Ron Paul Message Muffled Despite Record Breaking Fundraising, Strong Support from Military and Americans
February 3, 2008
(Long Island, N.Y.) In the somewhat murky waters of U.S. public politics, it’s easy to lose sight of the fine line between truth, patriotism, and propaganda. For the last several months, the Internet has been littered with stories of how Dr. Ron Paul, a 10-term Republican Congressman from Texas, has been given the cold shoulder from media outlets across the nation. Angry Paul supporters are not hard to find, blasting the likes of Fox News, CNN, and various websites which no longer allow posts or discussion on topics relating to Paul. But some ask “Why Are Ron Paul’s Supporters So Angry?”
Most seem to believe that Paul’s interests are out of step with corporate media and establishment interests, many of which either own or support the majority of radio, television and newspapers. These traditional news sources are often referred to as ”MSM” or main stream media and they shape and transform public opinion quite easily. But the age of the Internet seems to change the playing field significantly and most Paul supporters contribute precisely this to his campaign’s longevity and success.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Ron Paul was the biggest GOP fundraiser last quarter raising nearly 20 million dollars, $6 million of which was raised in one day breaking the record for the most money raised by a national candidate in a single day. “That is a significant amount of money from a man who gets the least time on TV debates.” wrote the Times. The Ron Paul campaign website currently shows contributions are up to over 5.1 million dollars so far for the first quarter of this year.
So one might ask where all this money is coming from? What’s this Presidential candidate have that the others don’t have? Besides his consistent voting record, his interest in abolishing the IRS, income tax, and the CIA, and a recent 51 year marriage anniversary, apparently he’s also got significant military support. The Paul campaign often boasts that the campaign’s money comes mostly in the form of small donations from average Americans, many of which are active military officers. This is quite the contrary to most of Paul’s opponents who have significant support from corporate lobbyists.
According to Lew Rockwell, with information contributed from Jeff Schulman, Ron Paul has received more military donations than all his opponents combined. Below are the numbers released by Jeff Schulman.
- Paul: $286,764; 1349 donors
- McCain: $79,597; 413 donors
- Romney: $29,250; 140 donors
- Huckabee: $24,562; 94 donors
- Obama: $81,037; 466 donors
- Clinton: $49,523; 181 donors
Verifying the above numbers we were led to a post on the Ron Paul website that read:
Dear Ron Paul,
I am a hard-working sailor in the U.S. Navy. I don’t make very much money to start with, but this month I am donating my entire paycheck to your campaign. You are the only candidate, Democrat or Republican, who is actually addressing issues that are critically important for every American. I hope your impeccable integrity, personal honor, and clear convictions will see you through to victory–not just for Republicans, but for all Americans. - J.P., U.S. Naval Officer.
The Korea Times did a story earlier this month on Ron Paul (translated version) where they discussed the unusual interest in U.S. politics around the globe. According to the Times, “Korea is one of 29 countries that have meet-up groups supporting Ron Paul outside the United States. No other candidate has anything vaguely matching this level of enthusiasm.” said George Whitfield, owner of a recruiting company in Seoul and founder of the Ron Paul local campaigning group.
“The troops on the ground have more insight into the situation in the conflict zones, and on the world stage. They see what’s going on from a first-person perspective - not from news snippets or editorials. So they know that Ron Paul’s positions are the closest to the truth from what they observe and experience.” said Jeff Schulman, 28, formerly with the United States Marine Corps.

Got something to say?
That’s right. Ron Paul has the most support of the troops out of any other candidate. That should tell you something. Furthermore, the Media ignores him because they don’t like his message. They DELIBERATELY ignore and paint him as a loser because they don’t want him to do well. This should alarm all Americans! Look in Ron Paul and find out why he raised 20 million dollars last quarter. That’s double the amount of rich Mitt! McCain had to -borrow- 3 mil to stay afloat.

