Ron Paul is taking a stand against big government and losses of our freedoms within the Constitution.

People apparently do not want individual freedoms because the majority in America wants a theocracy over a Democratic Republic and the government is only too glad to oblige.

When I first started writing about NAFTA I was told that the majority of people want free trade agreements even if it meant America took losses in those agreements. My internet friends were screaming at me to get on board for the majority and stop trying to promote individual choices. Individual freedoms is now a war of words leading to a physical potential civil war in America.

I was told this morning that the majority of people want a Christian White House and I should shut up about discussing my own opinions on this. I was told that the prohibitions that will be imposed on all of us are good for us.

The problem with Ron Paul is that he will work for individual freedoms and choices as long as they do not break State laws. Of course we are not the majority and stirring up false hopes should stopped. This pretty much explains the reason America is losing respect in the world and even at home.

Paul is our ticket out of big daddy's plans to direct us all from the crib to the grave. Can you dig it?

A politician is a politician. Tell the people what they want to hear, and then do what puts the most money in your pocket. Corporate profits rule. Screw the people.

Like Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, Ron Paul is not afraid to say what he thinks. For that alone each one earns greater respect than all of the "legitimate" weasel-wording candidates put together.

I will not vote for a republican - not after the disaster of the last years.

However, I could vote for an independent..

In the mean time.. let the revolution begin!

Nice job, Doug. Not so much a rant, more an eloquent summation.

"In the mean time.. let the revolution begin!"

Real revolutions are bloody and chaotic. In a real revolution, a participant must be willing to murder corrupt officials, even at the local level. Hypothetically speaking, if one is not willing to shoot a known corrupt judge, for example, then one must consider seriously one's decision to join a revolution. My anger is as real as anyone's here, but to publicly advocate revolution is to needlessly draw attention to oneself, thereby labelling oneself as an undesirable to be rounded up in the first wave.

I do not advocate revolution at this time.

I would advocate serious civil disobedience such as a national strike.

Speaking of revolutions, one is being attempted at the moment in Pakistan. The U.S. of course has once again found itself allied with a military dicatatorship oppressive of its people. Nice. Shining City on a Hill. Well, Saddam was "our" dictator until he pissed us off. Currently Musharraf is our dictator. Is it going to be time to spread democracy to Pakistan soon? Wouldn't it be just wonderful to be at war in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan all at once? Oh Hell, throw in Syria for good measure. Can we bleed ourselves to death literally as well as financially any faster?

STRIKE!!

Is Ron Paul that much of a big deal? He's a Republican from Taxas, and for me that is enough to not vote for him.
Also he is a member of that right-wing nut group The John Birch Society.
Does he really know that much about the ambiguous Consitution that seems to be interpetted any way the powers that be want it to.
The ignorant majority get there news from the MSM and you know how the propaganda machine works overtime before during and after elections.
I doubt there will be a country by the time the elections take place.
Don't forget that the North American Union and the Amero will need some big distraction from reality. So there will be another false flag operation and Marshale Law will be put into effect and the Chirstian Right will be impowered to rule us sinners.

One more category 5 hurricane could do it.

And a national strike would certainly bring on martial law "temporarily" but it would at least wake up the sleeping populace.

I'm wondering if in a country like America with 200,000,000 guns in circulation what would happen if the people ever got REALLY PISSED OFF. This could have the potential to devolve into multiple militias and warlords who will protect you for a reasonable fee. Blackwater and Triple Canopy and Wackenhut (what an appropriate name) have a big head start. I'm sure there will be plenty of openings for ex-soldiers to keep the riff raff like me in line in THE AMERIKAN CENTURY. They already hire mercs from Latin America, as does the U.S. government recruit there with promises of citizenship after who knows how many tours of duty in war zones. I'm sure that when these soldiers are eventually discharged they would as Wackenhut employees dispassionately guard our cities and villages from civil unrest after all we've done for the folks in Latin America over the last few decades and after having been cast into the hellish obscenity of war, seeing or being forced into committing who knows what kinds of atrocities. All of this for your protection and security you understand.

A Revolutionary victory by a small group of ticked taxpayers against our local Republicrap machine:
Lockport — A proposition to lengthen the term of office for supervisor to four from two years was soundly defeated, 1,839 to 790. Supervisor Marc R. Smith, Republican, Independent and Conservative, ran unopposed, receiving 1,950 votes.
A large write-in campaign by a group calling itself Taxpayers for Accountable Government accounted for several hundred write-in ballots, though not enough to change the outcome of races involving unopposed candidates for supervisor and Town Board. Running unopposed for board seats were Cheryl A. Antkowiak and Paul W. Siejak;

The incumbent was as usual, unopposed, but with a group of about 15 people, a few more volunteers, 75 signs in strategic locations and 3000 paper flyers tucked into mail box flags & paper boxes over the weekend before election; we stopped the runaway Republicraps. They had always gotten everything they wanted and their 'behind-the-scenes' leader, a Rove wannabe attorney was certain they were home free. Oops! Didn't happen.
BTW, by using the lists of registered Republicrap voters from the Board of Elections, we managed to avoid the homes of the members of the town board, supervisor & attorney, so our write-in campaign was an additional surprise which garnered our candidates several hundred votes. We didn't win the uncontested seats, but we probably gave them a change of underwear.

CHB READERS, ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN A COUPLE OF THINGS:

When we in the Freedom Movement talk about "revolution", we spell it thus:

R3VOlUTION!

The "evol" has been reversed to mirror writing and it spells "LOVE". Thus, when we say R3VOlUTION! we say it with love. Positive, legal and peaceful restoration of the republic is the objective.

And you should understand that WE ARE THE MOVEMENT, NOT RON PAUL. Dr. Paul is just the current face of this movement, a rebranding if you will. We're gaining in numbers rapidly now, so rapidly it's hard to tell what we're going to look like after elections. But don't count on us to go away.

I wonder if Paul wins Iowa the MSM will invite him to the next Russert "debate".

I see more parallels, here. In the early '70s I was a young Yank living in Britain. The British Empire had finally collapsed, leaving Brits frustrated and ultra-nationalistic. An ultra conservative woman, Margaret Thatcher, was about to become the most powerful woman in the land, with ROTTEN results. And Guy Fawkes was the Villain of the Millenium.

Fast-forward thirty-some years, and another continent. The rampages of Conservativism and Imperialism have yet-again destroyed a once-great country, and an Establishment-Harlot-Woman-Crook is about to take power, just because people are so frustrated and desperate, they'll try ANYTHING for change. And Guy Fawkes, once viewed as the ultimate traitor, is now a hero for stranding up to the "system."

I hope WE get it figured out quicker than Britain did. But I'm not holding my breath.
