Okay. Interesting approach. As I once told my teenage daughter who was yelling “I want to be given my Freedom!” I pointed out she was born with Freedom, it was her option to pick up the mantle and carry it forward. So it is for each of us (just my opinion).

Yes, our Constitution and Founding DOI recognize that, then instituted a Government to protect it. That is what makes us unique in the history of this world, however it had to be fought for and purchased in blood.

We have strayed so very far from those ideals, generations upon generations of corruption and power have yielded nothing but self serving narcissist who want a piece of it...including Paul. Unfortunately, I can't think of one institution that hasn't been corrupted, we have lost our way.

I don't know "what's in the water", but I do not believe any man who goes to Washington will have what it takes to implement what he tells the voters he is going to do, no matter how well intentioned. History has shown that quite clearly.

IMO, what it is going to take to reset this Country on it's chartered path is not going to happen via a "freedom giving politician".

I agree.

Again - I don’t believe in the power of the State to grant me “Freedom” - Ron Paul or not. He’d likely slow the tide, but certainly couldn’t deliver on all of his promises. Then again - neither could any of them.

We’ve lost our way over the years of infighting. There is no one Person who can change this. I am aware of that.

I refuse to vote for Romney after his debacle in NH. Perry is not much better. Gingrich apparently helped Al Gore create the Internet while saving helpless puppies in the road (according to his version).

Thanks for the commentary and consideration.
