Elitism is creeping into the Daily Paul

Each of us are our own free masters, we are a King by our own right, which is why the founders did not allow nobility titles, it would only lower our status.

Do queens and kings of other households argue? Of course! But we are united as one in order to keep our freedom, and not be slaves to another. We do take servants, they are our publics servants who give up nobility to protect us.

This is the way it should be. We must return to it. Elite? No, but I am a King, as it is the birthright of every American.

... I smell a rat. My headmaster used that word when describing the need for more socialist agendas ie helping the disadvanatged and those less fortunate or bascially pushing dumb kids through under the guise of fighting elitism.

I often use the word elites to describe our current tyrants because other words won't be politically correct.

The first amendment isn't defended by holding up a piece of paper, and it isn't crushed by tearing up a piece of paper.

I sometimes feel it's more like the adult has left the house (Ron Paul's Influence) and the kids are left home alone. (Us) and there is no more supervision or focus so all the kids bicker.

"Haha, it's kind of funny, we spend so much time fighting on these boards that we forget that we probably agree 97% of the time, it's just the 3% of the time that we REALLY vehemently disagree that colors the conversation".
from that point on,i see things a lot differently,and try to
remember we are all in this together
we should not be eating our own

Andy, I appreciate your post. However, some of your criticism is exactly why I love the DP. Yes, it might be annoying that some don't think that Rand is "pure" enough. Others love Rand. I read both perspectives.

Sometimes, I too, really like Rand, other times, he makes bad decisions. But as far as I know, there's only been one perfect man to walk the earth.

Yes, I also read your post below and know that you weren't necessarily referring to Rand. He's just an easy example.

The people who post and come to the DP probably would go elsewhere if there was only a monolithic perspective.

Finally, post more often. You already have 22 up votes!

purists?

Hmmm--

Not sure what is meant by 'elitist', because I'm using a 10 year old computer--

and my life is definitely NOT elite--:)

*wink*

...I've been through my own personal hell since joining this movement back in the fall of 2007(now, reaping what I've sown from my 38 years while in ignorance)....now, I'm going for broke talking to my smartphone and sharing my heart with you people....when: Matthew 12:34 happens ... "for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."

Unless there is a plan in place to stop the Israel-first Judeo-Christian ethicist ruse that blinds the Republicans that have been publicly educated that the faith of our founders is too brash, too black/white, psychologically harmful to children in it's tenets that say "do not" lie, cheat, steal, fornicate, compromise, keep company with immoral or amoral persons or organizations....then SOMEBODY ought to rise up and resurrect that standard fearlessly; because this nation's founding and subsequent prosperity that followed for the next 2 or 3 generations PROVED that the laws of Nature and of Nature's God where profitable unto all men in a free society that would laud them and willingly obey them in both their personal and public lives.

I could have waited until I was done reaping all that I've sown, in my past years(when I knew none of these things); but my spirit senses the urgency of the hour! We can't put it off until 2016, and hope the electorate realizes the mistake they made passing up on Dr. Paul twice...the PTB are digging in, and their apologists are distracting us until the troops arrive and take their posts!

We KNOW what it is we have to "throw off"; it's a matter of whether or not we have the COURAGE to call it what it is, while we're still FREE to express ourselves publicly...since we can't get past the neo-con talking heads' call screeners...

"I refuse to participate in the system, look how non-compromising I am!"

And I agree, but this is a political site and there will be trolls out there intentionally trying to disunite. Some times it's hard to distinguish between. Sadly it is just part of the -constitution- of things.....

I'm glad that we have debates about libertarian political/economic theory, but when they're over we need to all be on the same team.

I don't want someone that's on the downside of Libertarian to run as leader and I won't sit here quietly while some that promote those lesser Libertarian ideas speak up.

I am willing to die for my libertarian beliefs so a little arguing isn't that big of a deal.

I come here to communicate with like minded people and becasue RP is what lead to my awakening. Until we can figure out a way to get the criminals out of DC using some other method than particapting in a rigged voting system and return our country to its constitutional republic roots...I'll spend my time trying to spread the message of freedom and liberty...not waste it uniting people behind another campaign that has no chance against the moneychangers and multi-national corps that have turned our country into a corporate fascist state operating under some weird style of inverted totalitarian rule.

But, thats just me :)
