Freedom ends when you knowingly harm another. Ron Paul is making a strategic decision ushering for Sheldon. As a person of keen interest with the LP, I must be hyper vigilant in bringing an end to Ron. I love Sheldon's candor and freedom of thought, but to publicly associate myself with the likes of him is social suicide.
As for a New LP, I say current members need to first show as a force at the convention. When Paul speaks I'll use my freedom of speech to heckle the hell out of him. To take a stand that sure you get your right to say...but I get equal. I promise to hound him like a dog for attempting to bring down this necessary party!
