Please help , i am an iggnorant american
I have come to realize that i am out of my educational league here. I was awakened to this revolution by a man i had only spoken to on a few brief occasions . I was working in the basement of a two hundred year old church replacing the heating system when a political conversation broke out between myself and this gentlemen. I spoke my mind, or atleast what the msm implanted into it.I quickly realized this mans passion for his candidates message and character was unique. he did not mention Ron Pauls name until the very end when he simply told me to google Ron Paul.i was interested in what he told me about Dr. Paul so i did just that. Through different links i ended up at DP and found my home.I quickly realized the level on wich those forum operates and it scared the shit out of me. i type with two fingers and spend more time trying to correct mispelled words than i can afford. I vist this site multiple times a day for several months but have been affraid to post anything.I have come to realize that i cant spell , my vocabulary is lacking and my grammer is shit.I am considered to be an inteligent man by those around me but my education leaves much to be desired. I am asking for your help DP i have niether the time nor the money to return to school. My question to you all is how can a person working in upwards of 90 hours a week to support his family educate himself. Im pretty sure after i get destroyed up here i will return to just reading your posts with a dictionary in hand and a wide open mind.

Consider Yourself...
One Hundred times smarter than the walking zombies who even after hearing the message of freedom, still defend tyranny.
A few misspelled words does not an idiot make. Your ability to grasp the concepts or economic stability, freedom, and the principles this country was founded on make you one of the smartest Americans in this country.
We are all students of the Revolution. The process of educating ourselves will be ongoing.
NEVER...
equate 'education' with 'intelligence'.
Clearly spelling is not an issue on this forum, we have a PhD who frequently posts but he can't spell either! :)

Dyslexia
There are a lot of people out there with some form of dyslexia. They can take all the spelling classes in the world and will never be good spellers.
One of my kids has dyslexia. Believe me, I know how some people struggle with spelling. He has been working with a specialist at school. I'm thankful for spellcheck. It has given him the confidence to write stories. It has been wonderful. Prior to that he just wouldn't write much. It took too long to look up all the words.
Here is a quick fix for you! Look up "Google toolbar" add it to your computer. It has a spellcheck built in. Just hit the spellcheck when you finish writing and it will highlight the words that are misspelled. If you right-click on the word it will give you the correct spelling.
If you're on the internet and know how to search...
...you have the tools you need to educate yourself.
Remember, a smart man knows many things about many things. A genius knows even more...but a wise man realizes what he does not know.
Thank you
Thank you for being willing to do the research and understand what is going on...I deeply appreciate it.
I, as well as thousands of other people, do a LOT of research, and are more than happy to share it with you.
For starters, I would checkout a link from Storyteller available here:
http://www.dailypaul.com/...
Then, I would watch these videos to understand our current economic crisis:

(Just click the different links which will take you to info pages...make sure to look closely, thier hyperlinks are rather light in color, so they are easy to miss, but important to read)
This is just a short introduction to SOME of the problems, for more information, or copies of important petitions, please email RevolutionaryPetitions@gmail.com
Thank you again for your interest...please join us in Peaceful protest on April 15, 2008.

You know everyone I know who
You know everyone I know who has come from the East Coast to Colorado loves it. While you probably have tons of family there. Think about it. 75k for any family these days is a little bit hard to make it on..even here in Colorado..but you would probably be able to work a little less and live a little more. I am going to Jersey in a couple of weeks to stay there instead of New York for cost savings. I am going to DC for the freedom rally. I have to say while I love the culture of the East...it seems like it would be better to get out of there!!
Hey maybe New Hampshire?
Anyway, let me know if you know of any good hotels on the New York end of Jersey..I am still looking for something clean and inexpensive

