After todays comments about how fascism will be delivered to us in a trojan package, dressed up in a flag, carrying cross and pandering to the people, I am left with choice but to turn off the intertubes, close my eyes and turn away.
I am very saddened by my decision, but I would rather bury my head in the sand than risk losing the love of my life. I can't allow politics, Fox News, and media pundits like Sean Hannity to create turmoil in our marriage and in our lives.
Todays comments didn't go over so well; I felt a fracture in our relationship like a broken bone when Paul delivered that uppercut which left me blindsided. My intelligent, beautiful, loving and caring wife equated those comments with Romneys direct attack on Mormons; that they are as anti-american as any anti-war activist who says the terrorists are freedom fighters. Those words, in her misguided interpretation of them, demonstrate his true colors.
Its not her fault; She just doesn't understand the context of his meaning; she doesn't understand that what Ron Paul said, in plain english, is "Those who would enter our homes and do us harm would present themselves as a friend; someone we can trust, by enthusiastically selling themselves and associating with the same principles that define us."
I place the blame directly on Fox news. They casually tossed a loaded question at Paul which bounced off and blew up in their faces, but unfortunately, it also blew up in the faces of honest God fearing, God loving conservatives who just don't get it. They don't see the MSM for who they are. They don't see through the deceptions. They don't associate their actions as being subversive, sinister. They only see what is on the surface; the surface which Ron Paul appeared to say, "Patriotic Christians are Fascists."
I am very hopeful for Ron Paul, for all of us, and I think he can win, and I also know that even if he doesn't get the nomination, it won't stop this movement. I feel everything has been set in motion, the sparkes have ignited the flames, this is the next great movement since the civil rights movement. We will reject facism. We will reject communism. We reject socialism. We will reject ALL forms of tyranny. We will have our freedom. That this is the greatest and freest nation on Earth. l will just have to hear about it after the fact and not try to be a part of it. I would rather be hand-cuffed in a prison, locked away in a torture cell, and dead and buried than to have these hard feelings between us.
I am very very saddened as I write this; and I am telling you only becase I needed to tell it to someone who would understand. I hope you understand. And I wish everyone the very best.
Go Ron Paul!! Go!
