First of all, I have to say - I'm 35 years old and this is the first time I'm actually excited and/or interested about a politician. I've never voted before. I had not a single care about who won the election. I don't care about voting for the lesser of the evils. If I don't like anyone, I don't vote. It doesn't matter to me.
However, Ron Paul has caught my attention. And I'm quickly realizing that everybody I talk to is thinking the same thing. Everybody seems to like Ron Paul. I'm looking all over the internet at blogs, websites, forums - you name it - and I've NEVER seen anything like this before...
Positive comment after positive comment after positive comment! Until now, I've ALWAYS seen a few people enter a discussion saying something negative about what people are talking about. You know - the guy who has to piss in the wheaties.. But I'm not seeing that here. I'm not seeing "that guy" come in and start saying bad things just to get the crowd riled up. The "troll". Where are the trolls? Can it be that people are liking Ron Paul so over-whelmingly that even the trolls have been distracted and are going with the flow instead of against it?
This evening I started telling my Mother about Ron Paul. She'd never heard of him. She watches the news but I suppose the controlled media hasn't allowed her to learn of him. She'll be doing research and talking with the rest of my family. Hopefully they'll all do the same and spread the word.
Until tonight, my Mother was believing what the controlled media has programed her to believe. That terrorists hate our "freedom". I was shocked that she believed that nonsense. I explained to her that the terrorists who hate us simply want us out of their business.
She was under the impression that if we were to pull out of the middle east, they'd eventually become strong enough to challenge the world. Again, I was shocked that the media had gotten to her.
The media would have us believe that if it were not for the United States policing the world, the entire world would collapse.. She asked why when President Bush asked for other countries to help us out in our war against terror - countries like Japan, China, Germany, Russia, etcetera didnt answer our call. I had to explain to her that THOSE COUNTRIES had no reason to believe we should BE at war! Of course they weren't going to help us. They KNEW it was B.S. all the long!
The media has our people believing that we need to police the world. WHAT IF the United States took ALL it's military out of the Middle East? What would happen? Is everybody going to gang-up on Israel and destroy it? These people are constantly at war with themselves. They're simply going to blow each other up and destroy their own countries...
BUT WHAT IF?! WHAT IF they decided to put all their religious beliefs aside and become one strong nation? What if they, as one, decided to take on the world? The media would have us believe that if the United States didn't get involved, the world would come to an end...
Have you seen North Korea's army? Do you think China would just stand there, drop their weapons and lie down for the Middle East? Would Japan? Germany? How is it that Joe Six Pack (beer) and Sally Soccer Mom believe that the U.S. is the ONLY country capable of holding back the Middle East from taking over the world?! Or that we'd be the ONLY ones brave enough to fight?!
THIS is what we're up against. We're up against a media that's having us believe that WE must police the world - and that Ron Paul is absolutely CRAZY to want to remove our military from placed like the Middle East.
We're up against a media that's having us believe Rudy Giuliani NEVER HEARD of ANYTHING like Blowback being "A" reason for 9/11. What does he think we're a country full of F'n FOOLS?! Blowback has NEVER crossed your mind?! YOU'RE AN IDIOT, Mr. Giuliani! Either you're an IDIOT for never considering this or you're an IDIOT for thinking we believe you never considered it. An you're an ASS for insulting Ron Paul at the debate. And I BET there was Somebody holding up a "CHEER" sign when everbody cheered for this moron after making that ridiculous statement.
This is going to be a very difficult uphill battle. I really hope that I get the opportunity to vote for Ron Paul next year. I donated $50.00 to his campaign this afternoon and I plan on contributing throughout the year until I reach the maximum that I'm allowed to contribute. I really hope others will contribute, financially, what they can. Or, at the very least, spread the word about who he is.
