Critical Thinking

In today's society of self-imposed totalitarianism implemented by use of fear and feeding off of people's patriotic bullshit cheers; we must learn to think for ourselves. If we don't politicians and lawmakers will tell us what to feel and use our legislature for big business and special interests. We as a society have let this happen, despite the large number of people who are against such acts.

We voted in men and women no less evil than anyone they speak against. They use our hard earned tax dollars for defense spending which ultimately means big defense contracts for United Defense, other defense companies, and the big petro companies to feed the tanks and trucks and make billions. Not to mention all the people who die on both sides of the war for such causes. Just as the Iraq War has done, even the Afghanistan invasion was motivated by big business. An oil pipeline was built by Haliburton taking oil from the Caspian Sea to the Orient. Basically meaning American businessmen have the money from that, and not Middle Eastern oil. But that's no good since these companies get HUGE tax breaks and even want to operate in the middle east where taxes are lower. While they try to get the layman to shout against trivial problems like immigration. Which was never a problem when all the white people were coming here. This is an example of the media which is predominately owned by a very small number large corporations who spread the news they want you to hear.

To prove my point that the media does NOT want you to know what's really going on at home or abroad I will give an example. How many of you know Barrack Obama, or Fred Thompson. Yes I'm sure you all know them. But how many of you know Ron Paul? Ron Paul has broken Campaign financing records, and is extremely popular and the fastest growing candidate. Why haven't you heard of him? Because he promotes a policy that will lower taxes, promote more competition in the market place (bad for big business.) He also wants to eliminate the government's recent growth in power and socialist policies. He was one of the few congressman to vote against the Patriot Act (which only really helps cops bust drug dealers and have fun with their "spy toys" and gadgets.)

This man is bad for the people in power. He will bring America back. Right now the federal government has more power than ever over the citizens. They own us, and they out taxes on the idea. They give us back what they see fit, and we get whatever is left. Not the other way around as it should be. They also can take you without any evidence or reason lock you away in a secret prison with no rights, no Habeas Corpus, no charges, no "speedy trial" for an indefinite period of time. Something totalitarian governments do, not democracies.

Government services are bad and lead to socialism which always fails. But true democracy says the people know what's best, not the government and believe me, it's so very true. Politicans are "greeters" and "people person's" and not the type of people you want figuring out how to improve poverty, etc. These are matters best left to private minds.

In a system where half the people don't vote because they feel their vote is pointless, it leaves the people in power in the place they want to be, in power. But they help to push the idea that voting doesn't work. The system as it is does that. The 2 partied system also pushes this idea, as well as perfectly sets up the governement for corruption. To get people on your side you simply have to pay the right people the right amount, in 'campaign contributions' which can pretty much be spent in most any way you can think of. So you would pay off a democratic party leader, and a few "swing votes" and do the same for the republicans and you get the legislation that you want out there. Too bad I'm not rich.

But this begs the question, with all that bullshit going on, how can we think for ourselves? Well it's pretty easy. Just take away all the bullshit the media tells you. Believe half of it, and think how could someone benefit from this. Most likely you'll think correctly. If we do not think for ourselves and let the government continue it's horrible policies we will let the power slip away from us even further and we have no one to protect us.

Think and good things will come.

RON PAUL 2008!
