I really don't want to add
I really don't want to add to the debate, but I thought I would throw this in:
Anarchy CAN NOT EXIST! Yes, you can have anarchy in the sense of no "official" government, but as soon as government disappears in the official sense, it will reappear in many other unofficial ways, be it neighborhood watch type groups, mafia groups, camps, city government, etc. etc. Government of some form will always exist until there is just one man left, and who knows maybe he will put rules on himself?
Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice.

I was there...
I hung out with Lew and Ron. It was a great night. You wouldn't know the home owner or anyone else there...
Just my 2 cents
While I don't care who supports Dr. Paul, as long as they support him and his message of peace and freedom, I think he needs to stop dropping those little mentions of "anarchists" into his speeches. I just started reading the Lew Rockwell piece and noticed it mentioned again.
I think that is something that is completely unnecessary and may send a mixed message. Anarchy is not Revolution.
I think most anarchists
actually adhere to a system more accurately defined as "rational anarchy". Take a look and see if it gives you a better understanding.

And unless you want to kill several hours of your life forever..
never, ever get a debate started between an anarchist and a minarchist... It rages on forever, and neither is wrong nor right so it is impossible for the debate to ever end...

I guess your new to libertarianism... :)
Anarchists believe in the absence of state power, not in chaos or unruly behaviour. Many in the Libertarian party are anarchists, minarchists, ancaps, etc....
I used to self classify as an anarchist, later as a Libertarian, and finally as a Republican because that was easier to explain to people and fit more closely with my beliefs than Democrat...
I am currently a Republican by registration, Libertarian after the primaries, but an anarchist at heart....
Some of the greatest thinkers in the world have been anarchists or had anarchist sympathies.
The fact that RP mentions us kinda makes me happy... He is acknowledging many things by doing so... It is the equivalent of the Democratic Party acknowledging their far left socialists.
Basically, when he makes those references, he is refering to a core base that has been forgotten... What party do you think anarchists vote in if they pick one of the two biggies? Republican...
There was a quote I liked, not sure who said it? Someone please fill in the blank for me, since I heard it here... it was when he was asked if he was an anarchist, "No, but I am on their side."... :)

Any idea
how much money we raised there last night?
Viva Revolution
To what extent have we been duped by the media ,perhaps there are even more supporters than we imagined but just in case I have decided to put in even more effort from here on out ,we must take this country back , if I don't do everything I can to help this campaign I won't be able to live with myself .I sincerely believe this is our last chance at a peaceful resolution .
I think
that there are a lot more of us out there than you think... / a lot more who have heard about him BUT won't vote for him because they don't think he has much support. Unfortunately its how politics work. People want to be associated with a winner.
Thus we must increase our already tireless efforts and campaign even harder for Ron Paul
Hey Lew!
OK Lew, now tell us, who's celeb house hosted the party?
"Successful Men in Their 30s" as RP Demographic
Notice that "successful men in their 30s" are for RP.
That is huge.
This demographic went for George Bush in 2004. They are presumed to be going for Giuliani now.
Great article
It is nice to see that Dr. Paul conversed with the physically handicapped kid and also signed his shirt while Willard "Mitt" Romney turned and walked away from a similar event on the issue of medicinal marijuana.
Dr. Paul you made us all proud last night as you alwyas do !!!!
GREAT JOB !!!!!!
"Freedom is a right that can never be won in war,only by each individual "
Hollywood SHOULD be behind Ron!
The fact that Leno, Cruise and others are open and cordial to Ron shouldn't surprise us given they are and would continue to be affected by the restriction of personal liberties and future "thought police" dictating what they say, what movies they make, etc.
Hollywood needs to wake up to the ONLY champion for THEIR freedoms!
You are absolutely right!
You are absolutely right!
Love these behind the scenes articles.
Great, read. Thank you for posting!
Anyone have video of this?
It's always encouraging to see the crowds come out for Ron Paul!
It's amazing how those spam
It's amazing how those spam bots materialize into human form to show up at events.
I LOL'd.
I LOL'd. :-)

Ha ha ha ha ha!
Indeed, we're always a small group of crazies. It can never be a real movement, I mean politicians HAVE to be slimy and have positions that are given to them by political consultants.
A real honest man, trying to do what he honestly believes???!!! A madman apparently!!!
Neat
Glad to hear Rockwell is actively stumping.
Veep?
I think Lew would make a good running mate.
5% of people make things happen
10% of people watch things happen
85% say "What happened?"
