• Info/Map

RSVP limit Only 20 members (including guests) can RSVP 'Yes' or 'Maybe' for this Meetup. There's still room for 18 more.
Who? 2 members have said Yes

I don't see two locations listed on here and this is directly off their site.

But someone said on this thread that they thought it was in Silver Sands, per a decision at the last meeting. That came up because I questioned the SoWal meetup taking place in south Okaloosa.

He may shun money from big business, but if what you see on the internet is true, lol, then he will take money from just about anyone who is warm and still breathing.

Who do the other candidates accept money from? I am pretty sure taking money from big businesses and lobbyists comes with an "I'll give you money if you'll..." Should all big businesses and lobbyists make the decisions for us the individuals?

Not fully.

The civil war was state's rights vs. federal rights. (Slavery, I am sorry to say, only came into play as a battle tactic.) The union was for the union trumping the state, the confederacy was states trumping the union. Thus, as the name implies a confederacy of states, allied but not ruling over each other. All the examples you have given could, and many have, been argued at one time or another to be covered by the state and by the feds. The constitution, as in the case of slavery, was amended in order to cover the issue.

I agree that slavery was used as a tactic in the War, and not the cause of the War. As I understand the War, it was not a true Civil War, because in a Civil War, you have at least two opponents fighting for the supreme power of the others. The confederacy of states wanted to separate from the north, not rule over them.

I don't think most freedom fighters believe that their freedoms shouldn't be limited when they begin affecting other people's freedoms. I believe that most understand that there is a give and take, although there are some fruit loops out there.

I am really having difficulty in seeing ways in which returning some powers from the Feds to the States, would harm us in any way. In fact, I think it might give us more of a freedom to choose the rules, by moving to other states which might better suit our lifestyle or political and social beliefs. Depending on a few States' rules, it might make college football games more exciting. Help me think of some examples of how returning the powers to the States would be a bad thing.

This is what was said:

I think they just decided to change at the last Destin Commons meetup. I didn't go, my wife did, so I'm repeating 2nd hand info.

This was second hand information. What I posted was directly off their website. If someone heard second hand information about repairing a broken oven and without checking the manual broke it worse, that would be the individuals fault not the informations fault.

Okay, so I guess it would not be bad to advertise a RP meetup at a location in which no one is going to show up. I am sure that will go a long way toward increasing his support.

If Ron Paul does not enter the presidential race as a third party candidate (maybe) or win the Republican nomination (highly unlikely), I will probably not be voting.

Did you hurt yourself jumping to that conclusion?;-)

I sincerely apologize for any any confusion I may have contributed! My wife and sometimes have communication difficulties; you know "the rocks in my head fit the holes in her head" thing. We have confirmed and reconfirmed that the meetup is NOT at Silver Sands but at Destin Commons as listed on meetup.com. Nouns and pronouns are often interchangeable in my wife's vocabulary and I should have known to run the comment through my "filter" before passing on anything. MY BAD!

Okay then. Let me confirm something just for my own clarification, you see, I am easily confused on these issues.

The next Ron Paul Meetup for South Walton County will be held in South Okaloosa County. If this is true then I believe that makes my first post correct, or maybe just slightly correct, there are no South Walton County Meetups being held in South Walton County.
