Comment on Lessons of the Paul Campaign – r[evol]ution within the reForm by Alex Wallenwein

Excellent analysis, fantastic portrayal of a persistent political syndrome. Sucking up to the ‘big boys’ always seems so rewarding… at first.

The Campaign for Liberty is stillborn. It is no alternative, just a chute into the pits of GOP hell for the alternatively inclined.

The problem with any alternative movement is that it is immediately pushed into the “third party” slot (or chasm) that immediately engulfs and neutralizes it from the get-go — so why not preempt that whole problem and call it the “First Party”?

Colloquy:
Q: “What party do you vote for, Democrat or Republican?”
A: “I vote First?”
Q: “Huhh? What do you mean?” — and you have a nice conversation going.

It avoids any worn-out labels and gets the message across that first, before we can even disagree, we have to be free. Then, once we got that squared away, we can talk about what kind of state we want to live in – a capitalistic one, a socialistic one – or a free one? There is room for all kinds in this country as long as nobody tries to cram their own “kind” down the throats of other kinds from the federal level.

I think that much the millions of “disaffected” in this movement that you are outlining in this post can all agree on. The rest is gravy.

Talk to you soon, I hope.

Comment on Lessons of the Ron Paul campaign – Epilogue: I’m not Ron Paul, You are by Oil-Alex

I’m totally in love with those moments of clarity/revelation; I cherish every one I’ve ever had, but I probably don’t remember them all…oh well!

Very beautiful, yes…

I suppose more than a few people reading this have emerged from hibernating/metamorphosing and are ready to do what we’ve all been waiting a very long time (longer than most of us have been alive) to do…

And one more thing…You’re not Chuck Young, I AM!!!

What is this business about “call us Ishmael”? Ishmael is the son of unbelief, the son of Hagar, the Egyptian handmaiden, whose linage are the Arabs/ Muslims. I’d rather be associated with Isaac, the child of promise and faith… the son of Abraham and wife Sarah. From Isaac comes Jacob, renamed Israel, who of course is the father of the “children of Israel”, the heirs of the promises of God.

What a fabulous description of the “characters” who make up the RP movement. Can we get it together and ultimately make a difference? Only time will tell. I’ve sensed a general disdain for both mainstream candidates also but I’m not sure this will be enough to move people to action. Unfortunately, things will have to get a lot worse before they get better.

Thank you Chuck for such writing.
As we have slowly begun to awaken to the deceit perpetrated upon us by our political, governmental and corporate leaders, we may consider the probability that we still have more to awaken to and more awareness to gain. We have other “authorities” who rule from similar egos. So this “reckoning”, as physical as it may be on one hand, may be a learning of the ego. The real awakening at hand may consist of our bringing forth our true nature of compassion,high ideals, love of the truth and yes, even love itself, that will be called upon to see us through this “time of reckoning”. It will call forth a shift in our spirit and our consciousness that will propel us to the next level of our humanity.

Ron Paul and his supporters have only just begun. Candidates all over the country running for local and national offices who are supporters of and supported by Ron Paul are carrying on the torch.
And there are no hours and hours of Fox News on Ron Paul, and that’s just fine. He doesn’t need them anyway.

This said everything I ever thought about writing on the RPR. Only better than I could have stated. Thank you.

The Revolution is the newly forged sword that is destined to deliver the mortal wound against the political Beast.

The day Ron Paul ended his presidential campaign was the day the movement beefed up. It’s amazing how many truth-seekers I run into every day now. It’s even more amazing that none of them fit a common description… other than that all are filled with disdain for the status quo. None of us can seem to agree on who to vote for, claiming allegiance to a party or candidate just because of family or community pride, but the underlying principles of freedom and justice hold us intact. Our votes are different, but our hearts are in the right place, linked together in waiting.

Waiting for a revolution? A civil war? A change in ideals? Simpler times of honesty and integrity?

All I can hope to do is to peacefully spread the message of freedom before the threat of terror comes knocking at my door.
