The Revolution is NOT About Ron PaulMilo Nickels, Contributor I immediately felt like Id been simultaneously kicked in the gut, stabbed in the back, and sold down the river. Yes, the endorsement made me angry. The realization that Ron Paul, himself, must have given his blessing to the endorsement made me feel ill. I scoured the Internet looking for answers to some burning questions. Why did Rand Paul endorse Romney? Have they made some shady backroom deal? Was Ron Paul in on it? Had I been played for a fool? Have I been wrong all along? Although I havent found the answers to those specific questions, Ive found something far more valuable. Ive found that the liberty movement is still going strong. I am not alone and neither are you. The blogosphere is ablaze with negative talk of Rand Paul and Ron Paul, calling them sell-outs, traitors, and con-men. And, like it or not, this is a very good thing. At first, Ill admit, it broke my heart to see widespread negativity about the Pauls who I had come to view as champions of liberty. But Ive gained a new perspective. As far as champions of liberty go, the champions arent nearly as important as the liberty! Yes, we may feel betrayed, but we must never forget the lessons weve learned from Ron Paul about individual liberty, personal responsibility, sound money, cooperation, property rights, charity, and voluntarism. We dont believe in these concepts because Ron Paul believes in them, but because they are true. Ron Paul will always be a hero in the freedom movement for shining a light on these issues. So I dont care if Rand Paul endorses Mitt Romney. I will continue to endorse liberty. I dont care if Ron Paul concedes defeat. I will continue fighting for victory. The Ron Paul revolution is NOT about Ron Paul. The revolution is about liberty. Ron Paul is only one man. You are the revolution. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE.
