Did Ron Paul Actually Do Anything?

[acptulsa]

But he's for earmarks.

Yes, just not the way it used to be done.

 

[phill4paul]

Doesn't matter. 3-4 generations of public screwl inculcation has negated everything Ron Paul has ever brought to the table. We're fucked. Good and well. At least gear up to kill some commies for mommy before they grind you under foot through sheer numbers. Because that is where this shit is headed.

At least gear up to kill some commies for mommy before they grind you under foot through sheer numbers. Because that is where this $#@! is headed.

And then there's this entirely reasonable take as well that kind of proves we/him/the liberty movement really didn't do much, if you want to look at it from that angle. The marxists are running everything and we are sitting on our hands either purposefully or made to do so by these forces.

I appreciate everyone's responses. I hope it jogged some minds as it has done for me. Time will tell, but I believe we're seeing the endgame unfold and its one that may be unavoidable for the vast majority of us. Having said that, I hope everyone of us here fights any way we can. Don't give in.

Ron Paul hasn't been taught in schools. It's the end game. Ain't no "victory gardens" in America. There's always been prophecies in the past. But NEVER has there been such a reliance on co-dependence.

Yes, Ron Paul did something... he "red-pilled" me. To me, that was his most crowning achievement.

I don't know if we can attribute it to Ron's campaigns directly, per se, but look at how much more awake people are compared to back then. The energy and money expended to manufacture the Trump psyop, hand-in-hand with the Q psyop, for example, just to keep awakening people following pied pipers and not truly awakening. The mass censorship underway. The covid shot refusal percentages. I'd bet that the one main thing that Ron's campaigns accomplished was setting the foundation for "conspiracy theory" (conspiracy fact) to go mainstream. TPTB have spent a HUUUUGE amount of time, effort and money to try to co-opt it ever since.

Actually, Ron Paul did get a piece of legislation passed.

Ok, that's not much. But it's not nothing.

The Federal Reserve Accountability Act of 2012 died in Senate.

Died in a previous Congress

This bill was introduced in a previous session of Congress and was passed by the House on July 25, 2012 but was never passed by the Senate.

Here is the 1 Bill that passed which Ron Paul introduced:
H.R. 2121 (111th): To authorize the Administrator of General Services to convey a parcel of real property in Galveston, Texas, to the Galveston Historical Foundation.
Sponsor: Rep. Ronald “Ron” Paul [R-TX14]
Introduced
Apr 27, 2009 Enacted — Signed by the President
Oct 19, 2009 Cosponsors 0

I didn't say it was signed into law.

 

[GlennwaldSnowdenAssanged]

I thought Massie got involved because he had issues with zoning in his township. He went to a meeting and people liked him and they gave their speaking time to Massie. What is not to like about Thomas Massie? I had liberty beliefs long before knowing of Dr. Ron Paul and aligned myself with him because he was a man that spoke about how I already felt.

 

[acptulsa]

Yes. Yes he certainly did.

And kid Congress and the Senate, don't scold 'em. They are just children that's never grown up. They don't like to be corrected in company. Don't send messages to 'em, send candy.'--Will Rogers

Sociopaths act exactly like children. They push and push their limits until they encounter more resistance than they want to handle right now, then they back off.

They aren't more evil than past regimes, they're just hysterical.

The State Of The Regime - Part Of The Problem #757
On this episode of Part Of The Problem Dave takes a look at the state of the covid vaccine regime, and how they have been using all their emotional ammo against the American people with little success.

We'll never be able to measure the Ron Paul Effect. But it's there. Dave's right. We've never been this close. They did mount the biggest propaganda campaign, if not in history, then since WWII, and more than half of the population has said, "Keep your jab to yourselves."

Yes, Ron Paul did something... he "red-pilled" me. To me, that was his most crowning achievement.

It is, you know. It's his crowning achievement. Forgive me for saying it wouldn't have been if it was just you. But it wasn't just you.

Yeah, people. This has been worth the trouble. And no, it's not over.

I believe RP made an impression on many folks, myself included.

"Did he do anything?" is a meaningless question. More context is needed.

 

[acptulsa]

Full disclaimer, the guy is my hero. I do feel like his 2012 campaign and his followers woke me up, truly. My entire paradigm on life changed whenever I learned about this guy and the liberty movement. I am thankful for that.

So, I want to pose this question: did he really do anything? The reason I'm bringing it up is there's increasing chatter within some libertarian spheres (starting with Matt Erickson who is starting up his "Kingpilled" podcast and is encouraging libertarians to put politics down and focus on becoming wealthy instead. This, he argues, will then make us more powerful and influential) that Ron Paul really didn't do much in the grand scheme. Liberty, for all intents and purposes, hasn't advanced (at least not nationally). Ron Paul himself never had any legislation passed, and what was the point in waking millions up only for them to become so disenfranchised with the system that they may as well be asleep again?

When I first hear this premise, I of course yelled blasphemy. But, I thought about it. And I'm honestly not sure the premise itself is wrong when examined from "look at how far liberty has eroded since 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, etc. What did he truly do that has had consequence?

And to be fair, I don't think it's a direct indictment against him as much as it is some of us followers who put him and others on pedestals.

Just curious to hear what others think of this.

Hey, Okie. Osan says your OP is an insufficiently tall wall of text.

And he would know.

[tebowlives]

He spread the word, like Paul Revere and Wentworth Cheswell did.

Ron Paul is one of the most influential Americans in a modern era after Ike and Goldwater. Without Ron Paul you probably dont have Rand Paul and Thomas Massie who are the two greatest voices of freedom currently. Instead youd probably have a republican socialist party and a democratic communist party with no conservatives to be found .

 

[PAF]

Ron Paul has done more than any politician or activist in history. He has educated that governments and baureocrats are not the answer, but that reaching the hearts and minds of the people is. Which is 1,000% true.

Liberty comes from within. Those who fail or refuse to understand this will continue to keep the system alive. No matter who runs, or how hard one may vote.

So most of the newer responses are still in line with the majority opinion that he educated so many people and that he offspringed [sic] 3 politicians who are largely ineffective by themselves in the National Congress.

So again, I ask did he really do anything? Let's take this for an example: if Ron Paul didn't educate people or wasn't around, would there be 90% vax rates and a full totalitarian state right now? Would we be inching ever closer than we are now?

I understand some elements of this can be a tricky discussion to unfold. By let me get to my next question: what has his education and awakening of millions (?) done for us today? We are still a sinking ship right? So are we at least "aware" that this ship is sinking now? I guess that's better than being unaware? But even so, we can't stop the ship from sinking and no one else will believe us. So... what did that achieve?

 

[jmdrake]

I'm honestly not sure.





How do we know this? How do we know things would be worse than they already are?
What Rand really done, though? What has grilling Fauci done? Fauci is still in his position of power and has a cult following that contains half of the country...

I'm just trying to pick these things apart so I can fully understand everything around it.

Without Rand Paul taking on Fauci he would have had a cult that contained 75% to 90% of the country. Trump certainly did nothing to diminish Fauci.

This! And everyday Ron Paul is proven more and more right.
