RPI, an educational force for peace and freedom, is just 20 months old, but it’s already having a huge impact. Its social media influence is already off the charts, and its website is a daily must-visit, despite its shoestring budget. All the enemies of Ron Paul, peace, and freedom wanted him to go fishing after he left Congress. They’ve been stamping their feet in frustration when, if anything, Ron’s intellectual influence has increased. He will not be silenced. There are even some exciting television developments ahead. And his writing grows ever more significant. In every way, Ron Paul will continue to lead the freedom movement, no matter how the regimists threaten to hold their breaths until they turn purple. Oh, and congratulations to RPI executive director Daniel McAdams. Long Ron’s foreign policy advisor in Congress, the scholarly Daniel was chosen by Ron to head this new venture. They are a great team

While he continues to make some campus appearances, you can't seriously pretend that Ron Paul is more influential now than he was in Congress or as a prez candidate. McAdams has been so-so overall. I think he makes some unforced errors. Ron Paul had better put the Institute on a leash or the neocons will use some careless utterance to destroy any chance Rand will have in 2016, especially with the much-shortened debate schedule being reduced from 25 debates (too many) to only 9 (too few).
I am not a neocon, but I did let out an utterance that was not useless in the my previous post when I said: "Like father like son."
Ron and Rand have little in common politically. Rand is just another pandering politician who will say or do anything to get elected.

More than you, that's for sure. Do you count posting huge annoying flashing graphics that are a literal danger to people with eye problems as an "accomplishment"?
More than you, that's for sure. Translation in the answer to: "What has Ron ever accomplished,"
He annoys the living crap out of a lot of tools. I consider him to be much like a canary in a mine. Even his mildest remarks smoke out un-American individuals.
And you see them whining about Libertarians constantly, guess it helps them feel better about themselves.
I just recall how Reagan knew and understood the libertarian wing of the party. He cultivated them and kept them close. Including Ron Paul who was a leader of the Texas delegation who tried to nominate Reagan instead of Ford in '76. By 1988, RP was disappointed that so little had been accomplished and he foolishly thought he could force change by running as the LP candidate, a mistaken notion. OTOH, the LP had been uniformly pro-abortion and by the time RP was done with them, a majority were pro-lifers. Abortion is still a touchy subject that the LP shys away from. A few pix from the era (drives the neocons crazy):
A pix the neocons laugh about:
There's is no reason, on principle or otherwise, to refuse to take a campaign donation from a supremacist of any color, alleged or real. Everyone has a right to donate, and their right to their own reasons for donating. Ron had no moral requirement to query everyone who donated what they believe in.

If Ron Paul had returned that donation to Black, the neocons would have written blaring headlines in Weekly Standard saying "Ron Paul writes check to Nazis". This is exactly how they operate. Like trolls.
You say: Au contraire, mon frère. There are “otherwise” reasons covered in the Federal campaign law. Prohibited Contributors/Contributions: Other than the listed prohibitions, I agree with you when you say: You also say: Of course there is no “moral” requirement for a politician to query everyone. I stand to be corrected if I have mistakenly presented any wrong information.

Thanks for the admission.
Please ping me if you ever find anything he accomplished.

To really enact the full conservative/libertarian agenda will require a candidate who can and will unify both wings of the GOP. Reagan was the last one who really tried to do so.

1. A person in prohibited from making contributions made in the name of another.
2. A person may not make a contribution that exceeds the law’s limits.
3. A foreign national may not make contributions.
4. Federal Government Contractors may not make contributions.
5. Corporations and labor unions may not make contributions.
6. A person many not make contributions that exceed the law’s limits.
Everyone has a right to donate, and their right to their own reasons for donating.
Ron had no moral requirement to query everyone who donated what they believe in.
