amazing...amazing. In the face of political party fan-boys like Bill Maher saying, ""I’m okay with it now that Obama’s in office”; we have Ron Paul in 1984 foretelling the future and slamming his own party at the same time. Praise Jebus.

Book purchased. Thanks.

If the country is forced to learn the lessons we've been trying to teach them, then yes; that will help....but what impact on our lives did us being correct about the housing bubble get us? Nothing. More of the same. This is not just about electoral victories, this is about real impactful...

I agree with this sentiment. Rand Paul will be labeled a racist and it will stick. He will also be labeled as a foreign policy nut. The Repubs, Dems AND the MSM will suffocate the success. There is too much for the 2-party system, the welfare state and the MIC to lose to ever give us a fair...

Grass roots organizing is tough. Ultimately, it takes our movement's grassroots and grass-tops to get things like this moving. Right now our grastops are primarily press figures such as Napalitano/Gilepsie/Schiff/Stossel/Ron Paul/etc working with our few elected officials who do the work in...

Audit the Fed. Right. Of course we all like that, but it's flaws are: (1) it's a step strategy. The thinking is that if you audit--->public support/outrage---->repeal the Act. It's a very long road. (2) it's more helpful for building general awareness than having a real impact (3) it's...

The Rand strategy is an electoral strategy and of course it has significant merit. But I think its flaw is a fatal one. He will not do better in the primaries than Ron did in '12 because Republicans views on foreign policy are not moving at all and won't move anytime soon. Repubs agree with...

Electoral success, local or national....is highly unlikely. The co-opting of the Tea Party from its Santelli-Ron Paul roots into some kind of social-conservative-group was engineered equally and with cooperation by Republicans and Democrats for their mutual benefit and it is the only example we...

oh, so much for the full hour. AB coverage

Right, the label will be new. Clearly...we have the most old-fashioned ideas, yet we're viewed as complete paradigm-shifters because this R vs D paradigm we're now in has not changed since the mid to late 60's.

But why do we care if it's Rand or Johnson or someone new? Isnt this about the ideas more than anything else? I'm pre-disposed to root against Rand versus others that can espouse the ideas equally because (1) I dont like family dynasties, (2) the movement will become too closely associated...

Sorry all that we're drifting off-topic here... I think it's important that we make real gains from this campaign on a national level; even within the R party (though it would be nice to a see a D-iteration of the movement evolve). That is what the vote is for as much as anything else. The...

Got it, thanks. So that statement I made that you bolded requires revision. It probably should start with something like, "If it's apples-to-apples in terms of organization & the ability to promote the movement, then I admit I'd still vote for Paul..."

If the choice is Paul or Johnson, I lean to Johnson on ideas because of abortion. But I admit I'd still vote for Paul because of the not-so-good-reason that "everyone else is doing it". Clearly, this campaign is Paul's swan-song, he has the $ & support, and if he pulls more than 10% of the...

this needs to go viral. It's pure propaganda. Does anyone remember the movie "Victory" when the German radio announcer would propagandize the reception of the German team by piping in applause? How is this any different?
