Naturally, the media will ignore the results, claiming that Paul supporters 'spammed' the poll. But they know perfectly well that is not the case. If it were so the present technologies make proving that a simple matter. The IP addresses do not lie. But lies are thick upon the ground, in every direction.

How this happened is a long story. Telling it debunks more Icons than you would imagine. Ronald Reagan, William Buckley, Ralph Reed, Pat Robertson, the list is seemingly endless. To control us they needed to build out lines of argument that would support their larcenous intentions. All of the above, and more, helped with the process; each was well compensated. You need to know because each of those involved is still desperately working to hold in place the shackles that bind Americans to a new century of serfdom.

On the Spiritual Politician this week we will hear from Connie Ruffley, the co-president of United Republicans of California, the group that launched the Goldwater Revolution, getting him the nomination in 1964. UROC tried to warn us in 1974 that Ronald Reagan was not fit to be president; he had never been a conservative. Ronnie and the other well compensated operatives employed by the NeoCons need to be outed so that this time we understand how they operate and see those operatives still in place for what they are. We now understand that William Buckley's job was to go after the authentic voice of dissent coming from Conservatives in the 1960s and hijack the Movement Goldwater started. We heard Jim Capo on that a couple of weeks ago. But we need the whole story especially because so many of them are still alive and twitching. We should also have listened to Smedley Butler.

We learn slow, but we do eventually get it. This time, the Revolution will not be canceled. We owe it to ourselves and to Ron Paul to make sure we understand what happened. Ron Paul has signed on to handle the Federal Problem. We need to handle our communities and rebuild the economy. Thank God for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is compelling the respect of ordinary Americans, the kind of people who had given up on politics. He is creating a movement more profound, deeper, and more expressive of the real spirit of America than we have ever seen.

By comparison, Goldwater's campaign was nothing. In fact, America has seen nothing like the Paul Campaign since 1775. What was true then, is true today.

The truth is a heady drink.

A Revolution has begun, a continuation of the one we did not finish in 1776.

Through the colonial period Puritans, Quakers, Chesapeakes and Scots-Irish explored the ideas of freedom that resulted in the adoption of the principles of Natural Law as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence.

This time the Ron Paul Revolution will finish what a stubborn people, determined to govern themselves, started.

Those ideas explored the idea that God endowed each individual with an immediate and personal relationship with Him. Remote from England the ideas that were born from the most ancient ideas of Christianity found resonance with new ideas then finding light in the works of John Locke and other writers on the ideas of Natural Rights.

The ideas of individual freedom had moved into the realm of politics through a process that had been going on for six generations. Getting things straight can take time. The ideas of liberty and the decentralized ability to take action were defused within the whole population of New England.

The Commander of the British troops, General Gage, understood what he was up against. He wrote copious letters to his own commanders in England explaining that he could not seize the leaders of the Rebellion because in their place others would simply take action. Organizing action in New England had become decentralized, with individuals using their ample initiative. In this way the Sons of Liberty came together as a secret society and the Committees of Correspondence began meeting to build consensus.

America would be characterized by the initiative of its people until the present monarchy arose, asserting through changed practice that sovereignty was again held by government instead of by individuals who hired government to handle some things for them. Again, the initiative of a free people has responded to refute that assertion.

Bush Co. is wrong if they think they will be allowed to simply leave office with their ill-gotten gains. They are deluded if they think they can get away with establishing martial law. Americans have all the grit needed to confront what comes; Impeachment is too easy; what Bush Co. needs is indictments.

The Ron Paul Revolution brings in its wake the proof that the people can do it themselves. The spontaneous order and zeal of the Ron Paul Campaign, especially its unofficial grass roots, is tangible, viral, and it establishes a platform for action that will remain, come what may.
