I’m still watching too . I have no favorites at this time.
Basically I think most of us agree . Most of us love our God ,family and country .
as usual, you are CORRECT & a "breath of fresh air".

i.e., my #715. My mistake.
My friend Jack Wilson (not his real name, of course) is a devoted Eastern Orthodox fan of Edgar Rice Borrough's Barsoomian tales of Mars, and I am a great fan of Wells and Verne. We each enjoy early Science Fiction; to each his own, and we trade discussions and criticisms from time to time.
Unfortunately, in this case, I accidentally combined a political essay I was writing for Free Republic together with a fanciful science fiction essay I was writing for my friend.
I accidentally posted both, together, as one essay. Most embarassing.
If you could kindly delete the entirety of Post #715, I might still salvage my pride. I'd be much obliged, and I'll be more careful with the "Cut&Paste" from now on.
Thanks, OP
Pure drivel, RasterMaster.
Meanwhile your candidate, who I have a lot of respect for, has vultures circling over his campaign.
Check out post 715 before it gets deleted! Somebody was feeling grooooooovy last night! :-)
You're worthless opinion, which is irrelevant to the millions of grassroots supporters campaigning for Paul.
"Unexpected turn in my prose" is right. I actually do have a Life outside of FR; unfortunately, it's a Geek's life.
(There is a reason for this. My explanation is... um, I'm a Geek).
Anyway, I was composing a post for the benefit of my tenant, an Armenian Jew with whom I always enjoy great humor discussing the fact that for his people, one Holocaust just isn't enough, and I happened to Cut&Paste the last part of my "HG Wells-ish short story" Word Doc onto the Word Doc I was posting onto Free Republic.
I feel like quite the Goon, and I think next time I'll monitor the "Preview" function a bit more closely.
Mea Maxima Culpa.
as i said earlier, you BOTH need to get behind a SOLID conservative who has a CHANCE of not only winning the nomination but also beating "the hilleryBEAST" in '08.
this republic CANNOT survive 4-8 more years of "the klintoons" dictatorship again, with our LIBERTY intact.

I wasn't online yesterday. What was post #14 all about? It's been pulled.
Sure it is.
You conveniently ignore the fact that Paul supports a strong defense & a missile defense system, not to mention a militarized Southern border and interior enforcement. In addition to letting citizens keep their firearms.
So what if our troops leave the Middle Eastern hellhole and stop spending billions of dollars on Iraqi infrastructure and schools while 7th century heathens still kill each other.
Comparing Paul to a Democrat, while using the very language you deride Paul supporters of, really blows a hole in your argument.
I would rather stand for what is right than what is popular. If this means my candidate doesn't get the nomination, so be it. But I have not forgone my principles as a Classical Liberal and advocate of the rights of the separate and sovereign states either
This is quite embarassing.
I think it's time for a new Ron Paul thread. Something to distract FReeper attentions from the idiocy of misplaced OP Cut&Paste.
I feel quite the goon.
RON PAUL AND YOURSELF ARE THE DEFENDERS OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM. STAND WATIE WAS THE LAST CONFEDERATE GENERAL TO SURRENDER TO THE UNION TYRANNY IN 1865
I’m sure there are a lot of adulterers who will be voting for Rudy Guliani and maybe one of his kids. I’m sure there will be a lot of polygamists voting for Mitt Romney. I’m sure there will be an a lot of anti-free speech advocates who will be voting for John McCain and I’m sure there will be a lot of dumbasses voting for Fred Thompson because “Law and Order” is their favorite show. I am sick of these guilt by association threads; and I’m still voting for Ron Paul in spite of them.
COMPARE RON PAUL TO A DAMMYKRAT- YOU EVER SEE A DAMMYKRAT FOR LOWER TAXES, WITHDRAWL FROM UNITED NATIONS, ABOLISH IRS,AND FOR FREEDOM???? DR RON PAUL IS ALL CLASS.
Well, we shall see.

Easy with the Caps, newbie. Don’t want you to get banned from here.
OK, now I feel bad for laughing at your expense. Honestly, I feel for ya. I have a brother who is a “geek” in the sci-fi sense. He also happens to be a raving leftist, conspiracy kook. (I haven’t asked him what he thinks of Paul.) Anyway, if you had just ignored the post and/or sent a private e-mail, I wouldn’t have even noticed it. But, can you really blame us for getting a little chuckle when you pretty much validate the stereotype of the Paul supporter? I’m sure you’re a nice guy and there is nothing wrong with being a “geek”.
