Wife has baby; husband goes to Ron Paul Rally!

[Matt Collins]

YEAH! You read it right!

I had not planned to send out any more e-mails encouraging people to get themselves to Minnesota for "Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic" but a post on the Nashville Meetup site recently prompted me to send out this e-mail.


It beats all I've ever seen but here is the post from a husband and new father:






"My wife had our baby last week and I'm thinking about getting up there [to the Ron Paul Rally] and back since I just read this inspiring email by some dude from Nashville paying off his student debts.

Is there anyone carpooling who has a seat left? I'm just putting out feelers. Haven't even talked to the wife yet. I think she'll be supportive. We've both been disgusted by the poilitcal theater this election. Everything is so planned and staged. It's like living in a Vonnegut story.

Thanks so much for the work you. I look forward to hearing from you."


*SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!!


A new father and husband is willing to give up 3 days with his newborn and wife in order to attend the "Rally for the Republic with Ron Paul"!!! :eek: This is amazing to me. Each one of you now need to ask yourself this question: "If people are making sacrifices like this, what is my excuse for not attending?"


Everyone that is going to the Rally is making some sort of sacrifice to get there. This could be the single most important political event in our nation's history in decades. I guarantee you that many generations into the future fiscal conservatives, civil libertarians, historians, scholars, freedom lovers, and policy makers will be discussing the event in Minneapolis next week. In fact the honest truth of it is that depending on the actions that result from the "Rally for the Republic", the historical significance of the event will probably outlive the historical significance of the GOP Convention just a few miles away in (ironically enough) St. Paul, MN.


So will you be making history with us?

*I just hope the kid's name contains either "Ron" or "Paul" (unless of course it's a girl) [:p]

What kind of sacrifice is that? Getting away form a screaming baby for a few days would probably be his idea of heaven right now. It's no sacrifice at all, it sounds a bit self-centered to me.

You don't have a wife and kid do you :[.

I had a teacher who encouraged us to stay after so he didn't have to go home to his wife and kid... He offered us extra credit and candy, no joke.

He's doing it for his child's future.

Hell, at this point (I'm 26) I'm just hoping for an opportunity to create a child :p

Let's hope the government doesn't decide to start regulating procreation too.
We are getting closer to 1984 everyday.

I could argue with this, but I won't. :)

If it happens, it will be dependent on IQ... and everybody here would be much too smart to be allowed to procreate.

The power elite (http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Book_Excerpts/PowerElite.html) need a managable working class.

The prussians were the first to document a public education program designed to make a managable working class.

[Matt Collins]

Let's hope the government doesn't decide to start regulating procreation too."I propose a captive breeding program.... this new breeding race much like the arms race will depend on selecting females of the utmost features. And for efficiency each male will have to breed with many females in hopes that we can outbreed the enemy. Otherwise the terrorists/communists/socialists/Mormons win"

I have this innate ability to highjack threads. I don't intend to do it.. i just see connecting points.. and I am compelled to comment on them.

You don't have a wife and kid do you :[.

You don't have a wife and kid do you... I for one think it is self-centured... because leaving a immobile wife and screaming baby is anything but sacrafice. He must have one COOL wife to get away with that.

[libertarian4321]

I'd choose the Rally for the Republic over a screaming and crying baby any day.

The kid will still be screaming and crying when he gets back- he won't miss anything.

Nope, no wife and kid! You caught me.

I suppose you are right. It does seem a bit self-centered. Leaving the wife at home after she just pushed a....well, you've all seen the miracle of life video, and going to an event you can probably see online.

i could of went, but I chose my first day of college instead ;). i dont want to start off at the wrong foot with my professors! its reverse sacrifice. im sacrificing an event for education, it's horrible I know.

Make sure you wake some people up on your first day. Compensation; instead of preaching to the choir ;)

Why leave the wife and baby at home? Our latest arrival will be just over 4 weeks old when our family attends the rally. We have 8 children who are all very excited to attend this rally. :D

Exactly! LOL - I remember being him! He'll understand one day.

Yes, but if it is only the first or second baby, it can be disruptive. I am guessing once you're up to 8 or so, you hardly break stride.

I'm not really squeamish about germs and dirt. (We have 2 dogs - dirt lives here too.) But if I had a new baby, I'd be using those new Mom hormones to fret about exposing that new immune system to germs. With the number of anti-vaccine members of the movement, it might not be a bad idea to avoid exposing a newborn to an environment that could be ripe for a measles, mumps or rubella outbreak.

I understand the new-to-baby mindset. Life is quite a bit different with a larger family. We tend to bring baby right into the family fold and continue with life.
If she is breast-feeding then the baby is already well protected from disease. We don't vaccinate our children and they tend to be much healthier than the populous. Although we have a great relationship with our family doctor, we rarely go because we simply don't need a doctor that often.
I'm not trying to tell this guy what to do, just encouraging folks to think outside "the box". We must start training the younger generations to stand-up for liberty and freedom at a very early age if we want any hope of getting our country back.
IMHO The best way to do that is through the family.

I totally hear you! I am seriously considering homeschool, only because it is freaking me out to see my kids being forced to present their papers just to enter school. It doesn't matter that the records are being transferred from another school system - the State needs to review the originals.

We're a pretty healthy bunch too, with me being the exception. So far (knock on wood) the only reason my kids have been to the doctor is just so they'll have a doctor, and to get antibiotics once for a round of strep throat. Oh yeah, a physical for sports.

Home schooling is probably our last hope for a freethinking society. We have been home schooling for 8 years and intend to complete high school with each of our children. It has been a wonderful blessing to watch our children hold our values and use our thought processes. It will cost your time and money, but I can't think of a better investment for the future of your family and our country.

She doesn't KNOW yet!

I have a 3 month old (my first), and I am sad to be away for three days also. She tugs at my heart strings every day. :-)

Becoming a father is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
