It is good to reference sources, and promote them if/when they are viable solutions which lead to "individual" freedom. But you must also consider that no matter how good a congressman may be, he/she is still a member of government.Quote:

So Rand and Massie don't support the sites mission? Gotcha.Quote:

You don't speak for these forums. And you do not speak for Ron Paul.Quote:

Telling people, especially long established members that they don't belong here is not going to change any minds either.Quote:

I am expressing/voicing liberty-oriented positions, and get my ass followed and chewed on, while you allow comments promoting biometric-tracking-for-life, shoot-on-sight, etc. to slide right on by.
What's your beef, @Brian4Liberty?
Edit to say:
All candidates that I vet have a lifetime score well below a 90% threshold, typically in the 50-60 percentile. If you want to see what "good" they have done, I have provided links to the Index Scores in each of the candidates OP thread for your own review.
Furthermore, even though I do not vote at the state/federal level, I have given Rand Paul a Green Asterisk, noting on his On the Record Sheet that he maintains a 100% Constitutional Voting Record.
The idea is to get the neocons out-of-office. That is how you do it.

I take several issues:
She has had "a lot of encounters with convicted rapists" on the property and "aggravated kidnapping" picked up on her property. If they were convicted, why are they not in prison?
She was "actually chased" from the brush into her home, but then later says she "can't see" who's in the brush?
She is "armed", but never fired a single shot to protect her, her family or private property?
How is this my problem? More Feds? More of MY tax money, from how many states away?
If somebody came onto MY private property, and/or threatened MY family, and I was ARMED, you best be assured I would not be on the news asking for more government "help" and on your dime.
What, the Great State of Texas is turning "gee, I don't know what I am transgender", and asking for more government handouts themselves?
That point where philosophy meets reality. Alternatively, that point where logic meets humanity.Quote:

Simple solution to a complex problem.
Another positive to secession:Quote:

Are you certain that you want to secede, Phil, knowing that Fed.gov won't be there for you? I for one am all for it.
You do realize that the reason it's like that is because the border isn't open, right?Quote:
