At a minimum, Dr. Paul was very foolish for allowing others to write bad things in his name. Everyone seems to agree with that. So, let’s condemn him, rightly, for his mistake.
Now, let’s take a look at the log in our own eye.
“We the people of the United States…” Here are some of the things that we allow to be done in OUR name that go far beyond expressing impolite thoughts.
- Starving the children of Iraq
- Bombing the people of Iraq
- Supporting the dictator of Pakistan
- Raiding medical clinics in California and stealing sick people’s medicine
- Counterfeiting
- Taxation
- Torture
We vote, we accept the outcomes of elections, we pay our taxes without protest; we add our affirmation that this is a legitimate government. I hear all the time about the difference between the government of the united States and the people of the united States, but look whose name is at the top of the founding document.
