Jim says there’s a good article here on National Review Online that dreams of what a Ron Paul presidency would look like.
There are some new videos from the San Antonio rally and fundraiser at RonPaulAustin.com
Ronald would like to encourage us to vote in this online straw poll at Freedomworks.com
And DuffOMelia sends along that he (?) has recently set upthis site showing Meetup & YouTube Stats. Guess who’s ahead?
And finally, this amazing video: Calling out Rudy and Mitt. Not your standard fare, and don’t watch if you’re offended by profanity. But he makes some great points - e.g. “Republicans don’t want to participate in the YouTube debates because they’re scared - they only want Fox News & Wolf Blitzer to ask them easy questions that will make them look good,” and “If [Republicans] don’t want to participate in the YouTube debates and answer questions from the public, then how will they treat the American people once they become president?” But the real reason? “The real reason they’re scared is because they don’t want to face Ron Paul.”

The Fear Factor
by Ron Paul
July 30, 2007
While fear itself is not always the product of irrationality, once experienced it tends to lead away from reason, especially if the experience is extreme in duration or intensity. When people are fearful they tend to be willing to irrationally surrender their rights.
Thus, fear is a threat to rational liberty. The psychology of fear is an essential component of those who would have us believe we must increasingly rely on the elite who manage the apparatus of the central government.
The statement “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” has been attributed to Benjamin Franklin. It is clear, people seek out safety and security when they are in a state of fear, and it is the result of this psychological state that often leads to the surrender of liberty.
