The Ron Paul campaign is becoming a cult-of-personality movement like Obama's did in 2008

Ron Paul action figures? Sheesh. Graven images of the Dear Leader for the Paulists to drool over?  Weird.

"This portfolio is a half step away from a cellar-full of canned goods and 9-millimeter rounds.” *

An examination of U.S. Representative and GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul's financial disclosure documents by the Wall Street Journal shows that he holds cash, silver and gold mining stocks, and real estate. Less than 1 percent is in stocks and none is in bonds, derivatives, futures or other paper assets. Paul thinks that a financial collapse is on the way and has bet his net worth on that assumption. I have mixed feelings about those predictions myself, but say what else you will about Paul you still  must admit that he puts his money where his mouth is.

Lewrockwell.com is in the tank for Ron Paul

It is so sad that the web site that claims to be "anti-war, anti-state, pro-market" falls for the same rotten, smelly old cheese of conventional politics when one of it's own favorites is packed in it. Just about every article on LRC these days is now devoted the GOP (!) presidential candidacy of Rep. Ron Paul. The Ghost Dancer faction of the LP/paleo-con American political scene that LRC caters to fairly whirls up a storm  seeking comfort by trying to return to a past that can never be again no matter who they vote for. Even Ron Paul.
