2010 is the Year

As someone who's older than many (most) on DP, I don't claim to be smarter (at all), but I've seen more simply due to time-on-planet.

While an impatient young man, I used to work for a guy who had a saying, "Step Up and Look Down". Anytime I'd get aggravated and discouraged about some project or some issue that wasn't going fast enough to suit me, he would calmly utter those words. Years later, I finally figured out what he meant.

WE are the head of a massive spear. Over the last few years, we free-minded Americans have changed the tone of an entire Nation. People are starting to talk (and to think). Ron Paul provided the catalyst and for that, we are all grateful.

Tea parties. 9/12. Townhall meetings. Blogs. Thousands of alternative news websites. Faxes. Emails. Court proceedings. Grassroots candidates. Slowly, people are waking-up en masse and taking action in thousands of different ways. Ironically, Saul Alinsky would be proud, because we are the overwhelming force he described- just devoted to an entirely different end. An end based on the sanctity of Freedom of the Individual.

People are questioning everything.

Interventionist wars and the pursuit of empire? How exactly is money created? What gives an American dollar its value? What are my rights: where do they come from and how are they protected? What exactly is the role of government? Folks have suddenly become re-engaged to the lessons learned in 8th grade social studies and they're demanding answers.

All these questions and hundreds more are being asked daily by growing numbers of people who, just five years ago, were completely asleep. And they're not just idly contemplating the answers for themselves; they're asking their family, their friends, their neighbors and their representatives. There is a mass-awakening happening like nothing any of us have ever seen.

The hollow and empty "powers that be" are crumbling. For the first time (I've ever witnessed) people are questioning what they hear on the news. Even their puppets like Sean and Rush are becoming confused and "off message"- not knowing how to do damage control. The Matrix is buzzing with unanswerable questions and an audience hungry for honesty. We're rattling the very columns of the globalist' efforts. They're scared- and well they should be.

So, don't freak-out. Don't panic. Let's just keep doing what we're doing. Talk to people. Push for answers- hard. Organize protests against bad things. Help folks around us wake-up in a way they can accept and understand. The truth is on our side. The truth is all we need. The truth is absolute. 2010 can be (and may well be) the year when we finally see the beginnings of real hope and change.

So anytime you get bummed and feel like we're not getting anywhere- like our efforts are for a lost cause, just Step Up and Look Down. We're making huge progress in restoring the nation our founders envisioned. We will prevail. The good guys DO always win in the end.

Never quit and you never lose.

Happy New Year to the DailyPaul family!
