The authors of this article use the word "Xenophobes" a few times to often when they talk about people on the right taking issue with the SPP.
The discussion following the article is, contrary to that, a good exchange.
I'd like to encourage you to read the following entry by user pfeifer999. It is called "Unnecessary ideological divisiveness". Also the follow-ups to this post are really good.
Johannes, I tried to ignore the rhetoric and get to the common ground I hold with the author. Perhaps that is something I do to often. You point out an important point about the divisiveness.
Thanks for directing me to pfeifer999's post. She made a lot of sense. The 2nd follow up is a little better than the 3rd, as the gentleman in the third appears inconsistent.
Something I ought to learn from you is to read more of the discussions that follow an article.
Ben will provide the kind of content he is known for in our circle of friends - insightful stuff that moves people to action, and he will post as his inspiration moves him to.
-------------------------------------
As for Allan, if you're looking for inspired or prettier writing, you'll not find it from him here. He'll be posting biweekly basics for you - Ron Paul News, with comments as to why he chose particular pieces.
--------------------------------------
For now, it's the two of us on this blog, but we're now interviewing other regular contributors to join us.
--------------------------------------
And from time to time, we hope to collect some Ron Paul testimonials from those who pass by. Hopefully those submissions would delve into one or more of the following: Why does Ron Paul make sense to you? Why does a donation to his campaign make sense to you? Why does a vote for Ron Paul make sense to you?
--------------------------------------
Interested in submitting? Well, we're interested in reading your work. Send us an email: AmericansInEuropeForRonPaul@

To connect with us in person, come to our meetup group - http://ronpaul.meetup.com/583/ - so far out meetups have been in Bratislava, but soon enough Ben and Allan are going barnstorming through Europe, and from what we've found thus far, we won't have to look hard or travel far to find people who agree with Ron Paul's message. -------------------------------------------- The members of Americans In Europe For Ron Paul have proudly raised $6059 for the Ron Paul 2008 presidential campaign, to date. -------------------------------------------- Email us at AmericansInEuropeForRonPaul@gmail.com if you'd like to suggest a group of potential Ron Paul supporters who'd like to meet with us over a cup of coffee or even argue from across an auditorium. From somewhere near the center of Europe, we're a group of Americans who'd like to make your acquaintance. ------------------------------------------- Please Also Visit These Other Websites in The Neighborhood: Europe4RonPaul Ron Paulish Blog (Poland) Hungary4RonPaul
