"Dr. Paul’s legacy is that of a leader of the young. He is an example that a man of virtue, common sense, and indestructible morality can survive with his head and heart intact in the dirty world of politics. If this generation is not killed off in a plague or in a war, then his impact will be felt in many nations and many political parties in the years to come."

Ron Paul: The Legacy Factor

Saman Mohammadi

No one expected Ron Paul to win the 2012 presidential race, not because he lacks mainstream support, great ideas, and a popular appeal, but because the American political process is completely anti-democratic and fraudulent.

If George Washington and Thomas Jefferson ran for President in 2012, CNN and Fox News would shout them down as cranks, the Republican party would steal their votes, and a majority of voters would call them anti-American because they’re programmed robots. That is the reality of American politics in the 21st century.

If the political process was fair, and the media was not run by evil vampires, then Ron Paul would easily become the president because he has the right qualifications, integrity, values, vision, intelligence, and independence to lead America in this dark hour.

Obamney is a machine; Paul is a man, and people want to be led by men, not machines.

Anti-Paul voters say that voting for Paul is a wasted vote, but voting for Obamney will lead to a wasted country. What’s the smarter move? Not wasting away your vote by voting for a definite loser, or not wasting away your country by voting for destroyers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights?

A vote for Paul = wasted vote, but a vote for Obamney = wasted country.

It doesn’t matter that Dr. Paul didn’t win. His rise into political prominence, along with the Internet, social media, and the global alternative media, have changed things for the better. There is no going back to the era of domineering political parties, made-for-tv political candidates, and media suppression of anti-establishment voices.

Politics is changing dramatically because of the renewed sense of citizen participation and political activism. Dr. Paul’s brief time in the political sun only represents a glimpse of what’s to come, not only in America, but in other countries as well.

It’s still too soon to measure Ron Paul’s success, largely because his greatest impact is not in the political arena, but in the human mind and the human heart. He alluded to his hearts and minds strategy in arecent speech in Austin, Texas.

Dr. Paul’s legacy is that of a leader of the young. He is an example that a man of virtue, common sense, and indestructible morality can survive with his head and heart intact in the dirty world of politics. If this generation is not killed off in a plague or in a war, then his impact will be felt in many nations and many political parties in the years to come.

I personally don’t share all of Dr. Paul’s views, but that does not change the fact that he is a hero in my eyes, and in the eyes of millions of others around the world. Ron Paul is an affirmation of the American spirit. He is living proof that America is good. In the evil age of Bush and Obama, the world needs to be reminded that America at its heart is a good, moral, and spiritual country. And Dr. Paul provides that reminder.

In the Republican debates, Dr. Paul was the only one who voiced a course of peace and understanding with Iran. The other Neanderthals stared into the camera and defended a policy of destruction and desolation. While they repeated war slogans, Dr. Paul destroyed the war propaganda against Iran with clear-headed logic and moral vision. That alone certified his legacy as a voice of conscience and peace in an era of madness and war.

But it will take time before his legacy is understood and his full impact is felt.
