First of all, we need people not named Ron Paul to show the same courage he has shown on these particular issues and start talking about them openly (I'm not talking about his End the Fed stuff or cutting social programs, see the topic title).  We need people from across "party lines," and those who are unaffiliated with any of the stupid American political parties to SPEAK UP!  

Sadly there are almost no GOPers besides Dr. Paul who share his opposition to war (even less now that Gary Johnson is running as a Libertarian).  And the Dems outside of Kucinich have gone silent, or those like Hillary and Obama are affirmatively supporting it.  Barack only took the troops out of Iraq cause he couldn't get them immunity.  I voted for him to end the war within a year and he BROKE his promises.  

We need more antiwar, anti-prohibition, and pro-civil liberties voices out there in the "mainstream."  

 

 
Again, these people are not considered mainstream. The "mainstream" has made pretty sure that most people think that these people are wackos. Look how Occupy is represented.

Burners are the most awesome people, they have brilliant ideas they know how to make things happen, they are extremely creative, non-materialistic, etc., but no one in the government would even consider what they have to say.

This is not about having pipe dreams.  This is about doing what is necessary to prevent the United States' civilization from destroying itself and taking many others down with it.  

 
Too late.

And how do you propose to gain a consensus on this matter?

The problem is that Those in Power With the Money do not agree with you.

The first thing we have to do is to stop allowing Money to be God. The rest will follow.

Talk about being a dreamer...
