 That he did. 2008 wasn't all that long ago.  
 Indeed. It's been a journey. But I think that's why we're here, directly or indirectly. He planted seeds.

 In 2012 my husband was a delegate for Ron Paul and I was an alternate.  That was great times, but eye opening.  I knew the Republican Party had problems, but didn't fully understand the depths of their corruption and tyranny until that National Convention.  The corrupt actions they took were truly mind blowing. 
 It’s the hard part no one wants to face.. there is no corrupt “them”. Only a corrupt “us”. 
 In some ways it is like arguing "Stalin is better than Hitler."  "No, Hitler is better than Stalin."  Both are horrendous and we often are put in the position of voting for the slightly less atrociously bad.
