I just popped by The Sniper<\/a> to check on the antics of my battle buddy, Thus Spake Ortner, and found him dissembling some pseudo-intellectual IVAW wienie who, not surprisingly, reinterprets several historical moments (and uses some odd stripper metaphor) to justify his politics.<\/p>\n

It struck me that, speaking of people who think they’re smart, Ron Paul is due to have another rally, which set me to “googling” (actually “Yahooing” because I don’t use Google).<\/p>\n

Sure enough, after a few false starts, they’ve settled on July 12th in D.C<\/a>. But what the Hell for?<\/p>\n

Our goal is to organize a peaceful, non-violent march on the streets of Washington DC followed by a rally in support of R3VOlUTION that is happening in America.<\/p>\n

By involving as many volunteers and participants as we can, we intend to spread the know-how of mass mobilization and direct-action to the movement. As a law-upholding movement, it’s our responsibility to use these Constitutional tools wisely and effectively.<\/p>\n

By inviting people outside the conservative or republican camps, we hope to extend the R3VOlUTION to all people of all backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Remember, when we say “revolution”, we say it with LOVE!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For what? The Ron Paul campaign is over. Dead in the water. Why are you clinging to the cadaver of a failed campaign? One commenter wrote:<\/p>\n

This would be MORE exciting if this event was used to launch an independent\/3rd party run for the presidency with Judge Andrew Napolitano as paul\u2019s vice president. Also throw in celebrities and high profile politicians speaking in the event endorsing the presidential run.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That would be exciting – as exciting as anything else Ron Paul has done.<\/p>\n

Why are these people throwing good money after bad knowing they don’t have a hope? Why are they coming to DC (and raising $30,000 just to have a march in DC)? Another commenter;<\/p>\n

I\u2019m totally pumped about this and I can assure you that there are MILLIONS of people who will be there come rain or shine.
\nLONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don’t you guys realize how goofy you sound and how out-of-touch you are? You spammed every poll on the internet to convince each other that there were more Ron Paul supporters than there really are – but when you show up in DC, the whole world will know there aren’t millions of you. I’d be shocked if you drew a thousand, and all from the area.<\/p>\n

Disrupting state conventions and organizing marches is not the mark of a majority of voters. It’s the mark of a few who are more enamored with the thought of a revolution than they are with actually changing people’s minds.<\/p>\n

Oh, and by the way, all of these heroes of yours, the leaders of your “revolution”, are playing you for saps. What else would call people who are speaking to your emotions and draining off your money in a hopeless endeavor. The ones who aren’t smart enough to take your money are just basking in the pseudo-fame you provide them.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can’t cheat an honest man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
