This reminds me of a very quotable statement...

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

Did you think the whole world would have some revelation that the elite are corrupt... and rise up to fight the oppression?

No.

It's more like a small group of people that will fight the coming changes, waking up small groups along the way who will help us in our endeavour.

Look At The Big Picture

The Daily Paul is just one website out of hundreds that are helping to wake people up. I may visit 15 or 20 different political websites in a day, such as Lew Rockwell, Prison Planet, Antiwar.com, whatreallyhappened.com, etc.

There are other Ron Paul websites out there and other similar(ish) political forums. They all help our cause in a synergistic way.

I see us here as some of the most 'awake' and hardcore political activists on the net (I guess Remnant is my favourite word). We are best when we work as a unit, when we generate new ideas and when we share important information.

Some of the stuff we talk about is way beyond the average Joe, and that's why I rarely recommend this website to newbies. I like to start people off with Lew Rockwell's site and then move forward from there. Hey, that's what Dr. Paul starts his day with :-)

Happy To Be With Like Minded People

When I started on this journey back in the mid-1990's, I honestly thought I was the only one who thought like myself (I was naive). Now, 15 years later, I feel truly blessed that there are thousands and thousands of people who think like me.

The fact that I get to interact with ONLY a few hundred a day (on this site) is still an amazing feeling - 479 is better than feeling like you are the only one in the world. I see the glass as half full; stay positive, our growth trend is headed up.

One Last Thing

I'm not even American. I live in Canada. No one asked me to join the website or help Dr. Paul in this election. But here I've been, helping out for the last, umm, 42 weeks and 3 days. There are users from all over the world on this site, at all times. This is great.

We Daily Paulers are like a single flower in a garden full of weeds. When we can show people how beautiful our ideas are, our influence will go global.

Ron Paul is my President.

With the sort of posts I've

With the sort of posts I've seen lately, I'm surprised we have 348 guests.

Infighting among ourselves has always been common here, but lately that--plus Conspiracy Clucking--the only thing left on this Forum. I think I actually prefer the infighting. This is like Rense.com without the cool graphics now.

getting fuzzier. But the enemy of my enemy is my-something. All wars draw camp followers with aims more, er, personal.

I think a lot of us are on a plateau ...

so to speak. We've been through a lot and need to WAKE UP ALL OVER AGAIN w/ VIGOR! Watch this video to it's end and it will make you feel powerful and ready for the next round all over again!

People aren't very attracted to bumbed out messages even though they're true! I know because I've been pissed off and realized that I've been turning people off.

Watching the video made me feel good again because it ain't over yet!!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvuxDm_a9bU

"I know because I've been pissed off and realized that I've

been turning people off."

-Check

I might be able to quote other people all night that are thinking/doing the same thing I am thinking doing. I believe I will because it is making me less pissed off. I'll stop before my PO level gets dangerously low. and, uh :-) smiley face

May seem small, but

You have no idea how many people are hitting this site. Such as Unique Users, Visits, or Page Impression. You might be surprised.

I analyze web site activity for a living. I would love to crunch Michaels website transaction logs for these overview stats. I know how crazy us Paulers are about our privacy. Fortunately a standard audit process does not cross any privacy lines.

It's kind of expensive though.

"I know how crazy us Paulers are about our privacy"

I thought I was the only one. Which made me think-"if I have nothing to hide what is my problem dude" ;-)

PS-I am trying to make a point of doing more smiley faces w/ my posts, thinking in some small way it offsets tension (in case it ever got tense in
here ;-) did it again). Anyway, if it is annoying or adding tension to the Big Picture someone please tell me. Gently of course.

What are you fightin' for?

Freedom is only for those with the guts to defend it!

Here is my other

tension reducing concept, as if my first was any good.

Most of us are fairly serious individualists and just plain SERIOUS all the time. Job #1 is deadly serious. Perhaps it may help bring new revolutionaries to the REVOLUTION if we all try to develop ways to make REVOLTING against your government seem more FUN!!!

Such as making a point in greeting fellow REVOLUTIONARIES like this:

Hello daughter4liberty, how's your corner of the REVOLUTION shakin today?

"You are a den of vipers and thieves."

I mean to rout you out!

