We seem to have turned a corner, of sorts. From what I have seen in the blogosphere of late, we are no longer looked upon as a source of comic relief, or are much less so than before. Instead, the general reaction that seems to me to come from one of our posts is, oh good, this one will draw out a nutcase we can make fun of! We aren't the inarticulate and crazy ones, we draw them like magnets--and if we don't zing them, often other people will do it for us!

If I'm reading this right, this is a major attitude shift--and an excellent, very encouraging sign. Please keep remembering to calm down, and maybe check in on a forum for ammo, before responding to bad coverage of our man. If you aren't a wordsmith, don't ever forget that you have many brothers and sisters here who are, and will respond with vigor if you point the way. We want to show the world that the intelligent, rational patriot is just about always for Ron Paul.

You getting the same impression? I say keep up the good work!

Thank you.

Although I am Canadian, I write a great deal about Ron Paul as of late. I would love to join you on the March for Liberty, assuming that I won't be branded a terrorist by the border guards for supporting Dr. Paul. ;)

You can read my blog here (http://gilliganscorner.wordpress.com/). Lot's of historical stuff and even an exchange with Eric Dondero (http://gilliganscorner.wordpress.com/2007/12/23/mainstream-medias-governance-policy-with-regard-to-ron-paul-wow/), when he showed up rattling his sabre...

I was also the guy who sponsored a Facebook ad (http://gilliganscorner.wordpress.com/2007/11/02/the-next-fb-flyer/) for the November 5th event, as I cannot legally donate or vote:

Alex Jones expressed his feelings of depression he has not felt in years over the last few days. I heard him Sunday live and he was so down, he said he almost did not do the show live. The reason, Paul maybe suspending his campaign.

This describes what I have gone through too this week-end. All we needed was for our leader, "Stonewall Paul" to tell us the truth, say he will go to the mat and give us a plan.......boy did he give us a plan and more. Thank you Dr. Paul, and my hats off to all of you that never waverd as I did.

You know it. We are sinking fast into a statist quagmire.

There's a joke we use up here:

Q) What is 12" long, red, and hangs between George Bush's legs?
A) Harper's tie.

In particular, I started this thread because Slate did a piece on Shuster's "pimping Chelsea" comment and the fact that Hillary got him fired. I contrasted this to his much more insulting and inflammatory comment calling lot more people (namely us) the "Al Qaeda of the Republican Party." Someone said in response to my post that we were, because we were trying to destroy FEMA, the IRS, the SEC, another one and etc. Before I could even ridicule the comparison, someone else was doing the same (not even a Paul supporter as far as I know) and beat me to it.

I love it when non-supporters defend my pro-Paul blogs! Yeah--defend our positions! Sure pays to be reasonable...

It's true. Ron Paul is the bearer of good tidings...Joy, joy, joy! Thanks, Dr. Paul...It's just the shot in the arm we needed.

I don't visit the blogosphere enough to notice that shift but it's gratifying to hear it nonetheless. I do see it in other venues though; I see things here and there where people are discussing issues that Ron Paul has brought up but that I'd never before heard discussed in the "mainstream".

Yesterday, a caller to our local talk radio show said that he loved the "Ron Paul People" because we discuss issues, articulately and in detail. I had an epiphany: perhaps that has been the very thing that has made everyone call us "kooks and fringe" in the first place; you have to admit that what we talk about is a little radical to the average teevee-watching joe. Conversely, I think we've caused people to check into what all the excitement's about and it is catching on (LOL!), albeit not fast enough.

You're advice to "calm down" is excellent. Otherwise, the message is lost. And we know what happens once someone is awakened...:D
