It's too big.

Oh, you know what, though. It just may be true about the National Zot Party. There are a lot of subsets that fit into it, mostly under the head of Free Republic. But it is powerful and right.

Here is a little known ZOTting subset, the PJ PI's:

Ahhh, another opportunity to educate...

From the profile of the Admin Moderator:

"The history of Zot.

There are one or two individuals who, for whatever reason, enjoy signing up new accounts here every single day to post leftist drivel. Sometimes they are vanities from DemocraticUnderground. Sometimes they are articles from other far-left sources. Sometimes they are nothing but vile doctored images or profanity laced tirades. Sometimes they are from legitimate sources but happen to strike the eye of the poster as being something that would infuriate conservatives.

The posters in question always post the articles, and then don't reply. They then post other articles, again not replying. This was going on for months. Jim would confirm by looking at the IP addresses and other aspects of the user's 'footprint' that it was the returning troll, and we would nuke the accounts. This went on for months.

Then some of the opportunists who wanted to harm the forum started a whispering campaign, complaining about articles being deleted. They would play off of the fact that the trolls' articles were being pulled to complain that there was some sort of agenda of squelching legitimate conservative postings going on by the moderators.

One day I decided to try something new. I decided, instead of letting the trolls get what they want and have their posts up as flame bait, and instead of pulling the threads outright, I would move their post aside and replace it with something that hopefully others would find humorous. I would do this out in the forum for all to see. The original piece would be available through the history link for the curious, who could see if there was some sort of censorship campaign going on. And the freepers could have fun mocking the troll if they so liked.

It so happens that the way I did it the first time was using a screen shot from Caddyshack, where the pastor gets hit by a lightning bolt. Being a bit of a fan of the comic strip "B.C." I captioned the photo with the lightning bolt sound that Johnny Hart used in his strip- ZOT! That is where the term Zot originated.

Now, sometimes we "zot", and sometimes we simply pull it. It depends on a number of factors, including how busy we are at the time. But whenever you see a Zot, you can be sure that the user was a 'newbie' who was doing their hit-and-run posting, and that if you as a well-established freeper thought the article would have made an interesting discussion, then you could probably post the same piece yourself without incident (although the most vile of the stuff probably would get pulled, and Jim reserves the right to remove anyone who he feels is constantly trying to push leftist propaganda on the forum). Anyway, that is the history and background behind zotting."

Honestly man... who has been lying to you...
I don't recall that the United States has ever had a non-Christian President. What's the point of a "National Faith Party," if the majority of the federal government is controlled by Christians? You'll also realize, that there are devout Christians on the other side of the aisle (Zell Miller for example). To say that the rest of the government does not have a representation of Christian interests, is idiocy. Another problem would be the inherent barrier of getting an "NFP" candidate into office anywhere. Why not go through presently existing parties in order to represent your interests? Speaking in general the only major party I see that needs to reform would be the presently existing Democratic Party (perhaps that's my own personal bias, but just because I am biased, does not make me wrong). To say that you want to reform the entire party system by 2008 in order to elect your candidate would perhaps be a little too optimistic anyway.

Thanks,
Scott

Nice picture! Mine's been on tour.

I'll use this ZOT to get your attention, to say:

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

[MeekOneGOP]

Happy Thanksgiving Viking Kitties!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Pimping?

[DirtyHarryY2K]

I am not sure what a ZOT is but I bet it is one of those things like "freeper". All your party has to do is stop all of the religion bull and get rid of Bush and you guys will be alright.

Peace be with you.

Taking lessons from Kerry? "Leftist Liberal Loser" Posing as a "Christian"

Get a life!
