I had never heard of Fawke or "V" and I was never for the associating Fawkes or "V" with a findraising event - and I am still not, HOWEVER after studying up, I see Guy Fawkes as a revolutionary in the same manner as the Jews who stood up for themselves in the Warsaw Ghetto. Catholics were treated no differently in the late 1500's and early 1600's in England than Jews in Germany in the 1930's.

Guy Fawkes was standing up against religious persecution which involved the bannishment of his religion, with jail or death to those who practiced the Catholic religion.

Thus, while I think it was wise to distance the 5th site from Fawkes or "V" because the media can spin it in negative ways, I view Fawkes as noble for what he was doing - seeking to put an end to a monarchy that really was not different than the regimes of Hitler or Stalin. If Elizabeth I or James I had the weapons Hitler and Stalin had, you can bet there would have been a true holocaust against Catholics of that time in England.

"The Queen died in 1603 without leaving an eligible heir to the throne. Many hoped that Catholic sympathiser James VI, King of Scotland, who succeeded as James I, would now reverse the harsh policies towards them.

"However this was not to be the case, and James I continued the persecution of Catholics in England with new vigour."

"When Elizabeth I of England died in 1603, she left behind a kingdom bitterly divided along religious lines. Under her guidance, the Anglican Church grew in power and closer to Protestantism. At the same time, Catholics were marginalized. When James VI of Scotland took the throne and became James I of England, most Catholics hoped he would bring a more tolerant religious attitude. They were quickly disappointed."

Yummy this Crow tastes like Freedom.

lol

 

[filmmaker58]

It's about freedom. "The people shouldn't fear their government". Forget Guy Fawke. The symbolism is more about one man not being afraid to speak out can make a difference. And he certainly has. "Just come home"

I have never been so happy to eat crow in my entire life!

I was a bit wary of this because the donations fell by quite a bit in the past two weeks.

If we get more than a million for each of those weeks then by all means...serve it up.

I do recall seeing one article on donklephant talking about Ron Paul not reaching his $4 million goal for October... send them a plate.

Crow Cookies with a lil special something something,ready to be served to the naysayers

From what I know about Guy Fawkes, he was the part of a movement to throw off religious tyranny,soun familiar. I think he was just the one elected to light the fuse. I hope this is the metaphoric, non-violent, peaceful even, fuse that gets lit today.
Tu Ne Cede Malis! It is time to stand against tyranny, that would and wants to end this great experiment.
Remember the fifth of November, the British do, they burn his effigy every year to celebrate his failure and his hanging, along with the hanging of hundreds of others who fought against tyranny.
Yes, lets make this a day to remember.

I'm pleased to see that the money bomb thingy is a success.

Hopefully, this will make up for the abyssmal fundraising numbers we've had for the past two or three weeks, which are arguably a result of theis fundraising whatchamacallit.

No, he just wanted to institute a Catholic theocracy and force tyranny on Protestants, as had been the case under the rule of Bloody Mary Tudor who, just decades before, had been burning Protestants at the stake.

All of these religious fanatics tearing Europe apart at the time should be viewed with distaste by American freedom lovers who value our religious liberty. Guy Fawkes was no hero fighting for religious liberty, he was just another theocrat fighting to reinstate his own favored brand of religious tyranny.

That said, the Nov. 5 fundraiser is awesome. I donated for Ron Paul, not for Guy Fawkes.

 

[work2win]

There is one message that unites us all, and brings in the money. That is the message of Ron Paul.

If today is the fuse that gets Ron Paul elected, then the U.S. will have its own reason to "Remember, remember the 5th of November" - the day Ron Paul showed the MSM and the world that he is top-tier and a force to be reckoned with.

Throw in the Philly Rally, and this week will be worth millions upon millions of free advertising on top of all the donations. This is nothing short of AMAZING! There is Hope for America!

MSNBC just stated polls show 73% of Americans are not happy with the direction of the country and 65% of Americans believe we are headed into a recession. The Perfect Storm that gets Ron Paul elected is not just on the horizon - it is fast approaching.

Actually..the economy tanking, milk, meat, bread and petroleum have gone up as much or more than a dollar per unit (quart/gallo9n/pound and rent and bills coming due are more liely the cause. Some in the northern states got their first heating bills..Probably another financial shock. Now the rent and mortage have been paid and this is the first week of the month when those who do not have high incomes and live from paycheque to paycheque have some cash to spare before putting away a good portion of the next three cheques to hit the bills and rent/mortgage.

I admit...

Im eating crow... big time...

 

[libertythor]

On my Ron Paul Radio program I told people repeatedly to quit being negative, and I predicted a million. We already surpassed that. I confess to underestimating....but not to poopooing this day.

Let us buy our country back.

Oh, please. Spare us the hyperbole.

If you only just learned who Guy Fawkes was recently, then you obviously lack the historical understanding to frame his actions appropriately in the context of the Wars of Religion sweeping Europe in those days. Catholics and Protestants had both been persecuting each other in various countries and various regimes throughout the period.

The marginalization of Catholics under James, who even allowed Catholic lords to attend court so long as they swore that the king was not subject to the pope, pales in comparison to the acts of Mary Tudor, who violently murdered hundreds of Protestants.

And if you want to draw comparisons to a "holocaust", you'd be far better served to look at the treatment of the Protestant Huguenots in France, where as many as a hundred thousand were slaughtered on a single day, an act for which Pope Gregory XIII said a special mass giving thanks to God for the murders, commissioned a mural commemorating the massacre to be painted in the Vatican, and even had a special papal medallion made to celebrate the slaughter.

Again, none of these religious fanatics -- including Guy Fawkes -- should be viewed as heroes. These were the type of people our forefathers left Europe to avoid, and they are the reason the Founders had the foresight to ensconce religious liberty in our Constitution.

Please continue to donate today, but do it for Ron Paul, not for Guy Fawkes.

Chill dude. We are trying to keep things positive on this great day. Stop raining on the parade. The 5th has been and will continue to be an HUGE success. Let's focus on that.
