We Are Winning!!!
I know many of us have gotten frustrated with the slow pace of the liberty movement (I expected to have Dr. Paul in the Oval Office by now) but I think we deserve a small pat on the back...because we are winning this war.
Just a few warm fuzzies for us to reflect it.
1) We brought a candidate to the national forefront (the good doctor) who pounded lesser men in the debates for months. I think Dr. Paul singlehandedly ruined Rudy's hope for a nomination.
2) Under heavy bombardment by Dr. Paul...Ben Bernanke testified in front of congress that inflation is a hidden tax.
3) We had the whole country up in arms over the bank bailout...I remember a stat like 95% of Americans opposed it. They passed it anyway, but this only feeds our movement.
4) We have contributed to turning America into a country of savers. People are actually saving more money than they're borrowing this year.
5) We are winning the war against socialized medicine. Across the country, the Obama nation is being bitchslapped by better informed freedom minded patriots.
6) We are going to retake congress, starting in 2010. We are going to have a Dr. Paul in both houses of congress, and many other freedom minded candidates who'll be getting a piece of the money we sent Ron Paul over the last 2 years. (does anyone question the wisdom of not wasting that money in Iowa now?)
Take a pause, see how far we've come, and then get back to work. Redouble your efforts to communicate our ideas to everyone you love and care about, and sharpen your own skills so you can produce a more convincing argument.
We can win this, but it will be a long fight. Our enemies will not lay down their power unless they have no choice...they will not give up so neither must we.
We can stop this goddamn cycle of boom/bust, and the result will be sustainable growth and prosperity that will spread our ideas around the world. The collectivists around the world will be silenced by real results...and this evil that has infected the world will be a thing of the past.
We can do this...America can, in our lifetimes, become the shining city on the hill, a beacon for freedom, and something we can all be proud of.
Keep it up!
oh yeah...please digg me





















Inspiring post, Jzneff!
You said below that you were having a bad day---thank you for your post which makes it a good day for me and others!
As much as I know we'd all LIKE to believe Dr. Paul ruined
Rudy's chances, Rudy ruined himself by focusing on Florida and being a lame candidate to begin with. All he is is 9/11, 9/11.

I think it was in the national debate, right here I think Rudy's chances died.

Making Federal Reserve an Issue...
for the first time since its 1913 founding, not quite dinner topic in every home in America, but as the controlled collapse squeezes each household more some memory may linger and be reminded that Ron Paul was THE only one that made point of talking about it during the election season.
I attribute this ever growing common knowledge, as a direct result of Ron Paul bringing it up in 2007-2008 campaign season, and all of you picking up the ball and campaigning for HR1207 at all your local CONgressmen/women's offices and lighting up their DC office switchboards.
I'd say that's the biggest so far. Though a the paranoia bit whispers that the HealthCare suddenly became the top issue to stave off some of HR1207/S604 momentum. But I think NWO miscalculated. Though certainly Geitner losing his cool recently, and Bernake on the verge of tears on PBS, hiring former ENRON lobbyists, which alone, should speak volumes to LiBs as to the legitimacy of the FED, they're certainly afraid of the can of worms the Good Doctor has popped open; there no stopping the momentum of this movement to END the FED!
Of course, the BigPharma bribery, corporatist-fascist collusion that is HR3200 has certainly, at least on MSM, has taken Audit the FED out to a slower burn, but we should prepare for the second wave.
Any of you guys see Real Time with Bill Maher (NOT a fan), couple of weeks ago, when HR1207 was brought up by Maher, and some UK Statist plant teaching at Harvard who was completely clueless and PRAISED Bernake as the "Best man" for the job? Maher acted ignorant, admitted he has no idea what the FED is, or does, but I suspect more of "playing dumb," by Maher and some of the guests.
However, if what he said is true, it'd be nice to get the Doc on to EXPLAIN, to the entire country and lay out how our currency is actually produced. Once that's done, perhaps by the next Monday morning, the Cali liberals would be out burning FED notes, instead of holding on to it. Hell, at this rate, I'm sure their Cali-State IOU notes would be worth more than the Dollar. Either way, such appearance would surely help the entrenched progressives and Libs to perhaps awaken and prompt them to tune into this issue more seriously. As there's only so much blogging, screaming and DVDs we can hand out, before a person comes to conclusion on hist/her own pace, accord and urgency enough to truly change or evolve view, from within, they have to be the ones willing to look into for themselves. But, I say, always more potential Allies waiting in the wing.

doesn't need to *play* dumb, if you know what I mean.

Great Post
and you are absolutely right. Young people are too used to everything instant and fast. Nothing worthwhile is instant and fast. This mess didn't happen overnight so it won't get solved overnight.

