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.
No practiced orator, Ron Paul is the thing that Bush Co. fears most; an honest man on whom they hold no paper; the kind of man who lives his conscience, knows the truth an uses it.
Expect more attacks from the Council on Foreign Relations types, the political wannabes trying out for the lead in the next corporate-government production of virtual reality intended to numb us into quiescence.
What are the chances that Ron could be elected President? Ask Las Vegas. The odds have been dropping. They dropped to 8 to 1 after the Iowa Straw Poll. Since then his visibility has continued to do nothing but grow. We can win.
You don't have to agree with Paul on everything. His promise is simply to leave us alone and make government do the same. That is what he wants for his grandchildren and all Americans, a world where we use persuasion, do the right thing, and come together in fellowship across the seemingly impossible chasms of hate government and corporations have created to divide us.
