The Internet is Core Too

His Coreness Ron Paul has a huge internet following because the internet is unregulated. Freedom, for the most part, should be too. In a way, the internet is the last bastion of freedom. I mean, look at this site. We can write fuck and shit here. We can slap chunks of real-life conversation next to poetry next to a minute by minute description of something as unimportant as an exhibition baseball game. We can do and say whatever we want here.

And that's why people who love the internet, people who don't want to see it regulated and enjoy its freedoms, also love Ron Paul.

Because His Coreness knows that freedom is not having nothing left to lose, freedom is not an eagle soaring; freedom is having the inalienable right to be who you want to be how you want to be. Freedom is knowing that when you wake up in the morning, your life, your money and your community are just that: yours.

Freedom doesn't belong to the Federal Reserve or to Congress. Freedom is not something that can be forced on a bunch of desert dwelling zealots. Freedom is belonging to yourself. And following that logic, freedom is knowing that it is up to you to save and to help you.

And that's why Ron Paul has received over two million dollars in donations from the common human. The common human understands that we have not had freedom for a long time. I mean sure, we've been told we do, we've even been told that terrorists hate our freedom, but truthfully no one can hate freedom and furthermore, no one who actually has it will need to be told that they have it.

The government tells us what our money is worth, and in doing so, they tell us what we're worth. They tell us what our goods will cost, and in doing so, they determine how much money we have to spend on our goods. The government has no respect for our freedoms because we have no respect for our freedoms.

We're too busy worrying about who gets to have an abortion, or marry someone of the same sex, or drive at a certain rate of speed. We the people stopped caring about our inalienable rights because the government promised us that they'd take care of us.

As if we were a bunch of babies.

And that's why the folks on the internet love Ron Paul, because the internet is where we had to run to express ourselves freely. The internet, like a brand new country isolated from the rest of the world, doesn't have any real rules. It exists relatively unregulated and free of the domain of government interaction (outside of China, anyway). And, much like a brand new country, the internet won't get to run around wreaking havoc for long. Eventually, the freedom here on the net will be stifled, too. Just like individual freedom has been taken, just like the free market economy was taken and just like the free press was purchased.

Eventually, we won't have this medium in a truly free form.

And when it dies, believe me, the real terrorists will have won.

Hopefully, Ron Paul will get the opportunity to change all that.

Oh yeah, and because I'm contractually obligated to say it: Ron Paul is Core.

Core to the core.