We all need a little gratification
Everyone likes a reward for their hard work...probably the most frustrating thing we can experience is a lack of gratification. That's what will destroy our movement...if we can't meet simple goals along the way.
Even getting a few people seated in congress next year will be a major victory. We need to meet this simple goal to envigorate this movement to make a serious run for the throne in 2012.
Dr. Paul (either one) Gary Johnson, Jesse Ventura (yes I'm serious) or anyone else is going to need our help in 2012...but they will also need some advocates in congress...and we can get them this help next year.
The fight for Dr. Paul to be president gave this movement the spotlight we needed to really gain some steam. I should know, I only started reading after hearing that a condidate for GOP president wanted to abolish the income tax. But it wasn't a reality...does anyone still think it was possible? We had the world against us...but we did not give up. They called us Paultards and other stuff because we refused to take no for an answer. Why would we march for this guy who obviously doesn't have a chance.
It wasn't the man...not this time. It wasn't the glowing and charasmatic character or someone who's name we knew. Dr. Paul has all of the charisma of a abrasive undertaker (no offense). It wasn't a bunch of people blindly led by a smiling face. it was the message.
He was right. He knew what was right for America, and we knew it. No one else would do for us, because everyone else was so wrong in comparision.
We have the message, and through Dr. Paul, we the people spoke in a loud voice...GOVERNMENT, STOP DOING THINGS "FOR" US! WE DON'T NEED YOU TO TAKE OUR MONEY AND GIVE IT TO OTHERS!
Now this movement had the spotlight it needed...now it's up to us. The next step isn't the impossible presidential shot...it's the congressional races. There are 469 seats up for grab in the US Congress. We have the means, the resources, and the people to win some of those races.
This movement needs a tremendous invigoration. We need a shot in the arm before we begin our individual works to get some people in Washington that represent our will and consent. Some men in Washington who represent the constitution and freedom. Who represent what is right for America.
Find one of those people to represent you in Washington, and ride that horse like he's in the derby. You might not have been able to make a chunk in the 2008 election, but now that we have the attention of America, we can make a big difference.
We've done some stuff alright...but we have a world of work ahead of us. Remember where we've come from...and maybe it'll be a little more reachable to take that next step.
I'm starting to think I should have made this it's own thread...oh well.

Right on
Another thing I want to mention is the fact that so many of us were noobs politically until Dr. Paul charged us up, so now we have an election cycle under our belts. We now have very valuable experience canvassing, gathering signatures, holding rallys, fundraising, working fairs etc.etc. and we also have a loose organization. I made lots of good friends in the meetups and we are sticking together. We will learn from our mistakes and do it better next time. This scares the crap out of them.
Let us not forget HR1207
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must. like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.-Thomas Paine
possibly the most important bill that Ron Paul has sent to congress. We are at 283, and need to continue to contact these critters daily with the daily fax and email bombs. That is the most important thing we have going right now, and the most victorious effort we have had yet!! I believe we are the ones keeping the chains from coming faster, and anyone being active should feel proud of that. Please everyone, participate in the daily HR 1207, S604 bombs. I have slacked on them this week due to trying to sell my house, and trying to keep my business alive, but have consitently worked on them daily the weeks prior. I am going to set aside time to participate tomorrow, and from now on once again.

The R3volution requires action, not observation!!!!
I won't add this one
I'm not going to throw up great legislation that Dr. Paul has written, because he's been doing this since the 1970's.
If anyone else can think of some victories (things we have done, not are doing) I will add it to the list.

Good post
It's great to point out the progress that's been made. Just a note to those who have woken up only relatively recently: I've been a libertarian since around 1994 (anyone remember the so-called Republican Revolution?) and in that time I can't really recall anything like what I'm seeing now. Obviously it helps that our criminal regime's rotten system is finally collapsing under the weight of its own corruption and contradiction, but the efforts of so many newly awakened Americans is truly awesome and gratifying to behold.
THERE ARE WAY MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM. Wake enough of "us" up and their game is over. What a glorious day that will be.

Thanks,
... for a moment I was disappointed.
Bump for
the reality that we are making a difference, More than most of us realise I think. I think some of us even get offended because they see others doing what we started like they stole our ideas or something.
Ever think they learned something from us and are following our lead? Because we rock!
Can't steal my ideas
You can't steal what I'm willing to give away for free. I'm just happy to have made a difference...someone else can have the credit.
I want a better world for my daughter...it doesn't matter to me if I go down in history as one who made it better.

So I get frustrated about this too, then I realize a couple things:
1. it is very lame for me to get frustrated about this because I didn't have my political awakening until a couple months ago. Sooo, I know for a fact that the movement is still gaining momentum.
2. progress may be slow, but it is steady. I don't think that the liberty movement looses support. Maybe it's not as fast as it should be, but it only moves in one direction. once you get it, you get it. I have never had political clarity like I have now.

You warm my heart with your story of your recent awakening. We all have our awakening in our own time...take the red pill. I've met many who took the red pill over a decade ago, but they have been warm to and forgiving about my sleepiness until 2006.

On a personal front:
I started my two dollar bill campaign and so far, it has been a shining success in getting people to ask me why two dollar bills. Giving me the opening I wish to move in to the fed, history, or what books and websites to read/go to.
I actually have family and friends asking me for advice. Wanting to buy books for their relatives, sons, daughters, nieces and nephews. I can actually say I have personally turned hundreds on to the idea of true freedom and our fine Dr. is right. "Freedom is POPULAR" !!!
I truly believe that the American spirit has been, and still is, underestimated and I will fight until my dying day for it.
