RE: Freedom via Playing Politics? Debate Time
From what it looks like Adam has had no direct political experience (ie ever worked in government). I think he may have a hard time achieving anything he is setting out to do (in the realm of government). Not only for the reasons that @larkenrose will point out but firstly the amount of "politicking" needed to get to such a position would ultimately compromise you. Also does he really think the rest of the government would let him do that? I can quite easily imagine a scenario where he's impeached within a week.
You cannot be impeached if your not the president.
From what I've seen I believe his plan is to run for President. I meant that if actually did manage to become president, if he wasn't compromised in some way, then it'd be pretty easy for any well established opposition to whip up a case for impeachment(or perhaps more extremely, assassination).
Ok, you have not been following his work. He is running to not be president and execute his executive order that would denounce his presidency and make him as custodian of the gov't to then go ahead and dissolve it. They will have maybe a few hours at the most to impeach him. Look just at least follow some of his work before making comments.
Don't get me wrong I appreciate his sentiment. I am by no means a statist. The point is, to even get to the position that your could (realistically) be voted in requires a large degree of political weight. I think he underestimates the amount of politics he'd have to be involved in to achieve his goals.
And fair enough, I haven't read a lot of his stuff but I do understand the basic plan as you described it. I've had experience in the political realm so I thought I might be able to add a little insight into the situation.
I mean no disrespect but I'm entitled to my opinion.
OK got it. I believe what you are saying. I've been there with Ron Paul. But like Ron Paul, whether he win or not, he has an opportunity to get a lot of people who still believe in the democratic system to see a possibility that they never really though of before. It can only bring out even more freedom minded people. Why fight it? Let the man do what feels is right to him and his supporters. The message that he has certainly does not hurt the freedom movement.
and imagine how it will help if he reaches that debate stage in 2020. Adam Kokesh is far better than Ron Paul at selling it.
Definitely can't knock that. Very much appreciate the outcome he is trying to achieve. We should probably give each other a break and get the word out to the statist! 🙂
I must confess I'm in Australia and our political system is a bit different but the "game" is the same.
If you understand what hes planning to do in: Running for not president" hes not going to do something (in the realm of gouvernment) hes going to disolve it. Now i cant say i have looked into exactly what is needed to do that, I asume he have. So from my understanding, Larkens arguments about a moral gouvernment not being posible, is not an argument agains that Adam is aiming to do.
Larkin will debate a lamp post.... and argue whether or not the light is on.
