Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.
What others do pales beside what YOU do.
Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

I come here because the computer is in the room I smoke weed in.
Visiting RPF here makes me dream in equal opportunity living color, though there isn't much cyan most of the time.
Could just be the nighttime lighting and all that teal.
This might help mix things up.

How long before "going liberal" replaces "going postal"?
I think Trump has the best chance at beating Hillary of the GOP candidates left in the race, Romney or Paul Ryan. CPUd will show you stats that indicate otherwise, but that is not the election that is what people currently think based on their current emotions and what they know now. Not that I support Trump, I won't vote for him, I just really hate all the other candidates immensely.

I'm pretty sure the forum is here to make America great again!
HMmm
This land is wondrous,, beyond osan's eloquence. and the people are pretty cool when you get to know them.. Coast to coast and all in between.
The government sucks,, but folks are realizing that.
I don't want to make America Great again. I just hope good people will protect each other.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

It's all about Freedom
The idea that nothing good is accomplished here and we might as well give up because everything is hopeless -- that is something that needs to be thoroughly refuted. I know you are a very negative person who believes that kind of stuff though, hence your irritation with a post that goes against the hopeless narrative you wish to spread. I do not wish to see that narrative spread on the other hand, because it is counterproductive, counterfactual, and $#@!s on the hard work of a lot of great people.
What you appear to be saying is that you would prefer to exist on your knees, subject to the will and caprice of another man than to fight even in the face of virtually certain destruction.
You are entitled to that view, but I do not share it. What are some of those "countless possibilities" to which you refer? They would seem all to be those that might be imposed upon you by your master. They might even be pleasant, but so what of it when they are the product of another's will, imposed upon you regardless whether you want it? It appears you prefer the gilt cage, which is the greatly prevailing fashion of the Meaner. I have no objection with your choice, but because I have no interest in it at all, it offends me that others would require my dancing to a tune and having to pay for it. It is an offense in the truest sense of the word.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
The reason this forum is still here is because many of us have been blogging together for several years about many things not just Ron Paul. We fight like cats and dogs, share information, console one another, and have our safe cyber space to come hang out with our cyber family. I hope Ron Paul forums stays around for years to come.

What else in your life has purpose for existing anymore?
Bryan has taken on the forum and is going to try and give it a new identity and purpose. Im really excited to see how things progress
Bryan should have paid more attention to all of those Sola_Fide discussions.
Bryan is trying to do something even God knew was impossible. Bryan is trying to create a set of rules which is devoid of loopholes, which encapsulate, preserve, protect and defend the spirit of the law through the letter of the law.
It's a fool's game that even Jesus did not attempt. Jesus told parables, and let those with eyes to see and ears to hear get the message. Jesus openly flouted the letter of the law in order to elevate the spirit of the law above it.
Now you have what amounts to a distraction going on during the election season, like the Marquis de Quensbury Rules being rewritten during the heavyweight title bout. How is the activism to work around that?
I remember when this forum had purpose. It's purpose was not to give each individual free speech no matter how disruptive it was. It's purpose was to give ideas counter to the mainstream agenda an outlet where this particular bit of free speech could be heard above the fifty billion watts if paid speech blaring out of every media outlet.
Just look at the new posts board now. Have fun hanging around just another mainstream echo chamber, people...
If that's your view, then violence might be the answer for you. Why change the system from the inside, acting like you're engaged in some hot battle when all you're really doing is negotiating? If you want to have the freedom to live your life to the fullest, then stop paying attention to every little infraction and just go out there and live your life to the fullest. Crying and whining and trying to change things from the inside are pointless. If you really want to not be candy-ass, as it were, then go overthrow the goddamn government. Fight back against the police. Be a rebel for real. If all you're really doing is talking, then you're no less candy-ass than I am for no longer trying to negotiate the system in hopes of somehow making things a little better in your lifetime, if that were ever possible. For now, I'm living my life to quite a full extent out of the grasp of the American government and although the land I'm in now is also somewhat oppressive, I find it easier to stomach since I'm not brave enough to start a violent revolution, and I doubt you are either.

You calling my narrative hopeless is like calling Ron Paul an isolationist. I'm one of the most hopeful people on this forum because I believe there is still hope to live your life fully without spending your time and resources trying to change the system from the inside. The people who blindly cling to a cause as if it's the only thing in life worth fighting for are the hopeless ones. Only once you stop acting like changing the government is the only way to make a better future can you truly ACT to make a better future for yourself by plunging into the market of ideas, coming up with new and creative ways to help people who need it, providing a service, making connections, and doing what you want with your life. The ones who act like they can only live freely by changing the system are the ones who are truly on their knees. There are other ways to fight the system beside the ballot box, like giving people something they want so much that they are willing to fight the system with you just to get whatever it is you are giving them. Either that, or take over the damn capitol. My narrative is not hopeless, it's enlightening and truly freeing, a new attitude that helps you see the world not as a series of ballot boxes, but an endless sea of opportunities that have nothing to do with elections or politics or voting. That's all pointless. Life is still out there to live if you're willing to face the reality and go seek it even against the odds. That's truly the only way to not be candy-ass. Make a life and fight for that life. Don't fight for the system.
