I think you're right. If we don't pull a 1776 2.0 we will fall into complete enslavement. However, I fully support taking over the GOP. There's so many ifs and roadblocks in this equation. But it's the best route if we are going to use politics to gain our freedom.
Well, I don't see any possibility of that happening especially considering the fundamentals such as the fact that republicans have never been about smaller Constitutional government in the first place, when in fact the very first gop president was responssible for the destruction of the Constitution and the murder of over 600,000 Americans just to keep that power centralized in washington which in fact is what made it possible for them to construck this giant monstrosity of government we have today. Not quite the freedom lover types.
Now we have fellow "paulians" who are talking about making "citizens arrests" ( maybe they'll like us more if we become police in Tampa. Soon those same folks might justify supporting "just this once" some slimebag republican who 'really sounds good") Incredible if you really stop and think about it. Maybe they'll like us alright.
There is a lowlife ( g s initials) at the kitco forums who I have avoided responding to for a long time because on ONE point he/she's right and that is we're NOT REPUBLICANS! An obvious mental midget this moron will respond to almost every thread about Dr Paul and of course it's off the charts ignorant "except for that one point".
To give you an analogy you think we're going to move in on the gambino's territory and control "the family" by honorable and legal ways. While in a perfect world and a free society ( you woudn't need to even think about that if it was a free society) But we're not freaking mobsters number one and guess what? They ain't givin up territory even if they have to kill us all. Now whether that's by way of keeping all the parents worried about their dumbass kid who signed up for this shit or suddenly the "don't support the war but support the murderers" syndrome which has obviously not been the best route and in fact I would say the very act of doing so ENABLED it to continue and expand. They have this place so bamboozled there are people out there who think it's HONORABLE and are "defending" us when in fact the opposite is true, or if it's slow poisoning us with the crap in the food store, or preventing us from some other alternative forms of healthcare, makes little difference. It's become a movie and we're the ants they are stepping on.
No Mr Kennedy, I do not think that is even in the world of possibility and frankly it makes me admire Dr Paul even more as he's been able to do what no other libertarian has done before and that's get the message out to millions. Even Harry Browne who was the only 3rd party candidate in American history to achieve getting on the ballot in all 50 states couldn't do what Dr Paul has already done. But surely if this election has taught us anything it has ( confirmed to many of us, taught many more ) shown us how rotten to the core this place is and I'm sorry but in 6,000 years of human history, Freedom has only been one one time, it didn't come by posting signs on street corners and it didn't come by way of playing nice nice with the enemy and it lasted for about 100 years and then started a very slow decline with the means to accelerate that decline put in place in 1913 and surely this country has become intelectually, spiritually, morally and financially bankrupt.
It's going to take a fight and I'm convinced that the more people take it, the more we're all going to have to take in the future as they know there's nothing to stop them. They sure as shit haven't obeyed the Constitution, we the people are merely a source of revenue or when younger, canon fodder and paid killers.
Sorry for the long one but I'm as many of us are having some wild swings of my own, watching what happened in louisiand sickened me.......and I've lived full time in a communist country, a monarchy and here and you know what? There ain't that much difference anymore ( which could be another conversation ). Not like it used to be that's for sure and I mean in my lifetime. It's accelerating faster and faster.