Welcome freedumb! I realize
Welcome freedumb!
I realize there have been many suggestions to get you started on your journey. It is difficult to squeeze in anything working a 90 hour week. It needs to be as simple as possible with as much profitability as possible.Having said that, there is a lot of misinformation in this movement. Not referring to Ron Paul, but the freedom movement.
One needs to cut to the chase so to speak. Look for sites that provide solutions in the way of a plan of attack? There is more than enough info out there telling you what the current problems are. Alex Jones has a lot of info on what these guys are up to, but, he does not offer any solutions to any problems. He is good at stirring people up. We have to be careful not to let people get us stirred up to the point of any kind of violence. The powers that be would love that. This is not to say anyone here is advocating that.
If you just want the current news stories like that which Alex Jones is putting out, go to rense.com
They post all the days news stories. I can't say I agree with Rense, but is convenient for getting the many stories available in one place.
So, if you have the time, check out the following info.

statenationals.net
Learn what is at the root of today's many problems.
You are very bright...
You are here! You understand and support Ron Paul! Don't be too concerned about how your posts appear and ignore those who critize you for not using spell check. Get out and educate your neighbours. For the best education watch Ron Paul on Youtube, and throw in some Michael Badnarick as well. You will soon be the most educated guy (girl?) in town. Share your wisdom. All the more power to you!!
Hi Freedum
it's great that you're not alone. Btw- reading,writing, practice and a dictionary is all you need to express your intelligence to suit others. Heads up everyone; I do believe that we are not alone as 'The Telegraph' (Known as a proper UK paper) is becoming quite vocal for the ever despondant populace here in UK. I wish you could find the time to read this link as then you will gain happiness that your own problems are understood by other folk elesewhere. (Likewise you and us too). I really believe that the 'game' is nearly, finally up. I had an email from brasschect tv today about the bushco nazi connection. (This is obviously circulating aswell good). http://www.brasschecktv.c... Thank you all and nice to be a DP supporter.
http://www.telegraph.co.u...
****can I add for perspective here; My Dad had the Telegraph everyday for 60 years outside the war and to read the comments on there would have been unthinkable only six months ago. This is revolution in the making. Thanks.
'I always think of all you canvassors and precinct leaders and delegates at the front line and caucuses.
Good luck out there &Thank you. You're a gift.
Use learning as part of your
Use learning as part of your entertainment (for the little time you have for entertainment). I try to listen to educational stuff in the car on the way to and from work.
Talking with other people, especially places like these forums, definitely helps. They can often point you to places to get great info.
As someone else here said, read read read...
I just started reading "Economics in One Lesson" because I know nothing about economics. There are words in there I don't understand, but I just look them up and move on. It's a book written for everyone, but the level of education seemed to be higher back then when it was written.
Anyways, don't sell yourself short. Just keep at it. It's like exercise--you just gotta do it and your mind will get in shape, and then you'll absorb more and more.
Also, stay away from the fluoridated water and television ;)
Mmmmm...yes...Flouridated TV
Mmmmm...yes...Flouridated TV is definitely very bad :P

I'll offer some advice:
1) Find your local meetup www.meetup.com and get connected
2) listen to www.rprradio.com or www.prisonplanet.com (rprradio has a number to call to listen if you have unlimited long distance and prisonplanet might be a tad too pessimistic for some people)
3) Copy and paste articles from here by doing this:
Left click with the mouse and drag across the words so they're highlighted. Hit at the same time control & c buttons to copy. Open a new document and click control & v to paste into your new document.
Like the MSM there is a lot of disinformation on the internet. On daily paul there are trolls, pessimists, optimists, survivalists, conscientious citizens, boy scouts, all around good people and people who like to do harm so take all of that into account when you read posts (you can check their history by right clicking their name). I have learned so much since I learned about Ron Paul, watch out cause the truth is addictive.
Welcome!
We are all still learning more every day.
awsome
freedumb is not free! after reading all the responses to this thread i realize why everything about this revolution makes sense to me now. Its about the people involved and the goal we need to acheive .if you think you can or think you cant either way you are right.
We are truly the Little
We are truly the Little Train That Could...Choo Choo!
You know...the knowledge base here expands week by week...we are all ignorant on much, but it is our determination and drive to learn more that separates us.
They WILL NOT defeat us! No matter what in this one election we will continue on...our influence will grow...we will shift this nations heading and thinking. Little things...day by day...week by week. Just today I saw a little old lady from our County Republican Group while picking up Chinese food for my co-workers and I. All I did was go over and say hi and chat her up a little. Doesn't sound like much...but it is the melding with the GOP and its previous members. Just being nice, noticing them, and talking friendly and sincerely with them. All these little things will win us the day...in fact...it will WIN us the future!
Just remember brothers and sisters...do NOT EVER stop! We are the Little Train That Could!

