LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE GOP!
By Chuck Baldwin

I think it is time that we all stood up and gave the Republican Party a big
round of applause. I mean, they have done us all a huge favor. By an
overwhelming majority, the GOP has prevented a potential plague from
enveloping these United States of America, and I think it is time that we
acknowledged it. Yes, the GOP stopped a potential catastrophe. Without the
combined efforts of millions of Republicans, there is no telling what kind
of disaster might have ensued. Let's hear it for the GOP! Hip Hip Hooray!

For a few minutes there, I thought the GOP might have lost its mind, but I
am glad to report that all is well with the Republican Party. The
international bankers and oil companies, and the military-industrial
complex, as well as the presidents of Mexico and Canada, can breathe easy.
With John McCain as the presumptive Republican nominee, the globalist power
brokers who have dominated the last three Presidential administrations can
know that they are still in charge. There will be no changing of the guard
this November.

It was scary there for a while. You see, there was this kook who was running
for the Republican nomination that had the potential to upset the applecart
real good. But thankfully, the fine people within the GOP rose to the
occasion and beat back the attempts of his nutty supporters to vault him to
the nomination.

After all, just think what would have taken place if this kook Ron Paul had
won the Republican nomination for President. This nut case actually believes
that the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Imagine that.
That means he would never take America to war except with a Declaration of
War by Congress. Think how such a thing would prevent America's meddling and
interventionism worldwide. Think of the billions and even trillions of tax
dollars that would not need to be spent overseas. Think of how much money
Halliburton would lose. Think of how much money the Federal Reserve bankers
would lose by not being able to loan money to the U.S. government. It is too
ghastly to think about.

This Ron Paul kook would also have put a stop to the incessant spying on the
American people by their own federal government. Egad! This Paul character
would have set America back two hundred years. Think of it. No more illegal
wiretaps. No more reading private emails, letters, and telegrams. No more
harassment by the BATFE of law-abiding firearms dealers for honest errors in
paperwork. No more using the wars on "terror" and "drugs" to violate the
Fourth Amendment. Think of the money that would be lost by the feds not
confiscating the private property of the American people.

In addition, if this Ron Paul nut had actually become President, he might
have succeeded in abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and overturning
the Sixteenth Amendment. Holy Horrors! Can you imagine the tragedy that
would have ensued? No more income taxes. No more tax forms to fill out. No
more IRS agents arresting hard-working citizens for "tax evasion." No more
government tracking of our private financial transactions. Think of the US
attorneys whose services would no longer be necessary. Imagine that. The
federal government would actually be required to live within its means; it
could no longer raise taxes, because there would be no more taxes to raise.

And if all of the above is not bad enough, this Ron Paul kook would actually
demand that the federal government obey the Tenth Amendment. This, all by
itself, would reduce the size and scope of the federal government by at
least fifty percent. Imagine if the American people suddenly had the federal
government out of their pocketbooks and off their backs? What would they do
with all that newfound freedom? It is too scary to contemplate.

Do not worry, however. Thanks to the fine men and women of the Republican
Party, John McCain will carry their standard into the November elections.
Yes, my dear friends, David Rockefeller and his fellow travelers at the
Council on Foreign Relations can rest easy. Should McCain win the general
election, they will retain their influence in the White House. Indeed, we
can all rest easier knowing that John McCain will be the Republican nominee
for President.

And did I mention the advantage a John McCain Presidency will provide to
incumbents in future elections? Because John McCain does not believe in the
U.S. Constitution, the First Amendment means nothing to him. This is good,
because he can use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to promote his
McCain/Feingold bill that would make it illegal for citizens to voice their
concerns and opinions regarding the voting records of incumbents during a
general election. That means those sinister organizations such as the
National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America will no longer be able
to publicly promote their views regarding the anti-Second Amendment voting
records of congressmen and senators.

That Ron Paul kook would never have tolerated such a law as McCain/Feingold.
But thanks to the fine men and women of the Republican Party, we do not need
to worry about these little inconveniences such as the First and Second
Amendments (or any of the other articles within the Bill of Rights, for that
matter), because they wisely selected John McCain to be their
standard-bearer.

Furthermore, because the good men and women of the GOP decided to nominate
John McCain, we can look forward to one hundred years of war in the Middle
East. We can all anticipate the opportunity of sending our troops into
harm's way all over the world to promote the interests of international
corporations, nation-building, and other U.N. machinations.

Had that nut Ron Paul been elected, he would have practiced a
non-interventionist foreign policy. He would have sought peace with all
nations. And, instead of preemptively invading foreign countries, he would
have dealt constitutionally with terrorists, resulting in their capture or
death, the protection of America, the absence of long-term war, and the
respect of nations throughout the world. Furthermore, that nut Paul would
have refused to use U.S. forces to do the bidding of the United Nations and
other international entities.

However, we do not need to worry about old-fashioned, out-of-date ideas such
as constitutional government, conservative principles, or common sense,
because the fine men and women of the Republican Party wisely chose John
McCain as their presumptive Presidential nominee. Yes, indeed. Let's hear it
for the GOP!
