The Flow of Consciousness

Tonight, I attended a rally for Dr. Ron Paul, the only true fiscal conservative—and libertarian— running for president. It was held at University of Pittsburgh’s Bellefield Hall.

Dr. Paul urged supporters to continue to fight to restore our liberties and protect the constitution. It was incredible to actually hear him in person and shake his hand afterward. He has the aura of benevolent power around him; a certain kind of celebrity which rockstars and models could only dream of.

When I told him that I hope to join him in Congress in 2010 or 2012, he said, “Hehe, alright. I hope to see you.” With that, I’m even more wanting to get into politics.

He may not win the Republican nomination, but he’s done much more than simply run for the presidency. He’s shifting the thinking of a whole new generation of Americans and given Americans who have been around for a while a new hope with an examination of how old ideas can be made new. I look at what I’ve learned in the past six or seven months as a stalwart Paul supporter—if kids were taught what I now know in schools, we’d not be in this mess we’re in and we’d have a Congress that follows the constitution and the rule of law.

Check out my Facebook gallery of pictures from the rally.

I will post videos as soon as Revver or YouTube finishes with them and I get a chance to post them. I’ll also post a picture of myself with the Congressman when it arrives from the lovely lass who took it.

Biggest win of the evening: Ron Paul signed my voter registration card
