TO THE HOT-HEADS AND/OR INFILTRATORS OUT THERE

Here is a another plan of action that could be incorporated into the family of wheels.

STRATEGIC ACTIVISM:
Obviously RP has awakened a movement that has the potential to change this country for the better. The question now is - Where do we go from here?. Here is a concept that could harness the power of this movement and turn it into a force to be reckoned with. It's called - STRATEGIC ACTIVISM!

The basic concept is this: Instead of trying to educate the entire population of the US (which can still be an ongoing process), now start to focus the fire power of the movement on the legislative process and the specific bills that we want to become law.

For instance: RP's bill to abolish the FED must go through the legislative process of passing the required committees as it makes its way to the floor for a general vote. Let's say the committee has 15 members and RP needs 8 votes to get it passed. If he would post the names of the 8 people who need persuading, the ENTIRE RP MOVEMENT could focus all it's efforts and resources on getting those 8 votes. Pass that committee and we are on to the next.

STRATEGIC ACTIVISM could incorporate many of the same tactics as the lobbyists along with some our own like money bombs, massive email and phone initiatives - and, it could be implemented at the state level.

Here's the reality folks! We only have limited time and money and we are up against formidable opponents who have a lot more resources than we do. Therefore, if we are to make the best use of this movement - it's obvious that we need to work "Smarter - not Harder". If Strategic Activism was adopted by RP and the CFL, it could make a huge difference in bringing about the change we all seek!

Thank you for putting it back into perspective. One thing Ron Paul supporters have going for it is their insight, their intellect, their loyalty and commitment to liberty, truth and justice ( sorry for the line from 'Superman') Sometimes, comments get out of hand with personal and anonymous zeal for hatred and violence which is scary for any would-be advocates of Ron Paul philosophy. It is embarrassing sometimes that some comments can be misrepresented in their reflection of the movement.

Main Entry: vig·i·lan·te
Function: noun
Etymology: Spanish, watchman, guard, from vigilante vigilant, from Latin vigilant-, vigilans
Date: 1856
: a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate) ; broadly : a self-appointed doer of justice

Alan Greenspan has said the FED is above the law (as is its extortionist racket, the IRS). Given the lack of response of law enforcement, that certainly appears to be the case. History (as in the clear case of this word coined for it) shows us the result.

Our media invariably portrays Vigilantes as wrong, "mob justice" (Well, except maybe for "The Spoilers"). Yet the dictionary has a rather neutral view of it, don't you think?

Compared to the quotations from Jefferson and JFK posted here, we're all "Mr. Rogers".

Free free to correct me on the spelling of the last word?
Our Fore Fathers knew this Greek word very well.
It means,"mans contract/promise to God". Notice I said MANS contract with God and not Gods contract with man?
I found it interesting that the modern english translation is, Thanksgiving.
A time to remember God and be thankful for all his blessing. After all, we do declare ourselves to be a Christion ( Christ's-Men ) nation to all the world. Need proof? look at that coin in your pocket that reads, "in God we trust".

i am defiately for peace. but it takes ALL kinds. everyone has their roles. why must we label others- that is how separation becomes our downfall. i applaud everyone in whatever way they stand up for liberty. again, i am definately for peace, meanwhile people are being killed by the hundreds of thousands all over the world in the name of a democratic government and oil and drugs etc.etc. i acknowledge and accept all freedom fighters!

~peace

Bad Seed Lyrics
--- Metallica

Ooooh, bad

Yeah,
Come clean
Fess up
Tell all
Spill gut

Off the veil
Stand revealed
Show the cards
Bring it on, break the seal

Ladies and gentleman
Step right up and see the man who told the truth

Swing the noose again
Pierce the apple skin
You bit more than you need
Now you're choking on the bad seed
On the bad seed, chokin

Yeah
Let on
Load off
Confess
Cast off

At the mercy
The cat is out
Drop the disguise
Spit it up, spit it out

And now what you've all been waiting for
I give you he who suffers the truth

Swing the noose again
Pierce the apple skin
You bit more than you need
Now you're choking on the bad seed
Choking on the bad seed

Off the veil, stand revealed
Bring it on, break the seal
At the mercy, the cat is out
Spit it up, spit it out
Spit it up, spit it out
Spit it out now

At the mercy

Swing the noose again
Pierce the apple skin
You bit more than you need
Choking on the seed

Swing the noose again
Pierce the apple skin
Yeah, a bit more than you need
Oh, you're choking on a
Choking, choking, choking on the bad seed

Off the veil, stand revealed
Bring it on, break the seal
At the mercy, cat is out
Spit it up, spit it out
Spit it up, spit it out
Spit it out now

Choking on the bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad seed

So, it’s, in part, the old Nature/Nurture debate.

The Childhood Psychopath: Bad Seed or Bad Parents?

"fledgling psychopaths" who will become increasingly more dangerous as they get older. They might not become killers but they will learn how to manipulate, deceive and exploit others for their own gain. It is generally believed that they have failed to develop affectional bonds that allow them to empathize with another's pain. What they have developed are traits of arrogance, dishonesty, narcissism, shamelessness, and callousness.”

What Seeds Are We Planting ?

http://www.dailypaul.com/node/47924#comment-453833

So as this original post astutely points out, the question challenging us should be: What is the Nature to which our movement aspires? What standards do we wish to Nurture?

Remember Ron Paul's eloquent admonition in the New Hampshire Debate that our nation has now rejected the Just War Doctrine that goes back to St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. He was urging we once again embrace an appreciation of Natural Rights Theory and an understanding of Higher Law. Doesn’t this debate reveal how deeply in need we are of an understanding of the philosophical basis for the best of our western traditions? See : Neo-Conned: Just War Principles: A Condemnation of War in Iraq: also Neo-Conned Again, Vol. 2 ).
This discussion invites that we explore the Higher Law underpinnings of our country’s Constitutional heritage. The Founders well appreciated it as Natural to understand there is Law, Higher and Morally binding, which is Transcendent of temporal declarations in codes, rules or other governmental impositions.
See : http://www.worldandi.com/public/1994/may/mt5.cfm

Proposals for pre-emptive strike are always “…a bit more than you need”

“Spit it out now”

Ultimately, it’s not a problem of seed after all, but grows out of a deeply planted root, which once understood, might lead to more secure eradication:

“…the root problem is and always has been that most humans of all genetic lineages don't have a clear moral system that tells them it is not ok ever in any way to aggress against another human's person or property. Most people think it's perfectly ok to enslave and rob others if we do so as an organized mob. That opens the door wide to all who'd use that organization to cheat.”
