Lew Rockwell - Ron Paul Kids Do Us Proud

[Anti Federalist]

Let's just have a crazy drunken dance party instead of running a professional presidential campaign, when the time comes. The voters should tolerate our nonsense and vote for us regardless of our behaviour.

What presidential campaign?

When has Ron announced his run?

Did I miss something?

Lets just start a war and get millions of people killed. When they give us an award for it the sheep should just shut up and respect our power.

now you are learning!

 

[silentshout]

I am sorry, but I have no respect for Cheney or Rumsfeld. The very idea makes me sick. Being quiet will not get these peoples approval. They will never approve unless Ron promises them a multi billion dollar military contract or something. Then he will be a great guy. Are you willing to go that far?

^^

The red-state fascist contingent chanted, as usual, “USA! USA!” by which they mean, “Federal Government! Federal Government!”

They cheer USA USA USA
They get back Big Government, Big Government repeated.

Is "Big Government" the best shout down.... any suggestions ?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Are we not desperate?

No, no, not at all.

Everything is cool, just got a couple of little political issues to iron out.

Nothing that can't be accomplished through the system.

Relax, it's all good.

The emotional outbursts which you are promoting are completely irrational, if your goal is for Ron Paul to win an election. If you don't care at all about him, then fine, go act like a hooligan as long as you don't present yourself as his supporter.

I guess you don't see the value of ever investing in anything, ever planting a seed, etc. It doesn't give you immediate gratification, so why bother, right? You don't think we should invest at all in the possibility that Ron Paul might run for President?

I'm getting old and fat and full of aches, pains and ailments caused by a lifetime of hard living.

And I'll still take my place out in the street with a bunch of hell raisers, if that's what it comes down to, than to sit on my hands and quietly swallow my bile and my pride to put up with that shit and play the polished, greasy game of "politics".

It's probably a good thing I don't show up to such events.

Nah, never...

What's 1981 in your username?

Maybe the year you were born?

If so, just to give you an idea, I was already out supporting myself and already in the fight in 1981.

Please don't talk to me about long term investment...

Yet judging by your comments, you don't see any value in promoting Ron Paul as a respectable candidate, and improving his brand, because he hasn't announced a Presidential campaign yet. That's an error in rational long-term investment. Your age is irrelevant.

So Lew Rockwell is basically applauding Ron Paul supporters for not respecting Ron Paul's personal request for them to keep their act professional and respectable. I'm not surprised. Rockwell is an abrasive and distasteful guy; no wonder other libertarian organizations distance themselves from him.

That's a very poor narrative summary. Lew's comment was a broad and complimentary one about the general anit-establishment/anti-neocon attitude of Paulian libertarians. He didn't specifically condone the folks who "misbehaved" (as it were). Leading up to CPAC, I didn't notice anything on LRC encouraging such behavior either. It seems you're reading too much into this and that you have a bias against Lew.

Lew Rockwell needs to shut up. Ron Paul requested that people be respectful and here's Lew cheering on their chicken shit behavior.

Is it possible that Ron Paul expected it to happen no matter what, and he just made the statement so the media couldn't say he was promoting it? Maybe Ron Paul doesn't give a shit, or maybe he is happy they did it anyway. He still needs to act professional. His support base needs to get excited.

 

[Distinguished Gentleman]

I'm one of the more utilitarian people on this board, and I still don't think this is a long term big deal.

Yes its true that even the liberals who respect the hecklers will gleefully vote against us later on. Then again, I think the Cheney crowd,which mostly exists in the beltway, would gleefully vote against us no matter how "respectful" we are. Dick Cheney had a 13% approval when he left office, and failed to turn an 08 Mississippi Congressional seat even after visiting. Are we going to start kissing up to Dan Quayle next?

CPAC will scarcely be discussed again a week from now. Everybody have fun and tip your waitress.

The behaviour today was fantastic. Stop saying that this hurt Ron Paul. It did not. Liberals love showing Cheney looking stupid.

Total agreement.

Indeed. I bet Ron frowned then smiled when he heard about it. I've reversed my opinion. Bring on the hecklers, let your voices be heard.

I wasn't comparing today's events to a "drunken dance party." That quote was in response to Anti Federalist's apparent opinion that good conduct doesn't matter when promoting Ron Paul, because the thing about freedom is that our nonsense should be tolerated by the electorate.

In any case though, appealing to Liberals is something which should be done after winning the Republican primaries, not before.

Disciplining your own kids instead of blaming someone else’s kids should be praised.

Sure it's a little uncomfortable when someone justifiably spanks their kids in church or a grocery store -but at least they're doing it.

Some folks discipline their kids in front of people, some take their kids out of sight and do it -and some do both.

The USA chanters are spoiling their kids.

Fuck yea. LRC is this shit. Wish someone brought some snowballs in with them. No respect for war criminals and mass murderers.
