Comments on: Let Freedom Ring http://larison.org/2007/11/12/let-freedom-ring/ n. the principle of good order "Observe the strange inversion of all order and sense! Dignity debased; how vilely is the function of a consul prostituted!" ~The Craftsman Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:59:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: walt http://larison.org/2007/11/12/let-freedom-ring/#comment-8094 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:44:55 +0000 http://larison.org/2007/11/12/let-freedom-ring/#comment-8094 Ron Paul is this campaign's Jesus of the Week. He's the answer to an incoherent but deeply felt question: if everyone is corrupt, how do you find the only honest politician and elect him president? His purity is a direct function of an otherworldly ideology. There may be who hunger for 19th century verities in this dark age of ours, but probably not enough to break 5% in a national election. Still, we can look on the bright side. Paul will be the vehicle for a new generation to explain reality in the lexicon of feverish oversimplification. Evil is everywhere! Return to purity! Repent and vote! Ron Paul is this campaign’s Jesus of the Week.
