Saving America, One Gated Community At a Time

Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 9:35:52 am PDT

Paulville—a nice place to raise your kids, if you believe in the gold standard and the New World Order.

The goal of Paulville.org it to establish gated communities containing 100% Ron Paul supporters and or people that live by the ideals of freedom and liberty.

Oh wait, it has a temple, would the Paulians go for that?

31 chinesearithmetic  Fri, Apr 18, 2008 9:43:00am

With helium and KoolAid for all. One of the reasons I left the Quisling Democratic Party is its core belief that the dumbest Democrat is smarter than the smartest Republican. Ron Paul is my insurance against such sloppy thinking in kind.

The community would be privately held by the co-op to establish private property for the general community thus preserving the community is 100% freedom and liberty lovers.

That's good. Do people fall for that?

I'll say. Based on my own personal observations I figure that Ron Paul supporters fall into one of two general categories:

Pot farmers

Meth lab operators

It'll be interesting to see how the two interact, but I think the smart money will be on the meth lab operators- at least in the short run...

About 15 years ago there was an effort to start a project to build a floating libertarian city out in international waters. And my thought at the time was that it would last until Janet Reno showed up with an Iowa class battleship.

West Texas is a beautiful and wide-open space with cheap, arid land. As soon as the Paulians learn they have to drive 200 miles each way to Midland for groceries, they'll keep their efficiencies in Houston.

However no one is forced to consume these utilities and or pay for them, AKA people can be off grid on their share of land. This is in line with the ideals that you're free to live your life the way you want and not be forced to do or pay for other people's life styles you may not agree with.

The economics of such a plan doom it to failure.

Utopia : The term is sometimes used pejoratively, in reference to an unrealistic ideal that is impossible to achieve.

But if it's worth a try...good luck to 'em.....that's what freedom is all about.

re: #107 marwan's daughter

Ahh, Texas. Home of the Branch Davidians and Warren Jeffs' cult. Also the home of Alex Jones.

California has its share of crazies, but Texas is not that far behind.

Texas makes the news because MOST Texans are individualists and the MSM hates us. These nutbags are attracted to cheap land in isolated areas so they can hide their deviancy. I bet less than one or two percent of all Texans ever heard of the FLDS before the raid or the Branch Davidians before BATF launched their "surprise" warrant search which lead to the death of 81 men, women and children.

Hre: #94 The Other Les

About 15 years ago there was an effort to start a project to build a floating libertarian city out in international waters. And my thought at the time was that it would last until Janet Reno showed up with an Iowa class battleship.

Here we go: The Atlantis Project.

[Link: oceania.org...]

The Atlantis Project, which proposed the creation of a floating sea city named Oceania, began in February '93, receiving nationwide publicity from The Art Bell Show, Details Magazine, The Miami Herald, Boating Magazine, and worldwide publicity in Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong, England, and Belgium. The project ended due to lack of interest in April of 1994.

I have personally met some of the key close figures to Paul and I can personally vouch for his anarchist tendencies. You don't need to take my word on it though, you can read yourself...

I have been on active duty now since Jan, not having done that since 1988, and I can't help but get a little giddy that nearly everyone on base so far is not a raving moonbat. I live in Seattle, and for the most part, it could be it's own enclave for moonbats. It is quite refreshing that I can carry on a conversation with pretty much anyone and not appologize for not being a liberal socialist moonbat.

So.... I can understand why they may want to live in a gated community, but I think that it would more than likely protect the rest of us from them.

Now, if only we could get the kos kids to agree to the same thing... maybe throw a one way gate on either side of I-5 in SF and Seattle. Kind of like a liberal roach motel.

The idea of allowing "people who have actually READ the constitution" to decide for themselves is not only un-constitutional, it's stupid and a recipe for chaos.

Who is the decider, then? The judiciary? Yeah, that's a comforting thought. Congress? The President? It just keeps getting better, doesn't it....

I think the responsibility should lie with people who have actually READ the constitution.

Clearly- you haven't read the Constitution. Try Article III, Section 2.

re: #213 medaura18586

If you haven't heard anyone advocate the dissolution of the Union or anarchy, then you must not be sufficiently well-read on the ideas of the Paul-wing... They're not libertarians: they're anarchists. So all that talk about "restoring the constitution" from an "anarcho-capitalist" quack is mighty ironic, given that he doesn't believe there ought to be a United States of America, with a constitution or not... I have personally met some of the key close figures to Paul and I can personally vouch for his anarchist tendencies. You don't need to take my word on it though, you can read yourself...

I couldn't care less if they cling to guns in their inbred-villes and try to play revolutionaries... yeah, keeping out the rest of the world... like anyone would want to get in anyway..

