My old world view in ashes.. in its place - a beast. This is why I MUST vote for Ron Paul.

I wish i were so well-spoken that I could properly illustrate my world view. Then those who ridicule might understand. It would take many hundred pages and lots of time (politics is only a very small chunk of it) so it may never happen. Briefly, my world paradigm had been eroding for many years as I saw how quickly science was advancing, how things become obsolete over time, as I listened to politicians babble on about this or that new law or policy, as I turned on the news and listened to the latest garbage. If my world used to be a shiny silver statue, then as the surface layer slowly got eaten away by the constant barrage of deception, corruption, lies, greed, and war, it became apparent that underneath the glorious silver shell was something else entirely. Something not so silver and glorious.

I've always been critical of government and I always wondered as a kid why, if we live in a free country, are there so many things we're not allowed to do? Despite what many of my friends and family may think, I'm a critical thinker as well as a very creative thinker - although I can't deny that Ron Paul's message was instantly attractive given my eroding silver statue. When the message first resonated with me the statue flat out shattered and my old world view crumbled around me knees (to paraphrase Bob Dean) and what was left in its place was a dark, fluid monster whose hunger for control and power would never be sated.

After I heard Ron Paul speak I was compelled to learn more. I researched many histories, 2 schools of economics, several forms of government, federal law, business law.. all kinds of things. Not that I'm a doctor or anything, and not that I was trying to debunk Dr. Paul, nor was I trying to affirm his message. I just learned because I now had an interest in these things. The implications of what he was saying were far to great to dismiss as "loony" simply because they weren't anchored to the majority. They were far too great for me to remain uninformed. (I consider any who call him "loony" or "crazy" to be delusional and intentionally ignorant.)

Now, over in Reality, what I found after so long is that there are MANY reasons why I support this guy. Here are just a few. That eastern hatred of us is a result of our puppet dictators and military occupation of their holy land is very real. That, as a result of printing trillions of dollars, our cost of living is going up while our earning power remains the same and the buying power of our dollars is going down is very real. That our congress (and our presidency), both democrat and republican, is bought and owned by the super-rich is very real - and very dangerous.

Agree with him or disagree with him, Ron Paul is the only candidate who is willing to talk about these things - the real, core issues. No one else wants to talk about them because they are all a part of it. Their veins are their bank accounts and their blood runs green. He's not the tap-dancing, smooth talking, hollow promising, bigoted sound biter that all the rest are. (By "All the rest" I'm including Obama.)

I have to vote for him because he genuinely represents freedom, honesty, diplomacy, and transparency. To call him dangerous couldn't be farther from the truth. What's dangerous to me is the road we are currently on.

So we are at an impasse. Do we continue down this road of military interventionism or do we embrace the idea of diplomacy, trade, and peace? Do we continue to print money so that our government essentially has an endless supply or do we live within our means? Do we continue to have a congress and a president who represents the will of the big money groups who buy their votes or do we replace congress and the president with those who represent the individuals?

I'll help you to answer that - People in this country are suffering because of the bad choices made in Washington DC over the last century. Mistakes MUST be corrected.

Vote for The Doctor. Let the New American Revolution begin.
