The Billboard Made Me Smile

Writes Kristin Larabee: “The picture of the LRC billboard in your Saturday blog made me smile, and I must concur with the gentleman who paid for the ad that education can indeed make a big difference. For example, a mere couple years ago, I thought ‘conservatives’ mostly stood for low taxes and intolerance (thank you, Rush Limbaugh!) In fact, a lot has changed for me since I joined the ‘Ron Paul Revolution’ and my desire for learning was reborn (after State education killed it.) For example:

“In previous years, I spent my ‘tax refund’ (for which I was immensely grateful to the government) on guitars, tattoos, and entertainment. This year I spent my money (which the government has the audacity to forcibly take from my paychecks) on the Ron Paul campaign, an 8-hour Constitution class, and nonfiction books.

“A year ago, I was reading Dean Koontz novels and Rolling Stone magazine; today, I’m reading Speaking of Liberty.

“A year ago, I knew naught (and cared not) about economics; now, I quote ‘Jekyll Island’ and Gary North and engage my twenty-something friends in conversations about the gold standard and sound money.

“A year ago, I was watching CNN and reading the NYT with only slight skepticism about the reliability and trustworthiness of the mainstream media; today, I know better, and I read LRC!”
