The name of this site

Liberty Pastor Sun, 12/20/2015 - 02:48

With a grander view of time, I would like to suggest changing the name of the site to "Call To Liberty" (if available, if not, something similar). This would enable this site to continue no matter what happens to Ron or Rand Paul. If it is tied to a name, it will of necessity die a death like the Daily Paul and now Popular Liberty is experiencing. Liberty will ALWAYS be important and valid, A member of the Paul family may not. Things change and people change, but liberty never changes!

Posted the following in the wrong discussion forum.  So, here it is again.

I was never a member of PL or the DP but I found myself coming back to the PL site more and more.  So much so, that it actually became rather addictive once my eyes were finally opened about the reality of the political system we live under.  I say this as a very long time Republican who was totally buying into the BS for years and years. So, I want to say that if "I" can wake up, then I know there is reason for hope.  Also, Thimbleberry, thank you very much for this site and your hard work. I look forward to coming here again and again and further feeding my (good) addiction.

Wow thank and ...Welcome!

You know, I was a big time sleep walking sheep-person 8 years ago.   I've come to the realization that non of us should be ashamed of that. The massive media and public school  brainwashing is so  thick that its a rare person that is able to escape it.  I lurked at Daily Paul for a good year before I signed up so I'm glad you signed up here :o)

I was blocked from my account for reasons I still don't understand.  I complained about Nystrom shutting down the site and him either not selling it or allowing someone else to run it.  I felt like liberty was too important to risk scattering the users.  Of course, I did (and still do!) recognize it's his right to do what he wishes as it is his site. 

However, if it were my site, I'd still either sell or let someone else run it (even if I didn't want to) because the whole thing is "bigger than me".

A user there said "quit complaining and think about the positives.  It will open up opportunities for other sites to come up".  My feeling is that there was hardly saturation in the market and there's room for plenty more liberty sites.  I sarcastically said "would it be better if Ron Paul stopped speaking out for liberty because it would open up room for others to speak out in his place?"   I pointed out that it was the fallacy of the broken window to think like that.  Then I was blocked.  I still stand by my opinions though and I hope I wouldn't be blocked on ACTP for saying something like that. 

As Dr Paul said, we don't have freedom of speech to talk about the weather.

Man, I sure hope more orphaned DP'ers make it over here like you did!

Hope you have been well...it will be good to talk to you again. :)

Good to be back talking to like-minded people!  I have faith this is going to be the next generation DP/PL site.

It is bigger than any of us.  That was always the beauty of Daily Paul.  It was fueled by the people and their points of view rather than one particular person

I can't tell you how much I appreciate having another place to post liberty related stuff.  Very grateful that you put this together so quickly.  I feel like you are the logical extension to DP/PL.  I wish Michael let you just manage PL alive but we all have to move on. 

 

Thank you again very much for stepping up!

Thanks for building this and on such short notice!  Can I just ask as a general thing if you plan to keep this site open should it build a following similar to that of DP/PL?  (as opposed to Mike Nystrom's annual  "I'm thinking about shutting it down").

for any reason at all, I would pass it on to someone else to take care of.  People put so much work into a site and there is so much history and knowledge within its pages that its heartbreaking when it is lost.

So barring some catastrophic apocalyptic nuclear war, I'll keep it going.

It is so good to see that someone is willing to salvage the Baton from the garbage can and run with it and also be willing to hand it off to the next runner in the relay race towards Liberty!. :)

I'm devastated that the DP and PL are going away, but I'm heartened by the number of people who are stepping up to the plate with replacements.