Muffled? That’s a nice friendly term for what’s really happening here. Our American government has been stolen from us, the American people. Those who have stolen it now control enough pieces in the game to completely ignore the will of the people and get away with it. The sickest part of it all is that most of the people of America don’t even realize what is going on. By controlling, among many other things, the mainstream media those who have stolen our government are manufacturing consent within a narrow band of choices and putting yet another puppet regime into the White House. They run this country just like they run their third-world dictatorships. How can 70% of the American people want to end the war in Iraq - and yet the only candidate who is against the war be slated as “unelectable”? Because the American people have lost the ability to think independently, to think critically, to understand they are being hypnotized by this grand illusion of dancing lights and talking puppets. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

for those of us who have always wondered how hitler was able to get away with what he did, the current actions of the the corporate elite owned media should give us some insight. greed and a lack of integrity has gone a long way and the demise of our country is looming. pay attention america. you will need to look beneath the surface. we have this small window of opportunity to try to turn things around. this isn’t high school and you aren’t voting for prom queen. it is your country. america and we the citizens deserve more respect. take the time to learn about the CFR, who’s behind it and what is really going on here. and take note of the very real possibility of the loss of our sovereignty. if you miss america and what it once stood for you will vote for RON PAUL.

Ron Paul has been disenfranchised by the media. Yet his popularity is growing. Check out his website to see the number of brand new people who are donating for the first time at ronpaul2008.com!
Just imagine where he would be in the polls if the media gave him the same amount of time and attention as the other candidates. FOX News has done all it can to bury him. When Romney won Nevada and Ron Paul came in second, FOX reported it by showing the Democrats’ latest wins, including their photos, then just mentioning that Romney came in first above the other Republicans, without naming them. Then they went on to other items. They did not want to put Ron Paul’s face on the airwaves nor did they want to mention his name as running second.
DO THEY REALLY THINK THE PEOPLE ARE THAT DUMB?
Unfortunately, a lot of people are. And the media is taking advantage of this.
DO NOT LET THE MEDIA TELL YOU WHO SHOULD BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
Vote for Ron Paul and join the Ron Paul Revolution!

Thanks for telling it like it IS.
If American votes in any other candidate on than Ron Paul.
Hold on to dear life…we’re going straight to hell.
We’ll be in more wars, more debt, more spending, more taxes, more MSM BS, more poverty…
LESS FREEDOM.

Angry…The gov’t ran up a $9.2T National Debt…Spent all the excess Social Security monies…$54T needed by the years 2040…David Walker is warning us about being financially bankrupt…Allowed our infrastructure to become unsafe…another $1.5T to repair…Illegal aliens everywhere driving up our costs and we arrest pot smokers and let illegal aliens go…A war we can’t afford because we are nation building…Our way of life is in jeopardy and the media insults us saying we have no reason to be angry! If your not angry your not informed!

The military donation figures are the most interesting. Without Paul in the race, the GOP would look like every member is looking for more warfronts at any cost. Meanwhile, the guys spilling the blood are tired of being ignored and forsaken.

Of course he gets the loot from the boot’s on the ground, Just because they joined the Military does not make them stupid and that oath they swore to the Constitution’s means something to them, the only enemies of the Constitution are in the WhiteHouse. They know that just like we know that. RonPaul 08

