I'm not sure exactly which policies fit within the C4L and which are just "personal opinion". No doubt a majority (including myself) would insist that "9/11 was an inside job" is not part of our collective position, but that transparency of government is. You know, we now have the dubious...

In fact.... You know, I have a position that's even more controversial than that of the 'truthers'. I wholeheartedly believe that there should be a penalty for willful violation of the Constitution; that such behavior is criminal. It should be at least as severe as treason, sedition, or...

I would counsel you to review what Goldwater had to say about this. It's not enough to merely get yourself elected if you're not going to stand up for your own values. As Ron Paul Republicans, we're very vocal but arguably lonely as well. I accept that, as I will not compromise my principles...

My friend, we don't win votes by being libertarian conservatives either. :) I'm not a truther myself, but I welcome anybody to our movement who embraces the cause of Constitutional law and freedom, even if we disagree on everything else.

The occupation of prostitution is a very interesting example of human nature and interaction. The 'Ho' goes out and charges 'johns' for her services and gives all her money to her pimp, while the "pimp" acts as her manager, disciplinarian, and protector. Any given pimp will field a large...

Some trains of thought that I can't figure out what to do with. Feel free to do whatever with them. :) Of Patriots and Tyrants From the Merriam Webster dictionary: How can it be that that a word that derives from "father" be applied to a modern concept that implies "son"? Answer is it...

Watching this speech, I am constantly reminded how much I loathe Rudy Giuliani.

He meant *exactly* what he said; "Blood"= blood, just as it did in the quote he referenced. Yes it's unsettling. Yes, I will be counted by his side. I am, like him, a war veteran from a family of war veterans. I was there and stood (although acutely embarassed at doing so) because I...

Agreed. No matter what career decisions follow for Dr. Paul, he will always be the father and intellectual progenitor of the modern liberty movement, much like the late, great Sen. Goldwater established the tone and thought for his generation. This is not a mere Presidential campaign any...

Correction to the above. It was Adam Kokesh. Great speech! Apologies for forgetting his name. He wasn't listed in the program.

There was a third section. I was all the way up in nosebleed section, but moved closer when the delegates left for the convention.

Was it Matt Colvin that gave the fiery speech about the "Tree of Liberty"? If so, he was definitely my favorite, followed by Jesse Ventura and of course Dr. Paul himself.

Same thought crossed my mind. I'm not a "truther" myself, but I certainly wouldn't toss them out on their ear. Their movement is one of government transparency, which is something we all embrace. The fact that their views on the matter are politically unpalatable to the average voter is...

One of my friends wangled a press pass and was actually there when Tucker left. His account backs up Politico's.

Also as an aside, I'm not convinced of Ventura's sincerity about his proposed bid. He has displayed up to this point a flirtation with the concept of running without actually doing so due to his (understandable) aversion to media intrusion into his family's life.
