Is Ron Paul a Freemason?

[hard@work]

But that's a nice straw man you brought up with Carroll Quigley.

Not interested in you at all. Just calling you out for the readers. They are welcome to read the philosophies and writings of real individual thinkers themselves. I've chosen my side of the ideological battle. And it is with those who honestly believe in Liberty. Not those who seek to destroy it ...

e.g.

David Rockefeller, CFR / Trilateral commission

I've been pushing for Ron Paul to the best of my ability and continue to do so. Word of mouth as well as e-mailing positive news to a number of friends who would not have known of Ron Paul otherwise. I'm glad you will keep pushing for Ron Paul as well.

Glad to hear it.

Yes, I will be certain to continue working to ensure the election of the one candidate who upholds the ideals of our Founding Fathers, including those great men acknowledged in this thread.

A handful of us in this state managed to round up enough people to file as Ron Paul delegates that we are currently third in the state. We could well take second, but we are waiting for the finalized numbers to come out.

We are also reaching out to the hundreds of uncommitted delegates, working to bring them around to the side of Liberty and Constitutional government.

Our work is cut out for us, but sometimes threads like this one can prove a pleasant distraction, as long as one doesn't take them too seriously.

Keep in mind, most Masons do not know what the end game of their organization is. It would be unfair to get down on Ron Paul simply because he might be a Freemason (many Founding Fathers were Masons, including Washington).

Judge a tree by its fruits. And all I can see with Ron Paul are lush bountiful citrus!

 

[H Roark]

No he is not a Freemason and if he was I would not be voting for him.

sad

that is just sad

 

[Spirit of '76]

that is just sad

Just think: That guy wouldn't have voted for George Washington or Andrew Jackson, either.

Interesting how these new posters register just to bash the masons. Wonder what they're doing for Dr. Paul...

By the way, I just read in an article from South Carolina that Dr. Paul spoke at a Shrine Temple there this week. ZOMG! He's part of the Illuminati lizard conspiracy!!!1!!!!!!

An entertaining thread. Thanks at Spirit of '76 and the tin-foilers.

jdmyprez_deo_vindice, one question. I guess it's not allowed to speak about politics, but do you think many of your brothers may vote for Ron Paul?

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

politics

You are right, we are forbidden to officially discuss politics in the lodge but outside of the lodge we talk about whatever we want. I cannot speak for all Masons but I along with many of the ones I know personally will be voting for Dr. Paul. I have heard through the grapevine that many Freemasons are receptive to Ron Paul and will be voting accordingly.

Big thanks. That sounds good

I....want to be a freemason

I am a Master Mason but I have not heard about Ron Paul being a Mason. I will do a little digging and let you know. For those of you out there who think Masonry is some grand conspiracy please do not hassle me for being a Freemason. I know you have your opinions and I appreciate that and respect that and IF it turns out that Dr. Paul is a brother than PLEASE do not turn your back on him or the message over something like that.

I've heard that only those near the top know anything, so if your not at the top thats not entirely convincing..

I'd have to know what activites you engage in before I made my judgement.

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

just ask

I....want to be a freemason

All you have to do is ask a Master Mason that you know and they will guide you the rest of the way

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

Does it ever end?

I've heard that only those near the top know anything, so if your not at the top thats not entirely convincing..

I will be a 32nd degree before the end of the year and besides the highest you can go in Masonry is Master Mason. There is no direct evidence to say that Ron Paul is a Freemason and if I ever meet the guy face to face than I will know for sure. Outside of that please do not assume to know something about a group you actually know nothing about.

I edited my post. I will not assume anything, which means I won't trust you either.

I'd have to know what activites you engage in (you = all freemasons) before I made my judgement.

You can read what the original masons in America had to say about how we should live. You can make a choice, trust the writings of these men or trust the writings of those who wish to cover them in cloaks of conspiracy. I chose early on to read the philosophical positions of the founders. When I am presented with conflicting information about the masonic order ... whom do I trust? People who cite disturbed attention starved sensationalists like Allistaire Crowley?

Or should I trust great men and Sons of Liberty who's words and actions spoke for them and have been passed down to us now?

To be honest, I would not even write that last sentence in the same paragraph as the individual I mentioned. I would not sully their honor so. I will however quite happily pepper these thoughts with my own conspiracy:

The money changers and the masons have been at war for quite some time now. If you are with us in the freedom movement, then you've chosen the right side.

I'm just kidding of course. But it is worth a thought to consider.

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

good grief

You dont have to trust me but just trust in Dr. Paul and the message of constitutional freedom and we will all be just fine

 

[Bradley in DC]

If he were, would he say?

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

I dont see why not

If he were, would he say?

I cannot image he would not mention it or that it would not have leaked out. Most Masons freely admit they are. The only reason Masons have ever hidden their membership status is because of things like the anti-masonic party here in the U.S. during the early 1800's and the Nazi's who put us in concentration camps or killed us on sight. Most Masons today do not feel a serious threat from people knowing they are Masons so usually they are very open with it and considering Dr. Paul's personal honesty I imagine he would have disclosed it by now.

That is perhaps one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

Thank you for failing to make an intelligent counter argument.
And yes It's stupid to you because you're a braindead chimp who suffers from cognitive dissonance. Clearly you aren't very well read on history.

Interesting Stuff Regarding Freemasonry

What's Beyond Freemasonry?

Ahh and there is my reference to Vatican II. thanks

As I said before, Freemasons of recent history, from the 17th and 18th centuries have no idea where the roots of masonry come from(which is kazaria and then albion/briton). It's current usage is meaningless except to those at the very top of the pyramid.

Furthermore I'd like to see some of the masonic kooks on here with their wannabe shriners club beanies to name some CURRENT prominant and WELL KNOWN masonic public figures who speak out and support Ron Paul. Remember I'm asking for well known masons that the average joe would know.

Then also explain to us how the masons will stand behind a great patriot like Ron Paul.

Lastly, Reverre wasn't a mason. That's pure gobbledygoop.
