I gave up TV like other mind numbing poisons. So Fox News/CNN opinion on matters doesnt mean much to me anymore. I refuse to pay twice for my TV, once with commercials again with a bill (esp when the 'programming' is garbage). I get my news from the firefox default "latest headlines" RSS feed, a drudge report RSS feed and a bunch of science websites that offer little in the way of useless political news.
Obeying the Constitution is pretty tough to argue against (esp in these times when its even more necessary to emphasize than usual). I guess it's an idea in the way of a lot of guys out there who think it's in their best interest to follow other avenues (welfare/warfare). Putting priority on maintaining our rights, and not even letting politicians THINK about encroaching on them is paramount.
When the USA's wealth, military and political power is all gone.. all guys like me will have is all we have today: our rights. Everything else will fade, its inevitable.. so why end up losing whats most precious to tyrants like Bush, slowly over the decades till then?
I intend to not waste my breath politically supporting something that doesn't matter. As a young man myself, that's just not what I want to pass on to the next generation. Frankly what my generation is being handed sucks, it's a lot of unsolved problems no one wanted to deal with because it involved paying bills on time and having to play the adult saying "no". For most, even those with moderate wealth who 'think' we have something to lose, the true greatness to this country is our liberties.
That's really all I believe us Ron Paul fanatics are saying and fighting for. The message and mission isn't to win the presidency, it's a longterm effort to bring back this idea of obeying the constitution as it applies to all facets of government from war to domestic policy. If the Republican party continues to crumble, it'll be that much easier for Ron Paul Republicans to take it over from within as we're trying to do. It's going to take time but it won't take many RPR congressmen to screw up the whole system the two parties have tied up.
Imagine even 3 or 4 more "Ron Pauls" in congress. Frightening to most There's no stopping us now though, the 'damage' is done to the neocon wing of the Republican party. They're going to need to hope for agreeable Democrats to go forward, and stop the liberal activist wing of the Democratic party from influencing it further. Good luck on that, they are as motivated as us Ron Paul people (about 50x the motivation of the mainstream Democrat/Republican types).
There might be 50x more mainstream Dems/Republicans than Ron Paul Republicans or liberal activists, but I'll take 1 true convert over 50 know-nothings anyday.
Ron Paul Republicans are the counterparts to the "liberal activist" section of the Democratic party, and its to many peoples dismay how much we like each other and how we're the most motivated part of both parties.
When
David Horowitz calls you a "growing menace", you know you're doing something right!!!!
"It also shows why the "old Right wing" of the Republican Party he says he inhabits is a growing menace."
