Brave man

It's about time Senator Paul.
Your Dad has been saying this for a year plus.

It's a great video. Articulate and on point.

I like Rand Paul better than the other senators.
It would be nice though to see all the Republicans saying this and doing that from the beginning. This has snowballed way past the point of no return. I'll give em cudos for speaking directly to the people what a lot of us have been saying, especially his Dad.

"Ron Paul uses Fox Business appearance to push conspiracy theory about a COVID-19 vaccine and Bill Gates
WRITTEN BY JOHN WHITEHOUSE

COMMENT

Ron Paul is, indisputably, a coronavirus conspiracy theorist. He used his latest appearance on Fox Business to push yet another such theory.

Paul has complained about the “coronavirus hoax” on his website and his Facebook page and about “vaccine tyranny” on his YouTube show. He’s pushed numerous conspiracy theories about masks as well. On June 16, he posted a video asking if a second wave of COVID-19 was “another coronavirus hoax.” On July 13, Paul posted a video suggesting that COVID-19 spikes in the sunbelt were just “a lot of hot air.” He doubled down on the narrative on July 21.

Despite Paul's history, Fox Business’ Stuart Varney hosted him on Monday morning, asking for his opinion on “America's response to the virus so far.” Paul used the opportunity to hint at another coronavirus conspiracy theory, saying it should make viewers “very nervous” that Bill Gates is investing in and talking about the effectiveness of a potential vaccine.

STUART VARNEY (HOST) You are a libertarian. You are a former practicing doctor — I know that, too. What do you make of America's response to the virus so far?

RON PAUL: I think it's sad. I like what Sweden did. You know, everybody wants — in America — wants to jump on Sweden for being these outlandish socialists, but they handled it better. They just ignored it and it ran its course. They had their problems, but they have had no economic consequences, but they didn't have a lockdown. And I think we went in the wrong direction and the people who were objected to it didn't get very much of a hearing. So there's been groups of doctors who have taken a different position — it should be more conservative, hydroxychloroquine should have been able to be used. Instead, astoundingly, something that's been around for 65 years and from my opinion, very safe drug and very effective, was literally taken off the market by the FDA. It makes no sense. It's sort of anti-libertarian. So, I think we went in the wrong direction. I think we're suffering more from it. And that's not to belittle the seriousness of this. It's a very serious thing.

But you know, the fanaticism on now on getting the vaccine I think is going to be a fruitless adventure because all you have to do is listen to Gates and it should make you very nervous. Well, we don't know when we're going to get it but we've already spent $9 billion on this and might need two shots — no, it might need three shots for this to happen. They admit it's only 50% to 60% beneficial. So I would say we're going in the wrong direction and that it's a coronavirus and it's sort of in the field of where the cold viruses are and you don't get good vaccines from this. So it's sad because the people who have done less have gotten a better benefit from it and there's a lot of — a lot people can do for natural immunity and I certainly emphasize that, but I also emphasize freedom of choice in not having certain treatments run down our throat by the government. I don't think the government should be in the practice of medicine. Central economic planning fails in economics; it fails in medicine, too, and I think that's what we are witnessing now. I think the economic consequence of lockdown is way out of proportion to what should have happened.'

Puckin' A!

Go Rand!

So the lines are being clearly drawn in the sand for the mid terms. Republicans are a bunch of racist, conspiracy nuts that are going to kill everyone with their ignorance. And Democrats are a bunch of liberty hating sheep that blindly follow Marxist tyrants. The stage for this theater is set. Should be entertaining.

I just hope Rand is around to help the people that take his advice, stand up the authorities and pay the price for it.

I do love the video though. I've been wanting someone of consequence to say that for awhile now.

the GOP should win the mid term elections by a huge margin, but damn if they aren't screwing the pooch with their (normal) unwillingness to engage the liberals. They don't have to even DO anything, just TALK like they WOULD do something, and they have the election won.

I think you’re missing the point. He’s talking to the people that don’t ask for, need or want someone’s help. They want the govt to get the fugk out of our lives and go back to serving it’s limited purpose.

Fugk the GOP. We need a new party. The GOP will continue to stab us in the back time snd time again.

Right. But did everyone forget that elections are now tainted and "they" count the votes? And that the courts are not interested?

