Total Chaos Around Here!
The conspiracy theories and TROLL Mongering has done me in. When I first found this site I found it full of good information and very helpful for a new RP Revolution member.
Somewhere between the conspiracy theories, the troll patrol, and the 5 different march dates the message of the revolution seems to have been lost. Why is there so much attention paid to such trivial things like who has been here longer and who flags who when we are facing such a critical turning point in our nations history?
While we all want to see Dr Paul win the election, he has said many times that it is not him but his message that brings us together and he's right. I am glad to have been introduced to Dr. Paul and his message of freedom. I will continue to fight long after this election has passed whether Dr Paul wins or not. Let's not forget why we all came to this site in the first place. THE MESSAGE OF FREEDOM!
Stay Grounded.
Not to mention...
...8 or 10 threads on the same subject, as lots of people create their own, probably hoping to be the one that hangs around longer. That to me is what really makes this place a bit of a sloppy turnoff sometimes. There can be a thread called March on Washington, and instead of commenting in that one, people set up their own, and soon you can't follow what's going on, it's a mess.
But that's ok if DP is a drag at times. Hopefully it will cause people to look up from their keyboards occasionally. There's a big world out there. We would all do well to spend some time in other candidates' forums, and teach them about RP. Not much point preaching to the choir. And then for the truly advanced, actually spend time to talk to another human in person.
Eh
It happens to pretty much ALL community networks. When they reach a certain size the signal to noise ratio drops to zero.
I like XKCDs suggestion, an intellligent filter that only allows new ideas, never repeats.

OK OK, 'nuf said
This is all part of education, exchanges among intelligent people, open discussions, disagreements and all!
It's the way we grow and expand.
What I don't like is the negativity. Everything can be discussed in a constructive manner, and dissing others viewpoints is counter-productive.
Slamming freedom and Ron Paul here is not acceptable - you are on the wrong site. And we flag these and get rid of them.
Freedom is always about everyone's right to express their opinion w/o being belittled.
This is how we GROW in education, and LEARN from each other.
I have gained so much value from these posts. Input supported by it's source is the key!
WE are not manufacturing consensus
We are the people. Ron Paul Nation. We love you, at least the Ron Paul nation illuminati, those of us with riches we want to share and never hoard. Riches of the mind, of the back, of the feet and hands. We are your family, please don't judge us. We are conservative republicans that also stand on your planks.

Seriously,
If you can't take the theories, call them opinions, does that make it better? If you don't like them just move on to the next post. We all have different views, but the beliefs are the same when it comes to our liberties. Just deal with it, I am, I have no problems, people like to make conversations and get ideas. Its not a new concept.

Yawn
What's "doing me in" are all the people who are being done in and making grand exclamations on their way out.
This is what happens when you promote freedom of thought. You get thoughts you don't like. You get behavior you don't like. You are more than free to go elsewhere.
I'm leaving! I mean it this time! I really mean it! Someone better talk me out of it or I'm gone!
Just go. Bye.

Agreed, Realist
"I hate everything you stand for, but i will defend to the death your right to say it."
You're absolutely correct. Do not forgot we're defending freedom here Scooby. it's not just the freedom of those with like opinions, but dissenters as well. You are always just as free to disagree with, or to ignore, what you don't like, that is the American way. Just remember, you do not have the right to silence another, no one does, not ever. That is the truth. So if you just can't tolerate the melting pot, then maybe you should just leave and wait for the NeoCons to chip you.

Yes
I agree...
from what I've seen
You will never accomplish what you are after because you are all just too nice all the time. This is no place for nice ! Do you realize who you are going up against? these people will slit your throat before they ask you what your name is ( literally ). You need to be able to takethat same stand to fight for what you believe in.
They have no conscience and if you do in this you will lose. The difference is the motive. They want money and power and you want freedom.

Stop the NWO....It's just illumi..Naughty !
Being hostile with your
Being hostile with your allies is not a good
idea. We need to talk intelligently and
respectfully with each other to figure what
needs to be done, and how to do it.
And yes, this enemy is all you say and much
much worse than that.
Line breaks?
No need to add line breaks -- the site does it automatically.

It's an old habit from my years of
graphic design experience. A shorter
line is easier to follow than a longer one.
Go Ron Paul!
I agree
It is tough sometimes to get into an intellectual conversation. There is alot more people on here so that should be takin into consideration. But it is definitely a mess.
First. We are supposed to think that we can win by becoming delegates.
Second: We want to march and Dr. Paul says three or four months away. After the voting is all but done. Why?
Third: The election is not about the election. It is about the revolution and supporting other candidates and continuing to fight on. Huh? Since when?
Fourth: When is the next Money Bomb date? Is Paul still campaigning? Can WE WIN JUST ONE STATE? Donations have plummetted since RPs letter a few days ago.
Fifth: I am sick and tired about hearing about Truthers. It is devisive and can only hurt us. If you are a Truther then be a Truther. But if you are a Truther and want to go to a Ron Paul rally, KEEP YOU TRUTHER STUFF HOME. I myself am a Truther. But Dr. Paul said that he doesn't want that stuff mixed with his name. I agree. I go to PrisonPlanet and read Rense to inform myself on the Truther movement.
Sixth: If we keep gettin pummeled how many of us will be left in 3 or 4 months? I see a lot of people dropping out from this site. However, I am in contact with my meetup group. The meetup groups seem to be the lynchpin that keeps us together. Not this site.
Seventh: I have no IDEA where all of this is going. At all. I know we have a March in a few months. What are we doing to win state? Shouldn't we all concentrate on some state and descend upon it with all of our information? It seems like a waste of time squabbling over trivial stuff?
Just some thoughts. Go ahead and rip me a new one if ya want. It seems like the regular around here.
Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?
12 hours later, no improvement
THings look the same 12 hours after this thread went up. Sigh. Why are the "truthers" trying to ruin this place?
