HERE COMES THE LIBERTY!11!

What the GOP National Convention might look like this year..

And, as always, the answer to the question headline is: NO.

I'm just hoping for a gun fight between 2 people standing their ground.

I'm really baffled by the whole "Audit the Fed" movement. What exactly do they hope to discover?

That's odd. Usually the liberty gets off at the second floor.

Its a creation of small-media to keep people interested in a dead story. The big-media is doing the same thing with coverage of the general election.

theorellior: cman: WE WILL SAVE THIS WORLD AGAINST FLUORIDE, HAARP, CHEMTRAILS, VACCINES, AND LIZARD PEOPLE!!!111!!

NOT TO MENTION FIAT CURRENCY, THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION AND BLACK HELICOPTERS.

and the evil influence of e. e. cummings.

hopefully it will end like True Romance

Close2TheEdge: I'm really baffled by the whole "Audit the Fed" movement. What exactly do they hope to discover?

I think they're expecting to find Obama's Kenyan Birth Certificate.

FTFA: However, as far as the GOP is concerned, the immediate future belongs to Romney.

Great. Place your future in the hands of a man who will sell your country back to you.

What it will actually look like.

What the fark is a chemtrail. I'm just going to assume that it is something really stupid and that I don't want it in my search history.

Close2TheEdge: I'm really baffled by the whole "Audit the Fed" movement. What exactly do they hope to discover?

Considering that:

1. RON PAUL actually got a bill to the floor to do just that, but
2. RON PAUL then voted against the bill since it had riders he didn't like,

they are getting taken for a ride.

Oh, they'll say it's because he's "principled." He's so principled that he will attach earmarks to a bill to fund pork projects in his district...but he'll vote against the bill they're in. Of course, he attached those earmarks to bills that were assured of passage.

Funny that he'll use the system to make him look good in his district, but won't use the system to get something that's supposedly vital to the survival of our republic.

And he's for Freedom of Speech, but wants states to be able to limit it as they see fit. He claims there's no "right to privacy," since those words don't appear in the Constitution, even as he references the Ninth Amendment ("The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people") and claims that the same document is "replete with references to God," when it actually doesn't have a single such reference.

Typical snake-oil salesman, and they're guzzling that shiat down.

Interestingly, I believe Ron Paul's list of demands would also have naked pictures of Bea Arthur and football helmets filled with cottage cheese on it.

They should hijack it.

The lulz would be...fapworthy.

The MN regional convention got hijacked and the state one this weekend will be too, somehow my son is involved with all of this and will do his best to hijack the state convention (and he and his kids are on Medicare). Just don't understand it.

rufus-t-firefly: And he's for Freedom of Speech, but wants states to be able to limit it as they see fit.

He also has a history of suing youtube videos for trademark infringement because he thinks it's illegal for people to say the word "Ron Paul" without Ron Paul's permission.

Wait, am I getting sued now?

Contrails

Contrails (play /ˈkɒntreɪlz/; short for "condensation trails") or vapour trails are long thin artificial clouds that sometimes form behind aircraft. Their formation is most often triggered by the water vapour in the exhaust of aircraft engines, but can also be triggered by the changes in air pressure in wingtip vortices or in the air over the entire wing surface. Like all clouds, contrails are made of water, in the form of a suspension of billions of liquid droplets or ice crystals.

Oh, wait, you didn't want the real-world answer. You want the whackjob version..

Chemtrail Conspiracy Theory

The chemtrail conspiracy theory holds that some trails left by aircraft are actually chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed at high altitudes for purposes undisclosed to the general public in clandestine programs directed by government officials. This theory is not accepted by the scientific community, which states that they are just normal contrails, and that there is no scientific evidence supporting the chemtrail theory.

As a result of the popularity of the conspiracy theory, official agencies have received thousands of complaints from people who have demanded an explanation. The existence of chemtrails has been repeatedly denied by scientists around the world, who say the trails are normal contrails. The United States Air Force states that the theory is a hoax which "has been investigated and refuted by many established and accredited universities, scientific organizations, and major media publications". The United Kingdom's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has stated that chemtrails are not scientifically recognized phenomena. The Canadian Leader of the Government in the House of Commons has rejected the idea of chemtrails as being a "popularised expression", adding that "there is no scientific evidence to support their existence."

The term chemtrail is derived from "chemical trail", in the similar fashion that contrail is a portmanteau of condensation trail. It does not refer to other forms of aerial spraying such as crop dusting, cloud seeding, skywriting, or aerial firefighting. The term specifically refers to aerial trails allegedly caused by the systematic high-altitude release of chemical substances not found in ordinary contrails, resulting in the appearance of characteristic sky tracks. Supporters of this conspiracy theory speculate that the purpose of the chemical release may be for solar radiation management, population control, weather control, or biological warfare/chemical warfare and claim that these trails are causing respiratory illnesses and other health problems.

