Ron Paul livestream stroke?

[osan]

I would point out the obvious here in its well-behooved reiteration: nodody lasts forever.

While I share in the concern for Ron Paul's welfare, I would remind everyone of the temptation of becoming dependent on icons - living ones like Dr. Paul - for "leadership". My notion of leadership is very different from that of most people. I believe in the individual responsibility to be a leader, first and foremost of himself, but also of others when circumstance calls for it.

Consider the recent death of Ginsberg and the reaction of the progressives, what with their petty dramatic wailing and much gnashing of teeth as they fall over each other and themselves to show the world how devastated they are. They think it is some show of virtue when in truth and in the best case they are making wholesale embarrassments of themselves. In the case closer to the mean, they are showing the world what blindly flailing, grasping, hapless and feckless toddlers they truly are. Seriously, who in their right mind is going to look to people such as those for "leadership"? Would any sane man place reins of power into such hands? No.

Don't look to him or anyone else for leadership - look to yourselves. Learning from others like Dr. Paul is one thing - a valid thing, but when one DOES nothing with that which he has learned, he dishonors himself, as well as his mentors. He does himself and those around him great disservice by not putting into full practice that which is right and proper in terms of proper human relations, which is the correct basis of all politics, yet which is the least exercised mode of behavior. Corruption takes many forms and infects virtually every man.

When men turn their backs to the responsibilities they carry to themselves as free beings, as well as those to others, most often surrendering that freedom to the false authority of third parties in whom they have foolishly misplaced their trust, great evil flourishes. It is only when the critical mass of men are sufficiently educated and morally sound that proper human relations and the freedom is engenders can so much as survive in practice.

Be the leader you want.

How long is "a while"?

I agree. With all respect to Dr Paul - the clip actually has educational value. The incident comes on so suddenly and is only a few seconds long so, it is relatively bearable to watch. For me (and maybe this is selfish), it relieved some of the anxiety that it was something much worse and I felt confident that he would receive immediate treatment. Being able to recognize these symptoms for what they are, could actually save lives, since getting immediate treatment - especially within the first hour, I believe - makes a HUGE difference in how well the patient recovers; i.e. no signs of damage vs paralysis or partial paralysis, or worse.

I get Sword's point, and was not keen to watch myself, but yes, this.

I never regarded Ron as a "leader".

A "coalescer" perhaps, a well regarded teacher and spokesman.

And the Marxists weeping over Ginsburgonly did that because of lost power.

Not because of lost humanity.

Those goblins have no humanity themselves, therefore cannot weep over it being lost.

Look around you. I see people who idolize him. It's the convenient way to squirm away from one's own responsibility. This is what mean humanity has done since we started writing down our shit.

The smarter ones, yes. The vast corpus of useful idiots, however, do not see things in such strategic terms, but only in those of their morbidly swollen emotions, the main one IMO being the need to feel important. What better way than to attract attention to yourself by wailing and grinding your teeth down by 50%. It's like the idiot Muslims who whip themselves to bleeding in their infantile displays of public penance. Filipinos who cut their heads open with razors and bleed all over creation during one of their Catholic holidays is of an even character as they make public spectacles of themselves, thinking they are suffering like Jesus or whatever other morbid notion they carry, all the while accomplishing nothing of value in their struggle for self-importance.

Humans, with their endless need for low-rent, obscene drama, demote themselves to despicability.

Honestly I wasn't expecting Ron to be back so soon. You can't even tell that anything happened to him.

Hearing about Ron's incident reminded me of my grandfather who had a stroke before I was born. He was never able to walk on his own again.
