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.

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.

I don't use FB and I wouldn't want to promote it (though I totally understand having to use stuff like that against itself).

I don't think Ron Paul goes out of style.  He's an icon and it's all about what he represents.

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").

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.

First of all, let me say "thank you". I was beginning to feel like a bit of an orphan. Sorry Michael, we still love you.

Those of us from the DP have known for years about the so-called "bubble". Funny how the mainstream are just now picking up on it. Tried to tell family and friends about the real estate bubble back in 2005. You should have seen the looks I got. I could feel the lobster claws emerging from my ears.

Have had the same warning....

Would like to add that when I am on the home wall. The page keeps shifting slightly up and down.Not being a nit picker, just trying to help you with unforeseen bugs.

Oh and lolol, is there a way to increase a video size if the video does not have a place already on the video to increase the size. Just watched the one Rand on CNN this morning and there was no way to make it larger.

Thanks for the site and your hard work.

The top stories scrolling banner on top should be fixed size since it keeps moving the content below up and down and is irritating when you are trying to read something.

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.

I think all should feel welcome.  Hopefully the tone of the posts will convey that its not about conforming to one candidate or another.

Ron Paul is a modern day founding father.  But also, as this is a communication site geared toward spreading the ideas of liberty and freedom and trying to remind people what that means, I see it as we all are modern day Paul Revere's, waking everyone from their slumber and Calling everyone "To Arms".

In the end, whether people think it represents Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Paul Revere, John Paul Jones, or Paul Simon  is not something I can control or want to.  But to me, it instantly makes me think of the work and message of a modern movement of liberty.
