Writes Luis Almeida: “I wanted to share my thoughts on Jonah Goldberg’s article in the National Review. I think Goldberg highly underestimates ‘the left’s’ support of Dr. Paul.

“Mr. Goldberg implies that the left is supporting Ron Paul merely because his anti-war positions are convenient. He is mistaken. Ron Paul Democrats have come to a crystal clear understanding that the Constitution must be defended at all costs. We now truly understand that the Constitution grants and protects our Civil Liberties. Ron Paul has made us into defenders of the Constitution. Even at the cost of changing our view on roe v. wade or the right to bear arms.

“Ron Paul is the first conservative that rings true to a whole generation of ‘liberals’. He has dug up and shown us the root problem with America. What ails us is a blatant disregard for the Constitution. We can see that now. Sure, there are probably “liberal” Ron Paul supporters that are uncomfortable with a person’s right to bear arms, but that Ron Paul supporter now understands that the right to bear arms is protected by the Constitution. We understand that to erode that right is to erode the very document that grants us all our rights. We are now prepared to accept the responsibility of having to amend the constitution in order to change what we don’t like. At least Mr. Goldberg does not accuse us of being stupid, as Tucker Carlson recently did when he stated Dr. Paul’s support from the left is based on ignorance. We are neither ignorant nor looking for a candidate of convenience. We have digested Dr. Paul’s positions. We’ve adopted them and we are now staunch defenders of the Constitution.

“It is also very comforting to see Mr. Goldberg move on and defend war and deny the American empire. It reminds us Democrats of how sickened we were by people we thought were ‘republicans’. It reminds us that there are people still inside the bubble that are willing to argue that our Civil Liberties have not been eroded. People that are willing to bring up the Corn Laws of 1846 and forget to mention the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This nonsenses girds the loins of every revolutionary.”
