Al Gore about the EnvironmentPosted on 12/11/2007 10:32:20 AM PST by april15Bendovr
Reasoning with the Ron Paul Cult is equal to Reasoning with
Al Gore about the Environment
Linsay Lohan about addiction
Jack Cafferty about the War in Iraq
Baghdad Bob, Same problem as Jack Cafferty above
Amadinejad about the Holocaust
Convincing Heavens Gate there was no UFO on the trail of the Hale Bop comet coming to give them a ride.
And last
Trying to convince Ru Paul he is really a man and not a women.
“we have to win the WOT or there’s no constitution to come home to.”
You said it right there it in a nutshell. (Ron Paul would give our country away to the jihadists.)
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Am I a statis nut-job now?
Well, one idiot insisted that my saying Rudy hasn’t a chance is giving him a “pass”.
Trying to convince Fred Thompson that the Constitution doesn’t mean what it says.
FR is a great place to be accused of God knows what.
Remember the Phillipians of ‘04? The great McClintock wars of CA? We were all going to some Hell in a handbasket....
The Wes Clark boosters were fun as well.
It was like stepping into the twilight zone when speaking to those guys.
One even tried saying that when Clark was SACEUR, the Russians weren’t at Pristina airbase before the Brits, he then proceeded to post two timelines showing that indeed, the Russians were there first.
nice post :)
I have to level with you...byte for byte, that response to me has got to be the dumbest-ass response on FR to date....
Agreed, that is some serious narcoleptic writing.
Almost deserving of the The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest award.
*grumbling* me an my typos.
Of course, we could send some of the Ministry of Silly Explanation spouts in to see if they win:

No he is not conservative, he is not liberal, he is not a socialist, and he is not a traitor to the USofA.
I would have thought by now that all but the dimmest newbies would know what a libertarian is and what their opinions would be.
There is no need to argue with libertarians. All one needs to do is understand where they come from and agree or disagree.
Why should a guy who believes in the least amount of government necessary all of a sudden change his mind to support a bloated military just because somehow a bloated military appeals to the majority of Freepers?
I am not a libertarian and I have serious disagreements with Ron Paul and his supporters.
But they are not silly or loony or traitors. They are merely restating valid opinions that have been stated throughout hundreds, if not thousands, of years of recorded history.
It makes more sense to say something like this:
Arguing with someone who believes that the outcome of the Iraq war is so important as to trump all other considerations, is like ...
Such a position is by definition lunatic. And yet it seems to be the position of the majority of Freepers.
If you understand the basic principles of libertarianism, and you follow those to their logical conclusions you will end up deducing most, if not all, of the Ron Paul platform. If you disagree with where Ron Paul ends up, it is most likely because you disagree with the starting principles, which is a valid point of contention.
However, there is no political philosophy, theology, or system of rational thought ever devised that places the result of the Iraq war above all other considerations.
And yet that is what most Freepers do.
Some people need to look in the mirror.
Bad news is they may see Bob.
“the outcome of the Iraq war is so important as to trump all other considerations, is like ...
Such a position is by definition lunatic.”
“If you disagree with where Ron Paul ends up, it is most likely because you disagree with the starting principles, which is a valid point of contention.”
The only point of contention here is that of self preservation. Of all ideological positions, self preservation is farther from lunatic than any other, absolutely.
Ron Paul is an incompetent nut because he is unable to recognize the need for self defense.
Paul would be doing better I think if he would hold a press conference like Romney did and explain that he would not let the nation’s defenses be dismantled. He gives the impression that he would not defend the country against foreign invasion, and that cannot be true if he is the constitutionalist that he contends.
That was awesome....
Tom Cruise he cant cure postpartum depression, drug addiction and mental illness.
Welcome.
(I am a fountain of bad ideas..)
You are also, if I understand things, a good friend of Miss Slppy’s and mine....
Yes.
Though I work third shift now, and tend to have to post ‘when I can’.
Ah, yes. The old "if you're not in favor of a federal law against something, then you must be in favor of people doing it". Nice.
