Fuck Ron Paul

Fuck him forever.

Saya and I were talking about what he did, there. "I'm not a misogynist, but (insert misogynist remark).

People seem to think that by inserting a positive preamble, it can remain true when followed with anything else. KissMeDumbfuck did it in the other thread when he said "I have the utmost respect for veterans, but you joined the military to support yourself, you made poor life decisions to be in the military and expect me to make up for it, veterans are never forced into service, you knew what war was like before you signed up for it so anything negative that came from your service is your own fault, your real complaint about my comment is that I won't kiss your ass, you're playing a PTSD card and that I compared paying taxes to going to war isn't a big deal."

Pretty much anytime someone says something sensible and follows it with a ", but" you can be pretty sure you're about to be pissed off.

You hear that line a lot in the part of the Lone Star State I live in. "I'm not racist but I'll only date my color" or "I'm not racist but I think black people need to stop being so loud all the time." Here's my favorite since I'm Hispanic "I'm not racist but why can't Mexicans stay in Mexico? Isn't their country good enough for them since it's full of Mexicans?"

The only point I attempt to discuss is the immigration situation, but it's normally a case of the other putting their fingers in their ears and saying "La, la, la, la I'm not listening!"

As towards Ron Paul, yeah fuck that guy. I'm not sure if I'm reposting a known link, but here's something that makes you question why anyone supports this nutcase.

Why are you bringing misogyny into this? If he doesn't say "women", he can't be a misogynist!

I'm not trying to display too much affection in public, but we should make out.

Why is it all along? Nobody said anything about this whole time. You're the one bringing time into this. You must hate time.

This is a similar Australian website but they actually publish their names in addition to their comments.

FYI:
  1. Bogans are the Aussie equivalent to rednecks
  2. The APP (Australian protectionist party) are infamous for their ultra-right political views

God damn it. MAYBE for just a second, the lolbertarians can stop ideologically masturbating and just be honest with the real world situation and come clean that MAYBE PEOPLE LIKE A SOCIETY THAT CAN HELP KEEP THEM UP WHEN THEY'RE DOWN.

Fucking shit. First Ayn Rand and now Ron Paul.

If you can't survive solely on such an antisocial philosophy, then maybe it's time to do some soul searching.

In five years no one will know who he is. They will react in the same way they react when people ask who was Ross Perot.

Ross Perot achieved immortality when he appeared on The Simpsons.

Or the Libertarians and survival nuts will be invoking his name the same way modern Republicans invoke Reagan like he's the second coming.

I doubt it, Reagan at least managed to get elected, that kind of helps solidify your position in people's memory.

I'm too young to remember Perot. How big was his following and how did they act?
