Ron Paul the Resurrection of the Republic By the Watchman Dana G Smith Keywords: Ron Paul, Revolution, Twin Cities, Constitution Words: 2103
Summary: Ron Paul stood as a man in the government opposed to the many things it was doing wrong, but now however, beside him were thousands. Everyone one of them convinced they were right, they were Patriots, and they were going to change things. America was going to hear them. All the way to Washington on one side to the very borders of the nation we call America. Yes, the Republic was born again last night, even if you could not bear witness to it, it was there, shining in the hearts of the men, women, and those viewing by media, a light that shown in the darkness which allowed them to have hope and a way to fight the ongoing corruption of their nation.

Lew Rockwell addresses the Ron Paul Rally for the Republic in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sept. 2, 2008
Hurricane Gustave rolled into history this week as the Republicans were all planning on taking the Twin Cities in Minnesota by storm. Literally, but the plans were laid back while the Republican Governors all went south to meet the Hurricane head on. The total economic impact by the Republican gathering was estimated to be 150 to 160 million. Now that’s no small change, seems like conventions make money and the fact that the GOP express plan on filling the 20,000 seat Excel center is no small matter.
With Storms interrupting the convention plans, and a rebellion going on, what’s a republican to do? That was definitely on some minds as the Ron Paul Revolution took over with 12,000 plus disillusioned Republicans and independents who converged on the Target Center in the Twin Cities as well. It was there that the boisterous, loud, chanting of FREEEEE-DOM Rolled out on the tongues of those gathered. From the likes of this NBA basketball arena the Revolution gained steam until the climax with the leader of the Pack, Ron Paul himself. Paul who openly has challenged both the democrats and republicans alike stood tall and listened to the RON PAUL chanting in the crowd when they greeted him.
Speakers such as Jesse Ventura, Lew Rockwell, Doug Wead, and others brought the meeting to its heights as music also rang out to highlight the twin convention in the Twin Cities. Barry Goldwater Jr. introduced Ron Paul who came to the podium and spoke for about an hour with numerous interruptions from cheering Revolutionaries.
This night was about the Constitution; even Ron Paul would tell you that. It was about the first, second, third, fourth, fifth amendments and the others. It was about the Patriots who clearly distinguished themselves and what they believed when they challenged the rule and might of King George of England. Yes it was about all this and more. What’s more, it was about the modern day American Patriots who gathered to hear Ron Paul and the litany of speakers. The very ones who would tell them how to turn the nation they once knew back into the Republic it once was. In all it was a celebration of Freedom. It was about the Neo-Cons and the empire they are trying to build. It was about Ron Paul who said that if he was President it wasn’t about what he would do in office, but those things he wouldn’t do. The constitution doesn’t allow me to do these things, Paul said when going through the list. He could not and would not be a global empire builder and make wars. He would not take away the peoples rights and trash the freedoms guaranteed under the constitution. He would not continue the ill regarded Fed and its house of cards. The cheering was at its peak by now, Paul looked around, smiling. This was his crowd, his day, and his message had gotten out. Ron Paul stood as a man in the government opposed to the many things it was doing wrong, but now however, beside him were thousands. Everyone one of them convinced they were right, they were Patriots, and they were going to change things. America was going to hear them. All the way to Washington on one side to the very borders of the nation we call America. Yes, the Republic was born again last night, even if you could not bear witness to it, it was there, shining in the hearts of the men, women, and those viewing by media, a light that shown in the darkness which allowed them to have hope and a way to fight the ongoing corruption of their nation.
Paul warned them that they must begin now. Speaking from his heart and not from a memoranda of quotes, Paul described an America that once was a Republic but now its future as a Republic was bleak. Describing the trend of the current democracy to tear apart the constitutional ideals by more spending, taxes, rules, inflation, and militarism, it was quite clear America, the Republic is in trouble. I remember the Phrase "and the Republic for which it stands." Last night the Republic was standing again, and it was being raised as the titanic from the depths of despair. It was shaky though, but it rose up, to tell all those listening that what Ron Paul was saying was this; "the tyranny must be reversed or the grand experiment of the American Republic will end." [Italics phrase in part from http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog/?p=432]
It was also clear that the themes of Patriotism were a clear point to get across. I have maintained that the Patriots who signed the Declaration of Independence were radicals and ones who not only would oppose the current status quo, but would fight it. They would lay all on the line for what they believed. Last night Ron Paul made the clarion call to those listening to understand Patriotism. For the record, a Patriot is not one who will go and fight battles of war for the government just because the government wants them too. It is all too often available, the use of young men and women to foment the goals of any current administration. This is not saying anything against those who do and have gone to battle in war. The reality here is defending the constitutional truths, the ideals, and freedoms for which they stand.

