Ron Paul Debates the Frankenstein Monster

DIGG THIS

Would the Pope agree to debate an atheist? Well, Roman Catholics (like me) already know the answer to that one. I think even atheists, deep down, know the answer, too. The Pope's decision would be a model of clarity: No.

But, the politically-correct crowd is bound to ask: How come? Is the Pope opposed to "ecumenism" or something?

Well, fundamentally, yes. After all, it's arguable that a principled person could never truly embrace the relativism inherent in a philosophy of ecumenism.

Today's almost panicky enforcement of ecumenism in all things is among modernism's most tyrannical by-products. Here's my definition of ecumenism – a worldwide movement committed to making the Devil feel better about himself.

Nonetheless, all this presents a quandary: Aren't we, by refusing to publicly confront a dangerous opponent, forgoing an opportunity to bring others to our cause?

By now, it should be plain to anyone with even modest media-antennae, that someone out there has been having a head-to-head battle with the most monstrous foe of America's freedoms, and by doing so, gaining converts left and right. And that someone is – Ron Paul.

Political debating in today's goose-stepping environment contains a bold warning-label, one that embodies a unique, neo-con-ized twist on ecumenism: Only candidates who pay obeisance to the Frankenstein Monster are welcome. Everyone else must prepare to be slandered and marginalized.

"Everyone else" being, again, Ron Paul.

So, what's all this about the Frankenstein Monster? Remember him? He's that quasi-human atrocity, pieced-together with body-parts from stolen corpses, including a brain from a criminal. He terrorizes the countryside, and tales of his horror and disruption have spread to the four corners of the earth.

Sounds remarkably like a description of the Federal Reserve.

So, who has Ron Paul actually been debating all this time? Well, it hasn't been his Republican opponents.

Dr. Paul has been debating (very successfully) his, and America's, most evil nemesis – Franken-Fed, the economic undead, financial adviser to Satan, destroyer of the middle-class, hypnotizer of politicians, godfather of the mass-media, master of the inflationary universe, promoter of social decay, purveyor of paper-or-plastic, and history's most gifted warmonger.

To insure that the playing-field is as uneven as possible, Franken-Fed's acolytes have even established special rules-of-engagement for debating their soulless master.

First of all, acknowledging Franken-Fed's "usefulness" in working so hard to "manage" the economy is an absolute must.

You're allowed, occasionally, to question his policies (very gently). And, sometimes, you're even permitted to suggest ways to help him bail out his friends. But, never, ever, under any circumstances, are you permitted to threaten Franken-Fed, much less to condemn him to the hell he so richly deserves.

And the final proscription? It's the most important one of all: When Franken-Fed wants to go to war, you'd better not give him any resistance. Because, if you do, he'll accuse you of giving aid and comfort to those persons opposed to his dictatorial ambitions – terrorists.

Ron Paul (unlike the Pope) can't (and doesn't) refuse, on sheer principle, to be drawn into a debate with the Devil, even though the debate itself is a game where the Devil is allowed to write the rules.

What other politician in recent memory (or in any kind of memory) has jumped so boldly, and so unafraid, into the fray? It's truly heartwarming to observe just how "un-ecumenical" our Good Doctor really is. And Americans are taking note…in a big way.

And guess what? The establishment is noticeably less steady on its feet since Dr. Paul (the real Dr. "No!") stepped into the ring. Why? Because he has landed some staggering blows squarely to the jaw of The Monster.

But, beware. The Beast's frustration is rising. By the day.

Ron Paul is not an opponent of any political party. He is not an adversary of individual politicians. He represents an enemy of a system of financial power which, by its very nature, is antithetical to basic American freedoms.

I believe that Ron Paul, and we, are on the path to victory against The Monster. Let us remind ourselves, however, of one of The Beast's least ingratiating traits – his ability to rise from the ashes.

Remember the old Frankenstein movies? Just when the poor villagers thought they were free – it was déjà vu all over again. Back to the torches and pitchforks.

But the villagers repeatedly took their (always temporary) freedom for granted, and routinely paid the price for their lack of vigilance. Their message for us? The American Revolution is, indeed, a process, not an event.

Ron Paul has been standing-guard for our freedoms, now, for many-a-year. And every day, thousands more Americans are joining him on the ramparts.

All of us are duty-bound to continue to spread his message, both far and wide.

These days, with Dr. Paul on-call, the Devil is definitely not feeling better about himself.

In fact, he's worried like hell.
