I liked it way too much. LOL. I agree but with a different conclusion. The empire is about to hit the reef over the Boomer retirement. Opportunity knocks and the under-35s have figured out they got picked to be the fall guys for this corrupt scheme by pols (and parents and grandparents) who just lived it up, knowing they'd be dead long before the final bills came due. We can shortly expect "generational warfare" to become the supposedly forbidden political topic and libmedia and the two major crime families in the District will certainly try to make it stick. Some of these faint hearts now deserting the Liberty cause in a huff will wish they hadn't abandoned the cause just as we approach greatly expanded opportunity. You see, you really can cut government when you are dead-ass broke. In addition: we have seen key blocs in the Senate that were established to pursue particular objectives. The Gang of Fourteen, the Gang of Six, etc. Well, you cook up a coalition of senators like Coburn, DeMint, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, Pat Toomey, and you add a few more like our very fine RP-endorsed candidate for MN senate, Kurt Bills (and an amazingly attractive candidate and excellent speaker) and then you add Ted Cruz of Texas to that coalition. And you might pick up a few more, like the Fischer woman from Nebraska. That starts to look like a segment of the GOP that can control everything that moves through the U.S. Senate and every confirmation hearing, regardless of who is president or what some worthless old RINO like McConnell tries to pull. But, of course, some people would rather scream "Betrayal" and take their marbles and go home. Well, good riddance.
You can choose to vote how you wish regardless of what Rand says. Just let Rand make his (largely meaningless) little endorsement. Given he stated his first choice was his dad no matter what, it isn't exactly the most passionate endorsement.
You're delusional if you think things will change for the better just because some slick talking guy in a suit TELLS you "just wait till X Y and Z" happens 10 years from now. It might be a comfortable wet dream for some, but not for me. Good luck on your fantasy world though, I'm sure it'll work out just as you expect... /sarc This thread needs a theme song........ " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
Thanks - you know that I love that song and story.

