Rand Paul to John McCain: "I'd rather be a hobbit than a troll"

Rand Paul

The “Lord of the Rings” metaphors crept into the debt-limit fight on Thursday, as tea-party heroes fired back at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who mocked members of the conservative grassroots movement as “tea-party hobbits.”

“I’d rather be a hobbit than a troll,” freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on a conference call when asked by POLITICO about McCain’s remarks. “I think in reading the books, the hobbits were the heroes. They overcame great obstacles, and I think I’d rather be a hobbit than a troll.”

I laughed my arse off on this one ...

Rand Paul - hobbit.
John McCain - troll.

That brain image is priceless!!!!!!!

LOTR a Parable about Power and Corruption

The Hobbits refused to fight power with absolute power, as it corrupts absolutely.

Isn't it ironic that the actual moral of the LOTR trilogy is that the only way to defeat evil is to take away its power?

By refusing to use the power of the ring to destroy the powerful, the Hobbits were able to deliver themselves from oppression.

In reality, the opponents of American liberty are the statist government elite who fight amongst themselves for more power over the public.

The Tea Party truly was inspired by Dr. Ron Paul's 2008 Presidential campaign to limit the size of government, and restrain its scope to the confines of the Constitution.

This strategy to influence the Republican Party to the extent that its leadership could no longer effectively compete for the absolute power sought by status quo establishment politicians is precisely the one true method to bring an end to the ever-expanding regime of centralizing government authority.

I can't imagine how McCain could have seemingly overlooked the comparison, had he known what he was talking about.

Who in their right mind would consider the Hobbits anything but the heroes of the story, inspired by their wise mentor to implement his grand plan to restore peace and prosperity?

Though I think Gollum (who used to be a Hobbit, btw) is more accurate...kinda represents a RINO.
