Ron Paul: "Reality Is Now Setting In For America... It Was All Based On Lies & Ignorance"
If Americans were honest with themselves they would acknowledge that the Republic is no more. We now live in a police state. If we do not recognize and resist this development, freedom and prosperity for all Americans will continue to deteriorate. All liberties in America today are under siege.
It didn’t happen overnight. It took many years of neglect for our liberties to be given away so casually for a promise of security from the politicians. The tragic part is that the more security was promised — physical and economic — the less liberty was protected.
With cradle-to-grave welfare protecting all citizens from any mistakes and a perpetual global war on terrorism, which a majority of Americans were convinced was absolutely necessary for our survival, our security and prosperity has been sacrificed.
It was all based on lies and ignorance. Many came to believe that their best interests were served by giving up a little freedom now and then to gain a better life.
The trap was set. At the beginning of a cycle that systematically undermines liberty with delusions of easy prosperity, the change may actually seem to be beneficial to a few. But to me that’s like excusing embezzlement as a road to leisure and wealth — eventually payment and punishment always come due. One cannot escape the fact that a society’s wealth cannot be sustained or increased without work and productive effort. Yes, some criminal elements can benefit for a while, but reality always sets in.
Reality is now setting in for America and for that matter for most of the world.

AMERICA HAS FALLEN FOR satan'S PLAN - PER RON PAUL
He is one of the few honest voices out there. Michelle Bachman was another one. I mourn the loss of our once-great country. What we have coming to us for our indolence will never be spoken about without horror for the rest of the telestial existence of this orb. All our sins will come upon our heads ten-fold (and all at once), as Babylon falls:
This has been going on for a long, long time. It reminds me of a paper found in my PhD stack (Piled higher and Deeper)- a campaign poster from 1952. An illustration of how they "seduced the more part of the righteous until they had come down to believe in their works and partake of their spoils". "Seduced" is an interesting choice in words. It implies that the people's hearts were turned-- lured, actually-- to someone or something else. The covenant Bride left the Bridegroom.