If they're the rational ones, I'm glad I'm nuttier than a fruitcake. Being rational doesn't mean wishing for a easy, painless cure, It means seeing what's ahead in the real world. What's ahead is pain for those still holding on to their precious little systems. They either wake the fuck up or suffer the consequences. I think they'll suffer though. NOt too many want to give up their little political / religious delusions. That would be too painful... most don't have the balls to wake up. They think they'll end up with nothing if they give up the current systems. But what do they have now, WITH their current systems? Slavery. ------------------------------------------ Whenever there's resistance, examine your motivation. Whenever there's flow, consider taking action.
I jacked-up the volume and it was sing-along time. Now to feed the poochies. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Good luck with honing your obvious talents as a born loser. BTW, did you somehow think that Ron Paul would, alone, win the presidency, transform the country, then live forever to keep things nice and tidy for you? Do you even understand the political parties have farm teams, just like sports does? Some people have some very unrealistic ideas about politics. Which is why they always lose and then quit, muttering that the system is rigged. I've seen it more times than I can count.
In the American Revolution, the enemy's home was across an ocean, and they had to sail across that ocean on wooden ships to get here, aside from those who were already here. Back then, weaponry consisted of muskets, cannons firing steel shot a short distance, and swords. What do you really think would happen in an allout revolution these days here in the US? I don't consider kissing the ass of my enemy and allowing him to dictate my future, "winning". You best feed the pooches, Pilgrim. : ) lol.....I don't like tricks Pilgrim. I need to watch that one again, great lines in that one. " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
He would have certainly had a profound impact on this country. He could have appointed HONEST people with INTEGRITY into critical positions, such as Attorney General, FDA Commissioner, Secretary of Defense, Director of Central Intelligence, and various other cabinet level positions. These individuals could have cleaned house and gutted out corruption, fraud, and high level treason, with the full backing and support of the White House. So yeah, it could have changed the whole game. I no longer see a revolution. At least in the shooting sense of the word. I used to think so, but not anymore. I see the current systems collapsing under their own weight. What they are trying to do is violate natural law. It's like violating gravity. You can overcome gravity for only so long before you crash (I don't see a soft landing, because that implies control, when they have no control). That's not to say that people won't go batshit insane, but that is not a revolution. That's just chaos. I don't know how people will react. I'm pretty sure I know how the subhumans will react. Deep down, all humans know how the apes will react. ------------------------------------------ Whenever there's resistance, examine your motivation. Whenever there's flow, consider taking action.
ALmost there.. what is that old saying? It's a governments job to pretend to fail??? Problem reaction solution. THe choas will beg for order and that order will suck.. Well, perhaps a few of my words were rash. No one is saying that you have to vote for Romney. Including Rand Paul. You own your vote. The Liberty movement, if it is a movement, has to survive Ron Paul's retirement. He's 77 now or close to it. And we do have other good candidates. Kurt Bills is awesome, check out his videos. Man, can he talk.
It's been said here before, but I too believe that the ultimate, big-time loser in this stupendous CF will be rand paul. What an absolute moron he's become. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson That's a new one to me. But I disagree with that saying. You're saying "fail". What is their definition of "success"? Their "job" is to rule. In order to succeed at that, they boxed themselves into a corner. It is their own successes that did it to them, not their failures. They are so screwed. If we can outlast them, we will have won. And we will outlast them, because to do so requires cooperation, which only we are capable of. Psychopaths do not play well together. ------------------------------------------ Whenever there's resistance, examine your motivation. Whenever there's flow, consider taking action.
What an absolute moron he's become. The reactions I've seen here are starting to make me think that Rand could possibly succeed with a bit of luck on a scale that Ron never dreamed of. By all means, condemn and reject Rand. Be my guest.
By their I should think we are speaking of economic / political factions that are our fearless leaders in this shitty nation..Our government yuck. Success to people like that is convincing you, me, and the masses to go along with it all as easily as they can will it. They want us to go along with the play of hard dull work, justice preveils, shop wal mart consumer citizen tax payer. Kinda like isreal there haveing the egyptions digging their own grave so to does our nations' leaders, corporate whores that they are, lead its own citizens to dig their own graves... both metaphorically and literally. Ah yes. The pub party will end up owing both.
Ron's campaign was suspended and he had admitted he could not expect the delegates needed to become the nominee. Those are the facts. You seem to be in denial about it. Reporting a conservative-estimate of the number of delegates that he's expecting in Tampa to "Stand up for what we believe in" -- an estimate below the nomination threshold -- doesn't equate to suspending his campaign or all that he can possibly expect to support him there as unbound free agents. Ron Paul: The Revolution Continues - June 6, 2012 ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
Apparently, only the diehard Paul supporters believe the delegates are unbound. But it is something of a truism. Even electoral college delegates are, legally, unbound. That doesn't mean they go off to the EC and suddenly start overturning election results in their states. It appears that most the delegates do feel bound. In some states, they are directly bound as a matter of state law. In WV on May 8, they had proportional delegates with 22 for Romney, 2 for Santorum, 4 unbound, all directly elected GOP delegates. In NJ on June 5, they had winner-take-all of 50 delegates, all directly elected by voters. I sometimes suspect some of you aren't actually Ron Paul supporters because the ones that I know already are aware of the differences in state parties, elections, delegates, etc. 4um has a lot of opinions about Ron Paul but they rarely exhibit the kind of knowledge I expect to see among the hardcore Ron Paul cadre. And this persists, despite the fact that Obama clearly stole the 2008 nomination from Hitlery because he displayed a deep strategy for capturing every unbound delegate that wasn't nailed down.
good posts, both of you. you make some very astute points. there's one point that i think you're missing here and, that is, that many of us are disappointed again in what we see as a lack of honesty here not that we expected Ron Paul to be our saviour. i think all of us on 4um are more realistic than that. this is a repeat of 2008 when Ron Paul pulled out just before the Texas primary. we were led to believe that he had a delegate strategy. now with this, he's pulled the rug out from under all those who worked to become delegates and who planned to cast a vote for him at the convention. he pulled up short again and i am certain that that it was not a sudden decision. imo, he and Rand both owe his many, many supporters an immediate explanation. and one more thing...how is it after all the criticism of Romney heretofore can the Pauls suddenly do a 180 and endorse him (assuming Ron plans to also)? that to me is an abandonment of his principles.
The pub party will end up owing both. Please continue your excellent work as an ex-supporter of Ron Paul.
Agreed. So, how to stop them? Don't go along with them. Don't feed the animals. People hate what they are forced to do. But they hate the idea of cutting the cords even more. Freedom scares the crap out of most people. That's just one reason why I don't depend on them. It's not enough to be against the enemy. People have to be FOR something. Anyone that is against what's happening but doesn't create their own alternative is still under their power, because the focus is still only on the psychopaths. ------------------------------------------ Whenever there's resistance, examine your motivation. Whenever there's flow, consider taking action.
Do you honestly think that endorsements ever sway that many votes? The political pros say it can never help more than a few percent. At most. Even picking a VP from a state is assumed to never help more than 5% in that state. If it's a popular regional figure, like Christie for instance, you might pick up a point or two in bordering states. And that's the best you can hope for with a veep. Now what is the endorsement of the junior senator of 2 years worth to Romney. You really aren't reading the Tea leaves correctly.
Don't be led. People should be their own leader. That's how I see it. People are responsible for their own interests. People give their personal power over to others so they can be led. I;m just as guilty as anyone else in that I too was supportive of Paul, because I (mistakenly) believed he was our last hope to turn things around. But the way I see it now, things can't be turned around, and it doesn't matter who wins a (s)election. Not to get anyone to think that I like falling on my sword... but I made the mistake of believing that the answers were outside of me, not inside. These rat bastards are masters at getting people to think only of the external. They are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing. It has kept them in power because it keeps the citizens focused on what the psychopaths are doing instead of what the self is doing. We could end this in a week, if a majoelrity told these monsters to drop dead, and meant it. But people being people, it might take a little more time than that. and one more thing...how is it after all the criticism of Romney heretofore can the Pauls suddenly do a 180 and endorse him (assuming Ron plans to also)? that to me is an abandonment of his principles. I don't believe he had any principles in the first place. He did it because it benefits him, not his constituents. ------------------------------------------ Whenever there's resistance, examine your motivation. Whenever there's flow, consider taking action.
Oh yeah, I know that. As I have told people, probably some on here, there might be a bond issue or something like that on the ballot to vote against. Otherwise the trip to the polls is probably a waste of time and gas. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

