Forward or Back?

If you, like me, are ready for a revolution in this country, then you're probably focused most on two candidates who seem to be the most anti-establishment and pro-change: Barack Obama and Ron Paul. Both are promising to move this country in a different direction. The question we are facing in choosing between the two, however, is this: do we want to move forward as adults into a new, progressive, hopeful and inclusive future, or do we want to take this country back to the 1950s, when we felt optimistic and innocent, but racism and sexism were the status quo?

That's how I see it. Barack Obama strikes me as wanting to move us forward into a more enlightened future. And I think Ron Paul wants to take us back to the way we were before the liberals supposedly messed everything up. And if that message speaks to you, then head on back with Ron Paul and his blimp and don't let the door hit you on the way out. I, for one, am ready to move forward.
