Make yourselves at home. Thanks for visiting Flopping Aces. Our domestic policy is usually to treat our guests with as much courtesy as they give us. With Paulbots, however, we might make an exception.
I warn you: My intent is to ridicule and not to engage. I will resist being assimilated into the Ron Paul fan cult with every fiber of my being. I mean, c’mon: That "Revolution" banner you have going with the "evol" spelled backwards? Which one of you clever fanboys thought up that one? Yikes!
Take yourselves seriously in a post like this, and you will do yourselves a disservice.
I do have one question to Ron Paul minions: How do you guys do it? Appear out of nowhere, at the first typing of the words "Ron Paul" on a blog? I’ve seen it happen at so many conservative blogs. I’ve seen it happen repeatedly here, on Curt’s posts. It’s quite a phenomenon. Like chanting "Bloody Mary" 3 times in front of the bathroom mirror.
Anyway, feel free to poke around in the archives. There’s plenty there. My favorites are the categories on the Saddam documents and Saddam- al Qaeda ties. Some of what you find here might just be the deprogramming cure the doctor ordered.
Just remember: If you break it, you own it.
The Ron Paul cultists. Who are they?
Oh, and look : No anti-Americanism here, so long as we support Ron Paul:
Brits 4 Presidential Candidate Ron Paul
Belgians for Ron Paul
Wonder if I Google real hard, if I might find an IslamicRadicals4RonPaul blog?
Here are some examples of the Ronulan disruptors, hard at work:
Conservatism with Heart
Flopping Aces
Freedom Eden
This is my United States of whatever!
Just poke into the comments section to see examples of their spamming invasion.
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
I can’t quite grasp this insane need to classify all of Ron Paul’s supporters as “insane”….and to loop them all in together, no less. It’s a very narrow-minded thing to do….but I suppose I can’t expect much from a person like you.
Just so we’re clear; I’ve never supported the left. Never in my life. I used to refer to myself as a Republican before I became apathetic and just quit caring. In recent years I have discovered that I am more in the middle on the issues. When I learned of libertarianism, I was amazed at how closely their stance on the issues matched my own. And I still can’t figure out why libertarians are referred to as nutty. It really baffles the mind. But I guess that one rejects and despises what one doesn’t understand.
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison had a lot of the same views as Ron Paul, yet I see no one calling THEM “kooks”. In all actuality, their set of beliefs are what sparked and inspired the Republican party.
If being a blood-thirsty, war-hungry, holier-than-thou, “my country is better than your country”, mindless sheep is the earmark of a “true patriot”….well, I’m quite happy being labeled insane. So…thanks for the compliment.
You Paul Reverists really are a laughable lot! You’re 3 months late to this thread, sunshine! This was a companion piece to a weekend of posts- some substantive; some created just to poke supporters like you with a stick, to get a rise out of you. Looks like the last 3 indignant commenters fell for the trap and actually posted serious replies to a non-serious post.
Grow a sense of humor; and please….do try and keep up, will you?
Curious. You say your intent is to ridicule and not to engage. You then mix your nasty invective with postings & rebuttals that you obviously want taken seriously. You then retreat to ad hominem polemics.
You quote extensively from an FDR fireside chat about Nazis. Funny thing is, this sort of thuggish mockery was a classic Nazi propaganda tactic. What is your next cartoon going to be – an unshaven Ron Paul with a big hooked nose leering at young girls?
Hit a nerve, did I? Grow some thicker skin, junior. This post is soooo last year.
Brilliant, ain’t it? But where was I nasty?
It’s the ebb and flow of the comment stream. The post itself was just to get under your skin (it worked, didn’t it?). A few understood, and played along. Others needed to grow a sense of humor.
When the conversation became more serious, I made some serious replies, this is true. But do you notice the dates? After a dozen or so posts, posts naturally get pulled “off-topic” from their original intent, in the comments section. After a while, you forget the original intent. I’m not going to waste my time answering every single Paulistinian that comes waltzing in here, demanding my attention, 4 months too late.
I did? Where. My memory goes blank, after 3 months, and 100 posts later. Refresh me, please.
Some of you Ronulans seem to know quite a bit about Nazi tactics, don’t’cha?
Sorry. Unless there’s some substance to your suggestion, I’ll pass on that one.
Here at FA, our ridicule is grounded in reality.
