WHY ARE RON PAUL'S SUPPORTERS SO ANGRY?

By Pastor Chuck Baldwin

January 29, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

When Glenn Beck interviewed Congressman Ron Paul a few weeks
ago, he said that he had received death threats from people
purporting to be Ron Paul supporters.
I have heard other journalists make similar accusations
against Congressman Paul's supporters.
Of course, I have no way of knowing whether any of this
is true or not.
And neither does anyone else.

My own experience has been that Congressman Paul's supporters
have always demonstrated grace, patience, and courtesy.
I have met and worked alongside Ron Paul supporters in
at least four states, and I have never personally witnessed
any of the anger and bitterness of which they are accused.

Not that Ron Paul's supporters do not have reason to be angry.
They most certainly do. In fact, all of us should be angry.

Ron Paul's supporters have been subjected to the most overt
and outlandish brand of humiliation and censorship ever
seen in modern politics.
The cable news Republican Presidential debates have
been jokes.
For every one question (and usually a stupid, irrelevant
question at that) asked of Dr. Paul, the other participants
will get three or four. Maybe more.
Even though Ron Paul has received more money, more votes,
and more delegates than Rudy Giuliani, the press continues
to ignore Mr. Paul while showering Giuliani with coverage.

In addition, Ron Paul's own party continues to treat him
and his supporters as second-class citizens--or perhaps
even as aliens from a different planet.
They are subjected to insults of every type.
Not to mention enduring every conceivable method to censure
or remove Dr. Paul from the political process.
He has been denied access to platforms, excluded from
debates, removed from GOP Presidential lists, etc.,
ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

I say again: if anyone has a right to be angry, it is Ron Paul
supporters.
But perhaps the greater question is, Why are not all of us
angry?
No, I do not mean in a cruel or unkind way, but where is
our outrage for what the ruling elite are doing to our country?

We should all be angry at the way politicians lie to us,
deceive us, and manipulate us.
We should all be angry at the way both major parties have
completely ignored and trampled constitutional government.

Are we so gullible that we cannot see when a politician
says one thing to one group of people and a totally
opposite thing to another group of people?
Are we so naïve that we cannot tell when a politician
changes his beliefs simply in order to garner votes?

Come on folks, let's get real: do you really expect
John McCain to abandon his efforts to grant amnesty to
illegal aliens?
Do you really expect Mitt Romney to be a champion for
the unborn?
Do you really expect Mike Huckabee to suddenly be the
champion for limited government spending?
Do you really expect Rudy Giuliani to keep his pants zipped?

Have the American people become so numbed to truth and
reality that we cannot distinguish the genuine from
the phony--even when it stands right in front of us?
Perhaps so. However, if the American people had any of
the character and resolve of our forebears, we would
be steaming mad about what our political and business
leaders have done to our country.

Yes, we should be angry at the way our government
has repeatedly lied to us about the economy, about sending
our jobs and manufacturing industries overseas, about Iraq,
and about EVERYTHING!
Yes, dear friends, they lie to us about everything.
It has gotten to the point that, frankly, I believe
NOTHING the government tells us.
They have proven themselves to be totally disingenuous
and downright duplicitous.
And, frankly, I'm angry about it.

In addition, I can even understand whatever anger
and exasperation Ron Paul's supporters feel regarding
my fellow evangelical believers.
Today's Christians--and especially our pastors--have become
little more than toadies for the establishment elite.
They apparently have never read our U.S. Constitution,
Declaration of Independence, or Bill of Rights.
They are seemingly oblivious to our great American history
and heritage.
They seem to lack the most elementary understanding of
even the most basic American principles.

For example, it makes absolutely no sense that Christian
pastors would embrace the sudden pro-life candidacy of
Mitt Romney and reject the proven, twenty-year pro-life
record of Ron Paul.
It makes no sense that evangelical Christians would
embrace the pro-illegal amnesty, pro-McCain/Feingold,
pro-No-Child-Left-Behind, pro-gun control John McCain
and reject the proven, twenty-year no-amnesty, pro-freedom,
anti-No-Child-Left-Behind, pro-Second Amendment record of
Ron Paul.
It makes absolutely no sense that Christians would fall
for Mr. Big Government himself, Mike Huckabee, and reject
the champion of limited government, Ron Paul.

Beyond that, how is it that pastors and evangelicals
cannot see through the GOP's complicity in helping
to establish a Luciferian New World Order?
How can they be so blind and dumb regarding the global
machinations of the Council on Foreign Relations?
How can they not understand and reject the philosophy
emanating from the Trilateral Commission and Bilderburgers?

Ask the average pastor and Christian about the CFR,
the Trilateralists, or the Bilderburgers and they just
stare into space.
They are absolutely clueless.
Ask them about the burgeoning NAFTA superhighway,
North American Union, or Amero and they look stupefied.
Again, they are absolutely clueless.
And, yes, I am angry about it.
I am saddened and angered at the lack of knowledge,
perception, and discernment demonstrated by my
Christian brethren.

I believe with all my heart that if the pastors and
Christian people of America would come off their high
horse and start supporting the principles of liberty,
the U.S. Constitution, and limited government, not only
would there be a rebirth of freedom in America,
there would be a spiritual revival as well.

As it is, freedom-loving people cannot see past the
ignorance, elitism, and partisan phoniness of modern
Christians in order that they might see Christ.
The Scripture plainly says,
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
(II Corinthians 3:17)

When America's Colonial preachers and Christian people
fought for liberty and independence,
God gave us two Great Awakenings.

I believe another Great Revival would come to America,
if our Christians and pastors would stand on their hind
legs and once again fight for liberty and independence.
And, yes, I am also angry that they will not do that either.
