We Are The Future Rally - live updates and discussion thread

[WesSeid]

Also not a fan of replacing r3VOLution with RepubliCAN. At all.

Oh, RepubliCAN is serious? Sounds kind of corny.

Anyway, Youtube has a clearer feed for me than CSPAN for whatever reason.

Exactly. I Live in Southern NH. Kittery, ME, is a few miles from me. The taxes are out of control. I think they even have a 5% sales tax. I would never move there, Although it is a beautiful state. I vacationed in Acadia last summer and had an amazing time. Lots of RP supporters up there.

I owned a business in Kittery, Maine. I lived in York, Maine. So, I know this first hand. When I left the sales tax was 6.5%.

I also think it is a shame that if someone works at the Portsmouth Navy Yard and lives in New Hampshire the state of Maine taxes their income. Also, if the person has a spouse, their income is figured into the mix. Oh and here is another kick in the pants; If you retire from the Portsmouth Navy yard (and live in New Hampshire) and decided to move to say Florida. If you do this within a year from your retirement, the State of Maine will tax you on the capital gains you made from the sale of your house you sold in New Hampshire, as income!! I kid you, not!!

No taxation without Representation--right?

I'm watching them online.

I need the videos, not the live stream.

 

[Carlybee]

Dang they need some background music in between speakers to spice this thing up a little.

 

[thatpeculiarcat]

I'm surprised Spiker didn't get boo'd as soon as he mentioned Pat Robertson.

 

[NoOneButPaul]

Carl Bunce was incredible. What a fine young man...

"Doctor Paul trusts YOU, the individual"...thank you.

Haven't seen the speech, but Walter is Walter, he wrote a damn book called "Defending the Undefendable," in which he defended pimps, drug dealers, etc. Hope it ruffled feathers and opened people to a new argument, one that doesn't involve government force.

I love Walter and see what you're saying, but that was one awful speech. This was not the time nor place for that talk.

hmm I don't remember. We did drive (cheating) to the top of that major mountain peak, and we whale watched. Nice place. Great burgers at the Finback Whalehouse in Bar Harbor.

It was a challenging 1000ft vertical hike up Champlain Mtn. There are all these iron rungs and ladders that you climb up.

One night we were driving along and I saw this restaurant with a lighthouse on top. It was a funky looking place so my wife and I decided to stop and grab some dinner. Turns out the place is owned by a RP supporter. He had a giant campaign sign by the front entrance, and a bunch of other signs by the bar. Him and I chatted for a while. Him, his wife and 5 kids live in the lighthouse above the restaurant. Interesting guy. If you ever go back you should check it out. It's called Capn' Nemo's.

So many amazing speeches, can't believe Block had to mess it all up.

 

[green73]

What this guy is saying is important and energizing -- I wish someone with a half way energizing voice, rather than a parsing the gospel voice, were presenting it.

This.

"Doctor Paul trusts YOU, the individual"...thank you.

And I guess that means we need to do our own thing for liberty...which implies we need to stop arguing about it.

(slinks away sheepishly...)

So many amazing speeches, can't believe Block had to mess it all up.

God forbid someone think of an answer that respects property rights, life, and rejects government as the answer.

 

[green73]

I hate to be the turd in the punch bowl here, but this event, thus far, has me very underwhelmed. IMO, the speeches, (aside from Rockwell and Schaffer) have been boring.

Here's a list of liberty people I would have liked to see:

Tom Woods
Stefan Molyneux
Jeffrey Tucker
Sibel Edmonds
TMOT
Walter E. Williams
Larken Rose
Peter Schiff
Jerry Doyle
G. Edward Griffin

There are many others. These are just off my head.

No complaints with that list.

Davis!!

He's already on fire, and he just started!

I know all about this. My grandmother worked at the Navy Yard. What was your business in Kittery? I live in Portsmouth.

There is a great butcher shop and Vegetable store in Kittery. I used to frequent these shops until recently, when the Memorial Bridge was taken down. It's a shame, I think many of the businesses right over the bridge are suffering now.

 

[Okie RP fan]

I really hope we can take Senator Davis far. We need him.

 

[ZENemy]

END THE FED!!!!!!!!!!

 

[thatpeculiarcat]

Standing O for calling Bernanke a dictator! Hell yeah Davis!