People of the United States:
We Ron Paul Supporters are not crazy, we are not losers, we are law abiding citizens, who want our country to follow the Law of the Land, and Our Constitution. I want those republicans that are thinking about voting for McCain, to know that he is no different than Bush, and personally we have all had enough of Bush. McCain has no morals or integrity, research his role in the Keating Five, just look at his personal life. McCain has no clue about the economy, and has admitted it himself. I admire him for his duty as a soldier, but that is where my respect stops. He falls back to all his circle of friends on the economy, and is McClueless lol… McCain will allow illegals to infest our country, and give them amnesty, he also wants to take away your freedom of speech and right to protest (1st Amendment). McCain wants to continue war around the globe, and would initiate a draft, as would Hillary and Obama. There will be no honor to our country or our troops if we are broke, and can no longer function as a nation.
If you are torn between Romney and McCain, think again, think about the only Republican (Ron Paul) who has always voted by following our Constitution, not much has been said about him, except lies and smear propaganda, and that he can’t win. McCain has been quoted as saying that Ron Paul is the most honest man in Congress. Unfortunately, the media has forever called Ron Paul a long shot, and that he doesn’t have a chance, do you believe the media? Ron Paul outraised all the other Republicans on campaign donations during the 4th quarter, and did not create campaign debt as did McCain and Romney. I listened to the media for a long time, and then I woke up, and started doing the research. What our country needs right now in order to boost our economy is to stop the spending overseas, we must bring our troops and money home, and also cut our taxes, that would stimulate our economy in a very short time. Some may think this is non-sense, but just read this article showing how an analyst has predicted events that have come to pass regarding our economy and financial market since the 80’s and he has been dead right, but now the media and others are dismissing him because the outlook is so bleak, so they would rather stick their heads in the sand, and pretend everything is okay. Please take a look at this when you get a chance:
http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/content/view/3311/81
With the warmongering and foreign spending that Bush has burdened us with we are broke, and yes we are in a Recession. McCain and Romney would continue this, as would Hillary and Obama. We have to stop this before we are totally owned by China, which I might add we are very far in debt to China already because of this war and spending.
Before you vote please do yourself a favor and go to Ron Paul’s web site, educate yourselves, and stop listening to the media, do not let the media lie to you anymore. Ron Paul is the real deal in order to get this country back on it’s feet again. We must stop the war spending first, we must secure our borders & stop amnesty, we must maintain a strong military defense here at home, we must have a President that will abide by our Constitution, and restore the laws of our land again. We must put responsibility back to the Governors of each State, and let them govern. As it stands now, most State Governors want our Federal Government to do their jobs for them, and that must stop now, we cannot expect a President to make decisions for the States. Please learn the role and responsibilities of the Federal government and the President before you vote. Ron Paul knows what will make our economy thrive again, he understands economics more than any of the other candidates both Dems & Repubs. Help to make our country whole again, please consider Ron Paul, please consider our Constitution. I am ex-military, and I support Ron Paul for the right reasons, it’s called integrity and principles. I love my country and our people, but I do not support the current foreign policies of Bush, we as a nation cannot afford it, nor can our soldiers and their families. We need to bring those dollars back home for the good of the people in the United States, that one change alone could stop this country from an economical collapse. You all should be more afraid of our nations economy collapsing than a few islamic radicals, and the greed for empire building and oil. When this collapse happens, yes indeed the terrorists and the Bin Ladens of this world will have won. I am very Patriotic, but do not believe in the Patriot Act, it has taken rights away from the American people, some of you just don’t know it. Stop being so scared of so called terrorist threats, there are none, the only threat we have right now is coming from our government’s inability to keep this country from a total economical collapse. and by not securing our borders. If any other country had done to our country what we have done to Iraq, do you think we would just let them come in and invade us, hell no, we would fight, just as those Iraqis are doing now, they do not want us in their countries, and we have no right to be there. Knowledge is power, and fear is silencing, stop letting them scare you and start learning. Wake up America, and stop wasting your tax dollars and mine. Voting for anyone other than Ron Paul will get you exactly what you have been getting from Bush, a very poor economy, along with the radical islamics and the entire world laughing at us, and oil companies and big corporations getting richer. Please vote smart people.
For you McCain fans, if I have said something about your candidate that is incorrect, please disprove me, and give me the references so that I may decide for myself. I live in California and the endorsement from Arnold is no different than a Liberal minded Democratic endorsement. Also McCain does this big sad story of a soldier whose mother is illegal, give me a break as well as my pocketbook, don’t ask me to support her with my tax dollars, social security, or government funding, I can barely feed my own family the way the economy is, I cannot afford to support illegals as well. Last time I checked it was against our laws to be an illegal immigrant, and requires immediate deporation no matter who your child is. If her child wants his illegal mother to live in the states she can be deported and processed through LEGAL IMMIGRATION, and the military son or daughter can pay for it, we can still be humane about it, but we are not responsible for illegals. WE THE PEOPLE should not have to foot the bill. By the way I am a hispanic but my family migrated to this country LEGALLY generations ago. I challenge this website to post this, let me hear your side please, try to convince me I am wrong about McCain.
Thank you for reading.

JFK in his speech, “The President and the Press”, said,
“Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed–and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment– the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution- -not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply “give the public what it wants”–but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion”.

Call friends and family in voting states and share the insight that your research has presented you with in the facts about the Republican race.
It amazes me to no end, every conversation starts out the same way, “But Ron Paul is out of the race we only have two choices now…”
When I go on to explain that the blackout is part of the MSM’s choice of their candidates, people start to question the stuff presented day in and day out on the tube. Then they go look online, and boom wealth of unknown information is there for them to examine and make a much more educated decision.
Get out there and make Dr. Paul’s points and positions know in the many, many online papers’ editorial sites.
Write letters and send them to voting states. Which I must add will really make your arm and hands a bit sore after spending the last couple of decades on a keyboard. *snicker* But I hope my letters helped in Arizona.
But most important, VOTE!

