I have turned everyone around me into a "radical"

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

The last 24 hours have shown me that years of not shutting up are really getting to some of the last people I would imagine it would get to.

The brother in law of one of my best friends has been calling me a lunatic since 2007 and has mocked Ron without mercy anytime he is around me. He contacted me last night and I could tell in his voice that something was not right. After a few minutes he confessed that he started looking more into Ron and that he is ashamed for not taking this all seriously before now. This guy is a very big name in my county and owns numerous trailer park properties (one with over 500 trailers). He wants to come by this afternoon to discuss how to make banners and put them up on all of his properties.

A real sweetheart of a guy who I have known for several years had to go to the hospital last night. He has MS and has been a major proponent of government health care, He is in his late 50's and has been a Pastor for many years and was notorious for his Obama love in this area. I was told by his Wife this morning that he wanted to go home last night and a nurse said she would restrain him. At that point he apparently blew up and said "This is not a FEMA camp" along with "Have you being taking information from the government on how to violate my Constitutional rights?" She said that after he calmed down he started Ron Paul'ing the ER docs.

I don't know what is going on here folks but people are waking up in record numbers and even people we once considered lost are suddenly getting it. A major awakening is happening and people who we have been talking to for years are now going to be coming to us for answers and help. Make sure you welcome them with open arms and lead the way in your community. Be the voice of liberty for those you know. No matter what, never ever stop because we are making progress.

Wow! I am thrilled for you and your success. Sometimes a person must come face to face with liberal socialist regressive policies and big government before the truth smacks them in the face.

BTW, what has happened is an ideological radical socialist of the sixties era had to become president in order to show the people just what "progressivism" will mean for them and our Constitution.


With McCain, Bush, etc. it would always be creeping and more incremental progressivism (regressivism); but with Oblahma, it has been on a bullet train.

You need to change your thread title.

You are not changing everyone into a radical. You are changing them into Americans.

[69360]

The neocons are the radicals. We are normal peace and freedom loving Americans.

[netwalker]

Put "radical" in quotation marks... because radical is about the furthest thing from what you have described.

[Xenophage]

"Radical" is a perfectly apt word to describe us, if you understand what it really means.

To be a radical is to get at the root of something; to deal with an issue in a substantive, rather than cursory, manner. Radicalism has been turned into a nasty smear, probably because radical thinkers are dangerous to people in power, but I wear it as a badge of honor. Look up the dictionary definition.

Awesome job.

Side Note: In the book Millionaire Next Door, written by two PHDs. Trailer park owner is statistically the number one occupation of self made millionaires in the U.S. Granted they are a small group but this is a book written by scientist. The car most owned by self made millionaires in the U.S. is a used F-150.

It's always been my dream to be a slumlord. Now I have a reason to make this dream a reality! Thanks!

BTW, I'm not at all joking.

Money magazine said it was self employed auctioneer a few years ago. No matter what it is, the moral of the story is being self employed is awesome.

Thanks for sharing these successes. I am finding the same thing happening.

This is more evidence for why I'm not all that worried about totalitarianism's creep. Not even up here where public health care is embraced like a toddler's security blankie.

We are operating with the correct theories of action and reaction - human incentives that create outcomes. Even if people disbelieve us now, they will be confronted with a ceaseless stream of evidence that directly contradicts what they believe will happen under statist control - and corroborates what we think will happen. Cognitive dissonance and a host of other psychological biases can fight this for a time, but not forever. People do change their minds, albeit slowly.

THis is a cool story but why did a mod think it was a good idea to front page a story about turning people into radicals? Especially right before debate/moneybomb?

Well I only used "radical" because both of these people had called me a "radical" in the past. If there is a problem with that word than the mods can change it in the title without any complaint from me.

Just like Ron said at the end of the last debate, never give up on your opponents because they'll come your way.

No. Go cry me a river.

Ron Paul is a radical. This guys a radical. If you're an abolitionist, you're a radical. Do you want to END the FED, Abolish the IRS, Dept. OF Commerce, Dept. of Education, CIA, FBI etc. etc. JUST like Ron Paul?

Well then you're a radical.

“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.”
― H.L. Mencken

“The pattern repeats itself so often that it almost seems to be a law of history: the radicals who change history must do so over the resistance of the moderates, who claim to be friendly to the same cause, but somehow always end up on the side of established interests.”
― Lew Rockwell

Does the country need RADICAL change or not?

[dfalken]

Well my mother in law who voted for McCain last time is now an ardent Ron Paul supporter and so is my brother in law (he already was leaning towards Paul last time, but his parents' neocon ways were holding him back). Now the day my FOX News addicted father in law siupports Ron Paul I'll know we've won for sure. And I wouldn't be surprised if he is almost there.

It's hard not to get choked up reading your story Joe.
