Paul Will Not Appall

It is incredible to me that there is even a hint of tut-tutting about Ron Paul's refusal to endorse John McCain. Basically, it reflects a total failure to even vaguely perceive the significance of Paul's campaign, or of his ideas. "Oh yeah, I guess he was just another dude with a slightly different point of view, and why can't he get with the program and endorse a guy who -- from his point of view -- is not one iota better than Hillary or Obama or anyone else who might have been nominated?" These people just don't get it -- which, I guess, is one reason why Paul's percentages more or less topped out in Idaho with 24%. So 24% of Idaho Republicans "get" what Ron Paul is all about. Thank goodness _someone_ does! Everyone else is just part of that gray, brain-dead mass, like the underground workers in "Metropolis" -- slogging along with an existence about as exciting as unsalted oatmeal, and phobic to the point of hysteria about any discussion of real freedom.
