Well Done Arthur,

Please tell Calvin I said Thanks,
This White and Black thing is just what GOD is counting on, a world with no color, but all colors.

Peace to you,

Don’t let any body make you think that God chose America as his divine messianic force to be …a sort of policemen of the whole world!
…God has a way of standing before the Nation with JUSTICE!…and it seems that I could hear God saying to America “Your too Arrogant”

If you don’t change your ways I will rise Up and Break the Backbone of your Power and I will place it in to the hands of a Nation that doesn’t even know my Name!

Be Still and know that I am God!!
M.L.K.

Nicholas, I work very, very closely with large numbers of college students on a daily basis, and their strong support of Ron Paul really has very lttle to do with the drug issue. It is his stand on the issues that pertain to their economic future and to the future of this country that captivates them.

And your point about media programming is well taken. The media is constantly trying to program us to act the way they and their handlers want us to behave. But speaking in general this idea of non-military people demanding that others valiantly serving their country go off and die in foolish wars is outrageous. Also, this notion of older people hogging all the nation’s resources for themselves while ignoring the needs of the young has got to stop. BTW another manifestation of the one-percent vs. 99% is that one percent, only one percent of the nation, is fighting these wars. The fact that our young warriors support Ron Paul overwhelmingly as do so many of the young in general, is something that we, as a nation, can only ignore to our ultimate peril.

I can buy into your analogy about the Rank and file South Carolina and the audience at last nights debate, only the primary vote will tell. I feel that Paul’s dominance in military money raising comes from the parellel of his younger civilian supporters and the younger military supporter, who like his stance on war and marijuana. In the areas where military bases are located overseas and at home, the media progaming tends to be conservative, therefore geared to defeating the President.

Nicholas, after watching the debate some might say the same thing about his stance on foreign affairs and the defense department, that the reception he got on these issues dooms his chances as a Republian. However, the debate took place in Myrtle Beach. The average rank and file South Carolina Reublican, many of whom are poor or nearly destitute, does not spend too much time in the upscale resort city of Myrtle Beach. And if they do get down there, it is not to attend a two hour debate. Note especially how the audience was all gung ho about fighting wars all over the world, but they are not the soldiers who would have to go war. He has raised more money from active service duty men and women then all the other Republican candidates and Obama combined.

Last nights debate should finally let Ron Paul see that his positions on social issures do not resonate with the GOP, especially in South Carolina. To debate the President he will have to run as a Independent or Libertarian.

Ron Paul and Rosa Parks issue!

A few years ago, congress was voting to honor Rosa Parks and they were going to give her a Gold Medal to honor her. The gold medal cost ~$40,000 (taxpayer money). Dr. Paul, like always didn’t want to spend taxpayer money… so Dr. Paul proposed that all 435 members of Congress donate $100 of their own money to pay for the medal. No one would go along with him!!!

It’s things like this, that make me so passionate in my support for Dr. Paul.

Also, if you think the country would have been better off if there wasn’t a housing bubble and financial collapse:

Thank you Arthur for this thought provoking article. A debate between president Obama and Ron Paul would be very significant.

Ron Paul is consistent & honest and has my vote. I’m hoping for a strong finish in South Carolina and polls seem to show him surging somewhat. He did great in the debate tonight, again, and more Republicans need to consider him as a serious candidate.

Thanks. Also regardinng the debate, the audience cheered lustily when Gingrich lectured Juan Williams and the Black community about the value of work and when Santorum did the same with regards to the sanctity of marriage. But when Ron Paul drove home his point about the racist criminal justice system (which shatters families and destroys job prospects) there was dead silence in the hall.
