power.
The Champion of the Constitution Indeed

Ron Paul

You have already won.
These idiots will be forgotten in a day or a month
But you will lead us for the rest of our lives.

Indeed, the constitution was designed enstilling fear of the "beastly" majority and to give the "opulent minority" more power. Oh wait that's not what it meant.

There once was a man called Ron Paul
Who didn’t like taxes at all
He gave a good speech
Yet his goal was out of reach
And his opponents had quite a ball

Um, if you include one more line it's clear that he borrows wisdom from the U.S. Constitution. Seriously man, wtf?

LOL. What is it that makes these hacks feel the need to take flagrantly ridiculous cheap shots at Paul in a thread clearly intended to be "ha, nice poem" or "ya, that was corny."

This particular attempt makes so little sense that I feel wrong even dignifying it with a response. But it just amuses me how negative a mindset some people must have that they insist on crashing a light-hearted thread with inane assertions.

I was implying that burrowing wisdom from the US constitution whilst attacking government power is an oxymoron as the constitution was designed for that in mind.

"They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority." James Madison

The fact that you failed to picked up on my sarcastic/jokey tone and was subsequently upset by my post is somewhat worrying. Implying that the racist pamphlets were "brave" is clearly a joke, though, in all seriousness if he didnt write them himself it is quite brave of him to enstil his trust in people who would, in his name, write such filfth on his behalf.

[/ QUOTE ]

The government is there to protect the rights of the minority as much as it is there to protect the rights of the majority. There's nothing in your quote that implies the minority of the opulent is or should be the government.

What he was trying to express was much more eloquently put by Franklin, ""Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."

[zasterguava]

The fact that it's James Madison and it regards specifically the constitution implies that the quote regards that it is governments role to protect " the minority of the opulent" against the beastly majority.
