Going to go to San Antonio and hear the good doctor speak about liberty and all those little things we all take for granted. It should be a packed house and pretty epic. I will take pictures and report back. Sooooooooooooo, excited.

Love,

As a longtime independent, who votes Democrat 90% of the time and disgusted with both of the parties right now, I really like Ron Paul. All the other Repulican candidates I can't stand and I've regretted voting for Obama in 2008. If Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination (sadly, likely) I'll either write him in, vote for Gary Johnson (if he wins the Libertarian Party vote), or not vote for a candidate at all (still vote on issues on the ballots).

Turned out to be an awesome little gathering. The absolute wonderful variety of persons that hail from all walks of life, was truly inspirational. One of his keynotes in the speech was the notion that if people are truly able to be enjoy liberty and the freedoms that arise from it, you are able to live in any manner and lifestyle you may choose, and with this no person may require or or group can take away you right to pursue happiness in any way that you so choose. This guy really is in the race for the right reasons, and that is something that makes me believe that he will run on a platform exactly as he has proposed if he is elected the POTUS in 2012. he energy was great too.

Ron Paul has a long enough consistent track record that I believe him when he says he's for something. Which is different than any other politican, who I believe to be lying most of the time just to get votes.

Ron Paul does seem to have voluntarist learnings, if he's not actually a voluntarist, which I am. Despite the Repubs saying they're for "small government", he seems to be just about the only one who has small government stances.

There are things that I don't agree with Ron Paul. He's the only candidate who speaks against the funding for wars, militarism, and troops getting out of Iraq an Afghanistan. That I agree on. Paul won't win but I will vote for him.

This particular voting is over but there's another one in fives. This is where independents can team together and make an impact. About 48-49 percent of registered voters are independent, libertarian, right to life and other parties. We're not organized. If all parties can find 4 or 5 things they agree on and put their egos and ideologies aside, then we can made an impact on the country. One thing is certain: I will never vote for a Democrat or Republicn again. My vote is too precious.

So wha's so great about Ron Paul? Or Libertarian candidates?

Serious question, no cynicism. ^_^

You have to discover that for yourself, he has numerous books out; End the Fed Liberty Defined The Revolution: A Manifesto The Case for Gold

A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship

All are great and will give you a great insight as to what the movement is about. You may decide that you don't like Ron Paul too, and that's ok also. I personally don't agree with everything RP believes in, but why I believe him as a politician is that his ideals are true, he is not for sale.The one thing that makes him great though, is that he does not, and neither do true libertarians, is that you can not enforce morality through the government upon it's citizens. Under this philosophy as long as you don't cause harm to others you are free to achieve happiness in any way you see fit. Also as a younger person in this country I realize that our Government cannot continue to print money and create debt, it's going to fail and the ones whom benefit from it now are not going to be around any longer so they will leave it to the next generation to deal with the mess. I could go on all day , if you want to know more PM me and I will tell you all about it.

Hmmm.

Unfortunately Dr. Paul and I agree on many key issues (foreign policy, acceptance of responsibility for 9/11, many social/domestic stances,) but there are also some very serious issues where he loses me. Between his pro-life stance, his disproven efficacy on economic policy and his die hard Ayn Rand/deregulation/free market without restrictions dedication I just can not support him.

And this coming from someone who voted for him in 08

In my opinion, it's a matter of issues that one takes to heart and the prospective of the success of said issues with the candidates at hand. My person issues are right here...

For:

Repeal of DOMA

Equality, We're Americans, we deserve the same damn rights as every other American.

Successful rejuvenation of the Economy AND the Job Market.

Against:

Any Law which prohibits a Woman's Right to do whatever they wish with their body.

MY EXPLANATION: I will never be in a position in which I sincerely have to make that choice. I was NOT born with a womb. If I indeed ever impregnated a women against their desires

(never happened), I still would never have ANY form of ownership of their bodies... their dreams... their desires nor their hopes of their future life.

So... Therefore... I choose to allow a Woman to DO AS THEY CHOOSE.

Some say that you have to pick your battles.

Yea... ok. I reserve the right to choose what I'm going to cry over at night. And it surely would not be the future life of a previous lover.

I sincerely think that if you do NOT have a womb, you should just STFU on that whole political affair. Let the people who it would really make a difference battle that one out. REGARDLESS OF YOUR RELIGIOUS/MORAL CONVICTIONS.

No Womb = no vote on that subject.

