As a Ron Paul supporter since BEFORE he announced in 2007, let me applaud RPF for doing something extremely difficult and rare: providing a relatively open forum for discussion that hasn't become a loony bin and a monument to its owner's ego. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the Daily...

Sofia, It's all relative. Sure, you can say that we're all "fringe" because we're a minority viewpoint when it comes to foreign policy, civil liberties, the drug war, the Federal Reserve, etc. But I'd counter that there's a big difference between our differences in ideology and perspectives on...

Yes, I feel my posts are. I feel that we have to examine the message our movement sends out. If you're comfortable with "anything goes," that's your choice. We can argue about that some other time. But pathetic pictures and trolling about how you don't give a crap are hypocritical (if you don't...

Wow, Disorderly. That's mature and productive.

Yeah, that's a positive way to look at it. But we also have to bear in mind that people, even people trying to "get shit done" to help the cause, can do a lot of unintentional damage. For instance, they may not realize that they're shoveling the shit into the wind, and it's blowing back in our...

Very well spoken.

Agorism: Nothing wrong with being an anarchist. I think many of us are trending in that direction because we don't trust the system to elect people who will uphold the contract. They have no problem with you there as long as you aren't disagreeing with the direction the site is taking. If you...

Agorism: I don't see "free speech" there. It's this bizarre Shadow Land where the regulars (and some of the extreme moderators like legalizeliberty) are fringe wackos, and THOSE ideas get "free speech" protection. But if you dare to advocate something different (like, for example, "Hey guys...

For those of you who don't know, Michael Nystrom is a middle-aged, self-described "political neophyte" who runs the website "Daily Paul." Over the pats few years, I have watched as that site has developed into an unofficial watering hole of sorts for this movement. I have also watched the tone...

Beck's tactic might not hurt her, but her answer will. Preface: I'm for Medina. Nothing has changed. Let's not mistake tactical criticism for a criticism of the content. That being said, this was a huge mistake by Medina. The issue has nothing to do with Texas government, so she has nothing to...

Campaign Finance Law Issues Has anyone looked into campaign finance law issues surrounding this ad? I'm not trying to be a buzzkill, but I think Lawrence could be setting himself up for some trouble. I'm about 90% that this type of an independent expenditure advocating a candidate would count...

Here's another despicable hack that really needs either some education or an electoral booting: From the Nashua Telegraph (http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070909/COLUMNISTS12/209090420/-1/opinion)

Andy and Bob, Good thinking trying to coordinate this with the Philly Meet-up. Perhaps this can be a two-day or one LONG day visit from Dr. Paul, capped off by your rally. On a side note, I'm a little miffed that I was sitting here working on the web design -- like you guys asked -- and no one...

To be fair, did you even see the exchange? The topic wasn't about Paul at all. Matthews brought up the question and posed it in a very favorable way toward Paul, saying he liked what he had to say. We can predict what a neocon like Card would say, but still. Matthews brought him up, got him...

Good point. The anti-Paul "Bury Brigade" is out in full force. There's another interesting article following up on that Capitol Hill Blue scandal. It's up on digg now, and I'm sure the Bury Brigade won't like it. The site has been pro-Paul in that it ripped CHB for its conduct...
