About The Post Super Tuesday Ron Paul 2008 Meetup

We are definitely an unusual group of people, as we are not willing to accept defeat, even when the media makes it look like our candidate was smeared on Super Tuesday and no longer has a chance. We are a group of free thinkers. We realize that the media misrepresents the facts. ALL THAT MATTERS in the race for the GOP nomination is the delegate process, and we are committed to teaching it and keeping you posted on the campaign's progress with it's "under the radar" tactic for taking the nomination in September.


Let us recall our history; The Election of 1860

Lincoln had established a solid group of campaign managers and supporters who came to the Republican convention prepared to deal, maneuver, and line up votes for Lincoln. His chief opponent, and the man who was sure that he had the nomination in his pocket, was William H. Seward of New York. However, his front-runner status proved to be his greatest obstacle in that it opened him to political criticism even before the convention delegates had met.

When the Republican delegates gathered in Chicago at the Wigwam (a huge boxlike building) on May 16, they knew that the election of 1860 was theirs to lose. Almost immediately, a stop Seward movement emerged, based upon the argument that he would never carry Indiana or Pennsylvania. Seward led Lincoln on the first ballot 173 1/2 to 102. "I authorize no bargains and will be bound by none," Lincoln telegraphed his campaign managers, but they ignored him to line up delegate support. They won over Indiana and Pennsylvania by offering cabinet posts to those states. Lincoln then gained seventy-nine votes on the second ballot. With the momentum swinging his way, Lincoln won the third ballot.


Let us model after our forefathers

By the grace of God, may we be "doomed" to repeat the history our forefathers created. It is within our ability to do so... and who better to model our modern day revolution after than those who won the first American revolution?

The events that led up to the famous crossing of the Delaware began on 22 August 1776, when the American Army was defeated at Brooklyn Heights. Almost a week later on 27 August 1776, the American Army was again defeated by the British at the Battle of Long Island. After these defeats Washington kept his troops close to New York City, but a final defeat on 16 November 1776 at Fort Washington on Manhattan Island signalled the loss of New York City. With the capture of over 2,600 men and the earlier loss of an equal number of deserters, Washington's army was reduced to the point that it could no longer effectively operate against the British forces.

The American army's retreat through New Jersey brought it to the shores of the Delaware River at McKonkey's Ferry on 7 December 1776. By this time, Washington had about 6,000 men under his command. In order to get his men across the river, he ordered Colonel John Glover of Marblehead, Massachusetts and his regiment of Marblehead fishermen to gather all the large ore-carrying Durham Boats that they could find. They were also ordered to destroy every boat of any size for 30 miles (48 km) above and 30 miles (48 km) below McKonkey's Ferry. Glover was able to gather about 20 or 30 boats and these were used to carry the army across the river to safety in Pennsylvania.

Washington had additional problems, including the fact that the enlistments of his men would expire on December 31, 1776. A series of lost battles and retreats had left morale dangerously low among the soldiers. Many of them were inclined to leave the army once their commission was finished and several had taken the opportunity to desert the army before their enlistments were up. Orders were issued to bring supplies to the camp and men were dispatched to recruit new soldiers, who did slowly begin to arrive at the camp.

Morale was given a boost on December 19 by the publication of a new pamphlet by Thomas Paine. Common Sense had served to increase support for the Revolution in its early days, and Paine's new pamphlet, titled The American Crisis, began with these well known words:

"These are times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."




So what do we do with these stories, now?

I believe the first thing we must consider is having gratitude for the fact that though the tyranny of today is grand, we are not being faced with the degree of challenge our founding fathers faced. We are being given a softer path, though none the less a serious one. The greatest thing we can do with these stories is remind ourselves of the adversity faced in the first revolution and just refuse to give up the fight - refuse to admit defeat because the global elite are powerful enough to fix the election. While that may be true, there have been greater miracles and triumph over adversity in our history, than overcoming this one.

Those who understand "The Secret", Law of Attraction &/or have a strong spiritual side to them, KNOW what I'm talking about. I'm talking everything from thinking it into being, to organizing meditation groups for Divine Government, to praying to God &/or asking for angelic intervention... but whatever your beliefs are it boils down to one common ingredient - faith. In faith we are under grace, not under law... and that is why the laws of success or achievement are bent all the time and victories are had by those who believed even when there was no sign of victory in sight.

I believe our founding fathers were such men, and I believe that modeling after them could produce another miraculous victory in the name of freedom for all. So I urge all members (and passersby) to believe in the unseen... to reach beyond what is reasonable and go all out. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by making Ron Paul's movement as large as possible during and in the years beyond this election. Until all the people of America wake from their trances we should carry on.
