I really do hope that same essence can be captured here.  It is about fair treatment and mutual respect.  It's imperative that we have the freedom to say what we think about any given subject as long as we don't go after each other on a personal level just because we don't agree.  I know liberty people above all others understand how  to do this. 

I don't know Michael well enough to say what got him to where he's at.  I do know he's been done with all this for a good long time.  I was also one of those who found myself in a minority supporting Rand so I keenly felt the segregation. 

It's not that I want this to be an all Rand site per say.  Actually, the way I look at it is if a candidate like Trump or Carson says something in line with liberty then we should pat them on the back for that. 

But this is first and foremost a site about  promoting liberty ideas and freedom while exposing the erosion of our individual rights and the growing encroachments of government.  If a candidate isn't inline wit that, they shouldn't get much exposure on this site.  That being said, I wouldn't want to segregate anyone or make anyone nervous about posting something.  I think most people will "vote with their feet" and the successful articles will be the ones people want to read.

I think it's important if we want to grow this liberty movement beyond ourselves, then we do need to keep an upbeat, fun and cordial community  full of amazing discussions and respectful discourse.  People hang out where they feel they belong, can contribute, and are appreciated.  You know how many people are hungry for that?  I can't count that high

I was doing a google search on thr Republicans candidates, I seen  a Ron Pauls video and doing further search on Ron Paul it led me to the DP. I signed up to make a comment, and then I was hooked