The theme of Patriotism was also closely linked to two other important points. One was national sovereignty and the other was peaceful resistance to bring about change. Paul has been on the forefront opposing the International Court in The Hague, the UN, the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA, NAU, and the European Union. The Words today known in many circles as the New World Order has been replaced by those creating the agenda for the elite. The phrase today is Globalism. It doesn’t have any place for national identity or individualism. This is what Ron Paul warns us all about. Last night amid applause, he staunchly told those who would hear, we don’t have much time. He was worried, Paul said "of the American militarism." There is no doubt Paul believed if we continued to follow this course, then ruin would follow. He further challenged the listeners. Now all these people could understand and know what was going on. Because they did understand Paul said "you have a responsibility to do something." As Paul moved toward the real trouble, he touched on another important point, that of Martin Luther King’s strategy, which was ‘peaceful civil disobedience.’ Paul stresses the point of the constitution being used to restrain the government and not the people. To move the government and the nation, non violent means must be used to bring the message to the masses. Below is an excerpt of Ron Paul’s comments on this.
The Constitution must once again be used as an instrument to restrain the government, not the people. Creative energy must be allowed to thrive without the heavy hand of government monitoring every move. [IBID]
Though we preach non-violence, our opponents who feel threatened, will not hesitate to use force against us. Since the opposition is the state, using the armed might of government to stifle our effort should not surprise us. Recent changes in the law voiding protection of our civil liberties since 9/11, make it quite convenient for hostile government agents to undermine our right to speak out and protest. [IBID]
The question of civil disobedience is of great importance. I personally don’t want to participate in any acts of violence or set the stage where violence will easily break out. But we’re nearing the point where all of us who are struggling to bring about change will have to make a decision regarding civil disobedience. [IBID]
There is no doubt the fire was lit in the lives of thousands. The one with the torch was Ron Paul and all those who stood on the podium to ignite the flame of the Republic once again. Ron Paul, in his own words said this "We’re here today to send a message, not just to the Republican Party, not just to the politicians in power, but to the whole country, and possibly the entire world." He did just that.
After the speech the crowd was standing cheering, yelling, and celebrating the victory of the night. It was a demonstration of what our forefathers wrote in the constitution. It was a night of a free public gathering where freedom of speech was initiated and the thoughts of many united in a theme to bring about change. The elitist power brokers want the change and control they have initiated. They will stop at nothing to destroy this ideal and flame of liberty. There is no difference here between the Chinese standing against the tanks in Tiananmen Square and those who stood, howbeit briefly with Ron Paul for the Revolution.
Ron Paul once again speaks saying "the power brokers are convinced they can maintain control with no serious challenge. They have it wrong. We will challenge them on all fronts—in every state and at all levels of government. First of all, the philosophic revolution will propel the political revolution. The educational effort will spread the message of the Freedom Philosophy. Individual liberty must be our goal. Prosperity and peace will follow. Without liberty, peace and prosperity are unachievable." [IBID]
As I was watching the events, the channel turned abruptly, it was over. The roaring mob of chanting Revolutionaries saying ‘FREE-DOM’ and RON – PAUL ended. Immediately the scene was on the Republican convention. C-Span had changed the coverage. As I watched I saw an older veteran in his eighties, I suppose, with a blue VFW cap on. He was yawning, the camera turned to view the audience. The whole scene was orderly, fairly quiet, except for a speaker. No shouting, no loud noise, just a listener yawning. The pumping adrenalin in my system seemed to slow down, as if on idle. This place was no match for what I had just heard. From Revolution to status quo, from change to complacency, from Patriotism based on Constitutionality to the idea that freedom as we know it is not all its cracked up to be. Yes, the light had been lit this night, but how many would really follow through? Time would tell. Do we have time to change it? Can we start today? How much peaceful resistance must we do to bring us back to the constitution and the republic? Thoughts continued to race in my head. I turned off the light, thinking to myself that ‘sleep would be good tonight, tomorrows another day.’ See you on the rebound, my friend. See you in the New Republic; the Constitutional agenda has been set. Have you understood this?
