[lbo-talk] Did Ron Paul really say this ?

[c b]

Congressman/Presidential candidate Ron Paul wrote, ""The beneficial,
educational impact of the John Birch Society over the past four
decades would be hard to overestimate. It is certainly far more than
most people realize. Anyone who has been in the trenches over the
years battling on any of the major issues - whether it’s pro-life, gun
rights, property rights, taxes, government spending, regulation,
national security, privacy, national sovereignty, the United Nations,
foreign aid - knows that members of the John Birch Society are always
in there doing the heavy lifting. And most importantly, they approach
all of these issues from a strong moral and constitutional
perspective. Lots of people pay lip service to the Constitution, but
Birchers study it, understand it, apply it, and are serious about
protecting it and holding public officials accountable to it."
