Ron Paul Ends His Presidential Campaign

Last night at 10 PM (EST), Ron Paul ended his bid for the Republican Party's presidential nomination. Personally, I am glad that he ended his campaign. I believed in his message from the first time that I heard of him, but he was fighting to big of a war for him to win. Fortunately, he's changing his strategy, but he's continuing the war for our liberties.

There seems to be too many people feeling betrayed by Ron Paul's decision to end his campaign, but wars are not won by single battles. Wars are long, drawn out, and costly. Putting effort into a losing battle when you can count your losses and mount a new, stronger, and more efficient attack is a stupid thing to do and can even cost you the war. Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty is this new, stronger, efficient attack on the big government politics that we continue to see with the Republican and Democrat parties. We may not get to win back the White House in 2008, but we can damn sure make our presence known even more than we did with the presidential primaries.

Don't fool yourselves, the two major parties are very very powerful. They have the media in their pockets and deep-pocketed corporate sponsors. They can't be defeated in the course of 18 months or two years. We can't reach everybody and change their minds instantly. We have the cunning and we have the truth behind us. We won't be defeated if we continue to work to bring America back to the way it was meant to be.

The argument for liberty is much stronger than the argument for an invasive government. The American people have liberty in their bloods. It just needs to be awoken and brought out. This revolution is just the thing to do it. Once the beast is woken, there's no stopping it. The beast is awake. It's time for us to be a part of that beast and take back what's rightfully ours.
