Armies Cannot Stop an Idea Who's Time Has Come

I have yet to post a blog about politics because they usually just get me upset. I've been wanting to keep my blogs on lighter situations and steer clear of the animosity that politics bring forth. Also, there's always plenty of other people out there who are so eager to share their "wisdom". But the blatant disregard for anything else that isn't Barack Obama or John McCain is seriously starting to piss me off.

To be clear on my views of the two choices (to me is a lesser of two evils) I am not voting for either of them. Obama talks a lot of talk about "change". That's his big talk but he is never really clear on what he plans to do. He claims to wear his patriotism in his heart but theres a dark circle over that heart that many Americans seems to be oblivious to or blatantly ignore. McCain is a joke who also chooses to say whatever he thinks people want to here. They are both untrustworthy. They are both wolves in sheep's clothing. The campaign is now just a 4th grade recess session where two teams face each other, and have the team captains shout out insults back and forth while the teammates grumble and cheer in the background.

But back to my initial intentions for the post.

Media Ignores Ron Paul March for Liberty.

"Thousands of people marched peacefully in Washington D.C. on Saturday, to honor Texas Congressman Ron Paul’s campaign for liberty, yet the mainstream media uniformly failed to issue a single written report on the event in its aftermath.

The goal of the event was to organize a peaceful, non-violent march on the streets of Washington D.C. followed by a rally outside the Capitol building in support of restoring constitutional government as the founding fathers set forth.


In light of this, the event was a resounding success, as it went off without a hitch and also saw thousands of dollars raised towards the Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty.
It is estimated that around 2500 people attended the rally. Some have expressed disappointment that there were not 15,000 plus at the event, given that number had pledged to attend on the campaign for liberty website.

However, the day was extremely hot and many were seen camping out on the outskirts of the rally area in the shade. Some bloggers have suggested that as many as 8000 people in total attended the event.

These numbers were seemingly not significant enough for the corporate controlled media to pay any attention to the event. A loan blog entry from the Chicago Tribune is about the sum of the written coverage the freedom rally attracted.

Meanwhile, in what was clearly a gross distortion of the truth, CNN ran a short report which stated that Ron Paul addressed only 500 to 800 people."

This is just the most recent of multiple times where the media has denied coverage of anything to do with Ron Paul. This doesn't surprise me as much as it just makes me angry. Angry for the lack of attention to Ron Paul's campaign from all those "fair and balanced" news stations out there. The Government is so warped and to put it blatantly, evil. They honestly do not care about its people, the country or the constitution that we were founded on. And you know what else? Most of Americans don't either. I love the argument that "Ron Paul has a good message but doesn't stand a chance". Ever stop to think that even if he "doesn't stand a chance" if you supported the movement that you believed in and everyone else actually did the same thing instead of the playing along with the media and the jackasses running for president of this once great country, you could actually make a change? A change from this garbage back to where the Founding Fathers built our nation on. Not the "change" that Obama is talking about. And certainly not the ideas that McCain is talking about.
