Perhaps my last post on the Daily Paul
Submitted by legalizeliberty on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 21:50"After a long, hopeless war, people will settle for peace, at almost any price."

"Well, it's worth putting in place crippling sanctions. It's worth working with the insurgents in the company to encourage regime change in the country. And if all else fails, if after all of the work we've done, there's nothing else we can do beside take military action, then of course you take military action. It is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
-- Mitt Romney
Today I had an epiphany of sorts. As I was roaming the internet something a voice inside said "what will people post on the Daily Paul once president Mitt Romney starts to bomb Iran?"
Will those who endorsed Mitt Romney and all those who voted for him "face the music?"
"But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony--Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?"
-- Erich Maria Remarque

Don't leave. I always enjoy your comments.
Besides.. there will be NO President Romney.
Do you really think he'll win? Based off what? Reports from the MSM?
Romney will NOT win without the support of the RP crowd. And as best I can see, we're not voting for him. Seems everyone is either writing in RP or voting Gary Johnson. So where on Earth do you get that there will be a President Romney?

I lay out what I think our 3 goals are and how I think we can achieve them, as well as establish a place to gather community input. I'm funneling a bunch of libertarian website to those boards to help me get ideas.

You posted this same thing yesterday
Get off of it! You put this same post up yesterday. So when is your last post going to be?
Don't quit; take a break instead
I found this site back in 2008 but never bothered to sign up until last year. I'll probably take a break from here myself later on in the year but it's unlikely I'll ever leave permanently. Keep fighting the good fight!
By the way, I don't know a single person who is voting for Romney; so you can sleep tight.
Oh quit,lol.
In the two and a half years I have been here they have been trying to get rid of you! Lol. As always you stand against adversity and refuse to go! Lol. What would this place be without it's greatest freedom fighter? I nominated you in the link below man.

Thank you my friend so very much!
Kind of speechless now...
I posted some great anti war quotes on Twitter this evening here is one of them for you my friend:

Love you man
I know how you feel, Wouldn't it be nice if we could fix all this overnight? Well, as we know we cannot let it discourage us because it didn't happen that way. So the Horse threw us off?, Get back on and show it who is boss!

Legalize - don't be silly..
Whether or not you post, you will be a part of the DP.
Take some time, enjoy the solstice as we swing back towards the shorter days... Lurk for a while.
What the good Doctor started is not going away, and I sense, neither are you ;-)
Take a breather
No need too make a big exit. Just take some time off. Do some stuff unrelated to the campaign and the movement. Come back when you are ready in a few days, a week, a month. You may have found that you've changed and that things have calmed down here. No trying to get into your business. Just a humble suggestion from a friend in liberty.
It is futile to fight against, if one does not know what one is fighting for. -Ayn Rand
What!!!
People here aren't endorsing Romney. You are in good company. Don't leave.
Not sure what you are implying...
But you are a steadfast patriot.
Please don't be a quitter, now.
You are GREATLY needed.

Now Now!
Don't you remember when you were trying to quit drinking and I begged you not to? Come on man. I encouraged you to hang in there and keep hittin' the sauce. I was the only person on the DP that supported you and your drinking habit.
Now I ask, where can you find support like that? Stay with us son and may the good Lord take a likin' to ya!
Love your comment & your cool vibes
Thank you & everyone else here who cheered me up.
I Love you all.
I missed this site so much and it was just 18 hours being away from it...
Just want to give a big hug to everyone.

I left the DP about a year+ ago. Now just mostly back as an observer to see how things turn out.
I for one hope you keep posting,
responding, defending and leading the way. The discourse on DP is evolutionary, don't let it discourage you. The greater the diversity of opinion the better. The events of this last week has forced people to assess where they stand and how they will move forward. But I have to believe that the vast majority will NOT be voting for Romney or Obama. The vast majority still have energy for Dr. Paul and the rEVOLution. The vast majority know that winning the presidential race is only a small part of what needs to be done to restore liberty in our time.
h-daddy
perhaps but
but hopefully not ... this site needs as many anti war voices as possible, stay with it ... take a break - then re-group and focus.
Stand Firm. Honor Ron Paul
It still might be President Paul. Even if not, honor him his life work. Keep up the good fight.
See my post
Ron Paul Trusts Us to Stand Firm
I hear you Legalize but I hope it's not true.
This site is about the best thing left for the cause of liberty.
And remember who you came here for: RON Paul not RAND Paul.
Please see my post entitled "I'm Here For Ron Paul Only. No One Else."
Maybe it will help.
I look forward to your future posts!
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."

Has there been an upsurge?
Hi
Has there been an unusual upsurge in
brand-new members to the DP?
If more organized trolling is going on
It would explain a few things.
I'm sure the Alex Jones camp is here
down-voting any criticism of their
dear-leader who has been doing a
complete hatchet job on RON Paul
with his infowars organization.
as for rand, i was never here for that guy.
Our LL, the canary in the liberty sweat-shop!
Yup, LL, you are right. The air here is quite foul at this moment due to the onslaught of newly registered trolls' concerted efforts to compromise the goodness of this site. (I have a list of about 20 trolling offenders.)
Take a mini-break from the liberty sweat-shop. And wait for the trolls to move on to their next gig.
Love & hugs to you. Come back when the air clears up. We need your canary poems. . .
Hang in there LL : )
This too will pass lol
Take a day or two, do whatever it is you do to get your Zen on and be back fresh ; )
You're not having fun.
Take a break LL. You cant effect change if you're burnt out. Find something satisfying, gather yourself, be at peace with yourself. From there you can project outwards and change others. Right now you're kind of flailing and frustrated. Dont be. You have it in you to be a great motivator for peace. Many talents and insights. Close DP for awhile. Come back later. Best of luck LL
Thank you
But should I leave the site to the '12 wolves' who seem to have taken over it?
The '12 wolves' who keep on rating down my posts comments etc?
To the contrary.
They will leave or they will be removed.
I have never in my entire life gave up and I will not give up now.
The Daily Paul will once again be about Liberty and not censorship.
And it will once again stand for peace and not for war.
Mitt Romney folks will not take over this site.
How about the DailyRomney?
And how about the DailyWar?
Let them create these sites and stay there.