Type what you want into a Word document that has spell check. Then cut and paste it into the comment section of Daily Paul. But I don't really care about any mispelt wurds. HaHa. I care about your passion for the U.S Constitution. Which by the way is an excellent read after you read the Declaration of Independence. Don't you all wish it was the Declaration of "Independents".
Welcome aboard freedumb.
Welcome aboard freedumb. There is much to learn here and abroad. As others have put it, and I agree, you are not dumb, you are groggy and just awakening. I commend you for being curious and concerned enough to want to learn. That is the first and most important step. After a few more cups of Ron Paul coffee, you will feel proud to be truly educated about our country's deteriorating situation, politicians, our failing economy and the real reasons for its failure. You will wake up gradually as we all did, but quickly be many pages ahead of those in society, who still remain fast asleep in front of the TV news.
Read...Read...Read
I always have a book going. Actually, I usually have at least three going at once (maybe a little ADD at work here). The more you read, the better your articulation skills will become. In so far as subject matter is concerned, the right materials are only a question away. When someone displays the knowledge you want, ask them for their sources and then pursue the understanding yourself.
If time is your issue, I found that having a book and a dictionary in my car provides for ample opportunity to get a few pages in "here and there". I always have a book in the bathroom and always on my desk.
Never, never, never, turn on the TV. It is designed to rob you of your thoughts and retard your soul's progress through this experience we call life. There can be no soul growth if it is kept in a state of "suspended animation" by the powers that be. The more you watch...the less you know...and the more manipulated you become.
What ever you do...read The Creature From Jekyll Island. It is the basis for all of the pain that is about to befall us all.
Also, get a subscription to the Freeman...

Then, keep it next to the throne, because the essays are short, but loaded with info!
Google "I, Pencil", a classic, for a taste of their style. Please notice the bookstore for nightstand reading material.

We welcome you with open arms...
and don't be scared - in the beginning of this journey you will go through many different emotions and sometimes it might get lonely - the awake ones are the minority right now. ( When i first found out in 2004 it took me almost 2 years to calm down).

As an HVAC installer are you familiar with . . .
ammonia based refrigerant systems? I was recently at a seminar and one of the comments made was quite amazing. For those who don't know ammonia has been used in the heating/cooling industry for years. It has the ability to absorb heat and relocate it, where it is condensed and discharged etc. Now I am no HVAC person so none of this made sense to me and I am way off track. But back to what was said...Ammonia can be used by any combustion engine (cars, generators etc). The statement was "There is enough energy in the (blank) river to produce enough energized ammonia to serve the US needs 3TIMES over."
Has anyone ever heard this, because ammonia is a natural renewable resource, does not harm the atmosphere etc.
BTW - welcome, I am a new poster too. Have surfed here for 3 months, but did not dare to dive in.
Adsorption refrigeration...
is what that is called, IIRC.
I was in HVAC/R in a former life, but these units were incredibly rare. I only saw one in my 14 years, and it was getting ripped out to be replaced by one that actually worked. In defense of these systems, that unit was being removed from a 12 story building, although it was in Denver, which isn't THAT hot.
The europeans and RVs use these for refrigerators, and they require a heat source (like a flame from gas) once a day to move the solution back to the evaporator. As it evaporates, it 'takes' heat with it to the condensor. The secret of refrigeration lies in 'latent heat'.
R-22 (A/C refrigerant, vs R-12-for ice making temperatures, very stable until struck by UV-A rays) is very unstable and breaks down before delivering chlorine to the ozone, which is what they say causes the Ozone Hole (don't hear that crap anymore).
Anyways, the Feds (EPA) now requires a license for us lowly working class stiffs, for either reefer and a host of others as well, so I said FY, and got in the Liberty peddling business (FWTP-see below).