Well let’s see. Why would we be angry? We live in a country where the big players steal millions of dollars from mainstream folks on a daily basis. They created a war with a country so that there could be more military spending and less money for us folks down here on the ground. Our family members are being slaughtered in a no win war.
Our dollar is dropping so fast, that I, as an accomplished attorney, am having a hard time buying groceries these days. 35.00 for two things of toilet paper and a total bill of 195.00 for a basket full of stuff that won’t last me three days. I got a 3% raise last year, my health bill went up 47%. You do the math.
In the past seven years of working 80 hour weeks, I am now making less in actual spendable dollars than I was when I got out of school. In fact, 23 years ago when I was a kid waitressing, I made more money in a 16 hour week (spendable dollars) than I do today. I was able to afford a new house, new car, and all the clothes I wanted. Today, I drive a 12 year old car, cannot afford to even sell my house and haven’t bought a piece of clothing in a year.
Why am I angry?
We finally have a candidate that is willing to stop the cause of my demise: the federal reserve cartel and what happens? During the last major TV debate prior to Super Tuesday, Ron Paul was allowed to speak for SEVEN minutes out of a an hour and a half debate. SEVEN minutes. So much for my chance of ending the cause of my demise. Thanks a lot!
I am going broke supporting this out of control government and the one man who wants to reign it in is called out of step by the MSM. Of course, he is out of step with your desire to rip us all off through corporatism. But he is not out of step with our desire NOT to be ripped off. You do know the government doesn’t have a dime of its own, don’t you? Every penny it spends it takes from you and me. Every penny. It has nothing. If it wants to spend, it must spend MY money.
We once had a Constitution to protect us from government abuse. It has been basically abolished. And you wonder why we are angry?
Get a clue!

Thank you for your excellent article.
I was very surprised to find out that Ron Paul is the only candidate for president whose spending proposals will actually decrease new spending. Obama was the worst with a proposed spending increase of $150 billion. As a contrast Ron Paul’s budget calls for a decrease of $150 billion - a difference of $300 billion! All other candidates also propose an increase in spending. (National Taxpayers Union)
Mainstream media is not giving the American public the information they need to make an informed decision. We are voting on charisma and smiles and promises. Frankly, I’d rather spend my own money than give it to the government to decide which countries and interest groups to send it to. Every time we hear a candidate make a promise we need to get in the habit of asking ourselves, “who’s going to pay for that?”

Thank you for your excellent article. Lets have more sunlight please. Just an update on his worldwide support from today’s statisitcs as published by Meetup.com: 106,324 members, 10,010 people interested, 32 countries, 1,187 cities around the globe, and 32,559 events. It is also interesting to note that the “world” would elect Ron Paul see http://www.whowouldtheworldelect.com/ and many on youtube have asked that once Ron has fixed this country to please come to their country. It would also be interesting to determine how many donors are veterans as am I and my father who are ardent RP supporters, meetup memebers and donors.

Could this be the reason why we don’t hear about Ron Paul in the MSM?
Eisenhower warned US!
An article in the Asia Times, by Chalmers Johnson dated Jan. 24th, entitled “Going Bankrupt: The US’s Greatest Threat.” explains the reasons how the ecomomy became bankrupted. The Chalmers article explains “military Keynesianism”, which is the reason the U.S. is bankrupt. President Eisenhower had alluded to the danger of maintaining a large military industrial complex in his Farewell Speech, “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

Muffled? Listen up sheeple…What we are witness to is nothing short of a total corruption of our election process by the mega media companies. The reasons should be obvious my now for anybody that has spent even an hour doing research on the WWW. The ideas of removing the FED and their henchmen the IRS along with several dozens of totally useless agencies upsets the NeoCon applecart to the point that they will do just about anything to protect the trillions of dollars in cash flows per year. In Ron Paul, your looking at the only guy who is not motivated by money or special interests back rubs. This honest guy is totally pro people and ready to put government in it’s proper place as protector of our freedoms, security, and currency.
The other choice is to simply wait for the day when it is not possible for the nation to pay the interest on the national debt, simply because it takes the entire GDP to do so. At this point, it’s game over, Bankers =1, People=0, all assets and the country are owned by the private foreign bankers within the FED. Sounds like a national security problem doesn’t it? Who needs to look for boogy men in the Middle East, when we have a den of thieves right here at home? Unfortunately, in a great depression, the government will likely gain strength vs motivating us to regain control. Freedom will take work to secure, you will need to find out for yourself what the heck Ron is talking about. Consider that it must be important or else he wouldn’t have wasted 30 years trying to get the message out. Go Ron, 2008!

