Conspiracy-Obsessed Ron Paul Jagoffs Conspire To Censor Information About Him
Wow, I thought the PaulBots were pretty damn psyched to have every bit of Ron Paul news forced down the throats of everyone unfortunate enough to have an IP address.
But when an article notes that Ron Paul himself admits to being sympathetic to the conspiracy-deranged Birchers, suddenly the Important Action Alerts go out and posts get deleted.
You guys are creepy. This is the Cult of the Eternal Loser at work here.
Bonus: Ron Paul thrallsite, "The Daily Paul," announces big celebrity booster-- Mr. Barry Manilow.
Wowsers.
Via The Malcontent, which I'd usually toss a light content warning on due to the big gay ads on the side, but then, I just had the "Real Jock" ad on here myself for a week so really, what's the point?
Jagoffs: From the comments in Say Anything's post. Rob had said,
When the opposition is trying to silence you, you know you’re on target.
Here's how a PaulBot answered:
How cliche’ of you. Ron Paul should be wearing that t-shirt. I wish people like you weren’t so stubborn, arguing just for fun. You would do well to read some history NOT written by Mr. Rogers or Uncle Sam. Perhaps without your brand of venom, dissenters would be more willing to be open and honest about ther views. Unplug your TV!!!!!!!!!!!
Psychopaths. You know, if you losers had a single thing going on your lives, you would find that most of your energy was directed towards those more worthwhile pursuits, rather than wallowing in this childish, manic-obsessive sublimation of all your petty hopes and dreams into this quixotic fantasia that Lord God King Ron Paul turning America into a Magical Wonderland where you didn't get atomic wedgies every three days.
The religious impulse can, sometimes, be a horrible thing -- Al Qaeda comes to mind -- but what is a little unnerving is that there are millions of people deeply, deeply driven by the religious impulse but they don't even know it, because they don't actually believe in God. So instead that impulse, that desire for the divine quickening, just gets sublimated into other interests.
Honestly, guys, if you're looking for transcendence, trust me, Ron Paul cannot grant it to you. I suggest you try Jesus Christ. Not because I really have an awful lot of faith that He can deliver the transcendence you crave, either, but I am reasonably confident that between Ron Paul and Jesus, Jesus is by far the likelier to deliver you unto the Kingdom of Heaven you seek.
I'm getting the profile of these guys -- they're irreligious and indeed pride themselves on being relentlessly, courageously logical, but they're really lost lambs in search of a savior, and they've decided that savoir is a septungerian charlatan and professional conspiracy theorist and all-around twink of a crank named Ron Paul.
Let me tell you my favorite part of that douchebag featured on Screw Lose Change, the "Proud True Conservative" who "took the red pill like Neo" and now understands 9/11 was an inside job. It was this:
After telling us our own government murdered 3000 Americans, he seamlessly begins repeating Ron Paul's ignorant talking points about "fiat money" and the Federal Reserve.
So let me get this straight: You just straight-up accused the government of murdering 3000 people in order to advance a cryptofascist conspiracy whose end goal is to plunge America into totalitarian darkness, which, in your estimation, seems a perfect segueway into discussing how American money used to be silver certificates backed by silver but now has only the "fiat value" the bankers assign to it.
These, in your estimation, are complaints of roughly equivalent gravity, which naturally elide into one another?
Is this not prima facie evidence of a disordered mind?
In related news, all you Seekers of Enlightenment will be cast into the Pit of Fire to burn in Hell for all Eternity unless you stop worshipping the false god Ron Paul, and, to make matters worse, Hell only has basic cable.
