Biggest Problem is Inetellectual PREJUDICE

In regards to the cause we are promoting the single greatest problem we have to overcome is prejudice. People generally are prejudiced in many ways. Most do not think about it in reference to themselves, but most do in reference to others.

You all see how those who speak against RP or the people involved in the RP Revolution are prejudiced in their assumptions and statements most of the time. Many respond to such statements in great emotion without dealing with the prejudice behind the statements. But I am saying that we need to all become mature and learn how to respond to such attacks. Deal with the root problem. Expose it in a way Dr. Paul does.

I have tried to bring this up on this forum also in reference to internal prejudice by saying the following:
The answer is to expose their philosophy rather than focus on personalities. If not all that will happen is people who are banned will just change names and come back as someone with a different name. So you must not play their games. Expose their methods with a positive instructive twist. Then it will be harder and harder for them to do this and it will go towards educating everyone. We can drown them out as I have pointed out. But directly attacking them (and I am not saying we should not flag their comments or threds) is what they want. They want the fight. They know the world is watching and so they want us to be devided and look bad. The answer is in informing everyone of truth.

The troublemakers are prejudiced people. Two types: 1. The first are just fools who are ignorant and immature and may be real RP supporters that just need to grow up. These we need to win over to a better way. 2. The other type are plants sent to cause trouble.

So we are dealing with prejudice. You need to understand that intellectual prejudice is the greatest battle we face with people. I always give my new students the following old lecture to study carefully so that they learn what prejudice is, see their own prejudices, and overcome that faulty way of living and thinking:

This will change your life even if you have already studied logic. So in the same way we need to expose prejudice with exposing its faulty method, while presenting facts. Prejudiced people assume they have all the facts in the matter and have all the facts properly understood and connected together in the estimate of reality. When it comes to judging people's motives this can be hard to perfectly know. And here we look to RP's example in dealing with the motives of others. Such as those who attack him. Notice how unprejudiced he is. Notice how carefully he is about issues and bills on the floor. He is not a surface guy. Many people run with the slightest sign of something good or bad. But RP looks deeply into the matter to gather all the facts. This is why we trust him.

So the biggest problem is not lack of money, lack of MSM attention, lack of this or that, but rather lack of intellectual integrity without and within. We all know the external battle with prejudice on the outside. But we as real Americans must live up to the cause we are promoting. We must rid ourselves of prejudice, and we must wear this dignified name. This is very much the characteristic of this movement to some extent. We are people of truth. Together we can change the image of America to that of dignity and honor. I am just trying to make it clear that is not merely about having some truth that makes you in the right but in order to win we must rightly process the truth in our own minds and rightly present it to the world. Don't follow the example or spirit of the MSM and the like, but follow RP's example in this respect. If RP was merely right on issues but was still prejudiced I would not be supporting him as I could not trust him. Can this be said of you? If we are going to succeed each of us must help his neighbor to live this way. It is not about brute force here people. It is all about virtue. This is the real meaning of LOVE in rEVOLution. Love that is prejudiced is only emotion and hype.

Dr. Paul and I have this in

Dr. Paul and I have this in common. I face this issue on Daily Paul all the time.

Actually I was thinking of a certain example today

Where someone assumed evil of another one and caused a whole lot of trouble. This kind of prejudice is such an example that seeks to destroy us. It really does not matter if the accused is bad or good. The example is ruinous. So the question is, are you certain you have all the facts to make such judgments. Obviously not. This is why the rebuke came. And this was why I wrote what I did. Not to fall into the trap set up.

So maybe one has to ask themselves whether the problem is external or if it may be internal as well. Many times both are guilty.