Just remember who tried to warn the American people when the establishment continues to ignore, ridicule, and slander Ron Paul and his supporters. The tight media control is blatantly obvious making one wonder: how is it that EVERY major news outlet exhibits the same black out when it comes to Ron Paul? This is frustrating and it ENRAGES me to think that America and the power structure has been hijacked by a small group of people DICTATING to us how to live. On the other hand, the dumb down American people are literally retarded and so gullible, they will do not research and vote accordingly to what the TV says. At the end of the day, remember who tried to warn the people about our problems and remember that we have the solutions. The REAL American patriots are those who stand up against the oppressive establishment.

Ron Paul - Air Force veteran/Vietnam era, OB/GYN (not a lawyer thank goodness), wants to abolish the IRS, wants to end the Federal Reserve (Thomas Jefferson got rid of the 1st national bank, Andrew Jackson got rid of the 2nd), understands the Austrian business cycle of economics (and has written 6 economics books), has never voted to raise taxes, has never accepted a congressional pension, has never accepted money from a lobbyist (can’t be bought), understands the repercussions of unconstitutional legislation years in advance, very knowledgeable on American history and how it relates to today, voted against the Iraq war, voted against the Patriot Act, wants to bring home troops not only from Iraq but from around the world (bring that money home and stop subsidizing other countries), wants to use our troops to protect our borders and seaways, is against amnesty for illegal aliens (and giving them a reason to come here/welfare, free healthcare, free education), etc etc. And for those who want to say he’s too old, he’s a hard-working fit (I know he cycles) 72 year old (only a year older than McCain). Integrity, honest, steadfast, intelligent, and can think on the fly. It’s amazing to me how in the little time he gets in the debates, he says the most in so few words. It bothers me when I hear someone say “He’s too smart to be president. No one will vote for him”……….WHAT? So Americans should vote for someone who is not very informed, not too intelligent, will lead our country to ruin??? We have a unique opportunity to finally have someone who has Americans’ best interests at heart and if we lose this chance, I don’t know when or if we’d ever get it again. Even if you’ve just about gotten your mind made up to vote for someone else, please take the time to simply look at what Dr. Paul stands for before you decide definitively. I’ve heard several people on the internet say they wished they had known about Dr. Paul before they had voted because there was no doubt in their minds they would’ve given him their vote. The mainstream media is doing everything it can to keep Ron Paul’s name in oblivion because he doesn’t stand for their agenda. Americans should be RAVING MAD that the media is manipulating and choosing our candidates for us. Please check out Dr. Paul’s unrivaled integrity before you decide. RonPaul2008.com

Its my opinion that there is nothing wrong with Paul or his message other than it doesn’t resonate with the American people. It doesn’t resonate because the American people are disinterested in such things as freedom and the constitution. And fiat money is way beyond the majority. His message is couched in terms for an elite - it would take a magician to couch it in terms the unwashed masses would hear. Lets face it, America is not the land of the free and brave unless you mean historically - today that is a currency that won’t buy a cup of coffee. de Touqville observed over a 100 yrs ago that democracy would work until the people figured out they could vote themselves largesse.
Well, they figured it out.

Thank you so much for this article. Fair and balanced, unlike other news organizations. I used to be so apathetic with the political system. The last time I voted was for Al Gore in 2000 and when I saw how crooked that system was, I knew there were agendas being followed of some type. Voting machines with upwards of 10% difference from exit polls - an unheard of amount compared to historic differences of only 1-2%. 2004 elections brought more of the same, the people still had faith electronic voting was the way to go. Only this time more people began to wake up and investigate - investigations that lead to prison sentences for Ohio voter fraud. Fast forward to 08 New Hampshire primaries - MORE FRAUD! Memory cards from diebold voting machines missing after just a few days and no one can account for them…. These are not conspiracies folks, these are facts. The “conspiracy” is what corp.gov and MSM are doing to cover it all up.
Hey, did you know, rigging elections are what the CIA does best? They’ve been doing it for years in other countries around the world and now with electronic voting here in the U.S., it’s easier than ever. Ask yourself why high ranking members of the intellengence community are the CEO’s or board members of private companies tasked with, not only providing the security for election machines but also testing that security. www.artofmentalwarfare.com is a good place to start connecting the dots but there are ton of other websites out there as well. Bottom line is, people, we have to do more. We cannot become complacent! DO NOT LET OUR GOVT. STEAL THIS ELECTION!
If you agree that all of the leading candidates are for the status quo and if you agree that our govt. is broken, then please, please, please, choose Ron Paul for REAL change in America. Even if you don’t like some of his answers, a vote for anyone else will not bring the type of change this country so desparately needs. You know it, and I know it. He WILL change America and fix our broken economy.

