Just talk to those who want to talk.
Some seem to think you are looking for some kind of authority instead of just offering to convey information because you are over there. Just ignore it, no offense.
Sailing, I really appreciate the support. I just hate the attitude around here with some people. Everything is us vs. them. I don't care, but it pisses me off to no end because I know I can take it but there are a million other people out there who would get turned off by that who might otherwise listen to someone from the Liberty movement.
I understand the whole us vs. them, this is a revolution, blah blah blah. But that is only part of what is going on and most people in this country don't want to hear about stuff like that. When I was at the Ron Paul Rally at the University of Maryland, Adam Kokesh was storming up and down the isle yelling, "REVOLUTION!" and stuff, which the crowd loved for about 10 seconds. I love that kind of thing, but I was sitting there thinking that a lot of these people are new and they don't need to be yelled at by some guy they don't know. My point is that there needs to be, and I expressed this to Patrick from Campaign For Liberty in Baltimore County, there needs to be another side to this "WE'RE AT WAR WITH THE GOVERNMENT" or whatever stuff. Not because it's wrong, but because some people just don't want to hear it!
Some people would rather not listen to Slayer for an hour. I love Slayer. But if I turned that on in the car while my mother was driving she would drive off the road.
All I'm saying is that ALL OF US need to keep our minds open to ALL possibilities.
As I posted (just before the Benton email, etc.) ANY opportunities we have we must grab. If we don't, we are "walking away from a troy ounce gold coin that we spot on the sidewalk because we doubt it could be real."
Doubt is necessary, skepticism is necessary. But cynicism only closes doors and I have seen WAY to many doors closed here on these forums.
People are people. They're not robots that you just program for liberty and then say "GO!"
I can take crap. But for every one of me, I know there are so many who would be interested in Ron Paul or the Liberty Movement if we didn't act like a bunch of ELITISTS.
There is a beautifully irony in that. People who fight for liberty and don't give a crap about people. The people who don't agree with them, or don't want to listen.
This is a revolution of ideas, but ideas don't exist without people, and people have feelings like fear and needs like people treating them with respect and patience.
Just because someone knows what to do about something doesn't mean they can communicate it to others well. And if they can't reach out to other people, then they will not spread their message.
I'm sorry, but I have seen some real s--t behavior here over the past few weeks. It just blows my mind that people can be so sure of themselves about the future of this country and still treat people like crap.
Ideology IMO is only PART of this revolution. Love and respect and patience and self-sacrifice had better be just as big or it will fail.
I'm done with this. I'm going back to try to FIND OUT WHAT LAWYERS FOR RON PAUL CAN DO FOR THE REVOLUTION. IF ANYONE WANTS TO JOIN ME I'D F-ING APPRECIATE IT.
And for those of you who have expressed any doubts about me, have at it:

Don't f-ing challenge me unless you've got something real to bring. I put it all out there every day.
