"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

Read Crain Brinton's classic The anatomy of revolution. I think you will see some simliaritis to what you are saying.

Not enough people recognize this truth, even within this movement. We've got to support honest men, even if we don't agree with them ideologically. the devils are all too happy to speak exactly the language you want to hear, while the honest men stick to their principles. Ron P.aul's the only honest man running the for the presideny, and you're a disgrace if you're a part of this movement and don't support him. Study up on the facts, your ideological bull shit doesn't matter, if you don't support him another liar gets to abuse the power of the presidency for another 4 years. More wars? You obviously want them if you're not willing to support the only candidate that would end them. And by end, i don't mean stick thousands of mercenaries in the country and bill the taxpayers for it like Obama's going to do in Iraq.
