I am afraid of where America is headed. It’s too heavy with big government and corruption and an agenda for a one-world government controlled by orwellian principles, while the vast majority of americans are asleep — too complacent and misinformed to see what is really going on on the world stage.

I think Paul is the only hope for our country. But he’s right, Americans have to change their attitudes about what government is meant to do. People need to read the constitution and the Bill of Rights and they will understand how wise the forefathers were in designing it the way they did. We need to stop relying on Big Brother to do everything for us, and work more at the community and state level. Have any of you ever noticed that with the errosion of the constitution and the rise of big corporate government, there has simultaneously been an erosion in the family, community and state nucleus? Think about it.

Although I am an American citizen and vote regularly, I am living abroad in a Muslim country. I can tell you the majority of people here do not hate Americans. They hate our government’s intrusion and influences in their way of life. These people are the same was people anywhere – they have the same problems, challenges in life and want the same thing as anyone – a means of living happily with their families. So I believe Ron Paul when he says we need to get out foreign affairs, yet trade and garner friendships with other countries. It is the only way to gain respect in other countries and maintain our principles and integrity as a nation.

I am utterly disgusted, as usual, with the mainstream media’s manipulation of the facts and their unwillingness to air anyone’s views who run counter to their biased agendas. But the internet is powerful, but it can’t reach everyone; not everyone’s into competent. I don’t know how long the major media outlets can continue to ignore Ron Paul’s popularity. It will be interesting to see how things go.

For those of you on the fence or not sure about Ron Paul, please look into what he is saying in more depth and read the constitution in all its magnificence. It was designed by very foreward thinking individuals. It is not just some “quaint document”, as the politicians have been trying to spin it as they erode our individual liberties minute-by-minute. I mean, does one call the writings of aristotle, plato, shakespeare, and many other timeless intellectual works “quaint”? Our constitution is classic and timeless. Read and understand it, because it was designed to keep us free by having less government.

And for the Ron Paul supporters – donate. Whether it is your time and labor, or through money, or just getting the word out. Do as much as you can.

Thank you for this great blog site.

At least the internet can start to even the playing field.

As for My. Paul, he’s an interesting guy with some unique ideas. It seems like people want something different these days. He is indeed different!

Remember, I am not a supporter of his, but do see that he certainly stands out.
