Ron Paul Revolution - Let Your Light Shine

You can't drive more than 50 miles on a highway in Northeast Georgia without seeing a "Ron Paul Revolution" sign attached to a fence, a pole, or an overpass. Ron Paul Army shows its minions several ways to support Ron Paul, without spending a bunch of money. The Internet LOVES Ron Paul.

There is no doubt that supporters of Dr. Ron Paul are fervent in their support. Supporters of Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Rudolph Giuliani, and even Barack Obama don't have 1/2 the passion for their candidate that Congressman Paul has.

These supporters know that the mainstream media is against their candidate, yet they persist. The fact that the mainstream media ignores Dr. Paul only fuels the fires that his supporters have created.

Most of his supporters know that the mainstream media does not report the news, and the fact that Congressman Paul is all but ignored, is a plus in the minds of many of his "revolutionaries".

Ron Paul is only one candidate. He will likely not win the Republican nomination, and has stated he will not run as an independent candidate in the general election. When he is officially out of the race, will the Ron Paul Revolution die?

I think not. What Ron Paul has done is create an awareness of a Democratic-Republican run disaster that is our official foreign and domestic policy. We spend too much money at home and abroad, and are creating a reliance on government. Reliance on the government is like being addicted to crack-cocaine, crystal meth and heroine at the same time. The federal government has become our country's dealer, and demand only drives the prices up.

To me, Ron Paul represents the best hope of getting libertarian ideals to the masses. Even if he doesn't win, I believe his movement will continue to grow.

Many Americans have seen the light. They've finally realized that the Democratic-Republican party is only a choice between gay marriage, the decorating parameters for government walls, and who will fund our demise. Reliance on Government is not a choice, if you're only aware of the Democrat and Republican parties.

This is why the followers of Paul work so hard to let their light shine. To most people, its not even about Ron Paul. Its what he represents that have potential voters willing to follow him to the ends of the earth.

So, if this is your first time reading my blog, understand I am not just a supporter of Ron Paul. I am a supporter of the Constitution, a humble foreign policy that does not try to dictate our values to other cultures (let alone our own), and a government that is afraid of the American people and not the other way around.

If Ron Paul withdraws from the 08 election tomorrow, I will still be here to shine the light of liberty, and give my hell to the Democratic-Republican party. I will use my keyboard to do my part to make sure that the libertarian ideals that have drawn so many people to Ron Paul, grows for our future. This is my role, and I hope I'm one of the many who do this and take other actions to get the word out that we CAN take our government back.

What am I going to do with this little light of mine?

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Liberty: The Shining City on A Hill

Once upon a time, in America, we had liberty. Liberty has been good to us.

The United States didn't become a super power because of its great military, great leadership, or even because of capitalism.

Liberty did that for us.

People came to our country for liberty, not money. Liberty made us that shining city on a hill. Not religion. Not overwhelming military force, or the economy.

Immigrants have always known that our country was the best place to live, because if you had a work ethic, and a good idea, you could become rich, or at least make a life for yourself. The government left you alone, and let you live your life as you chose to live it.

Now unfortunately, we're moving away from liberty, and its not just the Democratic party that is trying to take liberty away.

If you want to make something illegal because its morally wrong, you are part of the problem.

If you support wiretapping without a warrant (I support getting a warrant afterwards at least), you are part of the problem

If you support governments over-reaching its authority on eminent domain issues, you are part of the problem.

You see, the Democrat and Republican parties are not the problem. They are a symptom (like a cough tells you that you are sick). After all, we seem to be letting both parties get away with taking our liberties, and we do nothing to stop them. We keep sending them back, and acting like we have to vote for them in blocks, or the other side will "ruin America".

This is why I support a totally write-in election where spelling counts, and you have to know about what you are talking about for your vote to count (maybe you'd have to tell us who Sec of State is or something to that effect).

While the Democrats and the Republicans act like their fighting to keep the chaos factor in check, secretly their both taking our liberty away, little by little.

This is a bi-partisan problem, and it requires a tri-partisan solution.