How many more times are people on here going to tell us to vote them out? Are you kidding??

The bottom line for me is that this next election is about liberty vs tyranny. For people like us, it has ALWAYS been about that. But topics have arisen, even with censorship attempts, that give many groups of people a tangible perspective on that theme that their limited paradigms never contemplated before. In layman's terms, schit's getting real for some people for the first time in their engineered lives.

I think he's casting a pretty wide net with his call to action. If a bunch of people do it, it will collapse, but they'll try to make some examples of people early on.

Wonder if the democrats have chosen his Arkancide date yet?

It’s about time, I’ll stand with him on this issue.

It’s way past time. We should be standing up to all of their bullshit. Liberties stolen, elections stolen, constitution trampled on. They are fuggen out of control!




Take care, Willie

The other reason why this approach is ingenious is because he's defining liberty as rebellious. Young people love to rebel. People naturally don't want to be told what to do. And the Democrat Party is the organization telling you what you have to do. We've known that for decades but so many people have been brainwashed into believing the opposite. But these mandates are something people cannot ignore. They're in their lives and in their faces (literally). The media can't censor the mandates, and one party owns them. Let's hope these issues become so tangible so as to be a wake up call to the drones in their brainless malaise.

I went to twitter to see what people are saying.

Its about 50% personal attacks from leftists and people calling him a hero

He struck a nerve, usually the leftists shout everyone down on twitter.

I'd say this was pretty calculated. I wish I had thought to watch the national news to see if it was getting any national heat.

That raises another issue we have to defeat somehow. Half the attacks from the Leftists are probably from people whose job it is to fabricate a reaction reality on social media. We'll see how it plays out.

I wish SnotRocket and hatari had the same level of balls.

LOL

Nope. The Commie Socialist Fake News Media never even mentioned it. It was all about how bad the “Delta Variant” is.
Just their usual Propaganda Bullschitt. 😡

Senator Paul has his strong points. Like most men, he is probably coming around to realizing that his father was right.

Except for the crazy part. That has to be filtered.

Your counting on LOGIC to prevail.
DemoRat’s don’t vote with logic. They vote their touchy-feely emotions. The Commie Socialist Brainwashed DemoRat’s will fall in line with the Mask & Vaccine Mandates because Fauci and the idiot Biden tell them to. Young folks today are only interested in Video Games and being “Woke”.
Not to mention the fact that the Left will use all this to implement all mail in voting. So they can steal the upcoming Elections.

Mail in voting my azz, by the time the election rolls around they’ll have phone in voting.

Actually, brother, I was thinking more in terms of the opposite of logic, which is why as you alluded to, I think the approach may be different. Rand’s argument seems logical to us on it’s merits. But his tactic in this approach could appeal to the left for non logical reasons. Appeal to their sense of rebellion. Link the Democrat Party to lack of free will. Create a feeling of resentment towards them…

Twitter Facebook and Amazon will host virtual voting platforms

I agree with what he said,It's time to start really pushing back.But it can't be done with one man,it has to be millions & millions of people across this whole country to say no more and refuse.

I hear ya. 😬
But when DemoRat’s here its a suggestion from a Republican, they’re only response will be Impeach him. Or arrest him.
Just like their response to anything President Trump suggests.

You can talk and vote until you are blue in the face, but stop spending money at places that are in lockstep with the official narrative, stop working for the woke companies, and it will all crumble.

It’s ALWAYS about the money. And if Google loses 5% of their talent due to vaccine mandates, they will lose their competitive edge in the market. If Walmart loses 5% of their sales, they are on the brink of disaster.

It’s ALWAYS about the money.

Clearly the goal sure be to get behind any effort to tighten voting laws wherever possible in individual states that are trying to mitigate the same crap we saw in the last election. The mid terms would require a widespread replication of what we saw.

Having declared their freedom, the American patriots had to win it in battle. By signing the Declaration of Independence, the delegates were putting their lives on the line. If they were to lose the war for independence, then the British government would execute them in a very painful and nasty way. Thus, although we do not know if Benjamin Franklin actually said, "we must all hang together, or ... we shall all hang separately," it is likely that that idea was in the minds of the delegates that day in July.

You all have the freedom to walk in front of that bus speeding down the street because you believe those white lines that make up the cross walk will somehow magically protect you.

