The Sentinel

Don't worry, this wasn't Trippi 2004. There was no Trippi helping RP's grassroots. In fact, had RP simply fired most of his campaign staff (and figured out a way for the grassroots to spend the $30M on their own projects), this story might have had a different ending.

Because the message (and not the man) was always foremost in the campaign, this has already become a movement and the remnant is now doing more than most are aware.

Well, here's the problem - government schools have ensured that the powerless young people have no idea what individual freedom really is nor do they realize that they don't really have it.

Statism - period - has pretty much corrupted or co-opted every profession, every group, in fact nearly every single individual into supporting it or accepting it.

(Statism being the desire to control, rule and dominate others, usually but not always using the powers of government to do things that you could not otherwise do by yourself - like go tax your neighbor to pay for a war of aggression, or take his son in a draft. How about tapping his phones? Could you see yourself doing that to your neighbor? No?)

Welcome to the paradoxical evil of statism. If you don't know about it, you're probably part of it. Stop being part of it. I highly recommend "The Philosophy of Liberty" which is a flash animation about 5 minutes long.

If you haven't seen this, you really really need to. I don't care who you are. Here is the url.

I don't understand why nobody wants to write about the blatant MSM black out of RP during the last 6 weeks leading up to Super Tuesday. I mean, nobody wants to question why Larry King Live was never aired the day before IOWA caucus? Nobody cares to find out why, 20/20 with John Stossl was never aired and why was he kept out of NH debate the weekend before NH Primary?

Media, how about researching and writing about your bias towards Dr. Paul instead of keep on repeating like a parrot how fringe and longshot of a candidate he is, over and over again.

r3VOLution Continues...

Mr. Paul was NOT recognized by the media and the "powers that be" simply because he, and us, are not playing in the same ball game as they! The Trilateralists, bankers, big corporations, One Worlders, will not have an honest man like Mr. Paul at the helm of the greatest nation in the world. Unfortunately, the only way MAN can change it is by a true Revolution, say: "1776" style. FORCE is what they are using against us - AND - FORCE is all they understand. They don't believe in God, Jesus Christ, or The Holy Spirit - (the ONE to whom they will bow eventually, so they don't understand the "Golden Rule": "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!"
WE ARE THEIR SLAVES/Pawns and will remain so unless we take matters into our own hands. Unless we are willing to do that, we are merely "blowing in the wind"!

You wrote: . There are the true believers, of course, who have already canonized Paul as the patron-saint of everything right and good in America, the same people who, more often than by chance, find themselves on late-night chat rooms expressing their concern that AIDS is a biological weapon manufactured by the government.

Way to throw a million supporters all in one basket. This is called "marginalizing".

Here's an example:
More than 50% of Americans belive in UFO's.
Hillary Clinton has supporters from across the spectrum of the U.S. population.
Therefore, more than 50% of Hillary suppporters believe in UFO's.

Now here we go:
"There are true believers that Hillary Clinton will still win the nomination, but they are the same people who believe in little green men from Mars."

See how that works? I can do it too! :-)

Brian - Bump
Hillary Clinton's followers believe in little green men from Mars.
I love it.

I refer you to the comments of Hugh Bodey.

reality check: in a nation of around 226 million people, 1 million supporters is pretty damn marginal. It's great that you're a Ron Paul fan. I am too. Interesting that I never saw you at any of our campus planning meetings.

Don't marginalize yourself, Brian. Get involved.

ps-I'm being %100 serious here: that human/gorilla sex hypothesis is total trash. here's mine: AIDS was a biological weapon developed by the Nixon and later the Reagan administration to de-populate/de-stabilize Africa, thus allowing us to move in and claim that continent's vast wealth in natural resources. As a side, the fact that the virus also hit the homosexual/drug user communities hard is perfectly in line with both Nixon's and Reagan's personal beliefs. Sounds like a pretty plausible theory to me.

Zach, I know you well enough to pick you out of a lineup, we lived in Haverfield and Drackett, but I totally did not know that you were a Paulite... However, you should note that 226 million is slightly less than the population of Indonesia; the population of the United States is 300 million almost on the dot, so that 1 million strong is even MORE marginalized...

Furthermore, the idea that AIDS was intentionally released (by a President?) to ravage the poor, hungry, gay, intravenous drug users of the world is completely debase. AIDS is simply a conglomerate of symptoms caused by the retrovirus HIV, so if anything was "released" it was HIV, not AIDS. Isn't it bad enough that millions of years of evolution have left us with the remnants of a virus which has co-evolved with humans over time to be almost 100% fatal? The same thing that made life as we know it possible (see RNA world hypothesis) is also a key component of ending those lives. And somehow a President is at the head of this? I think we all have seen ID-4 too many times if we think the President has actual power, sure he may have the capacity to have certain individuals murdered, but to have something of a Manhattan Project scale with the sole purpose of aimlessly murdering millions, all without anyone noticing?
