Paul Endorses Constitution Candidate Baldwin

September 24th, 2008 axiomatic, political

Dr. Paul is continuing to oppose the dangerous status quo platforms of the major candidate(s) by endorsing Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party. My initial reaction is to do whatever Ron Paul says, but that’s the last thing Ron Paul would want me to do! So my research continues. Honestly, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with my vote yet, but I’m quite convinced it’s not going to Dumb or Dumber. Meanwhile, here are some jewels from G. K. Chesterton circa 1920:

While the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.

He is a very shallow critic who cannot see an eternal rebel in the heart of a conservative.

When men have come to the edge of a precipice, it is the lover of life who has the spirit to leap backwards, and only the pessimist who continues to believe in progress.

The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.