Uhm... Other than that... Get rid of the EPA regulations on car emissions. Especially in Cali. I have an old Dakota just screaming for a 360 with a 6 pak and stacks sticking through the hood in my dreams. With a sweet House of Kolor purple metalflake with some medium and light blue flame airbrush work. And a TCI Street Dominator Transgender bolted to my 9" posi,,, Yea, I'll bust my nails to see the faces on the people as I drive that TS Truck down the boulevard....

Sorry. I guess the historic but true US Navy Flag comes into play in my heart.

Don't Tread on Me.

Hey Micha-

I've started to write about this a few times, but haven't posted, since I'm not quite sure how to explain why I like Ron Paul without writing a long novel. I guess why I like Ron Paul and libertarian ideas is because it gets back to allowing for people to run their own lives as they see fit (government not imposing morality on people), so the maximum freedom for people without condoning actual violence. It's also trying to keep government from doing things that would be considered evil if you and I do them, but are for some reason people say is fine when governments do them.

What really got me thinking is the Zero-Aggression Principle. It got me questioning when is something truly evil and when is it just something that I may find morally wrong. It also got me questioning like I was saying above, why is it okay for government to do something, when it would be considered evil if a non-government person did it.

Yea the biggest thing I disagree with Dr. Paul on is his refusal to use federal law to protect minority groups... he uses the excuse "it should be up to the states" just a bit too much for me. I mean isn't the federal government supposed to be there to make sure there isn't mob rule and that the states aren't violating peoples rights? Also just because he is pro life doesn't necessarily mean that he wants to stop women from getting abortions... again he would rather just "leave it up to the states" which I think is BS.

I do however support the majority of his fiscal, monetary, and foreign policies (non interventionism isn't the same as isolationism btw). I think he is absolutely right in wanting to eliminate the federal reserve and the IRS. If the federal government operated within its bounds and actually did its job, it would be a lot smaller and therefore would take significantly less tax dollars to operate... tax dollars that should be coming from corporations and import tariffs not the american worker.

Anyway considering the economic issues our country is facing I think he is the best candidate running so I support him... but no politician will ever view things exactly the way we do, so getting close is the best we can do most of them time.

The political process has lost my faith, but guys like this kinda scare me. He seems to get people on social issues, but maintains a deregulation, "free" market economy, something completely unsustainable, and incompatible with freedom and equality. It also seems that the connections between social issues and economic issues are rarely drawn, and so politicians can gain support by emphasizing the mainstream issues, without addressing the deeper issues that feed all others. The deregulated private economy lead to the great depression as well as this current mess, but welfare state run economics failed to fix the systems problems, and just cleaned up the mess a bit in the 30's, but it all came apart in the 70's. The cycle will continue for as long as we survive, unless the underlying problem is removed - minority of for profit capitalists with a majority of the power.

I don't see any candidates who are willing to take on that issue. The mainstream issues aren't unimportant, by any means, but I feel they're used to keep people's attention off of the way capitalists are exploiting the majority of this country's people, milking them for profit and keeping them weak and ignorant. From what I've heard and read about Ron Paul's economic and financial stances, I worry. Diminishing the government is one thing, but if you don't break up big business first, we still won't be free, we'll just be ruled by boards of directors instead of an executive/legislative/judicial branch.

I don't think I can be won over by this one.

I'm pretty annoyed with the the way the GOP treated Ron Paul in the convention. They weren't going to get my vote if RP wasn't the nominee anyhow, but I'm pretty annoyed. How can you say you have morals when you change the rules in the middle of the game, which I can't see any reason for doing so other than keeping Ron Paul out?

I'm voting for Gary Johnson. While I like Obama's stance on LGBT things, his policies on war, keeping the "patriot" act, and many other things there's no way I'm voting for him.

Getting a liberty president in there was an extemely long shot. With Ron Paul retiring, there's maybe a couple of people from either the Dems or Repubs I'm even remotely liking; Kuscinish on the Dems, possibly Rand Paul on the Repubs side.

Whoops. Realized my punctuation wasn't good, so it made it different than I intended to. What I meant to say:

"I'm voting for Gary Johnson. While I like Obama's stance on LGBT things, there's no way I'm voting for him because of his policies on war, keeping the "patriot" act, regulation, and many other things."

Gennee's got that right!

Ron Paul is Da Man, though; however, it doesn't matter.

When Obama won in 2008, I knew he wouldn't do much, simply because he can't. Nobody can. Presidents, kings, queens, prime ministers, et cetera, take orders and, believe me, do EXACTLY what they're told to do ... or else. Think President Abraham Lincoln and President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Step out of line and counter the real masters' agenda aggressively enough, and you're toast.

