ARE WE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN?

ARE WE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN?

You know, an image of that painting of George Washington kneeling in prayer beside his horse in the woods at Valley Forge keeps popping into my head and I wonder if we, like the demoralized continental army troops holed up there in that terrible winter of 1777-1778 are not more alike than different.

I have seen people on My Space and the blogosphere in general throw up their hands because the blimp is gone, money bombs are only a fraction of what they were and there have been no decisive break throughs. A lot of fair weather patriots are already back to their cynical haunts saying that there is no future in the movement. Still, a cadre of diehards keep plugging along as if the numbers and the lost battles don't matter. I would imagine that this is a bit of what was going through George's mind during that prayer. It was inconceivable that a ragtag band of dirty hungry men defeated the worlds biggest superpower at that time.... yet does anyone doubt that we did?

Someone once said that God and a courageous man makes a majority. Surely there is logic in that as God created everything out of nothing with a thought alone. The courageous or honest man is superfluous but I do think God wants us to try and that is the meaning of this effort. If we bring along the pry bar, he will add whatever lifting needs to be done. I think there is a catch in that though, that we have to acknowledge where the power comes from. Maybe if we as a group instead of gathering together and waving signs at lugheads sit down either together or alone at a designated time and offer a prayer for inspiration, and the power to effect change for our country we too will realize our goals for our country. It's not going to be easy, it's not going to be overnight but it is never hopeless as long as we have hope.

Just think of what might happen, something could happen that causes McInsane to drop out or be pushed out and then, there certainly would be a brokered convention. I am not advocating giving up by any stretch, just collectively dropping down on a bent knee and asking for divine guidance and then getting back up and soldiering on.

I Ron Pauled part of St Clair Avenue in East Liverpool with pole signs and the strip section of Lisbon near the post office which threw me out earlier and McDonalds. I have used up all the pole signs I have and have about 6 yard signs that I will try to place in the highest traffic locations in the county the next couple of days as I am sure they will last until Tuesday.

I got into a conversation at work where someone asked me why I hadn't given up as Paul cannot win by responding," O.K. I will grant you that he might not win the Ohio primary, but do you expect me to give up my core values to support the three losers still in the race?, How about you, if murder or rape suddenly became fashionable and popular, would you jump on the band wagon or retain your values even if you were the last man on earth to do so?" He responded that he had never thought about it that way but said, "good point" We must not let people wear down our convictions- it is after all the ideas and not the man we are supporting.
Even good Dr. Paul has said that.

Think about it folks.
