Comment: I think elections will never bring us back to freedom.

First of all, those working behind the scene only let us choose from the candidates they finance. Interlopers like Ron Paul are effectively excluded.

Those who value freedom highly just have their energies drained when they enter the political arena. Look at what happened to us. While I don't see the Occupy movement as freedom loving, look at what happened to them when they gave up their occupation protests, and instead tried to accomplish their goals in the election process in Wisconsin. Ineffective, ineffective, ineffective.

Unfortunately the majority are not with us. They may mouth the word freedom and wave their flags, but they willingly accept subjugation, not freedom. Feeding at the government trough is worth enduring tyranny for so many of our fellow citizens.

When government can't be changed by voting, we are faced with the choice of accepting our slavery or attempting to shut down government by other means. In history such efforts take the form of peaceful protests, riots, sabotage, and eventually violent revolt. At this point, I doubt that the freedom movement could get out 20,000 people for a peaceful protest; we simply don't have the numbers yet, and won't until the level of pain and suffering from the present system of plunder and control finally crosses the threshold where enough of us perceive revolting will bring them less pain than going along to get along. Until then it is just, "bend over and grab your ankles".