Chemtrails are the white lines of clouds you see in the sky after a jet passes high above. It's water vapor condensing from jet exhaust. The Tinfoil Brigade has long believed that they're part of an evil gubmin' plot to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

They're just contrails (exhaust from high flying jets that look like lines of cloud). The chemtrail people think the government is using them to spray [INSERT_CHEMICAL_HERE] to cause [INSERT_EFFECT_HERE] in everybody.

More like this:

Funny, Cuz I was at a "stop the war in Iraq" rally in 2004 and overheard hard-core lefties all one-upping each other on their knowledge of (and the suffering to their lives caused by) chemtrails.

What exactly is unethical about it?

A primary is not an election. It's an internal matter of a political party. And the Republican party's primary clearly isn't democratic in either function or intent so why not game the system?

But legal drugs man, that sounds so groovy.

Does Ron Paul realize that he's been trolled by 4chan into thinking he has millions of supporters? Or is he too delusional to figure that out?

While I think RON PAUL is a crazy old man I wish him the best of luck in causing havoc at the RNC

No, it's all the caucuses and non binding votes and delegates that are 'hijackable' at all.

Paul seems genuinely unpopular outside his fanclub.

For a wide variety of legitimate reasons.

Just wait until the feds legalize them...then states ban them.

That's how things would work under the RON PAUL Articles of Confederation II.

Could Ron Paul really have an impact on the GOP convention?

Yes, like a bug hitting the windshield.

Were I absurdly wealthy I'd set up a free bannana-cream pie stand in the middle of the convention hall in hopes of recreating the final minutes of Blazing Saddles.

What you need to pay attention to is the number of state party delegates they elect. They got the Alaska GOP chair for themselves and will flood the National delegate elections after the presidential elections. They are more strategic than the Tea Party, which is only focused on Congress and the black guy in the White House

Tiny American flags for some, tiny spraybottles full of vinegar to fight chemtrails for others.

I think the biggest one was at the republican debate when he suggested that the terrorism problem was more complicated than "They hate us for our freedom" and he was booed off the stage.

THIS

Whenever I read about Dr Paultard or some other wingnut coming out with shiat like that I know straight away that they are cowardly shirt lifters who think their cool with there book readin and other such poll smoking pursuits.

Real Mericans don't need all the crazy, just let our boys loose in Iran and they'll free them from the terrists. Unlike Congressman Pussy from Texas, both Mitt and Barack are staunch behind the military.

If my time in the core taught me anything, its that Charlie dont surf.

I think that example is indicative of a number of things wrong with the entire Republican party... I was thinking more of his long time relationship with some key members of PNAC or perhaps the fact that he is only a member of the Republican party because libertarians don't even get a laughable portion of the vote. It's like shooting fish in a barrel when it comes to reasons not to vote for Ron Paul. In many cases I think some people are Ron Paul supporters because it's "edgy" to them. *shrug*

I don't mean to pick on the Republicans specifically but the primary/caucus process not being truly democratic (note the little d) is a pretty farked thing if you ask me.

Might as well make the thing interesting.

Crotchrocket Slim: I don't mean to pick on the Republicans specifically but the primary/caucus process not being truly democratic

Hey! But they are publicly funded! At least only for the Dems and the Repubs. So they've got that going for them.

cc_rider: theorellior: Oh, let's hope we can get some chemtrail nutters in here. That's always a laugh riot.

Look for the oily, rainbow-colored contrails!

I beg your pardon, but those rainbow chemtrails caused by HAARP are no laughing matter.

I would just like to advise everyone to watch that clip. That is so funny that it can't be real. It seems so real though.

This and that, but the vast majority want to find, muckrake, and ultimately end what they believe to be an impossibly huge amount of corruption and fraud that causes all inflation and somehow, they're unclear how, is the reason they personally aren't rich. In the process it is assumed this will end the federal reserve system entirely, bringing us back to the days of "wildcat" banks, barter, ecnomic chaos, and (somehow) gold-backed currency that will make them and their 1 or 2 ounces of gold the new paramount super-rich of the glorious Randian utopia.

The fact that the federal reserve DOES get audited on a regular basis is completely lost on them.

TheBigJerk: the vast majority want to find, muckrake, and ultimately end what they believe to be an impossibly huge amount of corruption and fraud that causes all inflation and somehow, they're unclear how, is the reason they personally aren't rich.

I get a huge kick out of this accusation. What inflation? Almost all of my personal debt is non-revolving, and I'd love for some inflation to come along and effectively shrink my debts a bit for me. But it ain't happening.

Paultards fear inflation the same way Christians fear Sharia Law and the the Tea Party keeps talking about FEMA Death Camps.
