What is the purpose of this forum existing anymore?

What everybody said.

 

[tod evans]

Giving up is FAIL.

Giving up, even in the face of certain destruction is candy-ass.

Yup.

This is a pretty silly question. Ron is not running for anything anymore but he's still out there spreading his message on TV and his youtube channel, and we would like to help facilitate with that. Rand is up for re-election and we need to make sure the leading voice for liberty in the senate remains there for another 6 years. Walter Jones, who is the member of congress neocons despise most, is facing a tough primary challenge from a Bush crony and could possibly lose his seat. Amash and Massie are also up for re-election, although their seats are pretty safe. There are other liberty candidates too, such as whoever the Libertarian nominee will be, and there will be more in the future. There will never be a liberty majority in Washington, but having a few outspoken voices on the national stage sure helps to raise important issues and influence the national debate, and prevent things from getting even worse.

Besides liberty candidates, there are many other reasons for this forum to exist and for people to be involved with political activism. There is a ballot initiative in your state to legalize marijuana for example, which is still in the process of collecting signatures. Maybe you could volunteer for that. And despite all your hopelessness about how bad things are, that is an area where a huge amount of progress has been made toward increasing liberty over the past decade.

There are other areas where progress has been made too. I disagree with your assessment that war has increased. We have not gotten into another major war while this forum has been in existence. It almost happened with Syria, but the American public was strongly opposed, including many conservatives. That is something that probably would not have happened in the past, before Ron came along. Also an agreement was signed with Iran and war has been avoided for the foreseeable future. In regards to sound money and auditing the fed, no we will probably not have either of those any time soon, but great progress has been made in educating the public. Which may eventually bear fruit in the future.

Your apparent hopelessness that anything can be achieved to move more toward liberty is misguided.

once upon a time,
I was in Galveston Texas with Bryan, Adam Kokesh, Ron Paul and judge Nap...
when judge Nap uttered these immortal words. "defending Liberty, in it's hour of greatest need. is an honor, reserved for few"
(Adam was running for Congress at the time)

methinks.. that what we are "missing" is a "shtick" I will defer the Danke for an EXACT definition of this phenomenon.

I think of it this way... zerohedge.com has a shtick. they are unabashedly "Austrian school".(a position) within their domain.

good or bad... they, have an identity.

I am pushing that we adopt, or rather... finally recognize and "position" ourselves as MinArchists.

and if not, why not sir?

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Just think how bad or worse it might be if the few liberty people out there did nothing or did not speak up.

In order to avoid all of that I notified the Gov a few years ago my intention to take back half of my state .Then I will secede .

Good a reason as any.

Visiting RPF here makes me dream in equal opportunity living color, though there isn't much cyan most of the time.

Could just be the nighttime lighting and all that teal.

You know you're doing something right when outsiders continually infiltrate your site for years on end. No wonder you see these people on here every day or frequently: (mod edit)

So this forum is to get Hillary Elected ?

One big purpose for this website at present is to advance the cause of keeping Donald Trump from being the Republican nominee for President.

....and Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, etc..

 

[dannno]

I think Trump has the best chance at beating Hillary of the GOP candidates left in the race, Romney or Paul Ryan. CPUd will show you stats that indicate otherwise, but that is not the election that is what people currently think based on their current emotions and what they know now. Not that I support Trump, I won't vote for him, I just really hate all the other candidates immensely.
