Ron Paul: Writes the laws today, Rights the law tomorrow

The article on left-leaning Counterpunch today really intrigued me. It’s titled Welcome to the Revolution by “radical” screenwriter Donna J. Volatile. I read Counterpunch quite regularly, as it gives me a good finger on the pulse of the more realistic left-wing pundits.

Ms. Volatile writes: “Are we to forever be held back by issues, such as abortion or even National Health Care, an issue that never gets delivered in the first place (we are no closer now than we were way back when) ? These issues are by design. Abortion keeps us divided. National Health care lends us false hope.” This is the absolute best comment I’ve read on Counterpunch, and maybe the best comment on the National Health care and abortion debate ever. It is concise and clear and makes complete sense, for right-wingers, left-wingers and libertarians. These are two issues that are non-issues in terms of there being any sensible change. The division on the national level for both of these issues seems to be nearly 50/50, which means a change won’t happen.
