Ron Paul Puns!

[Murky]

Well, I think inferring they are ******** is insulting to the mentally handicapped. They are probably just the most ideology driven group in America. That is they let their ideology dictate how they view the world, even if it means going against anything remotely sensible. Whatever the opposite of pragmatic is would be most accurate. Maybe ideologues. So a Paul fan could be called "Paulogues."

I see what you did there!

You missed Paulestinians!

That's my favorite

Dunning-Kruggerands. So beautiful a term.

Immediately had to think of that as well

I like the simplicity of Paultards. It sums it up nice and succinctly, with little margin for misinterpretation.

Only a state-worshipper would make this statement. Are you sure you weren't joking?

Because those who attack Ron Paul are all for the state.

Something Awful's massive dislike of Ron Paul is just.

Depends on why they are attacking him. Its pretty hard to "Attack" the most honest person in Presidential politics unless you are a worshipper of the state.

I mean, you can disagree with the guy, but unless you have a total worship of the state you will probably acknowledge that some of his ideas are good ones.

It sucks that the people who propose actual solutions can be called "********" along with those who support the people that come up with conclusions.

I'll be waiting until we collapse under the weight of our own stupidity and wasteful spending, something Ron Paul alone amongst the GOP nominees addressed in any meaningful way. When it happens, I will not spare you the "I told you so."

I agree.

But that post would've had a lot more impact if you hadn't tried to hotlink it. Rehost the image elsewhere?

Honesty? Tell me more jokes Ronocrat!

You support all his policies? The removal of the minimum wage? Commence the deregulation that caused the current ecomonic recession?

Well I am not pleased with the term.

But as noted by Something Awful your "I told you so" is a failured statement. Something Awful is correct in right in their dislike of Ron Paul. A figure once said that the exstream capitalist liberterians are more dangerous to liberties then the so called statists. We Brits know what cuts bring. I am afraid that the liberterian model will not save the ecomony. In the end, what ever happens, Something Awful will get the last lol.

What about Paultroons, does that have a good ring to it? It kind of sounds insulting and it rhymes with gold doubloons.

I was really tempted to post J. Jonah Jameson laughing, but Crezth already did that to CivGeneral so I'd just be d***-riding.

I was also going to start a rant about how rolling back the clock 150 or so years is not a serious solution, that you have succumbed to the mirror fallacy again, and so on but is it even worth the trouble?

 

[W|M]

Do we really want to introduce a Ronarchy?

Honest doesn't mean "doesn't hold terrible ideas on most key issues".

 

[GhostWriter16]

I didn't say all of them.

I have no problem with the minimum wage, but I do oppose attempts to increase it because the higher the min. wage is, the less people can get jobs. Teenagers cannot get jobs when a living wage is required.

I also oppose the Federal minimum wage because different states and local areas have different minimum standards of living than others. The minimum wage should certainly be higher in NYC than it is in Mississippi, obviously. So I oppose Federal regulation of something that only makes sense to regulate at the local level.

As for deregulation, of course I support it. The Federal government should be cut to a bare minimum. They are spending our money out of control and trying to raise taxes to pay for it when they should instead put a check on their own spending.

Ron Paul gets that this applies to foreign wars as much as, if not more than, domestic policies.

But as noted by Something Awful your "I told you so" is a failured statement. Something Awful is correct in right in their dislike of Ron Paul.

Libertarianism is about letting people make their own choices rather than allowing the government to control your life. You seem to think the government is the solution to everything. Is my impression wrong?

Honest doesn't mean "doesn't hold terrible ideas on most key issues".

It doesn't mean that, although a true liberal would like his ideas on a great many things. Even if we ignore the economy and foreign policy and limit "liberal" to "Agreeing with libertarians on domestic, non-fiscal issues," you should still appreciate Ron Paul's views on ending the drug war, pro-gun views, being against warrantless searches, being opposed to policies that leave 1/100th of our populace in cells, and whatnot.

Truth be told, there are a lot of good reasons you SHOULD'NT separate monetary and social freedom, but the fact that more liberals don't give him credit for his social views, and perhaps even his foreign policy views, is indeed surprising.

Teenagers cannot get jobs when a living wage is required.

I have a hard time interpreting this as anything other than your desire for people to be unable to earn a proper wage, just so that teenagers can get jobs.
