After reading the reviews of CPAC it has become incredibly clear. There seems to be a double standard in the air. I found a million articles regarding the vote for Ron Paul and how the CPAC has been hijacked by young libertarian crazy kids, that nobody can take CPAC serious, and even boos when the most conservative loyal member of congress was voted by the largest majority in CPAC history as the best Candidate for the President of the United States.
In the same event however, Glenn Beck made a glowing speech to which nearly had the crowd in tears. It was as if Obama was speaking that day in Denver, however this time it was Glenn Beck. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the speech, and also enjoy watching Beck. He is refreshing to see on the mainstream media.
My point is the double standard of the Republican party. Maybe I am the only person who noticed, but Beck has basically taken the Ron Paul and John Stossel playbook and run with it. What does Glenn Beck who gets standing ovations offer at the same place where Ron Paul receives boos? Is it crazy to think that the Republicans would love to have Glenn run for office, or is he too insane and libertarian? My question is not to tear down Glenn, but on what platform or issue does everyone love Glenn and not Ron?
I have watched Glenn evolve closer and closer to a true libertarian’s view of how politics should be. He has gone through that process the same way everyone eventually does. At this moment the only difference of views between the two comes down to foreign policy. Recently I have been hearing Glenn moving inline with that as well. Glenn has become the full blown libertarian that Mike Huckabee hates, and I say good.
My point of this post is that if you love Glenn Beck and think his ideas can help America, then maybe you should consider Ron Paul is probably where he learned it. Though Ron Paul is may not ever be president, he has changed the way young people think. He has given capitalism a lifeline which it desperately needs. He has been grooming the next generation, that will need to lead us out of our road to serfdom. He is the father of the Tea Party to which Republicans are forever in debt to him.
As the idiots in charge of the GOP keep arguing for a bigger tent, America has said the opposite. American’s are mad how both parties are spending. If you say you don’t believe in Socialism, than Libertarian seems to be the only option.
