An American Lion

As soon as I see the words “Ron Paul” associated with something, I automatically know I’m going to be seeing asshattery and hearing things that are, at best, insane and, at worst, traitorous to the United States of America. I automatically know that I will hear things that have no truth to them, and will have no basis in fact or reason. It’s all made up, so someone can make money from fools. They used to call it mail fraud, whereby, a “Ron Paul” would create a newsletter, say ridiculous things, and get people to send him money. That’s all he is, nothing more.

The problem here is so basic as to not be believed. You cannot claim to be “defending” the Constitution of the United States while ignoring the fact that the Constitution defines the powers of the Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court and lays out the most basic tenet of our nation, which is that there shall be a President. Just because you don’t like who got picked to be the President does not mean you can act like a screaming titty baby and pretend you don’t have to do what he or she says. I believe they used to say “Love it or Leave it.” Never was that more appropriate.

The beauty of this country is that the President can’t tell anyone what to do unless the Constitution tells him that he can, and our Constitution makes it abundantly clear that there are precious few people he can actually order around—thereby preventing the sort of tyranny that caused the document to be written in the first place. Try reading it sometime.

Oh, and you asshats don’t own the Gadsden Flag, either. It’s not yours, and you can’t have it. It belongs to people who know what they’re talking about when they speak of limited government, the rule of law, and the early founding of the American Republic. It’s sacred, and you cannot appropriate it for your ridiculous fundraising scheme.
