Texan Of The Year
Dreher nominates Ron Paul:
The same GOP establishment that mocked and reviled Dr. Paul now lies shattered. Who believes in this Republican Party anymore? The party destroyed itself with its own unprincipled recklessness, both in foreign and fiscal policy. And it has ruined its reputation among the young - the most ardent of Dr. Paul's supporters, incidentally - who are far more likely to identify with the Democrats.
Out of this destruction, some creative young conservatives may rise up
and decide to take back the Republican Party. Perhaps they'll run
against the overweening power of the federal government and in favor of
decentralizing power (but unlike today's Republicans, they'll actually
mean it). Maybe they'll fight for an America that lives responsibly,
within its natural limits both overseas and at home. And maybe, just
maybe, they might make the Republican Party worth following again.
If that day comes, it will be thanks to the lifelong labors of Ron Paul
and his 2008 campaign based on ideas. If those ideas germinate into
genuine reform and restoration of sanity in our government, America
will look back on Dr. Paul as a gift from Texas and a worthy nominee as
Dallas Morning News Texan of the Year.
