... pertinent to this thread? Nobody knows what this thread had to do with Trump, other than 'Scusesmyth popped up, and where the SS goes, Trump is sure to follow like a puppy. But there are threads where PAF and I both spell out why we're positive about this guy.
And guess what? Those threads have the name Kennedy in their titles. Funny, that...
True, that. Some are anti authoritarian, others merely downright contrarian. Okay. You don't think he's what he says he is. You'll pop up in every thread where he's mentioned and say so, just to whore attention from those willing to defend him. Do you have to do the same in every thread?
Don't be a Smyth. Leave your pet projects out of irrelevant threads.
Out of +Rep
Perhaps reread PAF's opening post where RFK Jr was expressly tied into the thread from the start.
Pet projects? It's a pet project pointing out that he's on record repeatedly supporting throwing political adversaries in PRISON (how very Chinese of him) and a strong supporter of the enviro agenda? I'm not sure where you get that posting his own statements is a pet project, instead of merely fawning over the latest Democrat shiny thing being pushed to libertarians, just like how Smyth did with DJT.
Dev, I think you are misunderstanding me, RFK, and [MENTION=12430]acptulsa[/MENTION] as well.
As for me, I have no love or need for the state on up to federal government. Being an Agorist, I weigh "Risk versus Reward", while at all times look for ways to circumvent the system. Ron Paul is a libertarian and ran on an "R" ticket. I think he knew that he wasn't going to win, not only because most people in general do not embrace liberty, but due to all of the corruption also (which I witnessed first hand). But at least he had a platform of which to speak, topics which were never talked about prior to him, and some of the people who heard the truth came to the side of liberty.
RFK likewise has a lot of bad/false press, twitter clips cut short to distort what he is saying. I could be wrong, but I don't think that you actually listened to that entire segment where RFK explained what he was talking about. I may or may not agree with him on every position, but for the most part he is explaining exactly where the corruption exists, and what he can do to at least slow it down (especially once more people know the facts and truth). IMO, most voting republicans have no idea to the extent the lobbyists are embedded in government, and if they do, they turn a blind eye to support their party. Democrats, in my dealings with them, have absolutely no comprehension whatsoever and likewise blindly support their own party. Now when I speak with some of them, they at least know or acknowledge what I am talking about.
It doesn't make a difference to me who "wins" the election. The important thing is to spread the truth, and like Ron Paul consistently says "reach the hearts and minds of the people". Ron speaks and writes every day, and somehow he manages to get RFK's name in. He is doing that for a reason.
If you still haven't, I urge you to listen to RFK's interviews in their entirety. While I agree that some of the solutions are not what I would personally recommend, at least it gets the conversations going. Worse case, it is the current system that we live in, and if there is anyway possible to shed light on said corruption, I am all for it.
"Risk versus Reward" Would you prefer that nothing be said at all, while people live their lives completely and utterly oblivious, and according to what the RNC/DNC/Media spoon feed them?
Ron Paul: "We have featured important speakers like Julian Assange, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Col. Douglas Macgregor, and so many others. We have learned from their insights and experience. But just as importantly, we have developed and expanded the network of people who understand the message of peace and are ready to spread it further beyond our circles. That is what this is all about."
