What is the purpose of this forum existing anymore?
This is a pretty silly question. Ron is not running for anything anymore but he's still out there spreading the liberty 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, 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 very much helps to raise important issues and influence the national debate. We would definitely be worse off without that.
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.
