Even hinting at causing trouble is a good way to get our delegates marginalized at the door which would defeat the purpose. They are looking for a reason to do it.
There is no need for us to "remember our place", only for us to remember the rules of the game we have been playing all along. If things turn ugly, in most cases, the threatened one will be the one to hit first. You can count on the old guard to feel threatened. Reminds me of Ron Paul's foreign policy. Mind your own business, do your own thing and do it well. Know your limitations and your rights. No need to obsess about one or the other, but you must understand them and view them with equal nobility. If you are acutely aware of both of those, then you know the precise moment when......given no other choice by an indignant adversary, you must raise hell.
FYI - The RNC is a thing it cannot want. Keep in mind folks we are opposed by a group of individuals who adhere to an ideology. We are not fighting things. And the answer to the posters question is, NO the Neo-Cons aka Trotskyite Communist do not want our Liberty.

I'm sure they already have their reasons. I'm afraid it's too late to not be bold. Ron Paul changed the game, and no matter what we do from here on, I say this:
if something bad happens, we will be blamed.
if something good happens, we will get no credit.
if nothing happens, we will be forgotten.
(basically, there's no use in trying to care at all what the GOP thinks of us, because, at least from now until November, they're going to think exactly how they are told to think, which is always to think of us negatively; if we all grew wings and sprouted halos, they'd still side with the devil just to oppose us)
I was disappointed to read Ron Paul's latest campaign update, where he says that we may have ~20% of the delegation in Tampa, and Dr. Paul seems to think that is enough to shape the future of the GOP (platform changes, blah blah blah—Come on, Ron, the GOP doesn't even follow its own platform).