I don't know that much about it, but
I was just involved in a 600lb ammonia system for SYSCO distrubution facility. It served a 500,000 square foot building and was quite impressive.
WOW
So much info today. I love it!
You are like many
You are like many that are starting to wake up. All our lives we have been lied to bye our news media (tv & newspapers) which tell you what they want you to know, not what you need to know! Start getting your news from the internet an you eyes will be opened! But I must warn you! Once you learn the truth you can never go back!
Nobody on this site is going to destroy you! Just wake you up!
Welcome my friend!
Hello Friend!
Don't worry about your spelling so much; many people here have problems with spelling because they, like you, came out of a government "education" system that removed spelling from the list of requirements long ago. They did this as one piece of their bigger plan to ruin our society. Think about it: If you can't spell, you can't communicate; if we can't communicate, we have big problems... that's just what they want!
I happen to be good at spelling because it's a gift, and because I spend a huge amount of time writing here and elsewhere. One reason I spend lots of time writing is that I have the time, and because my opportunities for jobs are few and far between. It's safe to say I'm poor. Our monthly budget is of the "hanging on by our fingernails" sort. (: >) There are many others here who are not so well off, too; they're here because they know from first-hand experience that the forces Ron Paul stands against have already done much to impoverish us all.
You're smarter than you think... and humble, that's good. Just watch out for the reactionary people here who like to jump down your throat too quickly when they hear something they don't like (there are a few). They apparently haven't quite caught on yet to the concept of the first Amendment.
I also recognize being good at spelling is a gift---
Because I am old enough the public schools DID teach spelling as an important subject, and I was a whiz at it; it just came natural. Of course, I also loved to read, which gives exposure to words, so you learn to spell some of them without really trying.
Recognizing that spelling is a gift, I will ignore bad spelling from others.
Yes, plus
I remember that we're here to build each other up, not pick one another apart (: >)
Welcome.
The return to Constitutional Republicanism will not be done overnight so you will have time to learn more as we all are doing.
During your 90 hour work week, (compliments of the international banksters.) you can pick and choose to educate those around you who are willing.
You are now a key figure in saving this great nation. Yeah, I know a heavy burden but one worth carrying.
We all have alot to learn and the beauty is....
together, we accelerate each other's learning. We're all teacher's and student's here.

We are Ron Paul Republicans!
We are the future!
Welcome!
A hearty welcome to you!
People who think they know everything
don't learn anything new. People who admit, like you, that they need to learn more, are the smart ones, and the ones who do learn. Besides, you are smart enough to see that Ron Paul is the one to vote for, so that makes you smarter than most people in America. Please keep joining in to the discussions.
nice
freedumb is not free! I didnt expect this much feedback very nice you are all so helpfull gonna check firefox ,high five
Welcome aboard
This wild, crazy train. Never a dull moment (for the most part) here, if it is any consulation I downloaded firefox myself and I did not get spellcheck, so I don't know what I did wrong. We are always learning something here everyday. One thing I do know though, you can go to your log in and add your comment "freedumb is not free" in there so it comes up automatically so you are not typing it each and every time, it may get tiresome after a while. See what I mean I spelled consolation wrong above.
Welcome to the Hoard!
Irashaimase (Japanese)!
We do not judge intelligence. We welcome and accept everyone. I'm sure you are as smart or smarter than I when we shake out the bullshit.
Be positive. Accept all others. Do not fear. Stop spending, start being a conservative. Invest in silver or gold bullion coins if possible, small investments will add up. Read the posts at Daily Paul. Get Fluoride off your teeth. Quit drinking bottled water with magnesium, switch to pure. Get the mercury amalgam out of your teeth. Realize we are one. We are fighting a revolution.

