The tide is turning!!!!!
The tide is turning. My wife and I were out antique
shopping in some of the smaller towns in Texas.
Towns such as Schulenberg, Bertram, Burnet, Lampasas.
The winds are changing and we could tell from just
chatting with store owners. In quite a few of these towns,
the people we talked to would be described as elderly,
over 60, conservative and many of them Christians as
far as we could tell. Why I say that the winds are blowing
another direction is that only a year ago, the general
consensus when we would be traveling around Texas
and chatting with people was Bush this, Bush that.
Let's go get them in Iraq. The war is good.
Well, from the temperature this weekend, it has changed.
These people were mad. Mad , Mad. They were
actually swearing. Using words such as crooks, liars, etc.
They were talking about how the fellows up in Wall Street
were a bunch of crooks. Had one group talk about
lynching would be good for a group of them.
Now, I would have to say that these people that were expressing
their anger were feeling betrayed. I think they now know
that they have been lied to. Betrayal is a funny thing.
It will create an anger that is very deep.
They were putting two and two together and realizing that
finance, government, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, media
were working together and stealing from the middle
class. Lying and stealing. The media was a topic of conversation
and most of them cannot stand to watch the "crap" that is on
the news nowadays. Most of these logical thinking people
realize that something is very wrong.
They are waking up.........





















Agree
I have a relative who used to spew anger when I would talk about Dr. Paul. Then her husband saw an Aaron Russo movie and started talking to his Ron Paul neighbor. Now she only tells me positive things about Dr. Paul and is proud to be on the bandwagon telling other people things that they can't believe. It is funny. Sure wish she would apologize for how nasty she was at first, but I guess I can't have everything!
According to research:
Razorwind Studios is an official endorser of Ron Paul, and we will live free or die! 14th alternate to MN state!

Only about 30% of people are capable of thinking logically. That number may be starting to grow...
Logic
I am a member of a small group of retired academics and others who enjoy spending a few hours in each month discussing Hegel's SCIENCE OF LOGIC. Yes, I know, a bit odd ... but then again there are all sorts of "clubs" with all sorts of interests. Anyhow, last fall it happened that I was the only one in our group to support him (I voted for him in 1988). As it happens, we often end our meetings by turning to recent political affairs. At first, when Ron Paul's name was brought up, his views were politely taken as "interesting" but impractical and soon dismissed. However, in time, a more reflective consideration took place regarding just what it was that he was proposing, such as ending the "War on Drugs" and other "wars" so favored by the neocons. In the course of a few meetings, his views began to find acceptance. At the moment the majority of our small group, about 8 of us, support Ron Paul. We expect some others to follow. This "conversion" was the result of a fuller understanding of the policies proposed by Ron Paul, and the likely consequences of those policies. Unlike the usual MSM take on Ron Paul supporters, we are neither young nor a particularly excitable group nor particularly "enraged" (Hegel: "The one thing that we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history). Ah, of course, there is nothing wrong with being young and excitable (that's where the energy is found! -- and the source of future generations of Ron Paul Hegelians!

Good to see there are great minds taking side for Ron Paul
Dr. Paul cured my apathy
Thank you so much for
posting this. Gives me hope, let them complain and the explain there is a man Ron Paul who has a plan. hee,hee
I heard exactly the same this weekend!
This little group were agreeing to everything Ron stood for.
All ex-Bush supporters.
Absolutely hated McInsane and the war.

The Credibility Gap
This is a great thread and it sums up why I am optimistic for the long term. Politicians can lie plausibly about foreign policy until the proverbial cows come home - but if they lie about the economy, then their rhetoric will fly in the face of personal experience. Then they're screwed! This also applies to dissatisfaction with the Main Stream Media. If people are angry about issues and the MSM is preoccupied with fluff and nonsense, then people will just switch off and start to google the words "Ron Paul".
Although the primaries are
over, it looks like canvassing again for the coming elections would be a good idea, handing out more info and if possible, Ron Paul's book.
Perhaps an idea for the meetup groups to start buying the book as hand-outs as part of the change needed to wake up those still asleep. A concerted effort to get the funds to pay for this could be organised perhaps through DP?
A chip in fund perhaps which allows people from overseas to help out once again?
what a shame nui
Thats true most people think he dropped out. You know why? because the media said so. Just like most people didnt know he was running at all in the first place.
Makes me sick. I hope the media all goes to hell or most of them at least