-Just because you are among us, does not make you with us

-The door is wide open, anything can slither in

Well, I must say that your tension reducing concepts work quite

well! LOL or is that a ;-) or a :-) ?? Anyhow, I haven't stopped laughing since I first read your post here! I do my best to lighten things up around here, doesn't always work...but in most cases, people get my drift! ;-) This is the time when I try to lighten the mood anyhow!

In response to your question, my corner of the REVOLUTION has been a bit neglected today since I haven't been home. :-(
How's yours shakin'??

I think the Revolution would make for a fascinating

study in human behavior and group dynamics. Throw a bunch of fiercely independent people together w/ the primary impetus for uniting is so they can rewin their independence as quickly as possible so they can all get back to doing their various individual own thing. Being what they are, they each naturally brim w/ ideas on how to get this sucker over with/what is important.
Mix thoroughly, serve COLD-cause it's gonna get mighty HOT, mighty Quick.

It's good that you try to lighten up the nightshift.

"I haven't been home." ?? Not sure what you mean by that. To answer your question about my corner of the revolution it's REVOLTING-as usual.

"You are a den of vipers and thieves."

Haven't been home. Thought that was clear enough...guess not

What part didn't you get?? I haven't been around all day to stir anything up here on the Daily Paul! ;-) (smirk)

Seems to me this forum is ALREADY an experiment in what you describe! LOL No one's going to tell anyone they can or can't do something around here without giving a thorough explanation of their reasoning and/or a debate. Can get pretty ugly sometimes, but everyone either ends up agreeing to disagree or becoming best buds. ;-)

So, is REVOLTING good or bad in your corner??

Ah, got it

Not sure if that was fatigue or just being dense. REVOLTING is very good!! That is what we revolutionaries do when our corner becomes so revolting we can't stand it anymore.

D4L, may I call you that?, where is your corner of the revolution located? West? East? Offshore?

Well, let's see, I don't know you too well...but my friends

call me D4L or Girk...hmmm....w-e-l-l...ok, you can call me D4L. ;-) Can I call you gm?

My corner of the revolution, guess that would be one of those! LOL 1:00 AM here. What time is it in your corner?

seriously thought about this

seriously thought about this the other night, after flipping past an episode of some mtv show following some hippie kids feeling bad about their carbon print and subsequently dropping off the grid.

we have always been the fringe

.

What is the highest number

of users and guests you have seen? I never really paid attention to those numbers until about a week ago.

"You are a den of vipers and thieves."

my memory is not that good

but I think it was around high 300s users and 1200 guests
correct me if I am wrong

There was a post last week during

bailout surge? that pointed out iirc 600+ guests as being a high amount.
Which made me realize I had no idea whether that was high. I have since
followed the totals but still had no frame of reference. Thanks to you, now I do. Thanks :-)

Remember 3%

Remember, only 3% fought for the American Revolution.
Many even turned coat and joined the enemy.
TV wasn't around then so now we compete with dancing with the stars.

I've been talking to family members about preparing, they say, I'm not going to watch the bad news or I can't listen to that all the time or it will kill me. Frankly, think back to what woke each one of us up. Me, I was driving near Naples, Florida heard a guy on the radio named George Gordon explain a few things. I was shocked, pulled the car over onto the shoulder and made some notes. Ended up calling the guy later and decided to attend his law school. Read everything I could and understood & joined the patriot movement. When I heard about Ron Paul, maybe around October or November 2007, for the first time I saw a true statesman. I still work for liberty & freedom. As a former Army MP, I saw the light.

Pretty frustrating, huh?

A lot of people, in the process of showing off what they either know or think they know, get terribly rude.

--Cliff, Sioux City, Iowa

It could be because

of all the drama and other BS ego wars and what not that have occured over the last year. Hell, I rarely post here anymore, though I lurk daily.

Also, the NWO stuff SCARES PEOPLE AWAY!

When I talk politics I say "Globalists and transnational companies like..."
not "the NWO". Most people latch on to the conspiracy sounding stuff and shut you down. It's a process and it is slow.

I'm suprised we still have 100 people here after all the hate and discontent spread by infiltrators and trolls.

This truly is the remnant, the die-hardiest of the die-hards.

I continue to salute you all.

I'll go back to lurking now.

You Make A Good Point

Offline, I never use the terms "New World Order", "Illuminati", etc. The terms either scare people away, or they have already formed an opinion regarding the people who use the terms. I use the words "The Elite/s", "The Establishment", or "Global Socialists".
