...and goes up around the bend.

I’m a fairly unabashed admirer of Ron Paul, yet I can think of no rational explanation on God’s green earth for his decision to publicly endorse New Hampshire tax protester Ed Brown as heir to Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Does Paul really wanted to be associated with someone who is currently stockpiling weapons for a confrontation with law enforcement, threatening another Waco should anyone attempt to make him do the time he was tried, convicted and sentenced to serve for tax evasion? Does he really want to endorse a man who hopes this conflict will spread and become a revolutionary war against a global cabal of Zionists, Illuminati and Free Masons?

I dislike taxes and the Federal Reserve as much as the next guy--well, to be fair to the next guy, probably a wee bit more--but I realize not everyone who shares a couple of my views is an epic hero for humanity. Paul and his handlers would be well-advised to figure that out, too, and soon.
