    As if anyone would bother going through his post history. As far as I can remember from what I've read of his posts, there's nothing there worth going through.

    Member when everyone was saying Trump was an agent of Hillary Clinton? Remember that?

    Piss on Tom Woods, Trump shill; he thought he understood something, and he almost did: almost.

    But now he's just a street whore for the administration.; do some more interviews with Buchanan.

    If Hillary had won, those idiots would be infesting these boards with a bunch of "told you so's"
    We now know they would have been wrong, but nothing would convince them of such, because Hillary won, therefore Trump agent of Hillary.

    Unacceptable opinion.
    Because it was not an opinion, nor was it ever an opinion. It was a straight LIE. And only Trumpo's winning would prove that to all the delusionals, that still haunt this place with "it's all WWE man, they are all in it together secretly, man".

    Bull.

    So, gold stars for him.

    The leaders of the New Bolsheviks in Congress are pushing a plan that will bankrupt me in ten years, and are actively seeking repeal of the Second Amendment.

    Look, you can call it whatever you want, selling out or what have you...I don't have any more answers, and neither do you.

    All I know is I am NOT going to align myself with the New Bolsheviks and Latter Day Jacobins that want to erase me and my posterity from the future of this nation.

    Nor am I going to look the other and pretend what's happening is not happening.

    If that makes me an idiot partisan or what have you, well, so be it I suppose...no atheists in foxholes and all that.

    See, this is exactly what I am talking about.

    Tom woods did not go from "brilliant educator and liberty advocate" to "dirty rotten whore for the establishment" simply by accepting that Trump may be doing some good.

    I occasionally listen to Tom, he is quite critical of Trump, but also as u say, sees some of the good he has done.

    That's right, he was never very clever; some of us held our breath.

I'm pleased with the tax cuts and the so-far lack of new foreign military adventures.

    That doesn't mean I'm here at RPF's to peddle an AT BEST nationalist-socialist (to be differentiated from a National Socialist, for sure) merely because I'm pleased with a couple of the crumbs that fell from his table.
    I can't answer for what those members think, I'm not peddling anybody, I'm simply making the point that there is a difference and it's somewhat delusional to think that there is not.

    This new mob are not Tip O'Neill democrats nor Bill Clinton democrats. A great many are committed and open communists.

    No, I do... I said that I couldn't necessarily say just right now... doesn't mean I couldn't say... We can continue to work from the example that Ron gave us... that he continues to give us. Yeah, I generally agree with you that Freedom ISN'T popular, but it's $#@!ing chicken-$#@! to abandon it altogether and throw in with the like of a Trump.

    $#@! man, there were some pro-liberty positions each of the presidents in our lifetime have taken, yet we weren't taken in like some around here have been by the current pimp.
    I'm not abandoning that at all. I'm simply focusing on more immediate concerns.

    Nor should you, but that doesn't necessitate throwing in with the new-boss-same-as-the-old-boss.

    Honestly, the ONLY meaningful difference is that the guy is a d-bag on Twitter and disregards the so-called dignity of the office. That's one of the few things I actually like about him by the way, but it's nowhere near enough to cause me to meaningfully support him (i.e., vote for him or advocate for him publicly).
    Again, I'm not convinced that what I am doing is "throwing in" with Trump.

    Interestingly, that phrase refers to the practice of finding true faith in higher power (for these purposes, let's refer to it as a Principle) when all other hope seems to be lost. So I'll kick that right back at you.
    Fair enough.

    Well, imagine my relief, to find out that you are overseeing the quality of libertarian punditry.

    Perhaps you could submit your curriculum vitae so that we may judge the accuracy of your opinion of Wood's cleverness.

    Start with listing your best selling works on history and economics.

    Perhaps when we'll have something to discus, you'll join me.

    ...nothing personal.

    I agree.

    For the record, my point isn't that Trump isn't doing some good. We can agree that he is... my problem is with the outright advocacy that is coming from a not small segment of this forum's membership.

    Again, I'm confident that we can dig through the last several presidencies and find instances of "some good". Yet, no one legitimately tries to argue that Obama or Bush or Clinton were overall good for the liberty movement. And NO ONE was on this forum legitimately trying to defend everything Obama or Bush did from a liberty-first perspective.

    Yet here we are with SEVERAL high-profile members (I'm not lumping you into this group, btw) going to bat, day after day, posting thread after thread doing just that on behalf of Trump...

    I do not disagree in the slightest...

    Let me put it this way... you seem to be saying that "the enemy of my enemy [Dems-cum-socialist/communists] is my friend [DJT]. I get that, as long as we understand DJT in his proper context.

    Me? I don't go in for that... for me, the enemy of my enemy is my friend if he treats me like a friend. If he treats me decent for an hour everyday, but spends the rest of the day robbing me, sending my kids off to war, restricting what I may say, etc. (you get what I'm saying), then that mother fcker is my enemy too.

    And I feel like there was a time around here before 2016 when that was just understood around here. We may each have disagreed on this-or-that, but in general we were pulling in the same direction...

    I'm not abandoning that at all. I'm simply focusing on more immediate concerns.


    Again, I'm not convinced that what I am doing is "throwing in" with Trump.
    As you said, fair enough. Trump should be understood - particularly here at RPF - as he is in reality... not as he is cast by certain members.