" It is easier to fool people that it is to convince them they have been fooled" SC or MT

What Rand Paul is asking you all to do is pick up a gun you may find somewhere, put it to your head and pull the trigger.

You first.

I’d love to see a push back, but I believe it is unlikely to happen. Unfortunately, this government seems to be in control. I’m long past tired of this crap.

But the Media can and does censor the Data.

They along with the CDC are right now as we speak, lying about FL and the true Covid numbers, in order to smear DeSantis and brand him as a killer with his freedom first, family first policies.

I disagree with you,You can follow CDC if you want to live your life with a Diaper on your face.You can take the Vaccine which really isn't a Vaccine if you want.That's ok with me and millions of others.But when the CDC the Government and Brainwashed people start trying to force people to take this so called Vaccine they going too far.I will pushback till the end,i have never taken a Flu shot and have no plans to start being a Lab Rat for the CDC or the Government.I'm with Rand Paul all the way and hope millions & millions decide it's time to take our country back.

It is rather perplexing isn't it, after what we all have seen, heard and now know about our election process, intelligent people continue to believe we can vote our way out of this.

You're losing, dude. Fun to watch your brains sink.

^^^^ THIS ^^^^ AGREED

Sent letters to my 2 "Republican" Senators yesterday. Told them my family will not be supporting them if they don't get off their ass, and that if they don't, we will be campaigning to replace them come election time.

My SUV has a big back in it with the seats folded down. I can get a lot of advertising material in there.

There are lots of things that can be done. My wife works for a company that is mandating masks. She gets sinus infections and bronchitis, that sometimes goes to pneumonia very easy. The masks don’t help. Communities could do an awful lot by just not shopping in these places and showing them that they’re pissed off about them forcing people to do things. Same with corporate America mandating shots. They are making back room deals, and carrying the government’s water. We can hurt them in their pockets. Not only by not buying their products. But a nation wide walk out. If they want to threaten you with your job over the shot. Let the sons of beeches see what it’s like to have no one to run their chit show.




Take care, Willie

Good message from a good man.

I wish we had a Rand Paul.

England's former colonies are returning to the status of "Penal Colony"
if we don't adhere to the Founding documents we are lost..

LOL

I guess the same thing is true about Obama, AOC, Talib etc since they're all ignoring the mandates. Well at least when they think they're being watched.

Rand Paul is just another fake news mis-information provider.

I will do what I think is right for me and mine and I expect you will do the same for yours.

I respect your right to not wear a mask or take the shot. Do what you think is best for you.
Even though we disagree I hope you don`t get sick with any version of covid.

That's Rand Paul's position, lol.

So, in one statement you’re saying not getting a vaccine or not wearing a mask or sending your kid to school is pointing a gun at a head and pulling the trigger. But then you say you respect people’s right to decide for themselves. LOL.

His basic premise is how I look at the gun control they want to force on us. 450 MILLION guns in circulation ( that we know of...)

They can't come after them all.

They can't arrest us all.

If a business asks you for a vaccine status, tell them they don’t have the right to know your health care information under HIPPA.

If they ask you to wear a mask, tell them you have a religious objection. If they ask about your religion, tell them they don’t have the right to know your religious information.

Stop reading more into what I said. Go twist someone else's words and I stand by my word that Rand Paul is a purveyor of fake news and mis-information.

And yes he is asking you to pickup up that gun, put it to your head and pull the trigger.

If you take Rand Paul's advise some of you will not be here in 2022/2024 to try to vote in the next batch of corrupt leaders.

Just do as you please because you all know that it is about your freedom to catch a disease and spread that disease because you and others can`t be bothered to the the simplest of precautions. But I suspect you or most of you figure this is a fake.

TMI

I'd call it standing firm for our rights. We aren't sheep. Rise up, O men of God. Your country awaits you. If your liberty is at stake it is due to our tacit approval of the left's evil intent by doing nothing until it appears to be coming to our front door.

More a matter of not giving up what is already ours to protect. And, protect we should with everything we have.

I was going to leave but if you want to play this game I will stick around for a while longer. We can see who has the best insults.

Rand Paul is another piece of excrement passing mis information and outright lies.

For you and those that believe the big lies.

ENJOY !