Thanks for the article. The Powers That Be want Democrats in the White House. The reason the media is trying to “muffle” Ron Paul is because his campaign is a complete surprise. He is the only one who can put a monkey wrench in their plans, so they have to denigrate him and pretend he doesn’t exist. As his message reaches more and more people, and his fund raising explodes, and soldiers support him more than any other candidate, it gets harder for them to do this. And hopefully more noticeable to the TV “News” watchers.
This link submitted by Tess from Central California contains one of the most frightening articles I have read. Please read it.
http://www.atlanticfreepress.com/content/view/3311/81
I truly believe that Dr. Ron Paul is the only one who understands what is going on with the economy today and how to stop the coming bankruptcy of the United States. McCain doesn’t understand economics, by his own admission, and will rely on his friends and acquaintances and advisers to tell him what to do. Romney may understand economics, but he isn’t talking about what he will do to improve things - he’s too busy arguing with McCain about timetables.
Added bonus with Ron Paul as President:
NO National Id Card (RFID monitoring 24/7)
NO warrantless wiretapping of your phone and computer
NO Federal Income Tax
NO illegal wars
NO 935 lies told to the public to justify an illegal war
NO Draft
If the Constitution doesn’t authorize it as a duty or responsibility of the Federal Government, Ron Paul won’t do it. Period.

If you listen to Fox 24/7, you are now brainwashed. They think PBS is run by liberal commies. They think Bill Moyers is the devil and they still love George Bush and feel sorry for him. But the college kids, still kids but at least thinking for themselves and hopefully learning and hopefully learning more the the the Boomers. We have produced the Clinton’s, and Georg W.

A NEW HOPE
We all have been living a nightmare. A vision D. Eisenhower warned of in his 1961 farewell address to the nation. In his address, Eisenhower warned of the corruption of our government, our society, and our culture by the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. It seems that as a nation, we have not listened. Eisenhower’s dire vision has become our reality. And from this fearful dream, this nation is waking. Our eyes are opening to the truth collectively for the first time. WE THE PEOPLE are finding that we have been subjugated, placated into ignorance and fear, lied to by the very people we have entrusted to preserve and protect our rights, liberties, and our constitution. Many will turn away in fear of truth and close their eyes once again. To open our eyes to this reality, is to also understand that we are all responsible for it as well. complacency and dependence upon the machine keeps THE PEOPLE in line because it is convenient and safe. We have sold our souls. We have as a nation let this happen to ourselves.
My heart breaks for the people of this nation. Our government wages war upon our freedoms, liberties, and our constitution. I watch our republic’s destruction, not to the sound of guns or bombs, but to the sound of thunderous applause of those held captive by terrified patriotic blindness, guided by the propaganda of fear, as we give our rights and even the lives of our fellow man for the profit of the corrupt. A fear that is erasing our great history of freedom and repeating itself 70 years later with another dictatorship of war, under the guise of homeland security and the protection of the people.
BUT THERE IS STILL HOPE.
With love and openness, we can overcome ignorance and fear. It is our right as the people, and my duty as a United States MARINE written into our constitution by our founding fathers, entrusted to us, by the people, to ensure that our liberty, freedom, and the constitution never again become the subjugation of the corruption that we have wrought upon ourselves. We must take back our country, and give it to the people. So let us open our hearts, take responsibility, and make our HOPE become our reality. Lets begin REVOLUTION. His name

The war in Iraq is about oil and strategic position. It has nothing to do with liberating a country. It was a falsified war to make Bush,and his croney friends rich off our US money. Even now Iraq oil money is being banked here, just to be picked clean by Bush vultures. Does anyone read the news?