Vance Você me trata desse jeito só porque eu sou preto. Junior (my youngest son)
If you don't vote, you don't have a right to complain. LOL. It's a stupid saying here locally that these sheeplike idiots bleat at every occasion, as though repetition makes it true. I think it's stupid and un-American to suggest any citizen can lose his rights to free speech because of how he chose to exercise his voting franchise. And I always explain this carefully. For some reason, I still don't get invited to nice cocktail parties.
Yes. But the Senate is all about being an insider, amassing power and favors so you can do more (in Rand's case, less) for all the party's constituents. It's easy to criticize Rand but you don't have all that many examples of American government shrinking. It's grown like a cancer rather steadily except for a few brief contractions following major wars or banking failures or the business cycle downturns. Certainly, other than Truman's sharp cutback of government after WW II, there are few examples of American government shrinking at all in the modern era, since WW I.
And this persists, despite the fact that Obama clearly stole the 2008 nomination from Hitlery because he displayed a deep strategy for capturing every unbound delegate that wasn't nailed down.

uh huh. And to those who would tell me that (and I know that you weren't saying it, just that others do) I would say, what is it that I am supposed to be voting for? A black man who is a proven liar, who has spent other people's money like it belonged to him or a white man who will do the very same thing? Tweddledumb and Tweedledumber are not worth voting for, they are both traitors and warmongers. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

You knew I was a snake (politician) when you took me in ! (And a FED to boot). "The few who understand the [FEDERAL RESERVE] system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.
If we don't fight them Over There, we're going to have to fight them here. Who are "they"? What do they want? Why are my tax dollars being squandered to bring 'them' here to fight me?

When you're talking about Romney, you're talking about a ruthless ingrate -- a corporate raider who tookover the company of his Bain-benefactor (who had started him in business and financed him), and then fired the man as the reward for his favors. What do you suppose it's worth to Romney to devastate the Ron Paul movement's morale and cohesion through his junior senator son? What do you suppose Rand Paul thinks it was worth to his own career plans to kick his father's movement to the curb as he joined up with Romney's antithetical clique? ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
Okay. I surrender to your awesome barrage of annoying cliches. Funning aside, I do get your point.
You better, I got stacks and stacks of People Magazines just sitting here looking at you accusingly!

Well, Rand only endorsed him. He didn't say he'd actually vote for him. Maybe Romney convinced him. The truth is that Romney may have entered politics in a completely unprincipled way, determined to outliberal the libs of Massachusetts, no matter what. He spent a small fortune in a completely hopeless race against Kennedy in the mid-Nineties. Romney's record was not all liberal either. More an efficiency nut but nowhere near as good at it as Mitch Daniels was in Indiana. This is basically bean-counting, job performance and organizational metrics, boring business school stuff. Romney wasn't too bad, Daniels was brilliant. People forget, whatever government we do agree to have should be a quality organization with proper internal performance controls. Anyway, we know that Mittster was lying then (to Massachusetts) or he's lying now (to the rest of us). And we know he's aware of how the GOP turned on his dad for saying we were "brainwashed" over Vietnam (I'd bet money that no lib reporter, however tricky, could ever get Mittster to utter the word "brainwash"). And Ford got primaried from the Right by Reagan who came within a hundred delegates of beating Ford who was still weakened enough to lose to Carter. And he noticed that Bush Senior got primaried from the Right (Buchanan) and then lost for betraying his No New Taxes pledge. So Mittster probably is just as willing to kowtow to us as he was to kowtow to libs. Unless he thinks he can flip us all to liberals (something most of his fellow-Mormons really oppose) and risk us dumping him. And the one Republican most likely to challenge him from the Right in 2016 (almost guaranteed to defeat him for the nomination or the general election) is probably Rand Paul.
They are who I tell you they are. And they want to kill your family in front of you, then gang rape you daughter, then kill her and arrange the weapons to make it seem they were attacking you. OOOPS - me bad - That was some elements of the United States Army in Iraq. Of course, I should have waited for White Rabbit to peak.
