Why Many Young People Love Ron Paul And Why Many Older People Despise Him

"AgainstCronyCapitalism.org". Lewis and the writer of this head fake/divide and conquer piece, Nick Sorrentino, are listed as the two founders of "AgainstCronyCapitalism.org".

Note-World Bank, Rockefeller and similar ties.

"AgainstCronyCapitalism.org" does not list who the board members are or where their funding source.

"The best way to control the opposition is to lead it"

LENIN

Assessment.

Couldn't disagree more w/ your "analysis".

Harsh? Yes. This matter is too important to allow deeply erroneous concepts to take root.

May reply in detail later.

P.S.-Who is this dude?

P.P.S.-What is the FULL scoop on this .org, againstchronycapitalism.org?

P.P.P.S.-Why does this have a strong flavor of divide and conquer-one of the oldest control schemes of the controllers/would be controllers throughout human existence?

I'm 64 and think many seniors are influenced by the belief that America is always the good guy. We fought to save the world from Hitler, we struggled in Vietnam to stop atheistic communism from spreading despite the protests of spoiled anti-war, peace-nik, free-love, long-haired, pot-smoking hippies, and during the Reagan years Ollie North got secret aid from arms sales to Iran to Nicaraguan Contras to fight the socialist Sandinistas, etc. Ron Paul's "anti-war" (bad term: we should say he is for Constitutional war), "legalize marijuana and heroin" (he needs to emphasize that ending the Federal War on Drugs leaves state drug regulations in tact, breaks the profitability of drug cartels, and allows compassionate state medical marijuana laws, while keeping the feds from regulating alternative medicine and foods like raw milk), and "isolationism" (his opponents tar him with this term to give the impression to those who fought Germany and Japan in WW II that Ron Paul would be a Neville Chamberlain that would not have stopped the Nazis in time) all remind seniors of the "unpatriotic hippies" of a few decades past.

And, of course there is the wide acceptance of the notion that Israel must be supported at all costs because of the prevalence in most Christian churches of, I believe, the mistaken Biblical interpretation that God has a special plan for the modern state of Israel yet to be fulfilled in the future. It is true that Ron Paul's positions are not anti-Israel regardless, but evangelical pastors, and thus their sheep, are ingrained with this notion that Christians must support God's people in the modern state of Israel-- especially since nuclear Iran with its desire to destroy Israel and the U.S. is on the horizon seeking to impose sharia law on the world. Many do not realize that the modern state of Israel is pro-abortion, mostly secular and atheistic, full of prostitution, and oppressive to the Arabs in the country--pretty much the antithesis of conservative Christian social values. Yet, tragically, evangelical Christians due primary to this supposedly biblical belief about Israel, are probably the most united and influential block of voters (and mainly in the Republican party), supporting our pre-emptive wars and liberty-killing anti-terrorism laws.

There are lots of interlocking pieces to this world view that have to be taken apart almost simultaneously. Usually they can only be weakened little by little, and we all tend to gravitate towards information that supports views we already hold. Listening to other views and really seeking the truth is difficult, time-consuming, and sometimes frightening.

But Dr. Paul has continued to speak the truth as he sees it, and the pillars of the establishment are tottering. An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped. We can only continue on in hopes that it won't be long before that last pillar falls.

To that end, here is a little piece I wrote on Dr. Ron Paul: Champion of the Senior Citizen!

This article is very thoughtful, and brings up some good points. I think it should emphasize more, that we are really talking about rate of conversion. The younger folks are seeing the reality at a quicker rate than the older generations. Its because the younger generation uses knowledge tools differently. Its all happening, just not as fast as many of us would like it too.

It is only about exposure, not age.

Internet vs msm

Groups?

I can tell you its the tv. They have been conditioned to believe the "news" is reality to the point you can put proof otherwise right in front of them, and they literally cannot comprehend the disparity. Growing up I always thought it strange that my father would sit in the evenings watching news show after news show and they were almost the same a little difference in national and local but mostly the same stories. But this is what they were told would make them informed. But every time we show them something which doesn't fit with how they know the world to be ( because the "news" said so) it does disrupt them a bit eventually they will start waking up.

It's really is a indication on where they get their news & information from

People over 40 mostly still get News from Old Media (Major Network TV & print Papers)

People under 40 mostly get their news from the Internet (Blogs, Alt Media, YouTube, etc..)

Not saying that everyone is this way but it is true generally. I have always said that people are mostly good but can only make decisions based on the info they are given. So bad info (from Old Media) = bad decisions & better, more honest, complete info makes for better decisions.

They have had much more exposure to MSM lies and propaganda. Many senior citizens are also receiving their social security checks from the government. The younger generations typically use the internet more and do not rely on MSM for their news. Younger generations also realize that they will not receive social security that they pay into every paycheck.

Once the government is unable to keep their promise and the seniors are not getting their social security, the generation as a whole will begin to question the establish and will have an awakening.

But let's not wait for that to happen. Let's continue to spread liberty and freedom from our central planners in Washington.

does nothing to help a 40+ individual understand what Dr. Ron Paul is about. 40+ individuals would be even more entrenched in their set beliefs if they viewed this as a guest to the DP site. Maybe you should utilize your energy to attempt to reach the vast numbers of 40+ who stopped involving themselves in politics (for whatever reason) and are finally looking to see if there's any way the current totalitarian take-over can be stopped. Your guess is as good as mine what would work for this, but it should be positive and not divisive.
Thanks for reading some thoughts from a 40+.

Older people are the heaviest watchers of television news.

The television news is controlled by the establishment.

Older people are controlled by the establishment.

Q.E.D.

They see themselves as Republicans or Democrats, and they really aren't sure what that entails but they know that there are organizations called the Republican Party and the Democrat party, and these respective parties will tell them who to vote for.

The party does the thinking so the voter doesn't have to.

Its clear that neither party is supporting Ron Paul much, so to these people the Good Doctor is kind of an unknown quantity and to be avoided.

More intelligent voters and those willing to open their eyes support Doctor Paul. But the Party Sheeple described may never support him unless their party does.

And the young at heart. Jacques Lusseyran, blind, sixteen year old leader of the youth underground in Nazi occupied Paris said in his autobiography that young people are far more likely to join a resistance movement as they have less or lose then older, more established people do, especially those with responsibilities such as children and homes and mortgages. But the young at heart, and there are lots of us (I'm 64), are here too. I thank God for the enthusiam and energy of the young people and the wisdom and level-headedness of the elders, and vice versa. Let us go on together, arm-in-arm, to victory!
