Very few things have altered the course of my life. The standards like marriage, children, etc.... you grow to anticipate.
Things like Dr. Paul just sort of blind-side you. I've had my beliefs all my life but no one (in politics) has ever spoken to them with any conviction or understanding until I heard Dr. Paul describe himself as "the champion of the Constitution".
I remember asking my brother, who makes me look mainstream, if this guys was the 'real deal'. He assured me he was.
It's been quite a ride over my last 35 weeks here. I give thanks for all of you, even the idiots and trolls, because I believe we learn from everyone; even if we only learn what an ass other humans can be...
Onward.

I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY ON THIS. And further...
RON PAUL MADE ME A BETTER PERSON.
What more could one ask from a political candidate???
My understanding of right from wrong in politics and government is INFINETELY better today than it was just a year ago.
I'll NEVER forget Dr. Paul in the Republican Debates where I first heard of him.
I knew immediately that this man was the only real voice of truth on that stage.
The courage he showed was remarkable, and his responses were fully backed up with facts which were impossible to repudiate.
And he won every debate.
Since then, by just following his campaign and principles, I've learned more than I could have from a political science degree.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul
I agree his candidacy changed our lives
both by his knowledge and integrity. He made it possible for me to say, " I will never vote for the lesser of two evils again!"
Libera me, let the truth break, what my fears make--Leslie Phillips
But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers
There is no difference between an authoritarian government from the right or the left...F. A.Schaeffer
I agree too. During the campaign, those I campaigned with
remarked how we could never go back to how it was before, and that we had changed and would never be the same again. Dr. Paul even said the same thing! This campaign changed everyone involved in it. I give thanks for that, and wish everyone here had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

thank you
Happy thanksgiving everyone..

Here is a happy Thanksgiving
Here is a happy Thanksgiving bump.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am grateful and thankful for
Finding such a great diverse group of like minded liberty loving Americans.
I also had never voted donated or even gave a second thought on paying attention to politics until Dr Ron Paul introduced me to what freedom really is. That and the great group here at dp keeps me learning and growing as a human and for that I am thankful. Thanks all for being there.
Ditto to
everything you said! Thank you for expressing my thoughts.

Happy Thanksgiving to
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here at DP!
massive gratitude
the A#1 thing I am grateful for this year is that I have found the Ron Paul platform to identify with. I have never identified with ANY political party or movement the way I do now. I have responded to Dr. Paul's speeches as if something long asleep is waking up. I told my friends: people know the Truth when they hear it. Anyway, this is the first time I have ever donated to a political campaign also! I am so grateful! Onward we march in 2009... 2010 and 2012... and beyond. Thank you Dr. Paul and all who have carried the torch of liberty before me. Blessings for a beautiful Thanksgiving to one and all.
I know exactly
what your saying. Never in a million years would I believe that I would be involved in politics. It is just amazing.

NO KIDDING!!!
I hadn't voted for 35 years before pulling the lever for Dr. Paul.

Happy Thanksgiving, LastAmerican

I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.--Hippolyte Taine
Absolutely. Every encounter makes us grow, and for that
we should be thankful.
