We are now officially front-runners. We need to act like it and be more respectful.

[Peace&Freedom]

That's a nice thought, but it is not reality. Perception is EVERYTHING in politics.

A mis-perception in positively NOT a perception, it is the opposite of perception, because it is NOT right. The notion that any internet forum, composed of the thoughts of thousands of diverse supporters of a liberty MOVEMENT that PRECEDED the adoption of a particular candidate as a national leader, could ever accurately represent that particular person, is simply implausible, and a misperception. We should not be afraid to be perceived truthfully as we are.

We have succeeded because we did NOT self censor ourselves, and persisted in advocating the truth, in ALL areas and issues where we have widespread concern, Bilderberg and all. The Ron Paul phenomenon exists because he has stood his ground for liberty---but liberty does not exist for Ron Paul. Let the readers of the superbrochure come here and experience the whole movement, and the fact that there are no second class members of it.

In that case maybe it shouldn't be called Ron Paul Forums?

Be respectful of women.
(In other words: Don't be creepy.)

 

[Peace&Freedom]

It should be called RPF, but not treated like "Ron Paul stands by every word said in this forum." NO other person operates on that basis with respect to a forum connected to their name. Do Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mitt Romney, etc., stand by everything said in the forums on their sites?

Well, you work on convincing everyone else in the country over to your belief. But, until then, I'm going to deal with reality and the reality is that what we say and do on this forum reflects on Ron Paul. It doesn't matter whether we agree, or don't like it, it just IS.

I couldn't find Bryan's new and improved version, but here is the original:

You are the leaders and ambassadors...

Just be polite, focus on facts, issues and principles.
have a nice conversation and let the newcomers make up their own mind !

The reality is you are acting like a bitchy schoolmarm and many are sick and frakking tired of your BS constantly showing up in damn near every thread that sticks to the board. For new readers that do not like being hounded by people who act just like the republicans you despised before coming here...feel free to ignore LE. She does this constantly but we rope her in now and then and let her know she controls only herself.

You can report me now oh ye of thin thin skin.

Although I agree with OP, I feel like this forum will slowly become the land of blandness.

future tense incorrect?

I'm sorry I thought this was the LIBERTY forum, I must be at the wrong Place.

Along with liberty comes responsibility. The more liberty, the more responsibility.

Absolutely correct. Perception is everything.

I wish people would get it.

 

[Revolution9]

Along with liberty comes responsibility. The more liberty, the more responsibility.

Many here confuse that with not speaking the truth. With liberty comes the responsibility to speak the truth. That is why Dr Paul is where he is at, why so many love him and is the core principle of the movement. Regardless of what those who would prefer truth be stuffed in a box or prettified so it is unrecognizable and would have us in constant self censor mode. The only activity needs chilling here is the creepers who are always saying stupid things about ladies and being creepy. Nobody likes them, they ain't funny and they do not ooze sexuality but something more akin to pus.

Insult me all you want, Rev, I really don't care. I am here for Ron Paul and for no other reason. I have to tell ya though, you're sounding a little like Bachmann there with your delusions of grandeur.

Oh, and that Republican Party you hate so much? It's their nomination that Ron Paul is trying to earn.

I am not insulting you. I am putting you in your place and signaling to those who need to understand they can continue to speak their mind. Yer the one like Bachman running around that we will lose the election because your sensibilities were offended. I told people to pay you no mind and that you just do that. Kinda like RP about Iran..heh. Oh the irony...

The Republican party is just fine. The issue I spoke to was your acting like the archetype that has turned peoples perception of what the actual party stands for on its head. Of course like the repugnocrat I accused you of being you jumped right into those shoes, showed your ass and posted the yard of lip I am responding to..

You didn't offend me. I would have to give you that power and I do not. But, you are making quite a jackass out of yourself.

 

[muh_roads]

I don't understand the argument here. LibertyEagle is just stating the obvious that we are now a stage for the world. Luntz wanted 500,000 viewers to come here.

Revolution9 like it or not what you say will be seen by many. No one can tell you how to act. But once you know you could be turning people off then don't you think you have a moral obligation to change?

I am still working on my attitude. It is tough. Things slip out. So I won't cast the first stone. But to deny that this forum is important feels like an excuse to be willfully ignorant so that person can continue being a prick to those whom they disagree with.

Do we want to win or not? Save the troll work for the trolls. But whatever...do as you wish.

 

[frickettz]

I have been noticing a trend of negative comments on articles from RP supporters. Some of them are so absurd I can't help but think they're being left by non-Dr. Paul supporters trying to lay the framework for more racism talk, but then there are genuine RP supporters that just come off a little too negative also.

I have seen numerous articles now which highlight the behavior of Ron Paul supporters. MSM is grasping at straws here, please don't doubt they will use our comments and behavior to spin Dr. Paul.

We need to be on our best behavior and show some respect. Arguments are never won by blowing up or getting upset about something. Stay cool, stay positive. Positivity is exactly what we need!
