> So why doesn’t the average American know about Ron Paul and what he stands for? I was at a party last night and threw out his name and a couple people looked at me like I was retarded. I had to go into a 45 minute speech on why Ron Paul was the fucking man and every other politician is a crooked, lying, sack of shit.

It’s a two part problem. First, there is a lot of overlap in the ownership and interests of big media and big banking, so you won’t see a lot about Ron Paul’s anti Federal Reserve message in the media. And since American’s are morons who get 90% of their news from TV, very few know what’s going on in the world, but they do know who’s winning on American Idol.

It’s not a pretty picture for anyone, but I agree that would be the best overall outcome for our country.
