Feel free to invite ourself to the "TELL RON TO RUN" 3rd party event page.

[Matt Collins]

Please go away. We are trying to save this nation, what are YOU trying to do?

Winning back my liberty, but doing it in the most effective manner possible.

Are you sure? Are you not a "closet collectivist" who made a Freudian slip when composing the title of this thread? (Hint: I don't think I've ever seen a more collectivist word than "ourself".)

I'm wondering how effective the facebook event page was. It said 354 were coming, and ~2,500 had been invited. There were 1,000 people that called in and another 1,000 who watched it streaming from DP. It was advertized here, there, via twitter and reddit... elsewhere maybe? YouTube.

Paul's campaign answering machines are out of space/memory from our calling over the weekend.

So how effective are we at using any social media?

What should we do?

The below Lord of the Flies analogy is perfectly fitting to the current political situation. There is no need to exaggerate to get the point across, no need to embellish, just lay out the facts and the story tells itself.

The central concern of Lord of the Flies the freedom movement and the Romney / establishment is the conflict between two competing impulses that exist within all human beings: the instinct to live by rules, act peacefully, follow moral commands, and value the good of the group against the instinct to gratify one’s immediate desires, act violently to obtain supremacy over others, and enforce one’s will. This conflict might be expressed in a number of ways: civilization vs. savagery, order vs. chaos, reason vs. impulse, law vs. anarchy, or the broader heading of good vs. evil. (taken from sparknotes)

But in the end we cannot expect a knight in shining Armour (the naval officer) to magically appear and save the day ---- we know the mistakes that the (good) children in Lord of the Flies made. And that was not conquering their foe when they had the chance. Sometimes war is inevitable.

To The HILT!

Definition:hilt
From the Anglo-Saxon word hilt, or hilte, Old High German helza, or Old Norwegian, hjalt. It simply means the handle of a sword or dagger. A single-edged modern knife does not have a hilt; it has a handle. The term is best relegated to swords and daggers only, not general hand knives. There are many components to the hilt, including the quillons, grip, pommel, knuckle bows, pas de' ane, and crossguard of a sword, and various other components.
