    Superb article on the REAL political battle of our times

    I'm prejudiced, I'm a Ron Paul supporter. But this article gives an excellent, honest look at how and why millions of Americans of all political persuasions are finding common ground in the libertarian ideals of Ron Paul.

    We are sick of endless war and bloody empire. Sick of seeing our Bill of Rights gutted and destroyed. Sick of seeing an emerging American police state. Sick of state-sanctioned torture and secret gulags. Sick of gigantic, overbearing, tyrannical State power intruding into every aspect of our personal and economic lives.

    Sick, in short, of the Republicrat Death Machine.

    Sure, Paul supporters may disagree among themselves over privatizing the Post Office and things like that.

    But the real political battle in America today is Liberty versus Empire. It's one versus the other.

    The Ron Paul Revolution is the opening salvo in this great political battle. And it won't be the last.
