Do you love the smell of libertarianism in the morning? If so, today is a good day for you. Ron Paul Last week we solicited your questions for Congressman Ron Paul. There was such a big response (more than 400 comments) that we have split Pauls answers into two batches, the first of which is posted below. Thanks to Paul for his answers and all of you for your good questions.
(Excerpt) Read more at freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com ...
Yeah, you’re a genius. [roll eyes]
Keep making fun of patriots and see where it gets you.
Look who your President-elect is.
So what was your old user name before you got banned newbie?
BTW, how did that McCain thing work out for you? Ever get that majority in congress back?
Notice that the Democrats didn’t even bother to run a candidate against Ron Paul this time?
He won his seat by 60% of the vote back in 2006, and how did the rest of the Republican Party do?
I see that last post really struck a nerve with you.
Hmmm,
i give it a zero for originality, and about a 3.1 for style, both categories on a scale of 0-10.
Seen it all before during the primary, and none of it was true then either. Besides all of your nonsense was covered In this post
Thank you for playing.
BTW, don't bother posting the photo of Paul with the founder of Stormfront(?).
You do know that what will happen is that somebody will post the photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam.
Unlike Ron Paul, Rummy knew who he was dealing with and had no excuses.

# PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: #
# #
# The common freedom hating troll #
# (Trollus FREEREPUBLICicus) #
# is an approximately 1.7m long nocturnal furry creature #
# that has been found to exist in nearly every climate & #
# latitude. Predominant features include: a very pale #
# complexion, a large bony ridge above the eyes, a dense #
# cranium, dragging knuckles, and a pungent odor. #
# #
############################################################
############################################################
# #
# HABITAT: #
# #
# Most trolls spend the daylight hours under a large rock #
# sleeping. Unfortunately, the natural habitat of the #
# troll has been encroached by development (as is all too #
# often the case). The modern troll has to make do with #
# a slimy, moss covered rock. Often, trolls are forced #
# to endure poor sanitation and filthy living conditions. #
# Combined with the general lack of hygiene among trolls, #
# this results in a very unpleasant odor. #
# #
############################################################
############################################################
# #
# ACTIVITIES AND DIET: #
# #
# During their active period at night, the common troll #
# engages in numerous activities, though the most #
# important of these is foraging for food. The one #
# characteristic that ties all different troll species #
# and sub-species together is their diet. Trolls #
# invariably survive off of a combination of cheetohs, #
# arguments, and annoying others. A typical troll #
# requires approximately 10 arguments and flames per day #
# just to stay alive. With the increasing #
# regular ignoring of trolls, it has become more and more #
# difficult for trolls to eke out a basic sustenance. #
# #

# #
# KNOWN PREDATORS: #
# #
# Trolls have many predators. Most common #
# among them are the well-informed poster, the fact- #
# filled researcher, and the cool headed responder. #
# These three are technically not a troll #
# predator however. Trolls are typically unfazed by #
# logical counter arguments and cool headed reason. #
# However, even though their posts do not deliver the #
# same level of sustenance that a “flamer” or an “annoyed #
# poster” may provide, they still provide a valuable #
# source of dietary fiber for the troll. #
# However, some of the more brutal troll predation #
# occurs when a rare species of domesticated feline, #
# known as the Viking Kitty (Felinicus Vikingikus) #
# ,and a superior creature called the Admin Moderator #
# (Lightningcus Bringus) combine power to draw highly #
# supernatural and destructive forces from above by using #
# a device known as a ‘beeber’ to obliterate the #
# unsuspecting creature. This phenomenon #
# is known as a ZOT, and involves a highly volitale #
# combination of plasma engergy and nuclear fusion to #
# create a powerful superweapon. The poor slob stands no #
# chance against it’s awesome force, and the moron is #
# reducded to a smoking crater of seared flesh, #
# pulverized bone, and burning rubble #
# The trolls’ predators have reaped a terrible slaughter #
# over the years, resulting in the death of great hordes #
# of trolls. Trolls continue to breed rapidly though and #
# their population is stable. However, it is unknown how #
# long this situation can persists. Eventually, natural #
# predators and irrefutable information regarding the #
# failings of liberalism and socialism may result in lower#
# numbers of trolls. Already we are seeing lower #
# diversity among the different troll species. Most are #
# of the Angry Left (BDS) variety. That is why this troll #
# habitat refuge exists, to ensure the preservation of #
# the troll for not only our future, but the future of #
# our children. #

LOL
Biology wasn’t my subject. Thanks for the 411. Shame they have to use so much bandwidth before they get ZOTted.
Some of these retread ones are more difficult to get rid of than herpes.
That would be "whelp", and I've been photgraphed with Bill Richardson, Bill Clinton, Maya Angelou, and the Grateful Dead.
So what?
“So what was your old user name before you got banned newbie?”
can I make a guess: End Times Crusader?
Don't know. i'd have said Lormand, but i don't think he's banned. i don't recall ETC putting in the graphics heavy stuff.
