Allan from Fallbrook
ParticipantRus: I think the revolution is already underway. I think that “business as usual”, whether in politics, media or business is over. The true threat of someone like Ron Paul, libertarian wingnut or no, is that he is a slap upside the head for the mainstream, and therefore dangerous.
The problem is that the flow of information can no longer be contained. While I understand that the internet can be controlled to a certain extent, the idea of a grass roots movement is again proving successful. Moveon.org showed how a “netroots” campaign could work in ’04, and Ron Paul’s internet based fund raising showed how powerful the medium could be.
Once Joe Sixpack is forced to confront the facts: His house is no longer an ATM machine, real wages have been stagnant since the 1970s, China is no longer willing to underwrite his Visa card, and his job just got outsourced, well, you will see the cauldron start to bubble.
Then we can break out our bandido outfits and ride like Pancho Villa!

ParticipantRus: Well, I never took you for one. While we might joke about a revolution, there is something really stinky about the way Ron Paul is being “handled”, both in terms of media coverage, as well as that thoroughly shameful nonsense at the debate.
I’m not going to go so far as to claim that miscount in NH was intentional, but… I get the sense of a fairly concerted effort to push that Paul campaign to the fringe. The timing of those articles alleging his involvement with a white supremacist newsletter is also interesting. Taken as a whole, it definitely starts to smell.

ParticipantRus: Time for a coup d’etat. I’m telling ya, brother.
Remember what Jefferson said about The Tree of Liberty and the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Viva la revolucion!
