as Gandalf said: There never was much hope, just a fools hope.

but still they went on to win the war...

Galadriel said: even the smallest person in this world, can change it forever.

;)

The dark lords biggest deceit was weakening the fighting spirits of the free peoples, once that hold is gone, there is no stopping it...

Sometimes I feel like a hobbit...

I like this Gandalf quote:
"A witless worm you have become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a serving-man till the lightening falls."

Ron Paul should say this in his next debate...to anyone who gives him grief.

I need to get out more...

Hope remains while company is true.

Sorry, but clinging to ficitonal stories as your last hope gives the haters A LOT of ammunition to use aganst you to call you desperate and delusional.

How many times do we need to hear the story of the Army of the Potomac?

Would reciting Bible stories be more to your "realist" liking?

And we should try, too. It's not clinging to fantasy stories.

Here are some other quotes for our cause:

If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

Once you choose hope, anything's possible. (Christopher Reeve)

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. (Dale Carnegie)

Wow he really reminds me of Gandalf in both in looks and actions. The most prominent bankers I know are Ben Bernanke, Jean-Claude Trichet, Alan Greenspan, and Lloyd Blankfein. That'd be funny if there were 9 members of the Federal Reserve Board.
I wonder who Sauron is? Probably a Rothschild in a castle somewhere...

Stormcrow (a reference to his arrival being associated with times of trouble), often used by his detractors to mean he was a troublesome meddler in the affairs of others. Ron Paul's been warning of hyperinflation.

From another site:

"There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming." — Gandalf the Grey

Writes G. Gregory: “So the analogy [is] that Ron Paul is Gandalf... Hmm, nine of them attacking him at the second debate. Like the night on Weathertop when Gandalf fought off the nine and then escaped north!”

Those who used the Nine Rings became mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old. They obtained glory and great wealth, yet it turned to their undoing. They had, as it seemed, unending life, yet life became unendurable to them. They could walk, if they would, unseen by all eyes in this world beneath the sun, and they could see things in worlds invisible to mortal men; but too often they beheld only the phantoms and delusions of Sauron. And one by one, sooner or later, according to their native strength and to the good or evil of their wills in the beginning, they fell under the thralldom of the ring that they bore and of the domination of the One which was Sauron's. And they became forever invisible save to him that wore the Ruling Ring, and they entered into the realm of shadows. The Nazgūl were they, the Ringwraiths, the Enemy's most terrible servants; darkness went with them, and they cried with the voices of death.

Apparently Tolkien was a libertarian. He wrote his books at a time when the Statist regimes of Nazism and Communism were looking like the only two choices for the future. Maybe they were represented by Isenguard and Mordor who knows. Here's a good article about Tolkien's views on Socialism.
