Ronald Reagan lost the Iowa caucuses in 1980 before going on to victory. And this year, Ron Paul got more than 10% of a bunch dominated by older party hacks, neocons, Bush lovers, and religious rightists. It was NOT a group equivalent to the people of Iowa, let alone the people of New Hampshire or the rest of the country. Indeed, considering the media hate and supression campaign waged almost unanimously against him, this was a credible finish.

Tuesday in New Hampshire is our day, then Michigan, South Carolina, Super Tuesday, right through the entire election and beyond. Ron has taken the first step on a long road towards overturning the apparatus of empire: the state, media, military-industrial, central banking rip-off artists. Ron has build a huge national movement of young people who will have far more of an effect in a state like NH than among the hack-tivists of Iowa, and on into the future.

The peace and freedom revolution has much work to do. But we didn't sign on for a short-term. We are in this for life, and we remember always what the libertarian Thomas Paine said: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
