I'm a political junkie. I'm also a talk-radio junkie. As a life-long conservative, it's kind of ironic that the only time I ever actually called into a show was to argue with Alan Colmes way back in the early nineties. Yet, Alan Colmes has done a better job of defending Ron Paul than those who profess to be the so-called guardians of truth. Go figure.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard Limbaugh, Hannity, and many others on the right warning us about the “liberal playbook” and “the fax of liberal talking points” that goes out each morning to the "drive-by media". What utter hypocrisy.
How is it possible that not even one prominent high-profile conservative in talk-radio has openly supported Ron Paul when he's clearly the greatest advocate of true conservatism in the entire Republican party? I can only think of one thing that can account for it. They, too, are all marching in lockstep together, sharing the same playbook, and parroting the same talking points, because in reality, they're apparently just as corrupt and programmed as the people they seek to demonize hour after hour, day after day, on just about every talk radio station in the country. They can't legitimately blame it on his poll numbers because they would obviously be much higher if major players in the conservative media were actively recruiting on his behalf.
After all this nation has been through, we finally get a candidate with some genuine integrity that has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our constitution. And how do the champions of the right respond? They say, “Ignore that old kook and nominate a sleek, well-packaged, war-mongerer with the kind of machismo that we should all idolize.”
When I think about all the hours I’ve wasted listening to their rhetoric…and believing it…it makes me sick. Ron Paul doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. From now on, that's all I'll think about when I hear the talking heads on the right blathering on about “courage”. Give me a break.
