We borrow $120 billion a month. There are no plans by anyone but Ron Paul to seriously address this, and the plain fact is that the demographic wave of Baby Boomers is just starting to hit. The bleeding on the “entitlement” front has just started, and this will be overwhelming even if Obamacare–which adds a HUGE increase in spending just when we are already tipping over–is overturned. Romney is simply not serious as an adult or responsible leader.
Our NSA is implementing what will soon be the perfect surveillance state. If you carry a cell phone, if you drive a car, if you use a credit card, they know where you are, how much money is in your bank, who you associate with, what you say to them, and no doubt have developed computer programs to develop quick and largely accurate psychological profiles of EVERYONE in the country. People capable of dissidence can be spotted years before they express anything publicly. A totalitarian state built on modern technology would quite simply be insurmountable in timeframes less than thousands of years, at least without internal dissidence that could be easily eliminated.
Ron Paul’s ideas need to be made mainstream. The extent of the existential threats we face need to be broadcast far and wide.
I am going to give him another $100. It is not much, but it will be worth it if he can make the fake conservatives squirm at the Republican National Convention. I want less flag waving, and more substance. To be honest, seeing the American flag does not bring out the emotions it used to, not when I contemplate the generalized mediocrity necessary to elect a Barack Obama ONCE, much less twice, or the stupidity expressed in the failure of most Americans to grasp what is actually going on. Who can be proud of such a people? Of course, there are many who are awake. In them lies whatever hope we have of keeping our freedom and dignity.
