Do you ever get tears in your eyes watching Ron Paul?

[otherone]

Obama supporters were crying their eyes out for him .

RP + patriotic music video's is a sure fire way to make me cry. The latest tear jerker for me:

Ron Paul - Vancouver Washington - Supporters overflowing - 2/16/2012

Thanks alot Tudo. Now I am crying because I watched this video again that I posted for you .

I never cry while watching. I simply am inspired by Ron Paul and grant my tears the freedom to leave my eyes if they so wish.

 

[jcannon98188]

I do too...I even feel ashamed for having been on the other side of the Liberty issue. Having once held the same veiws as your typical Statist Warmonger it is a personal source of shame. Moreover, its not that I held those beliefs. Its that I didn't have..how you say....critical thinking...to discredit those beliefs by myself. I had to hear it and gather more and more information to come to where I am today. Someone had to tell me I was wrong and point the way. I didn't know what Liberty was. I even fear that if it were not for the internets and Ron Paul himself...I would still be a statist. Yes I tear up more than I'd like to say. As I hear him speak...listen to others and read what they call news its...frustrating. Its like he is tring to tell us we can make circles and yet they (the system) restricts us to only being able to use an etch a sketch with wornout knobs.

This. A thousand times over. Everytime I think about it, I am floored and shocked that I ever would suggest half the things that I did before I started listening to Ron Paul. I was the one calling for more wars, more assassinations, more expansion. Now people think I am crazy when I lament ALL war, and call for Peace to finally grace the world.

Not quite, but I come close when I think about how Ron probably felt all those years in congress, doing the right thing and usually by himself (or close to it), probably feeling discouraged and wondering what it was all for, and then in the latter years of his life...a true and robust freedom movement starts to take shape with him leading the charge.

Pretty inspiring.

 

[Emperius]

Maybe not tears, but I do get chills and also a smile so big I can't even try to stop it.

When I look back on old congressional videos of him giving warnings to an empty House floor and how hopeless that must have felt, but he soldiered on. Now he is giving speeches to capacity crowds on campuses wherever he decides to go next. He absolutely loves it.

The New Hampshire victory speech brought me to tears a few times already.

I admit I'm a total political nerd. One of my girlfriends used to make fun of me by saying I was the only guy she knew who tears up while watching c-span..

Thanks alot Tudo. Now I am crying because I watched this video again that I posted for you .

I guess we're a couple crying types Patriot

 

[RonPaulFever]

I've teared up a few times and am not ashamed of it. It takes a whole helluva lot to get me all misty-eyed, so that is a testament to the power of the message.

 

[unknown]

Manly tears have been shed.

This.

Me too. No one has ever seen me cry but I admit I have shed a few tears watching Ron. Very powerfull message.

 

[playboymommy]

The courage of Ron Paul makes me cry liquid diamonds of Liberty...

 

[Havax]

I teared up watching this live because it's the first time I've ever been pretty sure Ron was weeping before he came on stage. Heartbreaking moment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ2b13edUcw

 

[opinionatedfool]

Yes.

 

[Suzu]

Yes, I do, a lot of the time. Anyone watching me from afar without knowing what I was watching would probably think I was nuts, alternately whooping and clapping and stomping, jumping up and down, grinning from ear to ear with tears in my eyes.

 

[Paulatized]

The third time I got to meet him (drove three hours one way) I finally had the presence of mind to thank him, very sincerely thank him, in person, to let him know how very grateful I am that he sacrificed his time and energy spreading the message of freedom in o8. Otherwise, I might not have ever come to know a great truth in life.

He could have gone home and enjoyed his family and played with his grandchildren and planted a garden, but the getting the message of liberty out was of the utmost importance to him and he persisted, and he changed this person's perspective on life forever.

And now when I see a youtube like the Vancouver Overflow, it causes an overwhelming feeling of thankfulness for the man Ron Paul and I choke up at the realization of the greatness of this humble man and am proud he is finally getting the appreciation he deserves.

FTFY.

 

[priest_of_syrinx]

I do. Often too. And before you get smart, I'm a pretty tough guy.

Pssshhhh, I cry sometimes when I watch My Little Pony. No judgment here!

So then it follows that I definitely have gotten teary-eyed from Ron Paul. Most memorably, his New Hampshire victory speech, and the first time I watched the 13-minute ad that's all over Youtube. I'm sure there are other times as well; I just don't remember them.

I think it's completely noble to cry when it's something you find profound and meaningful, or if it's grief. It means you are human, and that you are connected with reality. Crying because you're sorry for yourself is another matter entirely.
