Neo-Cons Try to Copy Ron Paul; Too Little, Too Late

Because the media made sure they wouldn't get it. BUT, things are changing. People are really getting mad and becoming aware. Glenn Beck showed the full Thomas Paine video from YouTube on today. It was an awesome video and the man told it like it is. And Glenn interviewed him. What more do you want?

I am not happy that they didn't get is sooner. We kept telling them but they wouldn't listen. But sometimes this happens. People have to wait until it is hitting them personally before they get their head out of the sand. We can be mad but it is not productive.

We have to move forward and now we can finally show them all of the things we have been wanting to show them.

Since we know the liberty routine better than "they" do, it's up to us to lead and inform them.

in Oregon. So many Neo-Cons are now talking about the Constitution, and Liberty. Where the hell were they when Bush was in office? I'm sticking with the Constitution Party until the Republicons can prove that they have really changed.

This article makes some interesting points, but I am not so sure that the movement is being co-opted by any concerted effort on the part of Neo-Cons; rather, I believe that many of the Tea Party people lack an ideological understanding of the movement--of the economy, of non-interventionist foreign policy, even of the Constitution. Diluting the movement, however, has the same effect of a conspiracy to kill it. These people need to be exposed to what RP thinks, if their anger is to serve any meanful purpose.

However, I am with Average Jane on this one. I had my "conversion experience" the night before the election, after I heard someone on TV say that "the only ones who haven't made up their minds are the stupid ones." Sorry, lady, but in the months before the election I had my mind in the clouds, reading about the Founding Fathers, Paine's Common Sense, the Revolutionary War, and God knows what else. But then again, that is what brought me to RP and the Daily Paul...

I'm rereading this post and damn it, I'm being too polite. Sorry that in your eyes, I wasn't available at the right time to make a difference in the movement. Sorry I missed the RP love train. Sorry you smashed my sense of optimism. Back to the eighteenth century for me...maybe if I ignore it, the whole terrible reality will go away.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

I fully understand that you have the right to be upset because people were not paying attention when it was important. I understand that you are frustrated because you have been screaming the truth at the top of your lungs for some time only to hear silence back. I, in fact, was one of those people who apparently was living under a a rock because I never really heard of Ron Paul. Sure, I woke up, but by then it was too late. After Obama took office and began to take drastic actions, many people like me started searching for something, anything to help us understand the mess we have gotten ourselves into. People are waking up, and you feel its important that you "get all the credit", or "an apology" instead of being overjoyed to see people use the words liberty and freedom? Why should any of that matter? Isn't the REAL purpose to bring people together with the message of freedom not anger? Why is it bad if people watch Glenn Beck? Sure he is a little slimy but hey, if it gets people thinking about freedom and liberty, I for one am glad they are watching. It just seems that people should not be punished for "not knowing" or coming late to the game. I am not a bad person, but I was very unaware. Its not too late for people to get involved, just the other day I passed out a hundred or so fliers urging people to contact their reps about HR 1207. Look, I am sorry that I woke up late, and I would apologize to Dr. Paul a million times, but an angry message like this will only put off people who are searching for a peaceful message of freedom.

To see how this controlled opposition will support liberty minded candidates for house and senate. It will be my guess that the focus will be on meaninless controlled protests, and then when it comes time to actually put liberty minded people into office, we will get a slate of pre-approved candidates to vote for. If they can use up our political energy worrying about iran, worrying about how we should spend the stimulus money (instead of how to undo the stimulus), and staging protests that don't accomplish anything, then when it comes time to actually expend the energy to find the right people to put into office, we'll all be tapped out.

Also they will continue to marginalize RP type candidates. This happened just the other day when they had Dr Paul on Larry King with Alec Baldwin. No one takes Alec Baldwin seriously, and to put Dr Paul on to "debate" him was degrading.

So I would expect for these mock protests to be accompanied by interviews with people like Dr Paul, but they will have him split screened with someone like David Koresh. The message will be that all of these ideas are too radical for the normal person.

If what you report is true, this is a good thing in my view. OK, so they didn't support Ron Paul last year, but now the message is sinking in and taking hold. I don't see a problem. They won't give Ron Paul credit of course, but that's the least of it. They are (if what you say is correct) starting to sew the seeds of change.

What’s strange is that this “movement” is full of new faces that were nowhere to be seen during the Ron Paul Revolution. This new “movement” is being promoted by the Republican party, and neo-con hacks like Glenn Beck - who all did their absolute utmost to slander, squelch, and stop the Ron Paul Revolution.

OK, so they came late to the Revolution - so what? And if the Republicans are behind it, so much the better - that's Ron Paul's party. Glenn Beck is not a neo-con hack. Sean Hannity is. If you saw the interview with Beck and Ron Paul - Beck said he felt like kissing him. Ron just smiled and blinked. Beck is OK. Lay off. Go after Hannity, O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. They are the real flies in the oinment.

Hmmmm... it makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Now that there’s no chance of electing Ron Paul for President and getting REAL change; now that we have safely installed our new boss Obama that is so like the old boss Bush and working so harmoniously with the controlled opposition candidate McCain; now that Republicans have someone they can safely criticize and still be “in” with their party cronies; now that it is “safe” to say you support the Constitution and the Founding Fathers (because now “safe” people like Glenn Beck are saying it); now the timid hordes of controlled, mind-numbed Republicans are once again being herded into a controlled opposition movement.

That paragraph was a real mess! But I don't see anybody being herded. They are waking up. Big difference. They are slowly realizing that Ron Paul was right all along. He won't get the credit per se, but he's on TV pretty regularly now and Republicans (including Beck) are realizing that what he has been saying since 1988 is on-target. No problem.

Because that’s what this movement is. The “establishment” or the “new world order” or whatever you want to call them, were frightened by the Ron Paul movement. There were a lot of us; and, for the most part, we were dedicated, passionate, and educated about freedom, which was very much a threat to the establishment. We were breaking through the “left-right paradigm” that has been used so successfully for so many years to control the people of this country.

I don't agree with that. If some republicans are waking up to Obama and his plans for socialism and a New World Order, they are beginning to resist it. Admittedly, not all - many are 'made' guys and are members of the CFR (as is Obama, Mrs. Obama, Bush, Cheney, Rove, etc). But the writing is on the wall: the new plans are not working. Many are now questioning the existence of, and necessity for, the FED. Others are outraged that the AIG bailout has gone to bonuses for the executives. They are indeed waking up to the vast trouble we face and many are fighting against it.

I think all of this is a very good sign. Whether it will result in any real or meaningful change is the question to be asking.

I may be naiive, but I think Glenn Beck might actually be genuine. If you watch the reports from when he called Guy Fawkes a terrorist up till now, I think you will start to see a steady transition. The other talking heads on the other hand, seem to have only come around after Obama's election.
