Just wanted to share this with you guys. Over the years I have spoken to literally thousands of people and have brought many over to the good side but there are some who just seem so lost and you think you wasted your time.

This happened to me about six months ago with a childhood friend who had lost everything and moved back to town. He was a hardcore self proclaimed socialist who scoffed at everything I had to say but I stood my ground and laid out everything and pointed out how his anger was misplaced and how the very system he was cheering for was responsible for our inevitable collapse. We spoke several times and each time I was shot down and I thought that I had wasted every ounce of energy and every breath that I had used in explaining all of this to someone who seemed to never get it.

About 30 minutes ago there was a knock on my door and this friend stood there and asked me if I felt up to doing something today. I asked what he had in mind and he went to his car and opened the trunk and showed me severa signs he had made with slogans of "end the fed", "legalize the constitution", "Got liberty?" and I noticed he had some pocket constitutions and even 3 copies each of "end the fed" and "revolution: a manifesto" by Dr. Paul that he planned to give to others for christmas.

I thought there was no possible way that this one would be reached but because I tried anyway he left my home as a socialist and appeared again a half year later as a warrior for the revolution.

So my friends.. NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER SHUT UP. Each one us has a much bigger impact than we could ever imagine.

Now.. wish me luck out in the cold waving these signs and handing out these constitutions with him.

That's what I've always been saying. Nobody is so firm in their beliefs that they can ignore logic forever. There is no such thing as "wasting time" on someone.

well... I about froze to death out there but the mission for today was acomplished. Pretty positive experience for his first time except for one man who cruised by the "end the fed sign" and circled around, pulled to a stop, put down his window and said: "If you guys don't love America than get out" and promptly rolled away with his "proud to be an American" bumper sticker visible for some distance. Oh well, at least he had a good laugh about it.

Amazing story.

What's up with the guy who was all upset? Is this going to be something new coming, the closer we get to winning. I bet that guy thought FED meant the government. haha

That is what I am thinking. When I say "fed" to people a lot of them assume I am talking about abolishing the entire federal government so I end up having to start over and explain what the "fed" is.

Yep. That would be funny though to see Pro-FED protestors. :D
