Hello President Ron Paul Some words on the Tea Party, Ron Paul, and his run for the Presidencyby BJSchaefer

As of 08:58PM EST Ron Paul has raised $5 Million dollars in the largest presidential fundraising drive in American history, the second of such records to be set by Republican Representitive Dr. Ron Paul in as many months.
While large numbers in fundraising is what gets candidates air time in traditional media, there are a few notes that make this drive radically different, and noteworthy. Not only has he pulled in record numbers in sheer volume of donations, he also has pulled in almost 20,000 new donors in one day as well, with a total of almost 120,000 donors for the quarter.? With an army of this size, the Republican Party is ever closer to looking at its new leader, welcome or not by the parties establishment.
With any revolution, gravity is seemingly defied, change comes hard fought, and the landscape is forever imprinted with the success or failure of the drive. The last of such revolution was brought to America by the Baby Boomers, who were told by both sides of the "establishment" that they were cry babies, brats, and didn't know "how things worked". Interesting that these people, who coined the phrase "Don't trust anyone over 30" are now the ones shaming Gen X and Millenials in their support of Dr. Paul, telling us "you don't know how things work", calling us "cry babies", "brats", and worse. Yet doggedly we take it, and for perhaps the first time, Gen X and Gen Y have been able to successfully assert their collective will upon the political sphere that calls us "apathetic", "lazy", and "self-centered". Interesting words coming from the Boomers who refused to fight Vietnam, demand that we obey them when they defied The Greatest Generation at our age, and who now, having spent everything that was handed to them, are now on a nitrous hot-rodders drag strip race to spend our money as well, all for themselves.
For the first time, the Flower Power children are facing a youth uprising that their parents faced, and they don't seem to be liking it one bit. Well, that's ok, because while their busy trying to decide if "friendly socialism" or "national socialism" should be the path of choice, we're deciding something completely different, and are doing so in large numbers that can no longer be ignored.
These are things to be remembered today. Our country is still young, and ever changing. We remember this day as the day that our forefathers told the establishment that they didn't agree with their world view, didn't agree with being told how to live, and we're going to put up with it. And now, over 200 years later, we're doing the same thing. Ron Paul is our Thomas Jefferson. Lew Rockwell is our Ben Franklin, and countless other generals, philosophers, and leaders of the Renewed Right are standing up, coming out of the shadows, and seeing their ideas given light for the first time. They have prepared for this political battle their whole lives, and we were the generations born to follow it. Destiny is set for us, the White House awaits President Paul.

Yes, I've experienced this from the older set. To the Boomers, I'm a traitor for wanting to opt out of social programs. The system will collapse, and it will be all my fault as well as spoiled brats like myself. I've been told that so called freedoms have been disappearing for everyone, and to suck it up. I've even been told by their parents generation that I should be thankful to be alive as they are my elders, and I wouldn't have any rights if it wasn't for those brave young men who fought in the second world war. I wonder sometimes, if the older generations ever think about those brave young men and women in afganistan or Iraq. I wonder how many of the older generation fought as many as 5 tours of duty. I wonder if they care. And as the years go on, and they are no longer with us, will they care who paid the bills? I'd like to think that the older Ron Paul supporters do. As for the others, I sometimes feel like we are a resource to be tapped, and then thrown away.
The greatest generation may have been right about the Boomers not knowing how things work. Look how well they've done at running a government that only has a few pages of instructions.
Dr. Paul's platform is in fact one of the rule of law. Why so many sides attack him shows how corruct the system is and certainly do not want to loose their priviliges. Now the "shadow government" is not sitting quietly and waiting for the outcome of the votes. The interest involved is so huge and Dr. Paul wants to eliminate them. I have a feeling, based on certain facts, that they seem to be able to continue to decide who will be president in certain countries, like Bill Clinton just before meeting the Bilderbergers. Huckabee, for no logical reason is shooting up the polls after meeting with the Bilderbergers. The new Swiss president has also met with the Bilderbergers. and he will be the next president. I do not know how they manage to be either very lucky, or, somehow, very astute at "meeting the right people at the right time", for as many years as we have been getting the lists of guests. Their secrecy is one of the most sophisticated, they do not even have a web site, as far as I know. I personnally do not beleive in their luck, the "coinicidences" are or have been just too statistically impossible. As you well know, if it is not luck, then they have some way of manipulating the outcome of votes, they probably have already decided who will be the next president. Their secrecy being what it is, what is their agenda, and how do they achieve their agenda?
