::::::::

After reading the last article by Justin Riamondo of Anti-war.com (http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=12240) I have to say I am really so scared for our country.
I am scared to be surrounded by so many people that believe this war should continue for 100 more years and that we should be occupying every country on the globe.  I'm scared that it has become a way of life to take away our freedoms to fight the 'war on terror' indefinately.  I'm scared that people are told who to vote for by the main stream media yet no one pays attention to the fact that they are actually telling us who we can't vote for by excluding all mention of a candidate like Ron Paul in the news, newspapers,news talk shows and talk radio.  Fox News skipped over Ron Paul in their Nevada Caucus results ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L5dYzu1w9k ) while The New York Times left Ron Paul off their "Primary Season Election Results" (http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/index.html).
I'm scared because this is what the American people are saying when they vote for McCain & Hillary. That's it's OK!
What is WRONG with the people of South Carolina & New Hampshire and Iowa?  Do they love what is going on in our country now and our never ending war on terror with a recession looming? Do they agree with Bush? Because if they don't --then why are they voting for more of the same?? Why do they vote for those who are most likely to take away their freedoms, guns, open the doors to illegal immigration and continue the war?  Apparently the government is winning when they use the tactic of "terror" and can round the people up to vote their way. 
I keep shaking my head but I can't seem to shake the people of the United States!  The Ron Paul Revolution is shouting out loud and clear his very real message about where our country is headed if we continue on this journey and I'm sad to say after seeing the results in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina that I don't think people are paying much attention!   Has anyone picked up a copy of "A Nation of Sheep" by Judge Napolitano or "The End of America" by Naomi Wolf and not seen the writing on the wall yet?
New Hampshire, a state who are said to live by the motto 'Live Free or Die' voted for those whom are most likely to take away their freedom of having guns while they send their children off to die in war.
South Carolina votes overwhelmingly for the man who feels that we should occupy the middle east for 100 years with no end of war in sight and for whom intervening in other nations is an on-going ego trip! Iowa have you really listened to what Huckabee has said lately? "[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it's a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards,".  So now Huckabee will change the Constitution to what HE BELIEVES are God's standards?  What happened to the separation of Church and State and the First Amendment of the Constitution?
The MSM has cut off Ron Paul from all Media and skips over his second place win in Nevada as if it didn't happen.  Don't any of you ever ask yourselves who owns the MSM? Who owns Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC??.....did any of you who voted for these war-mongers ever consider that?  Those whom profit off the war perhaps?? It's real easy to find out, just google it!  I did!   The war is making too much money for a few powerful elite and the American People are falling right into their little plot!  You go out and vote for corporate candidates and then whine when you can't pay to heat your homes or when food becomes a luxury?
  
Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate calling to bring the troops home immediately. He does not accept money from special interest and his voting record in congress has never waivered from The Constitution of the United States of America.  He KNOWS about what is wrong with our economy because he has written books on economics! ( http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Peace-Prosperity-Ron-Paul/dp/B000XG6SAM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201019145&sr=1-4), Yet you voters of McCain pushed the button to vote for a man whom in the last GOP debate said he had "bought a copy of Greenspan's book" and was reading it??  DID ANY OF YOU EVEN WATCH THE DEBATE?? Because to go out and vote for a man who knows nothing about the economy until he finishes reading a book in a time when our economy is on the edge of a recession is insane! 
All we have left is the internet....READ ALL YOU CAN and WAKE UP!  I'm scared. I'm scared of the people who can get dressed, put on their coat and go out to vote and push the button for the continuation of the War-Monger State.  For those who fall for the lies, scams, and agendas of those who they vote for but don't bother to research!  I actually hear woman say "I'm voting for Romney because he's the best looking".  "I'm voting for McCain because he is the most Presidential in presentation".  WAKE UP LADIES!  READ! Look at where these candidates came from and where they aim to go. Don't listen to what they say they intend to do, look at what they have done and where they have been, voted, stood!  How can those who believe in America and the Constitution vote for any of these contenders when you look at their backgrounds? Because Chuck Norris told you to?  Because God believes our country should be run a certain way?
WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
And if you're not going to read about the candidates you're voting for at least pick up a copy of Animal Farm and figure out which pig your backing. Well, that's even if you do vote.  I can't believe the amount of people who say "I don't pay much attention to politics so I don't vote"
Last but not least, make sure your vote is counted if you do vote.  Did you actually vote for McCain or did the non-paper-trail voting machines just say you did? Who owns Diebold? Who counts the votes?  READ READ READ...at least while you still can because the Internet is next....just ask John McCain about his internet bill.....
