While some folks were attending or watching the GOP national convention, others were attending or watching (on C-SPAN2) the Rally for the Republic. A three day convention in another part of Minneapolis, Ron Paul supporters rallied around the U S Constitution.
Tonight, Ron Paul closed out the convention with his best speech of the year - a towering home run for freedom. The ten thousand or so present cheered and shouted their approval. The Revolution lives!
Dr. Paul rightly pointed out that there is no significant difference between major party candidates on foreign policy. Each favors more troops in Afghanistan. Each favors withdrawing combat troops from Iraq but leaving a large military base there for years to come. Each favors pouring dollars into Georgia. Each favors maintaining U S military bases around the world. Each favors defending Israel. Each opposes Iran having nuclear weapons. Each wants to continue the ‘war on terror.’ There is no significant difference.
Ron Paul held up the Constitution and it’s promises of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He touted individual freedom, industry and civil liberty. A humble foreign policy, a sane monetary policy, a strong defense without nation building, and a firm reliance on the principles of the intent of the Founders expressed in our U S Constitution were lifted up as right, urgent and necessary.
His Rally for the Republic was fun to watch. The Revolution - the call to return to Constitutional government - lives and is gathering strength.
Go Ron!