Ron Paul
NAFTA
NAFTA superhighway and the North American Union is what some Texans are concerned about, we need to get rid of this North American Union proposal and the NAFTA superhighway proposal!
Interesting!
Good for you for giving them Ron Paul info!
These are the most receptive people -- the ones that are just waking up and not liking what they see going on.
That's the same reaction I got from people that had heard of Ron Paul and liked him -- they didn't know he was still running (I set them straight)
RON PAUL OR BUST 2008
Your country's return to
Your country's return to it's Constitutional roots is very important for more people than u imagine. It is the rest of the world's fate that u have this immense responsibility at this time in history in your hands. You are a wonderful people who have been asleep too long, but are awaking in strength to the Lie. Your original Constitution is a wonderful document, which no other country can wish to compare. Without the light of Freedom shining strong from the West, the rest of the world is also at risk. So I wish you all the Love and strength to withstand the dark forces, who have underestimated you wonderful beings. You are not alone, the world is praying , sending messages of truth and hope, and do whatever we can, and let no one say you are any thing else than great human beings. I am glad to hear of this important awakening, the truth will set you free. You all have free will, and no one can take that away from you. They may lie to you, harm you, blackmail you, etc., but they cannot force the goodness you have in you to go to the dark side without your consent.
We Love you and honor your courage from our deepest heart.
Burnet is Mary Ruwart country
She's a close friend of Dr. Paul and former treasurer for that area for Dr. Paul, and she's seeking the LP nomination for President as well (she also ran for nomination in 1984).
Dr. Paul actually nominated her for a FDA Commissioner post and he wrote a jacket review for her bestseller "Healing Our World".
She's also a damned nice lady in general.
I will never understand
why "close friends" of people would want to get in a competitive race that would siphon votes off of the other. Why doesn't she just put all of her support behind Ron Paul? It just doesn't seem right and this doesn't seem like a "nice" thing to do. It makes me resent that person. The person running is what should be important, not just promoting a political party, IMO.
RON PAUL OR BUST 2008
I think Dr. Paul talks to them first
At least some of them, like Baldwin.
I think the reason they do this is because Dr. Paul is definitely in the Republican party until September. If we pull off that win for him in September, THEN they would be out of place to run against him and I bet they would handle it at that point, or else they would be on my black list. But they have to go ahead and prepare to run before September just in case Dr. Paul does not get into the general. They should still be saying Dr. Paul every time they turn around because Dr. Paul has far more momentum than anyone else right now and if anyone is going to pull off a win for this movement, it would be him if he is willing to keep plugging.
I'm seeing it too
I've been canvassing door to door for a local candidate, and at about 5% of the houses, the residents explode into angry tirades when I mention I'm with the republican party. It's not like I'm knocking on the doors of Obama supporters or anything, these are coming from people who are registered as republicans.
Its true
Some people I know are starting to swing over to Dr Pauls camp.
People who a few months ago thought I was crazy.
Too bad
I love saint Bush and the whole establishment! Everyone should be more patriotic and just do what they are told!
Yes...
..We CAN.... YES... WE CAN.... All praise be to the Obama Most HIgh and his wife Hellary McBush... THE GREAT DECIDERS that will never Chert us off.
Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?
Hell yeaaaaaa!
Hell yeaaaaaa!
Don't taze me bro.
Cause when enough people take to the streets what do you think the gov will be doing with all those crowd control devices they have purchased. I am gonna have to say that I stand with Alex Jones on this one. They know what coming and have prepared to try and squash a Revolution.

We can all say what needs to be done, but who here led by example today?
Oruval
Is it possible for you to make a single post that doesn't elevate my walls. I like you. You have a voice. Your insight is intellegently thought out, but you never give up on the paranoia. You could be a tremendous asset to the movement if you would just stay on point.
I don't mean to speak for oruval....but
You're right rhino......paranoia,healthy skepticism, questions,they are all bad.
Your Govt has everything under control,have some more beer,football,and American Gladiators. Everything is just peachy.
They aren't making a list of dissidents from this website and others to know who to contain first when the sh!t hits the fan.
Don't worry,be happy....Have some more big pharma "happy pills"
Your walls, as you describe, are ALREADY up, as you are what is called
"willfully ignorant"
I hope from all my heart you mentioned Ron Paul to those ppl

Ron Paul
Yup!
Sure did....most folks think he is no longer running.....go figure.
Good post...
Now it will be interesting to see who they turn to once they fully realize what has been happening.
Some of them will turn to Dr. Paul but not all. Some will move in other political directions. Our current environment is similar to pre-world war two Europe, disgruntled citizens looking for new leaders. Hope they choose wisely...
I'm seeing more of that here also
The average person is starting to wake up. :o)
Now if they will get mad enough to start to contact their representatives.
I can't wait until
we all wake up. It has to really hit home first for some people. Keep up the great work.
Hope is on the way...

Something upbeat
instead of miserable arguments between bigots and mindless atheists
Dr. Paul cured my apathy
