I do not think Obama is a lost cause

[Arklatex]

I have faith that Obama is from my same creator and he does have good in him.

He is playing a tough roll and has many decisions to make, is there not always surprises?

Soon I will write him a letter and encourage him, what are the chances it gets to him? Maybe if we all mailed one would get through.

May he not be seeing the light slowly that the views of Liberty, Ron Paul and the Constitution are exactly what we need? He is smart, have a little faith. Maybe it would help if all us "Tea Baggers" reached out to him. Encourage him in liberty we should. Were many of us not once brainwashed Neocons, Green Partiers and Dems who discovered the truth? Warm letters from us could help, while ofcourse, pointing out the circus of our world honestly. He may agree much more personally than he can let show in statements at this time. What if we could influence a major decision he is to covertly make on his own and pulls a maverick move on the inside, behind the scenes, that not even the powers that be or we are imagining possible.

Why not? We live in extraordinary times.

Are you Joking?

An optimist with large imagination? Yes. Joking? not entirely.

Arklatex has a lot to learn

[Arklatex]

That is true; one of my most advanced lessons thus far is the most unimaginable is always possible. Have you not learned that yet low preference guy?

one of my most advanced lessons thus far is the most unimaginable is always possible.

Dude, if that's your most advanced lesson, then it's obvious you haven't learned much. You're like one of those millions of kids out there that want to grow up to be astronauts. Is it possible? Of course. Now tell me, although it's possible, how many of these kids actually go to outerspace?

[Xenophage]

Obama relishes power, and he's currently living his fantasy. The sort of redemption, courage and integrity you're looking for in the man is only likely to be brought on by a head injury. Best to focus your efforts on getting someone honest into office in 2012

[Xenophage]

Quite a few of us forum posters are already in outerspace, dude! :P

He was bought and paid for a long time ago. He's just the middle man between us and our owners, unfortunately he works for our owners.

You prove variability. While the kid expected to an astronaut he turned out to be a scuba diver. Or while everyone expected him to be a mechanic he did indeed make it to space. There are degrees of possibilities, you can always bet the stud horse but does not that 100-1 horse come in sometimes?

Also you drastically underestimate my level of awareness my friend, but that is fine.

Bought and paid for!

[low preference guy]

i wonder if the jews in germany also said that they had hope for hitler.

That's right, we can't influence his ideology b/c he has no ideology (except for big government).

[JoshLowry]

I like your idealistic idea arklatex.

[Sola_Fide]

You can't convert by a letter writing campaign someone as ideologically driven as Obama. He has proven time and time again that he will set the will of the people aside to further his statism, in true authoritarian fashion.

I appreciate all of the kids coming to the Ron Paul Revolution from the left (mainly on the war issue), but I think the majority of them are vastly confused. It stems from an incorrect view of man and an incorrect view of what Liberty is.


-Liberty is NOT a state endorsement of gay marriage. That is just a different kind of authoritarianism.

-Liberty is NOT forcing the teaching evolution to kids in public school, rather Liberty is when the atheist stands side by side with the Christian homeschooler and demands that the statism-indoctrinating public school system be brought down.

-Liberty is not the federal government's endorsement and forced taxation for abortion. That is the opposite of Liberty.

It's downright quixotic!

You do realize that the entire premise of Austrian economics is built from that simple fact, right? In fact, so is a foreign policy of non-intervention. We can never omnisciently say what will happen. Understanding this concept of faith does not mean you ignore what is staring you in the face, it only means you can only put so much stock in what seems to be reality.

To think that the Austrian School placing faith in the market place is the same as thinking Obama is not a lost cause is like night and day. Austrians at least use examples of the past (and sometimes present) to explain market mechanisms. Was there ever an example in history where a far left, democratically elected president suddenly changes course halfway through his term towards a free market? Obama has stated that he rejects the whole idea of the a limited government by saying that the Constitution is flawed because it doesn't allow for redistribution of wealth. He's not coming around. Anyone who still has faith in him is a fool.
