Campaigning for Ron Paul
Submitted by michelle l on Wed, 2024-02-27 10:37.
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I've not dropped off the planet; I've been so busy lately with the last-minute push for the March 4th primary here in Texas.
Sometimes it seems like an uphill battle against despair, fighting against an almost total media blackout of Dr. Paul's campaign as well as educating voters to his message that have no idea he is still in the race. Sigh.
Thankfully, there are so many motivated supporters who work tirelessly and have so much passion for real change and the Constitution that despair has no chance to gain a foothold.
I sincerely hope this finds everyone healthy and happy and I thoroughly enjoy reading everyone's submissions; with luck I will be able to take some time to butcher the King's English again with my entries :)
Viva la R3voLution!

uphill battle
Well, I sometimes think it is not worth it... the term "Sheepie" is quite appropriate for those who simply want a Shepherd -- this being the "Lord" -- either politically or religiously. They want the comfort and security of being told what to do, as this means that they need not take responsibility for their lives -- except in minor matters of no importance to their "Shepherd". That their Shepherd can call upon them to make sacrifices, and hold themselves ready for shearing is part of the bargain. If you are a good "Sheepie" you are promised a future reward, a bad "Sheepie" is a threat to security and will be put away. Oh, they talk about freedom, and nod approvingly over its benefits... but they really don't want it. For many of them, life is merely an unpleasant interim before a promised Heaven -- in political terms, a period of war and taxes before a promised world of peace and happiness (like the words of the old song, "There'll be blue birds over the white cliffs of Dover, tomorrow when the world is free"). I work a bit for Ron Paul, but I wonder now and then... I'm smart enough to survive, and perhaps even avoid the slaughter and the shearings to come. Yes, an "uphill battle" with myself.
