If you’re a political activist or fighting for a cause, you have to get out of your comfort zone and try to get other people to support the same things that you do in order for your movement to grow. In your face efforts may not be the best way to do this. Anti-abortionists hang out with other anti-abortionists and abortionists hang out with abortionists and they distribute their leaflets and plan their demonstrations totally at the mercy of the current attitude of the corporate owned media. While both sides may have rational and logical arguments, they are either painted as saviors of women’s rights or babies or fringe lunatics depending on the agenda of the current administration and its influence over the corporate owned media.
In the same manner, during elections, depending on who the corporate owned media wants to get elected, radical liberals or radical conservatives can be painted as normal, everyday people crusading for our country and your way of life. We saw this in this past election as all Republicans were painted to be neocons, with no distinction between them, and supporters of Bush who has been blamed for this country’s failures regardless of a Democratic legislature that supported him. The true Republican stance was forgotten.
Ron Paul supporters also allow themselves to be taken advantage of in this way. Even though Ron Paul only supports the Constitution, as do his followers, he was painted as a rebel and fringe candidate while his supporters were collectivized and portrayed as racists, conspiracy theorists, and fringe lunatics. Ron’s rational reasoning was lost as a small portion of his followers were shown ranting and raving at passers by and disrupting events staged by other candidates. While an argument can be made that they were forced to do this by the lack of media coverage, many possible recruits were lost as a result of these images and did not bother to listen to the message.
Unfortunately, this image of Ron Paul now lingers, the benefits of the Constitution are no longer taught in schools, and it may be better for his supporters to enter a kind of stealth mode using only his well-stated arguments on the issues rather than his name. Ron’s message is rational and correct and speaks for its self. After a recruiting effort is successfully made, the recruit(s) could be prodded towards Ron’s camp.
Like all human beings, Ron Paul supporters feel most comfortable when they are among each other, but they must get out and use their knowledge to convince others that the Republican philosophy is what this country was founded on and made it successful. It is better to do this individually than in groups so that the message is spread faster and so that they do not allow the media to castrate them.
People tend to listen more when they are told that, the economic problem is because our entire country’s GDP is owed to a private bank, than they do when they are told that, Ron Paul says that the economic problems have been caused by the Federal Reserve and it must go. You might want to mention that, there are over 135,000 federal regulations on the Congressional Record and Congress is only given 60 days to evaluate new regulations as to their effect on already existing ones before they are implemented, as opposed to, Ron Paul says that federal regulations are unconstitutional.
Perhaps now is the time to promote the message instead of the man. Once people are listening, the conversation will be able to get more in-depth and eventually, they will ask you, which candidate supports these views.
