Rep. Ron Pauls defense of Irans nuclear weapons program should surprise no one. The same resentment motivates Ron Paul and the Iranian leadership a paranoid hostility toward a world that is swiftly changing and has little mercy, and a Millenarian desire to return to a mythical, untroubled past. Get rid of the Federal Reserve, scourge the bankers, return to a gold standard and erect a wall around the United States and we will return to when? To 1957, when the Russians launched the first space satellite, alerting the United States to the danger that it might lose the Cold War? Then, as always, we prevailed, but by the skin of our teeth. Ron Pauls program is an American version of the Iranian desire to return to a world of Islamic purity that never existed, any more than did a golden age of American isolationism.

Wave bye bye to KalGal here.
There are now six of us in this round of the buck a PaulBot Zot pledge, bringing this month's FReepathon pledge to a combined total of $6 so far.
Oops, I just sent in $12 for my Ronulanzotfest pledge, so next month I’ll add $2 to the total.
Now, on to celebrate KalGal's demise with a little fun and music...
BTW, I posted mine on the Freepathon thread, indicating it was for the Paulbot ZOT pledge. That was last week. But, whatever way is decided on is fine by me.
That works for me. It didn’t formally get decided on, but the donors generally posted their pledges individually on the FReepathon thread as part of the PaulBot Zot group. Satchmo zot...LOL!
I just happened to be humming that song the other night (Sleepy Time Down South) and it hit me when I got to the end. Got up the next morning and added it to my Zot post.
Youll find both of them on this thread. If you need a good laugh today, one of the PaulBots begged admin mod to ban him, and had a very special request as to where he wanted to be sent. These PaulBots are into some pretty kinky things, my goodness!
Wave bye bye to bobbyw24 here
And wave bye bye to his super freaky little friend, flyfire here. (The replies back to flyfire are not to be missed)
This gives us 3 PaulBot Zots so far. At $3 per each of us, the combined total donation for this months FReepathon pledge is currently $18.
We've only had three PaulBot Zots for the month of February, and none since February 12th.
At this time, unless any of you object, I move to suspend our PaulBot Zot Team and get our pledges into this quarter's FReepathon before it closes.
Our February pledge currently only amounts to $3 each (unless you joined those of us who decided to kick in an extra buck for PaulBot flyfire for the bonus entertainment value of the replies to his zotting.)
I'm also going to propose that we each consider tossing in an extra buck or two to round our individual pledges up to $5. Of course, any donation at all helps keep the lights on, and whatever amount you donate will be appreciated.
As per last month, it worked well just to have each of us post our individual PaulBot Zot donations on the FReepathon thread.
Thanks to all of you for helping to make it fun to rid FR of a lot of its PaulBot infestation, and for sending the rest of them scurrying underground like cockroaches!
Rounding mine up to $5.
Next FReepathon, same game?
I'm in for another game for the next FReepathon. By then, I'm betting a lot of the quieter (smarter) PaulBots will be emboldened all over again and come out of hiding. :-)
My brain just melted trying to process the idea of a smart PaulBot ....
OK, $5 it is for this month. Will do it now.
Sorry for being late to the party. Major Internet access problems here yesterday. Never got up-and-running consistently until 5 PM or so. And by then it was dinner/leisure time with my lovely wife. (And, watch NCIS I might add...)
Just donated $10 in honor of the PaulBot Zot ping list. It’s been a fun time.

HAha. You’ve definitely got a point there! I don’t think anything will ever top the one that begged the moderator to ban him to, well, you know.
Good job!
We’ll give you a ping at the start of next quarter’s FReepathon when we start a new game of buck-a-zot.
