“This is for the ones standing up to the system”

I interpret the “it” in this song as our republic and the “head cornerstone” as the Constitution.

Cornerstone by the Have Nots

This is for the ones standing up to the system
Yeah you know who you are, stay on point with the mission
Look to the left, the right, it all seems the same
Everybody’s pointing fingers in a blame game
And it’s a crying shame theres no change, just strain
It’s like we’re all in such a rush to flush it all down the drain
We gotta take it down brick by brick until we find the head cornerstone
We gotta polish it up ’til it shines like it once shone.

Libertarian ACLU?

Is there a more libertarian alternative to the ACLU? For instance, I’d be interested to learn of an organization that doesn’t interpret the establishment clause to mean that religious expression is forbidden on public property.

Reminder: Ron Paul and Polls

The aggregated NH polls at Pollster.com predicted the finishing order and vote percentages for the Republican primary, as I expected they would. Therefore, I’ll repeat my previous admonition here.

What these polls show us about Ron Paul’s popularity should motivate us to act, and we ignore them at our campaign’s peril. The good doctor’s campaign is in need of immediate attention and a major injection of funds. If you haven’t done so already, get involved with your local Ron Paul meetup. Tell your friends about Ron Paul. Given them informational slim jims and DVDs (my favorite is “A Man for All Seasons“). Lastly, it would be nice if money didn’t make the world go round, but it does, and the Paul campaign needs money to reach the millions of disenfranchised voters who’d flock to him if only they knew he is. Please, for liberty’s sake, consider making a donation. No amount is too small. If we each do our part to promote the causes of liberty and small government, and pay attention to how we affect state and national poll numbers, we might yet beat the system.

Addendum: I like Lew Rockwell and enjoy reading his blog, but I think James Ostrowski’s dead wrong when he says, “let’s all stop listening to the MSM and pollsters“. Granted, the polls got the Democratic NH primary wrong. However, they did well with both the Iowa and New Hampshire Republican primaries. If the polls look grim for Ron Paul, that shouldn’t mean we ignore them. Rather, they should light a fire under a movement that seems to have lost some oomph since the Tea Party money bomb.

Addendum: If you really want to stick it to the pollsters, get some disenfranchised Democrats to vote for Dr. Paul. 😉

Update 01/10/08: Dr. Paul is polling better than Fred Thompson in Michigan and catching up to him in South Carolina and Florida. 🙂

Ron Paul and Polls

6 Replies

As a Ron Paul supporter who’s watching net news with bated breath, I’ve noticed that the good doctor’s supporters seem to be rather distrusting of polls. The reasons range from criticisms of questionable statistical practices (e.g., land lines vs. mobile lines and so-called “likely voters”) to conspiracy theories. Having finally looked at some aggregated poll results, though, I think it’s time the Paulites start caring about polls.
