Ron Paul Wants to Save GOP from Republicans

Ron Paul tells the Very Serious People in the mass media what he thinks is going on with his beloved Republican Party.

“I think Republicans have dug a hole for themselves because they’re trying to out-militarize the President, saying we should do more,” he said on CBS News’ Face the Nation. “Yet 75 percent of the American people have said we’ve had enough, it’s cost us too much money, it’s time to come home.”

[...]

 “I am talking to a whole generation, which is expanding,” Paul said. “When I can get 52,000 people out on a college campus as wildly enthusiastic to hear the message of liberty and freedom and less war and curtailing the Federal Reserve, there is no way I’m going to quit speaking out on this and there is no way I’m going to give up on the effort to get the Republicans back to their roots.”

I digress.  First off, his speech is of "liberty and freedom," well, because he says it is.  When President Obama draws crowds of 50,000 or more, which he's done numerous times, it's not to hear the message of "liberty and freedom."  Oh no that is only for the Paultards.  They are the ones who get to decide what's liberty and what's freedom.  Banning all abortions and criminalizing people with vaginas, which is what Paul supports, is pure Liberty and Freedom.  

Whatever, my point in writing this is not to berate Paul's really screwed up ideology.  It's to hit Paul, and those who think he's some kind of Revolutionary Freedom Fighter, on his messed up version of Republican roots.

Paul fantastically states, "there is no way I'm going to give up on the effort to get the Republicans back to their roots."  What "roots" could he possibly be talking about?

Never in the modern history of the GOP is there any track record of shrinking government, cutting spending, ending wars, reining in the deficit or of doing anything to curtail the Federal Reserve.  In fact, the only audit ever of the Federal Reserve (a longtime issue for Paul) came at the helm of an entirely Democratic-controlled Congress.  It was passed solely because of Alan Grayson, of which Paul signed on.  But the "root" issue Paul claims to want to return to is completely a Democratic legislative victory and has nothing to do with Paul's precious Republican Party. 

The only "roots" for the GOP to return to are its widely popular platform of Equal Rights and racial equality from the second-half of the 19th century, of which Ron Paul would probably not support given that his son thinks the Civil Rights Act is unconstitutional.
