Ledger DC Journal Ron Paul White House Run: Is This Only the Beginning?
By Barry Bright
Dec 4, 2007
I write the following as a representative of myself, not of any candidate, group, religion, party, version, sub-version, or subversion. It would be great to have a Ron Paul in the White House. It would be great to have a congress full of Ron Pauls, state legislatures full of Ron Pauls, city, and county and parish governments full of Ron Pauls.
Ron Paul White House Run Only the Beginning
But that’s not reality. We have a Congress, state legislatures, commissions, councils, whatever, of whores. A few years back a mainstream newswhore wrote a book titled “Parliament of Whores.” No one blinked much of an eye at his accusation that I can remember. But what most didn’t or don’t seem to consider is that in order for us to have a parliament, or congress, of whores, we have to have a nation of whores to vote them in or at least tolerate them.
Even if Ron Paul is elected, (or allowed to be elected, because that’s how I believe that it works) by some miracle, there are only so many things he can do. He can’t repeal all the gun laws himself. He can’t get rid of the Federal Reserve himself. He can’t get rid of the IRS himself. He can’t overnight change the minds of the millions of idiots in this land of the prostituted and the home of the apathetic who think they deserve a government check or free health care or to be kept safe by the police state.
Someone smarter than me needs to figure out how to harness all this youthful energy that may well fizzle out soon. If it does, oh well, it’s their future. I’m middle aged, and in a year I’ll be past militia age. I know where my lines are, and what my limitations are, so I don’t expect to live to be old or to see the full fruition of the police state. When the liberals and the globalists they serve, whether they’re smart enough to know it or not, do certain things my name will appear on the evening propaganda cast.
What you tolerate you deserve. When you tolerate your boss telling you that 60-hour workweek is necessary or you won’t have a job you deserve to be kept away from your family or your favorite activities, until you’re too old to fully enjoy them. If you’re a truck driver and you go on 2 hours of sleep of day, with no exercise or recreation time, for 50 weeks or more a year so you can ‘have a good retirement’ you deserve it.
We’re supposed to have a system that allows us to fight back, with a ballot box and a jury box. And yes, we’re winning on many fronts. But it’s because of the actions of a tiny minority of our population. And it could all be turned on its ear in one election cycle, or in one more ‘terrorist’ event, or in one more thing no one’s thought of yet.
At what point will this Representative Republic we’re supposed to live in be un-salvageable?. If as many as 100 people ever read this I’ll be surprised. They’re all glued to the television, their jobs, their hobbies if they have time for them or whatever keeps them in never land.
In fact it has too much reality in it for even most ‘patriot’ activists. And I use that word patriot loosely.
I’m still trying to figure out, how or why so many ‘left-leaning’ people are supporting Ron Paul. He has a great way of getting a simple message across. He seems like an honest person. Even many of the "sheeple" are not so far gone as to not recognize this.
But what they won’t recognize is that what the other candidates say matters not. All that matters is their records. No one gets a promotion to a better job because they say they’ll do well, when they’ve been producing garbage, except in politics, and in some major corporations.
How many will support Ron Paul when their fascination with the idea of the end of the Iraq occupation, or colonization, peters out? How many will flock to vote for Hillary who will use the Democrat vote-buying scheme of more government checks and free healthcare when they learn that Ron Paul, as a Libertarian, is against their idea of communist utopia?
Personally I hope Hillary wins. She is exactly what the "sheeple" deserve. Like her husband she will sell many guns and much ammo and keep the "Republicrat(s)" off the golf course for at least four years. There is no way anyone with a brain and a Liberty loving heart can vote for Rudy Guliani or any of the other "Republicrat" candidates.
So go vote for Ron Paul. Show up, actually show up and WORK for Ron Paul, and your Liberty. That’s what it’s about. It’s not about Ron Paul. And if you ask him he’ll tell you he’s nobody’s savior.
That’s why we need people of his caliber to begin the process of eating away at the mortar and loosening the bricks in the wall that our ancestors either failed to stop or didn’t try to stop the construction of around us.
And know that this is a war. It’s been going on since way before you were born and likely won’t end in your lifetime. Humankind isn’t sociologically ready for complete Liberty. It still scares them too much.
If you want peace, work for Liberty. If you don’t trust human nature to run countless corporations that only affect a few lives at a time how do you trust human nature to control every aspect of your life and ‘protect’ you from whatever they’re saying at the time you should be afraid of?
And if you’re not willing to do that, you deserve what they do to you.
