An Open Letter to the keepers of the Old Media’
Sometimes I wish I understood, but could not seem to
comprehend why you do it, but then minutes later I
did not give a damn anymore.
Why are you so set on who you want the presidential
candidates to be? Is it that you see that the
Status Quo is threatened?
Is change such a bad thing? Maybe the reason doesn’t matter.
In the end of each day, no matter if you are a democrat,
republican, liberal, conservative, neo-con, corporate power
representative, or what ever else …
We are all still United States Citizens.
We all care about America, right … Right?
The sad truth is that many do not.
Perhaps liberty is not a concern of the powerful,
and If you do not care, then I can not care for you.
For years we the people have force fed what you
the corperate meadia deem to be important
down the throats of all of us flesh and blood citizens.
Minimized most of what the public should be concerned
about while sensationalizing the mundane and trivial.
Did you do it for the all powerful dollar?
The same dollar that is now worth half of what it
was worth a few years ago? Even as I ask, the reason
does not matter. You will fail.
I must admit that you almost had me.
At one time I felt that the United States
reigned supreme, the greatest, the infallible, the just.
Those were happy times … so I happily ignored
reality while I sort-of-listened to your newscasters
tell me how it really was.
Oh yes, I remember … The ‘Sold’ war. The logic,
your logic, to me it made sense. it was simple really,
simple enough for the average channel surfer or newspaper
reader to get: To defend, we must go on the offense.
To protect ourself, we must attack them. And years later,
after the reasons we went there had changed and changed again …
And when there was no army left for us to fight …
new reasons were given to us as to why are still there
and why we had to stay. But, like so many others,
I could flip through the channels, not feeling anything
as the casualty toll rose and rose.
If not for you, maybe I would not have ever given a damn.
I do not remember exactly when, or how it happened, I can
only remember the ‘why’: Giuliani Vs. Clinton, or maybe
Rommy Vs. Obama or maybe it would be McCain VS. Edwards.
Flick, flick, flick, same, same, same, ‘one of these guys
WILL be your candidate, we say so.’ I change the channel
again. I could not care less because I did not care at all.
I must thank you for opening my eyes.
You see, somewhere in the haze,
something began to stand out.
Every once in a while I would be trying to
ignore you while waiting for the next rerun
of my favorite show and you would continue
to tell us who our president would be.
Then you went out of your way to tell us that there
was someone who has ‘No chance’ and you did not know
why they were even trying.
At first I dismissed it, after all, you were telling us
who was ‘winning’, and you could be trusted, but the more
I heard about the guy who absolutely had ‘No CHANCE!’
This man, ‘Ron Paul, would never … could never …’ the
closer I began to listen.
Somehow if you hear shouting for so long, it simply
becomes background noise and the smallest whisper
can be heard. In all of your screaming about who was
winning, the only thing I picked up was the name
that you said, could not.
And that is why you my corporate overlords and
the Department Uf Misinformation will fail.
“Google Ron Paul!” a sign said.
It was somewhere on a street. I passed it as I drove
home one day. Because of you, I remembered that name.
I wanted to see what it was about this person that made
you so sure he could not be in the running.
So I went home and looked up the name.
I do not even have to tell you what happened then.
Almost any American that does it for themselves
already knows what I’m talking about.
I will never forget that it was your bias against
this man that made me remember him.
Now as I close out this letter, I imagine that for
every person who looked into this so called ‘No Chance’
candidate you think to your collective selves:
‘ “So What! You are in the minority, you still have
no chance! No Chance! No Chance!” ‘
I would just like to point out that our numbers continue to grow substantially
It’s because the average person that listens to you
will stay exactly like I was. You tell them who you think
our next president will be and they will happily
sit back and accept that you know what you are
talking about.
On their recliners or couches, fine with the status quo,
they do not think they count and they will not make an
effort to vote. After all, You told them the battle
has already been decided.
With the exception of the ones who look in to the only
person who can not win, the rest will not give a damn
at all … ever.
Meanwhile this minority, this revolution, it does what
it does, these amazing things that have never been done
before, these are the people who are out there making
a change, and then there is you, continuing to do the
best thing for us by ignoring Ron Paul.
And that is why you my old media friend will fail.
Everyone, you’re welcome to partake in
the Tea Party of ‘07! December 15th
Thanks for reading.
One more thing....
Ron Paul is the first AND only candidate in history
to provide real time data on his donation influx
to the public, not just to the FEC.
This allows the public to actually SEE who supports him.
