SpringtoLiberty, I was sorry to see no reply, but hope you lurk long enough to read this. I posted it this morning on another thread, and hope it clarifies my political outlook a little.
“”We do indeed now have a true political ruling class, no less formidable than King George and they do NOT want to go back to being our servants. And sad to say, with waay too many of the American people only believing what the glowing box tells them, it is going to be a heckova battle to turn this thing around.
But like it or not, (and I am one of the many here who is looking at their 2nd or 3rd or 4th choice), we have to play with the cards we have left, and of those, we must coalesce strongly behind ONE candidate. The one who we think has the best shot at taking down the entire enemy camp - 0, TheMedia, TheLeft and TheRepubElites, because that is what it will take to win this.””
And for what it is worth, I have no real issue with someone supporting Ron Paul, on FR or anywhere else. Many of my friends out here in the real world are RPers, and I KNOW that they love this nation, and the ideal it was founded upon every bit as much as I. However, here on FR, it is frustrating that so many RPers feel it necessary to lay so much of the blame at the feet of the good conservatives who were, (present company included ;), just going about the business of their daily lives for the past 50 years, working every day, and raising families. Our only, and admittedly biggest sin, was in naively believing that our “representatives” were doing the jobs we elected them to do, that they were serving us, when the sad reality was that they were indeed only serving themselves...
And now, yes, we know that we must choose VERY carefully, because there is NO margin for error.
May God grant us strength, and wisdom and courage.
