Hello, I just signed up!
First I must say that in recent months / 1 year I have given up all hope on America and I am certain that this republic will fail miserably. My only hope is that I am old or dead before that actually happens (I'm only 28 now).
Only recently have I even been involved in politics / government at all, and this is only by the following things:
- The disgusting aspects of Bush and his administration (fueled by his complete bonehead manuevers / moron statements) -- such as the lies used to go to war
- Conspiracy theories. (I don't believe in all of them but I DO believe in the general MISTRUST of our government on a fundamental level)
- Learning about the FED and the IRS, through things such as America: Freedom to Fascism (movie), The Creature from Jekyll Island (book), and just GROSS destruction of our personal liberties that have happened over the past 50 - 70 years.
- OH AND the OBVIOUS rigging of elections to keep Bush in office for 8 years. Especially after seeing the documentary on the voting machines, etc.
After absorbing all this stuff for about a year, I have lost all hope for America, and I've decided to turn a blind eye to politics and vote for NO ONE, because EVERY candidate is the same. Democrat or Republican means nothing. No candidate will eliminate the IRS and restore gold backed currency.
I learned that JFK was assassinated shortly after DOING THIS. He injected $4B of US NOTES back into the economy and began shutting down the FED. I did NOT EVER know this until my aforementioned recent education. I now fully believe that he was assassinated due to this, at least primarily due to this.
I am so angered and irate (not that I show it) due to the IRS and the FED (which are just the tip of an iceberg of corruption), that if a candidate doesn't talk about shutting down the fed and the IRS I won't even consider them a candidate and no one will get my vote.
Then out of nowhere comes Ron Paul.
Ron Paul has brought hope back to me. Ron Paul is a new hero of mine. Ron Paul is freakin' incredible. He hits EVERY POINT that MATTERS:
- shut down IRS / FED
- reduce government by max amount, let free market rule / provide services
- never EVER contradicts himself and follows history and learns from history
- restore personal liberties
- ADHERE to the constitution!!!
- So much more
He is the first politician to EVER give me hope, to EVER excite me, and on top of that, I donated $50 to his campaign. When it comes to me, that is UNHEARD OF, and a MONUMENTAL statement.
So now to the point of all this: I love Ron Paul but here are my concerns:
1) How the HELL will he win? Even if 80% of the common people ended up adoring him, couldn't the electoral vote just make him nothing more than a figment of our imagination? Does the vote of the common people even COUNT ultimately? What about rigging of elections? How can he really win this? What STEPS, realistically, would have to happen for him to actually WIN. To actually be STANDING there, being SWORN IN TO PRESIDENCY. I mean I just don't see it as a possibility, which is sad.
2) Even if he does win, and he repeals EVERYTHING (IRS / Fed / etc. etc.), what's to make that last? Remember, The Bastard Johnson undid everything that Kennedy started immediately after his murder. The Bastard Johnson immediately took out all the new currency and ensured the FED was not shut down. George W. Satan just made up new laws out of thin air, such as his new dictatorial powers. If Ron Paul were to undo those executive orders, what's to prevent the next anti-american president from just RE-ENACTING them? What's the point of someone like Ron Paul, more so what's the point of Ron Paul actually SUCCEEDING, if a few years later another dickhead can just undo everything? Isn't there a way to LOCK DOWN unconstitutional actions? Could Ron Paul make it impossible to EVER AGAIN completely undermime the constitution via an executive order, for example?
3) I believe (sadly) that Ron Paul simply cannot win (I hope to God I'm wrong), and so what can he do instead of being president to help American wake up? Some thoughts:
- Have a weekly video blog about what we should do, how we can take action, and educate us about what is wrong w/ America. More and more people would wake up and follow him. He shouldn't be getting all this internet exposure JUST because of the pre election activities. He should be watched and listened to all year long every year.
- Is there anything else he can do out of office, that with the help of (ultimately) millions of supporters could actually CHANGE the country by MAJORITY opinion / action?
I would appreciate intelligent answers to the above 3 questions in any capacity.
Thanks!
