- RonPaulForums.com is an independent grassroots outfit not officially connected to Ron Paul but dedicated to his mission. For more information see our Mission Statement.
“But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.”
― Ron Paul

Yes, the events there are exactly as described.
I was helping to get a liberty candidate elected to overthrow the TN House finance chair (we came within 2% of electoral victory which I'm quite proud of) and his campaign manager in the video kept trying to figure out who I was and was stalking me around the parking lot. She was trying to get my license place number so she could find out more about me.
When I figured out what she was up to I called her out on it and then evaded her.
Allegedly she got fired after I posted this video because of her actions, I was bringing too much attention to her and her husband's activities.

I did not have any involvement in Kokesh's campaign which was completely mismanaged with significant amounts of money wasted. Not to mention he was running a district that was not viable.
Yeah because he was a threat to security after acting like a violent nutcase.

Uh no.... I did not talk Rand into running, but he did call me at the very beginning asking for my help. Thomas and I also spoke about his election to the County Judge Executive position and how liberty can be done on the local level. And yes I played a very large part in winning Minnesota for Ron in 2012, but so did a few others such as Marianne.

This twitter account? https://twitter.com/LibertyMatt Doesn't look too anonymous to me.Originally Posted by Matt Collins
...to be a little kind to teh Collinz, taking credit for other people's hard work is a long-standing American Political Tradition. (i.e. claiming to win WWII) In that regard, teh Collinz is a Great American(TM).
it has been confirmed that you do not vote. (it is an act of violence and beneath you. )Quote Originally Posted by heavenlyboy34 View Post

you have also stated that we live in a "Democratic-Republic"
and yet, you take a drive by swipe at Matt Collins...

Incoherent thought process is incoherent. ROTFLOL Seems to be a practice in the literary craft/art of fire11. But, do as you wish. ~hugs~ Thank you for entertaining me.
(yes, I have you on ignore, but sometimes I can't resist reading some of your dim-witted dreck for lolz ~hugs~)
We can't be a legitimate political movement until we acquire hacks and opportunists.
Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.
Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.

That really happened?
I see people post this all of the time and I'd only recently looked it up a year or so ago and as I read the urban definition of this I sat back in my chair and said to myself "Son of a bitch!...I wonder if they were really rolling on the floor laughing out loud before jumping back on the keyboard". That would be the weirdest thing. You know?
Irrelevant to the thread, I know, but your use of the internet slang made me remember the day that I actually looked that term up. Ah well...carry on...
reading the delete page is interesting too.
- Delete page was created by Matt Collins himself. The username Intact Molls is an anagram of his name... -=Eduardo=- (talk) 03:14, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
lol intact molls. really matt?

I think Matt's a good guy. He might of changed a lot since the good ol days, but I know he is well connected and I wouldn't necessarily write his views off. I may not be a great judge in character, and I know politics changes people, but I'd encourage folks to get to know him before passing too much judgement.
I know there are people in this thread other than my self who have had convos with him, but I did want to give folks an idea to see this political character in one of his more human moments.
Matt, here's hoping misses right will have a chance to check you out

It was a great time Matt. You introduced me to Richard A Hamblen, the balding guy from fringe lol. Had a great interview with him, which really taught me a lot about fighting battles in the court system and really got me set straight back then on a solid foundation for understanding rights and how rights are constantly being tormented in the courts.
I don't know anything about the debate here, but I enjoyed watching this just now. Seemed like three well informed gentlemen with a very positive agenda:

All of the Collins controversy lately has me picturing Mr. Collins from Pride and Prejudice every time I see the name.
Not to get too off track, but perhaps Mr. Collins is to Lady Catherine de Bourgh as Matt Collins is to Jesse Benton?
