This is a story I couldnt resist writing. Ron Paul supporters are spraying vinegar at the sky to kill clouds. Theyre standing in their backyards, on their porches, and in front of their windows, angrily aiming spray bottles filled with vinegar into the air.
How could I not write about this? If I live to be one-hundred years old, will I ever again get the chance to write about something so incredibly insane?
I have several friends who support Ron Paul. The aim of this piece is not to malign or belittle all Paul supporters just the ones who adhere to the if Alex Jones says it, it must be true school of thought. And boy, do those Paul devotees love the chemtrails conspiracy theory (the belief that the contrails created by the exhaust of aircraft engines are actually toxic chemical trails that the Zionist/Illuminati/Bilderberger/alien-lizard-man secret societies are using to poison the earth).
When not listening to Alex Jones and Jeff Rense, chemtrail believers obsessively take photographs of the poison trails and evil clouds. Of course, since the alien-lizard-Zionist-Bilderbergers forbid the puppet governments of the world from admitting that chemtrails exist, the intrepid chemtrail hunters have been stymied. Sure, they can photograph them, but they cant stop em.
Or CAN they? This year, a movement has spread like dengue fever among chemtrail sleuths. This movement claims that chemtrails can be killed with vinegar, sprayed upward from the ground. And hundreds of chemtrail true believers are doing just that and theyre uploading videos to Youtube, Dailymotion, Ebaumsworld, and elsewhere, documenting their chemtrail kills.
Of the hundreds of chemtrail kill videos, the majority are made by self-described Ron Paul supporters. Ive dubbed this branch of the Paul camp the Paulsamics (as in Paulsamic vinegar). If you want to see the sheer volume of Paulsamic videos online, just Google or Youtube-search chemtrails and vinegar. Below, Ive embedded the very best video of the lot. Its ten minutes long. Normally, I would grab a video of that length and edit a highlight reel. But its impossible to edit this one down; its too damn perfect as it is. Watch as a chemtrail-obsessed, Ron Paul-obsessed mom uses her trusty spray bottle to combat the marauding trails, as her long-suffering teenage son is forced to record her. Witness her great victory as she reemerges later to find that she has cleaned the sky. Oh, and dont miss the clip at the 8-minute mark that shows the state of the familys lawn as a result of the constant vinegar-showers. Perhaps her gardener can explain to her that vinegar is not lighter than air!
Now, my Ron Paul-supporting friends will probably claim that its unfair to use the actions of a few hundred Paulsamics to tar the entire Paul base. Perhaps. But Ill say this: If two hundred Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman, or Rick Santorum supporters converged on the U.S./Mexican border to combat illegal immigration by spraying vinegar in the air, Id consider that every bit as worthy of ridicule as I do the actions of the Paulsamics. Of course, that scenario would never happen. Its a simple truth that no other GOP candidate has a group of supporters who are doing anything even remotely as lunatic as spraying vinegar skyward to kill clouds. This is something totally unique to the Paul crowd.
Several of the Paulsamics brag about the money bombs theyve coordinated for Paul, the organizing theyve done for his campaign, the Internet spots theyve created, etc. This is an important segment of his support base. As Leon Wolf at RedState so aptly observes, Ron Paul has built an entire political career off of pandering to the paranoid and hate filled when he thinks no one is looking.
And now he has the Paulsamics as a result a small cadre of dedicated loons who spray vinegar at the sky. Own em or disown em, Dr. Paul. Or do neither, while still happily accepting their money and support. Either way, theres no denying that your association with the lunatic fringe is a serious stain on your presidential campaign.
Hey now that I think about it, you know whats good for removing stains?
Vinegar!
Get back to me when the drummer circle spontaneously combusts...
Sacrifice to baul??? Good one!
That was a serious proposal in the old Soviet Union.
The reverse side has "2012" scribbled on it. Kind of ironic given the monetary views RoPaul propounds. Or, then again, maybe it's consistent indeed. Should we expect to see The Chairman and Founder of Eyebrow Cub For Men as the face of a new currency should he be elected? Maybe that's the what they're insinuating.
“No one is dumb enough to believe contrails are poison.”
Unfortunately, they are. There are all kinds of discussion boards about it. Some people play into their stupidity and photoshop chemtrail into normal pictures and these morons buy into it. Just search for “chemtrails” and you’ll get an eye full of moronic statements.
I do, too. They WANT to believe in government conspiracies. It gives them an excuse not to thrive.
I'm so confused about who to support.

Yes, the good old boy network is alive and well. But I am going to shake it up!
Good one, Molon!
I sure miss ol’ Schultzie! My kinda Sarge.
It’s not bogus. When I lived in South Carolina there was an artist in our city who legally changed his name to “Blue Sky” because he wanted to fight the poisoning of our atmosphere and blocking out of sunlight from jet contrails. I’m not kidding. These people exist. And a lot of them are Paulestinians.
