AMAZING SPEECH!

I so wish I watched this speech in full before watching Rand's announcement.

Yup, there is NO F'NG way in HELL Ron will endorse Mutt WRONGney!

100% ZERO chance!!!

Tom Woods knows what's up.

And all this hysteria riled up, particularly by Alex Jones, who's already propagating the meme that 'Rand is a 100% neoCon, is a complete sell-out' just because he met once with the neocon inner sanctum, which I thought it'd be obvious to AJ that it was a preemptive 'disarming' and 'keep your enemies closer'-type of deal.

while obviously, I 100% disagree with Rand's endorsement, worse his pledge to actively campaign on the road for Mutt WRONGney, which to me is unforgivable, but to lump Ron and Rand together, as if Rand is Ron's puppet or a drone is utterly simplistic. Not to mention equating "talked it over with my father" to mean 'scheming' or 'colluding,' as IF a son would drop such bombshell to a father who is also involved in the same 2012 Pres. election without letting him know.

Also, those who assume like AJ apparently don't 'get' that a 76year old septuagenarian, genteel country doc has a different sense of decorum and demeanor than his enraged 30-something self; that's the ONLY reason why he characterizes that we assert ourselves in Tampa, "respectfully."

That, DOES NOT MEAN to 'sit down and SHUT UP and take it!' as Alex likes to continuously harp. As Doc himself knows, we wouldn't even listen to him, even IF he himself told us to 'sit down, shut up & take it.' Also, the Doc knows us and respects us too much to ever DARE dictate how we 'should behave,' anyway.

And, don't know if y'all noticed the slight mischievous grin and glint in Ron's eyes every time Sean 'r3VOL snowball-phobia-ed' Insanity bitches and whines at him that we the R3VOL don't like Sean and how Ron should tell us to never ever chase his sorry arse down with snowballs ever again? Oh yeah, part of Ron is youthfully bemused that we'd do that.)

From that? My sense is that while he doesn't condone, he knows and accepts the reality that a little ruckus now and then is necessary and healthy, as long as it don't get over the line and blatantly violent.

So, to assume that Ron automatically agrees with Rand's decision, is naive, and ludicrous. Apparently AJ deludes there's no way in hell that Rand could possibly be completely different person than his dad.

Um, DUH??

Ron is a USAF veteran during Vietnam who saw and treated busted up bodies coming back limbless or in bodybag.

Rand isn't a veteran, nor has he seen first hand bodybags coming home, during war time with his own eyes.

Ron was born during the Great Depression, lived through years of FDR fascist govt enforced rations, and forged a lasting value of frugality and meagerness.

Rand as a Boomer, couldn't possibly know what that's like. By definition, ALL babies born after the Great Depression are de facto ALL 'spoiled' at least compared to their parents' and grand parents' living standards.

Ron has lived through EVERY important epoch in the 20th and 21st century, from being born DURING the Great Depression, living through it, the WWII, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam, JFK, MLK, RFK, MalcolmX, Nixon's Gold decoupling, Watergate, Iran Contra, Black Monday, BCCI scandal, Berlin Wall coming down, and every subsequent event to now thereafter. Not to mention, having personally met all Austrian greats, like Mises and Hayek, and personally being friends with Rothbard, along with, being in and out of Congress throughout a 40+ years watching ALL of evil govt machinations and military ind. complex NWO bankster corporatists' schemes to control it all.

Rand, has NONE of that in his resume.

To assume two individuals who are over 3 decades and irreplaceable life time of unique living history apart, would be the same, IS what is truly naive.

And while I 'get' that Alex as someone who has loyally defended, and financially supported Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul for over 17years, during his years of relative 'obscurity,' and feeling like he provided much needed publicity for him when RP couldn't get it from the MSM, that he feels entitled to an explanation. So, why doesn't he simply get Ron on, as he has over 200 times in the last 14 years, even if AJ's sole purpose were to directly confront him on Rand??

But instead, like a child, Alex is even going around telling his listeners that whenever Ron or Rand is on his show, his real time viewership numbers actually down a bit?

Now, THAT? Alex KNOWS is a LIE! There ain't a single show that Ron comes on, in which ratings DON'T get a spike.

So now, AJ's being purely childish and an emotive dolt, just to make a point.

I just hope Doc does address this issue soon and not have all of these internal factions within the Liberty Movement at each others' throats, and against the Pauls, lumped in together, unfairly.

He is the de facto titular head of the current phase of the American Liberty Movement. I 'get' that Doc may not view it that way, and by nature, is NOT a micromanager or a didactic individual. But, obviously, many see him as a leader, in the traditional sense, and require assurance, especially since he still expects us to follow through on the delegate strategy, which, for most Tampa bound RP delegates, NOTHING Rand or the likes of AJ said would've changed what they were gonna do anyway one iota. That said, for the sake of liberty cohesion, Ron HAS to address us directly on this issue, and soon. As unfortunately, while the post-Rand endorsement rage has settled down somewhat, it's rocked us to the core, and will not be repaired to a 'healthy' level with him seen in the same endearment, unless he does so soon.

Though, for me, personally, my support for Dr. Paul himself has NEVER been impacted by the RP2012 official campaign, Benton, Tate, Olson, Wead, or Fein or whatever AJ, Tarpley, or Adam Kokesh, or Penny Longford Freeman (whom Tom Woods personally vouches for her and 'gets' exactly the context under in which she said what she said and how she said what she said in Adam Kokesh interview) has said or asserted.

Ron is in a class of his own, and in context of my own personal worldview, short of something as infinitely IMPOSSIBLE like Monica Lewinsky occurring? Ron's place is secure, in my personal book.

I've ALWAYS seen Rand as a completely different person, as a republican with r3VOL tendencies, rather than a 'genuine' r3VOL with a Republican tendency, as those of us who are politically involved, often are.

But regardless, I cannot wait to have all this AJ riled up Rand hysteria blow over, and frankly, Rand will be seen as he'll be seen by the R3VOL as each of us will put it into our own context. Those who will continue to support liberty legislative efforts will, as most of us will, but may choose not to financially support him, which I personally will not unless something drastic changes like booting Olson, Tate, or a ginormous realization that all of this was part of some masterful 4D chess.

And, if anything, if you're like me, the only thing that Rand's recent episode did was to simply reminded me, was that this movement has ALWAYS been about the idea, the principles and philosophy of Freedom.

It was NEVER about any single man or groups of people. It's always been about the individual sovereignty, and message and philosophy that respects that reality, be the messenger be Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul, Rand, or ANYONE else be it our Austin BullDog whom despite all his flaws I still do not fault him for being who he is: info aggregator and disseminator, Adam Kokesh, Tom Woods, Molyneux, Lyman, or our Mayor Nystrom, or anyone in our R3VOLution for that matter.

It's always been about "an Idea whose time has come that cannot be stopped by ANY army or ANY govt!"
