Campaign For Liberty Calls For Push Back On The Davidson County GOP

By Kleinheider Posted on October 29, 2009 at 8:58 am

The national organization formed by Ron Paul essentially continuing his campaign to bring the Old Right back into the GOP has spoken out on the movement to oust one of its members from the Davidson County Party.

Recent developments in the Nashville Republican Party has led to one of our very own being threatned with permanent expulsion from his elected position as the DCRP 1st Vice Chair. This breaking news has led the CFL to release an important message with regards to further action against Matt Collins.

We humbly submit to the state party officals and DCRP officers, please err on the side of principles before party politics. Please dont remove an elected officer for being outspoken about Constitutional accountability. Matt is a fervent patriot, a real Sam Adams of our time, and defends the principled politics that has long been lost in our society. We will not support any type of affiliation that promotes big government or economically irresposibile candidates.

The Nashville DCRP has promoted time and time again big government candidates. John McCain, case and point. We have finally won an electable office within the DCRP that can help promote and defend OUR American way of life, and the DCRP feels threatened.

    A real Sam Adams? Please, I think the author of this statement has had one too many Sam Adams’.

    Who on earth does the CFL want the party to support if not it’s own nominee for President? It’s fine to argue during the primary but come on, what should the DCRP have done? Endorse Chuck Baldwin?

    Please, name one thing for me that Matt has ACTUALLY done to “promote and defend OUR American way of life.”

    Is this crap really the stuff that makes a movement? The Campaign for Liberty is a joke. The DCRP has rules and bylaws in place, just like every county party in America. If you want to serve as an officer in a county party you don’t go around bashing their candidates. What if I joined the Campaign for Liberty and got myself elected as an officer and started blogging about how awful Ron Paul is??

    The conservative party is dead if petty party politics start using the Benjomatic slicer n dicer on other members.

    You don’t shake someone’s hand and you’re vilified? What’s next in the DCRP movement?

    Pick your nose in public and you’re labeled a Communist?

    Not quite that simple. The organization Collins is an elected officer of invited a candidate to an event, Collins refused to be polite at the event. THEN, blogs/brags about it to try to score political points.

    It is laughable that Collins attaches “principles above politics” to everything and then is rude to a politician because of a vote. Collins is indeed putting his own politics above the principle of treating others with respect, even if you disagree with their politics. If Collins wants a future in political activism, he sorely needs to read How to Win Friends and Influence People by Carnegie. Yes, really.

    I don’t think Matt’s main goal is to ‘win friends and influence people’.

    God bless him for it. We have too many of those people in politics as it is.

    Ah, good to hear he has no desire to influence people because he is pretty lousy at it.

    Matt is no different than anyone else, he has his point of view, and he stands up for what he believes is correct.

    Just as I do.

    Just as Black Community

    Just as Davy

    Just as anyother member of this forum.

    JohnnyC,

    Collins has every right to be angry, and “impolite” as you say, against the neocons. They are people who are actively trying to take our liberties away; why would you be polite to a person trying to do that? It would be like being polite and calm to someone talking about murdering you! Were being polite enough by not taking violent action with the 2nd amendment, and instead using the first. Join our side, the real republicans.

    JohnnyC,

    I didn’t say he has no desire, just that it’s not his main goal. If Matt not shaking someone’s hand is enough to make you downplay the $850,000,000,000 that mostly just up and disappeared, what’s there to be upset about? Who has more power? The guy not shaking hands, or the guy blowing our money away? Thank goodness the guy blowing our money away has more friends and influential ability, right?

    I think the Campaign for Liberty is a legitimate group…I have learned a lot about American History and the Constitution through their site. I have not been solicited for money or asked to support some doubletalking politician by C4L…I occasionally receive informative emails from C4L and that’s it..Tennessee is supposed to be a classic conservative Republican state…but they try to vote out people who support and honor the Constitution and the TN Rep Party supports Lamar Alexander who is liar and against the Audit of the Federal Reserve…which many of our financial woes could be traced back to.. It’s enough to make me want to vote third party
