I was just mulling over what is happening and thinking of the neo-cons approach to Ron Paul’s success. If I were to be one of the neo-con socialists what would I need to eliminate in order to squelch the Ron Paul grassfire? The focus could not be on anything that the campaign is doing because they know that the message isn't going to change. But people’s passions are fickle, so if the grassroots passions can be changed quickly, if the people can be demoralized and the excitment turned to negativity, the fire will die out.
How can they make that happen? The flame is too big to step on or to blow out so they bring in their biggest weapons to squelch our passion with their nay-saying. They’ve got to change our perception of how liberty is viewed by the masses.
So they boo Ron on national TV to show us that our efforts have had no effect. They tell us that 49% of Americans hate him and have said in "scientific" polls that they absolutely will not vote for him (an interesting turn around from recent "scientific" polls that said that 70% of Americans don’t even know who he is). They make “liberty” and “libertarian ideals” dirty words. They tell us that the world will never accept this movement, quit wasting our time and go home.
If they can only get us to stop bringing in new fuel the fire slowly goes back to embers and they go on their merry way, controlling people and countries, taking as theirs the rewards for our labor, expanding their power and wealth.
Some of us respond to their efforts just as they hope we will. We say to others “quit getting excited over what you think may happen”, “stop being serendipitous”, and “the whole world besides us is stupid”. We look at the world thinking that the battle is too difficult, we’re fighting uphill. When we go talk to people our message and our stance becomes negative and the growth is stymied. After all who wants to drink that Kool-aid?
But we must see differently! We must focus our minds on the people we see that hear the solid reasoning behind the stances and clutch the hope of freedom in their grasp like a person who is drowning holds on to a life ring. We must focus on the fact that thousands of people turn out for quickly planned events when the "front runners" couldn't fill a Denny's with a months notice. We see the truth setting people free in their minds, and know that the public manifestation of that freedom will surely follow as long as that flame of freedom is not eliminated.
Feeling discouraged? Don’t spew that poison around here. Think of the message, get it in your mind and go share it with someone. You’ll be amazed at how excited you become when one person says “Well, that makes sense”.
Let’s overcome the lies and the spin by seeing what really happens. And may the first negative poster on this thread be blessed with 40 long years of sitting in your lazy-boy, watching Faux News and collecting a $17.76 social security check each month. :rolleyes:
Go feed the fire!
