Ron Paul on LewRockwell.com

From The Revolution: A Manifesto:

We are engaged in a great battle of ideas, and the choices before us could not be clearer. I urge those who agree with this important message to educate themselves in the scholarship of liberty...Learn from the Mises Institute and Mises.org, the most heavily trafficked economics Web site in the world. Visit LewRockwell.com, an outstanding and crucially important Web site I visit every day.

This is important because social change is not effected through bromides and sound bytes, but rather through comprehensive education. Let us not forget that Ron Paul, the Austro-libertarian, is a product of Mises, Rothbard, and the Mises Institute. Paul, like Mises, points out the importance of ideas; it is ideas that allow a global Ron Paul Revolution to spring from a seemingly inconsequential think-tank in Auburn, Alabama.

For Ron Paul supporters dismayed by his political campaign, imagine how much better things are today than they were just two years ago. The ideas have spread to millions and seeds have been planted all around the world. Take Paul's advice and read LRC and Mises.org everyday, continue to advance the scholarship of liberty as it is only through education that lasting change can be achieved.
