Santorum Supporter - Visits Ron Paul Rally @ Ft. Worth Texas - Shares His Reaction

[liberalnurse]

Yes, it was to protect Mr. Murry in case some rabid Romney supporter were to attack him. LOL

Interestingly, today I heard Senator Tom Coburn tell Dennis Prager that OUR INVOLVEMENT IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN led in part to our current debt crisis.

I was happily shocked.

Mr. Murray,

I hope you know I have school work to do, but I can't stop reading your commentary. The part about 'internal debates' resonated with me.

I'd like to say that I wasn't born this way. I had to have those same debates. It took many long hours of meditation, and perhaps even prayer (though, admittedly, I am not devout. I'm what you might call one of those 'sailor-mouthed believers'. Yet, I've found myself calling upon some spiritual guidance for this country more now than ever before), and having to question much of everything I'd been told, to arrive at different answers than the ones I'd been given. It is very emancipating.

Then again, what I've come to realize is that I was, in fact, born this way. We're all born free; we only lose it when we give it up. The dialogue of the establishment is that freedom is somehow limited, and it's something scarce to be fought over, rather than fought for. That's why you see so many republicans and democrats going at each other's throats. In that sense, I firmly believe the system is designed to divide-and-conquer.

Speaking with regard to the republican party in general, it seems as if mainstream republicans believe the creator gave us natural rights, but strangely, didn't make enough freedom for everyone. So, we've allowed a centralized, bloated system of government in Washington to politicize our freedom to the brink of extinction. We've been so busy fighting over freedom, that we've lost sight of what it means, and requires, to fight for it. Freedom unites people, it's true. That's why Ron Paul is able to wake up people on both sides of the political spectrum.



I also want you to realize that you may have left a chance to "win" for a chance to go down fighting for what you believe in. We're glad to have you, and your talented writing style, on board. Let's give 'em hell.

Having Ron Paul's freedom message sink in is truly a spiritual awakening. It definitely changed my whole world view. When you go back (to your own vomit, biblically speaking) and listen to someone like Limbaugh who you previously revered for his "wisdom" and wit, you realize that his role is to split America. There is NEVER anything good to say about Democrats, while Democrats treat the Rs similarly. Then you see how the same media treats a good and honest man like Ron Paul, and it's easy to figure out that we are being played. You notice that nothing ever changes and that things are getting worse economically, and that everything Ron Paul has said has come true, and that everything he says makes sense. The next phase is where you can't understand how everyone else doesn't GET IT. When you take your new-found message to the Internet, you meet illogical resistance, which leads to frustration. You suffer when Ron is omitted from newscasts, or even worse, lied about. The discovery of election fraud in the caucuses makes the frustration even worse. It's no wonder people call us angry whackjobs...

Thanks again for your inspiring article, even though it wasn't really meant for us all to see.

Strauss is neoconservative, the progenitor, in fact, of the neoconservatives, who were his students. Still reading....

Many of us were conflicted with Strauss and how he infiltrated the GOP before we saw light.

Wgadget, I think you explained the stages of awakening perfectly. I'm trying not to let my 'frustration stage' turn into bitterness, though, and, since the moment Romney started being declared the 'presumptive nominee', it's been very hard for me to keep my bitterness in check.

Mr. Murry wrote the article, though. So I'm not sure if you meant to quote me in your post.

All,

Thank you to everyone for the kind words about my Facebook post on visiting a Ron Paul rally last week. I certainly had no idea of the reaction it would generate and didn't conceive that it would be read outside my circle of friends. Had I known, I may have spent more than 30 minutes writing it. The response has been quite overwhelming.

Sorry for being so late to the game. I know many of you have been on the front lines of the liberty movement for years now and have endured neglect, disrespect and often scorn from the mainstream. To make the mea culpa complete, I have engaged in that myself. That you have remained so dedicated through all this is a testimony to your faith and your strength. I have a lot of time to make up to get to where you are and pledge to you all my full commitment to seeing this through to final victory. We can do this (but I don't need to tell you that).

Freedom is worth fighting for.

Adrian Murray

Thank YOU sir! Your post brought tears to my eyes as well and I must've read it every day for a few days after. The words were sooooooo powerful! And this is coming from a "liberal" from California. I switched my party to Republican to vote for Dr. Paul. Thank you again sir and welcome to the r3VOLution. It is here and it will NOT be televised.

 

[dwinblood]

Mr. Murray, I wanted to join the people chiming in to thank you for your article. It was well written and has been shared by many people in many places. You Sir, are now unintentionally famous for your facebook post.


You mention that you are just getting here and have some catching up to do...

Welcome to the future, and it is better late than never.

Now, you can help us wake up more people and I am certain your article has by itself likely awakened more people than I have in my years of trying.

Mr. Murray Welcome to the Ron Paul R3volution! And the Great Article

 

[Cap]

It's what we live for. Why wouldn't we read it? If there's one thing that inspires me more than hearing Ron Paul speak, it's hearing the responses of people who are finally listening.

I'm both angered that our country has come the point where the American people must 're learn' what liberty truly means, and at the same time, inspired with hope that they are slowly taking it upon themselves to obtain that knowledge, once again.

It is nothing short of a revolution.

P.S. Play your cards right. You are in a better position to bring more people into this never-ending quest for knowledge of freedom than most of us who have been involved forever*, because, if we are honest with ourselves, we can come off as a bit 'over-zealous', which tends to turn off people who would otherwise have listened. But, as you state, there's a reason why we act that way; we're not just out to look like a-holes.

(at least it feels like some of us have been here forever; in truth, I think I've only been involved in politics for about 4 years, and I have a deep and profound hatred for politics for what it has done to this country)

Well stated my man!

That is why we will win, in the end.