Magnesium = Bad??
Aside:
Sorry for this side note...it really doesn't directly belong in this thread...but, Genghis, what's this about avoiding magnesium?!? I must have missed info about this! I (voluntarily, deliberately) take a magnesium supplement. Can you point me to a relevant thread discussing this mineral and what the issue of concern is about it?
/aside
and now the journey begins!!!!
This is a great, if overwhelming moment for you! Don't panic, just start listening more and making assumptions quickly less. You never know when you will hear the next "gem."
I think it is incredible that you listen to your new friend, and that you pushed past your fears to post here. GOOD for you, and even better. . .GOOD FOR AMERICA. We are all enriched by your willingness and desire to KNOW MORE!
if you can handle listening to a cool radio show, check out Coast to Coast radio in your area. It comes on AM radio and is a very enlightening show - even tho at first you may think it is very weird - they give you many things to THINK about! You don't have to believe everything! but I've learned more from Coast to Coast recently than anywhere else I've tuned in.
First step to enlightment.
is always be humble to knowledge. Every stone you over turn there will be two pebbles with stones beneth. Change is made on person at a time. Don't worry or take personal, people's responses to your posts. To swim you first have to get your feet wet. No one is better than anyone else. Just some have taken the time or have had the opportunity to advance quicker. I'm glad you are with us.
We can all say what needs to be done, but who here lead by example today?
Hmm..
.. you don't seem ignorant and stupid to me... at all. And you spell better than many of the "leaders" around here... ;)
Your post text is very articulate and easily understood.
90 hours of work every week is a bunch... =|
Download Firefox. This
Download Firefox. This borrowed laptop I'm on had problems viewing DP so I installed Firefox and it's all better now. As an added bonus there's a spell checker that I'm just now becoming used to.

Book for you Kid
Here is a MUST for your kid.
"Quantum Learning" Bobbi de Porter
Please Please buy this book.
They will excel in school.....It shows them the techniques on how brilliant people/students learn and grasp information.
Must teach them before they are 10yrs old. Once the techniques are natural to them...just let them soar.
wonderful
freedumb is not free! thank you i will pick it up after work in the morning its ok if i use the book aswell right
Yes, of course
It talks about how to write essays etc.
I think that you have good flow of thoughts. You may not be good at spelling and have typing skills...but your flow of thought and ideas makes for easy reading.
That itself is no easy talent....if this comes natural to you....that is a sign of a great writer.
Remember: "Do not let college get in the way of your education" Mark Twain
I am sorry that you have to work so long hours.
Perhaps you can dedicate some of the NON tv hours now to getting you some skills to get you out of that.
If you are technically inclined....as most men are...there are plenty of tech skills that you can pickup...get the certification...and land a job that will get you in the door to something that will allow you to work less for the same pay and will give you a chance to climb up the chain.
You dont understand....this is just as important for us as it is for you.
We need you,
Your country needs you.
God bless you.
and thankyou!
PS: By the way....KIDs
If you really want them to retain something for life...
Have them write a research paper on it.
This tends to make the mind retain that information in the head for a long long time.
This is how most of the students are being indoctrinated through the college system in America.
Have them write eassys on the constitution, Litberty, and free markets etc.,...or anything that you think that will be useful to them....
This method will remain in their head.
technical skills no prob
freedumb is not free! im a union havc technician im working like this now because i live in new jersey the only state i know of were you can earn 75k and still be poor i have a goal im trying to reach and have learned that sleep is overrated i make just enough to be to much to be not nearly enough. I thank you for your thoughts ive got a new system in place i stream rprradio and read the wisdom on these pages in place of tv
grab me by the head
freedumb is not free! and throw me to the floor i got ron paul power i can feel the ron paul power can you feel that
