Rand Paul’s recent endorsement of Mitt Romney has put the Paulbots into a tizzy, poor souls.
They should have seen it coming.
Not only was it quite obvious that Rand was a neocon and a corporatist, it’s also pretty clear that his father, although a more likeable and principled man, has been hitting everyone BUT Romney in his campaign.
Mark Ames of eXiled magazine, whom I’ve criticized for really vicious personal attacks, isn’t wrong when he writes about Paul’s peculiar softness on Romney. I’ve pointed this out myself on in the comment section of Economic Policy Journal.com. And I think Ann Coulter has also made similar points.
The end result of Paul’s campaign has been to line up Romney (Mr. Wall Street) against Obama (Mr. Main Street)….which suits the globalists fine.
Romney gets the nomination and the Dems get the target they want in a time of recession and Wall Street insider trading scandals.
My gut has been telling me for some time that the whole Ron Paul/Mises/Agora/extreme anti-government wing of libertarianism is peculiar.
It’s strikingly dominated/ by Zionist (North, Block/Schiff) intellectuals and businessmen (with plenty of Gentile faces out front, of course, to keep the rube patriot crowd happy). Note: there are many good guys in that group. This is just my perception of the overall direction of its advocacy.
It’s easy to check out on the web. Just google and pay no attention to cries of “anti-semitism” and “conspiracy theory” – follow the facts where they lead.
Then, there’s the campaign and manager Jesse Benton’s stunt of wrapping Ron Paul in Reagan’s mantle. That was a move that nobody really scrupulous would have made.
Paul repudiated Reaganism. He shouldn’t then try to cash in on his association.
Altogether too slick for my taste.
Then there was that double-billing for air travel that went on for years.
Minor…probably accidental, sure…. but troubling.
And then there’s this, also from Ames.
Ames finds it suspicious that there’s a Paul SuperPac in Utah that seems to have been founded by a business partner of governor Jon Huntsman’s:
“Huntsman endorsed Mitt Romney when he bowed out of the race—in fact, Huntsman has a history of stepping aside for Mitt Romney and playing his second banana, going back at least to the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, which John’s billionaire dad helped to fund on behalf of Mitt Romney.
So to repeat: Ron Paul’s SuperPAC is based in Salt Lake City, and one of the founders is Ladd Christensen, John Huntsman’s business partner in Huntsman-Christensen and Huntsman Chemicals.
Nothing to see here folks, keep moving along…”
Huntsman, in case you didn’t know it, was the choice of Lynn Rothschild.
I’ll leave it at that. Might be something there. Might not.
Lots of people found firms in Utah. It’s a popular incorporation state for some things.
Back to the Rand Paul endorsement (?):
Have to say the Paulbots had it coming. They were acting just like the left, swarming on people on the net with absurd denunciations, excommunications, and inquisitions, rantin’ and ravin’ like some hick Bible-thumper with the heathen.
So, suck it up, fellas. Idolatry ain’t libertarian….or Christian.
And it sure ain’t smart.
