Monarchy and Mayhem

HOUSTON, May 10 -- In Dr. Ron Paul's 14th Congressional District, just south of Houston, Texas City residents are living in fear. It's not because their BP refinery, the nation's most polluted plant, is earning them the unenviable nickname of "Toxic City." It's not because BP is far and away the most deadly industrial site in the nation. It's because they are afraid that BP is the target for a king-sized plan to explode a nuke on US soil.

Federal authorities and national media have been hinting for years that "terrorists" want to nuke Texas City, and they regularly insinuate it on the nightly news. The programming has been effective, and each time the BP refinery has exploded in recent years locals have instantly thought of Al Qaeda. They are already halfway convinced that it's only a matter of time before Texas City, Texas joins Oklahoma City and New York City, New York on the US "greatest hits list."

Their popular Dr. Paul has become a big thorn in the side of a Bush administration that has become famous for getting even with its enemies. In 2002 Senator Paul Wellstone opposed Bush on the Iraqi War Resolution -- and died in a mysterious plane crash after voting the wrong way. In 2007 Minnesota's Congressman Keith Ellison dared to accuse Bush of using 9/11 the way Hitler used the Reichstag fire -- and soon afterwards the Interstate 35 bridge running through his Minneapolis home district collapsed into the Mississippi River.

Dr. Paul has probably roused more White House ire than either of them ever did. He has consistently voted against the creation of post-9/11 federal powers, and has decried Bush foreign-policy as predatory, voting against pro-war legislation favored by US and Israeli hawks. He has even gone so far as to express his fears that the Bush administration might stage a fake incident against the United States to trick the nation into a war with Iran. Now he has added insult to injury with his just published blockbuster "The Revolution: A Manifesto." The book's very title is a Declaration of Independence against our new King George -- whom supporters prefer to call the unitary executive. No matter which term you choose, he is a dynastic dwarf spawned and installed by the quasi-monarchial Bush Family, which transferred rulership from Daddy George 41 to Boy George 43 with a bit of arm-twisting by Brother Jeb in Florida.

With "The Revolution" storming to top place in both the Amazon.com and New York Times bestseller lists, Dr. Paul is a gadfly buzzing unpleasantly in powerful ears with his thesis that the federal government has become an oppressive force, especially since 9/11. In effect -- and by design -- we have lost the fruits of the American Revolution and now ingest the poison of the un-American Counterrevolution. The only answer possible for a Pauline patriot is the Ron Paul Revolution. For more from Captain May.