When I was about age 15 (that would have been in 1970 sometime), I clearly saw that NATIONAL voting does not REALLY matter. The presidents, et cetera, who get elected are there to make people THINK they have a choice and a say (they do not) and take the blame when things go against the public's wishes (to deflect blame from the real perpetrators). Heads of state are there for show ... period. I've never voted and pride myself on the fact.

If you think things are going to change and get better in America (and elsewhere), they're not. The worldwide police state is rising at an ever-accelerating pace. No? If you're in the U.S.A., do you know about the FEMA Camps and the Regional Fusion Centers? Ever heard of The Georgia Guidestones? Google search 'em.

Nothing less than a complete transformation (and a very rapid one) in consciousness in the masses will effect any change in The System. The Powers That Be are doing EVERYTHING they can to prevent that from happening.

Just my opinion.

However, yes, Ron Paul rocks! Love the guy!

Peace & Joy :thumbsup: Lacey Lynne

You get my vote! BTW, I love to hear a sister gear head post! Greasy pink fingernails are sexy, at least on me! LOL. My dream ride is a "98 Buick Riviera, Chopped, sectioned, hammered, and slammed, set-up for the Bonneville salt flats in hot pink no less!

Jody---PS I will vote out of necessity any way I can to keep the Republicans out of office. JT

A vote for the libertarian candidate is really a vote for the Republicans because it represents another voter who would have voted Democratic instead.

Back when I ran a Libertarian booth at the Gun Shows I'd hear that same logic from Republicans saying that voting for a Libertarian was really a vote for a Democrat. It seems to me that most major party voters who vote Libertarian are using it as a protest vote for their own party. If a Republcian feels like their candidate isn't strong enough on right wing issues they protest by voting Libertarian and if a Democrat feels like their candidate isn't strong enough on left wing issues they portest by voting Libertarian. I gave up on politics when I relized that the Libertarian Party was basicly that slutty girl you'd date to urine off the girl you really wanted to be with.

Way off topic. Here on greasy pink fingernails that was yesterday. My atv was pouring gas out the carb overflow. I finished the farm chores and dug into the carb a 2001 Honda. Turns out it was earth in the float needle. Causing the overflow.

Carb cleaner melts nail polish.

Back on topic: Sorry, Ron Paul may not have my vote. More power to the RP revolution but you need to get out of single digits for real if you want to attract my attention.

Sure enough, Cindy!

Hey, I'm working on it! After 1.5 years' delay, I'm hoping to go file my legal name change this upcoming Monday. I already have my gender marker letter for the DMV to then become legally female. Finally ... FINALLY!!! Jesus!

Anyway, The System's main movers are so evil, it actually won't make any difference anyway. However, yes, let's "get female" as soon as possible anyway!

Love you like a sister, Cindy! Missed ya!

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together
    • Abigail Genevieve
      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.

      Lunch was at Cabaret, still free.  The place was quiet: it was the sort of place you took a business client to impress them, and the few other people were in business suits.  Most of the legal profession was there.   She told him of the morning's frustrations, breaking her own rule about confidentiality.  She asked Karen how the branding was going, and Karen had snapped back that she had not started on it yet - they had all these proposals.  Taylor had explained that it was important, for the two o'clock meeting, and Karen told her to do it herself.  Karen pointed out that Taylor could not touch her - her uncle was on the Board and her brother was VP of Manufacturing.  Nor would the two computer guys go out to the plant - they were playing some kind of MMORPG and simply not available. If she wanted the pictures, she should go.  Mary prayed an Ave Maria, but both she and Brenda were racing to get the proposal out. The client wanted it Friday for review.   She didn't bring up what Mrs. McCarthy had told her.  She wasn't sure how to approach it.  She thought of telling her of a 'something more comfortable' she had bought in case he ever DID show up at her door. It was in the bottom drawer of her dresser, ready to go.  Instead she talked about moving to a place with a garage.  Several of the abandoned houses had one, and they had been maintained well with China cash.   Bob had finally realized that when he was introduced as Bob, Taylor's boyfriend, that was just how things were done here. Other people had introduced each other in terms of family relationships, which were strong.  Long before you found out anything else about someone, you knew how they were related.  Family kept people from leaving Millville.    "What is the real name of this town, anyway?"   She laughed.  "I am trying to find that out.  It's 'Welcome to Millvale' when you come into town from the north, and 'Welcome to Millville' on the south.  I have counted two other variants."   "What a town. Roosevelt is like that, with the families, but there is only one spelling."