I wasn't refering to the entire body of thought in the Ron Paul movement, just the point of discussion today, namely the idea of private communities. It's easy and, IMO, a cheap shot, to impugn the intelligence and mental stability of your ideological opposites rather than argue the superior merits of your ideas.

re: #217 Ringo the Gringo

If you have read the the US Constitution, then you would know that the job of determining the constitutionality of our laws is explicitly given to the 3rd branch of government, the US Supreme Court.

If you didn't know that, then either you haven't read the Constitution or you didn't understand it.

The idea of allowing "people who have actually READ the constitution" to decide for themselves is not only un-constitutional, it's stupid and a recipe for chaos.

Try using your noggin.

You're more interested in name-calling than discussion. I didn't say the Supreme Court wasn't SUPPOSED to decide, just that they've been doing a supremely LOUSY job of it for quite a while.

Do you seriously believe that ALL current laws in this country are constitutional?

225 Sabnen  Fri, Apr 18, 2008 11:18:20am

By all means, go forth and create Paulaville or whatever. Utopian libertarianism. If your idea is so great, and in a few hundred years, brings forth prosperity, crime goes away, racial harmony blossoms, etc, etc . . . then we'll all say, "That was great! Show us the way!" But if it doesn't and withers away, then it looks like you'll have to come back and live in the 'Real World' again.

***

Twenty years ago, I voted for the Libertarian Party candidate, Ron Paul. I couldn't stand Bush Sr. as I knew he would raise taxes, even though I think he is an honorable man. I was voting for the principles espoused in that early iteration of Libertarianism.

Over the years I have come to see that a Libertarian candidate cannot win the Presidency with 1% of the vote. You can espouse and live Libertarian principles without "being" a Libertarian and losing every election. Paul recognized this himself and changed his affiliation to Republican.

However, there are three fundamental things you must internalize before you give your vote to Barack Obama in November by voting for Ron Paul.

1. Libertarians themselves cannot agree on the platform, especially since the infiltration of the Truther morons. The same thing happened to Ayn Rand and the Objectivists.

2. Ron Paul BLAMES THE USA FOR 9/11. Do that and you are the enemy of the Constitution as that makes you adhere to the enemy's propaganda effort.

3. Ron Paul is Anti-Zionist which means he is anti-Israel and probably anti-Jew. That makes him: a) a twit, b) side with our enemies; again.

The non-truther Libertarians believe in Individualism, Objectivism and the chance for prosperity above all else. The Paulians ain't it.

One more strike and you're OUT!

"Reality, the external world, exists independent of man's consciousness, independent of any observer's knowledge, beliefs, feelings, desires or fears. This means that A is A, that facts are facts, that things are what they are—and that the task of man's consciousness is to perceive reality, not to create or invent it." Thus Objectivism rejects any belief in the supernatural—and any claim that individuals or groups create their own reality.

You know what I meant. Don't quote me the essentials. I've read them myself. Belief in an objective reality independent of one's consciousness (or Rand's version of that assertion) is a necessary but not sufficient element of Objectivism.

Hey, stop making fun of what should be a great idea if only it included providing a beautiful Stepford wife for every guy and low cost lawn-maintainers! But, does it really have to be located in Texas? Can't it be located in a decent, livable state, somewhere north of Waco? Hope the gates aren't made of copper!

It's Emerald City! Complete with the poppy field you have to smoke cross to get there.
And pay no attention to the nutjob behind the curtain.

I've done my time in the "velvet underground" from which this type tends to hail. Like I said on HotAir, this kind of community has all kinds of nuts, both the harmless and harmful kind. Also, there are a lot of folks with some wacko hangups. And they will all be neighbors.

Bob the Otherwise Well-Adjusted Conspiracist and Landmine Collector will be neighbors with Ursula the Unmedicated and the bagpipes she absolutely sucks at playing. 24 hours at a stretch when she's on a "manic" phase.

Councils will get dominated by the most dominant personalities and their weirod agendas---just like governments, and the contrary-by-nature will rebel against this, too.

It won't last.

Well I do believe that if you don't like things you leave for someplace you've never gone before.

I found a reason to keep living - and you know the reason...it's you...and I've walked down life's lonely highways hand in hand with myself and I realize how many paths have crossed between us.

I do believe you are what you perceive - what comes is better than what came before.

Sort of like setting up a sanatorium and the inmates all voluntarily committing themselves? What you want to bet the place ends up looking like a ghetto in no time? And if you dare try to enforce any zoning laws, setback ordinances or deed restrictions expect as many explicatives as a casual conversation with a Kossack on the subject of President Bush and the Gulf War.

I think the idea of like-minded patriots forming their own communities is completely plausible. Can someone explain their problem(s) with it?

I dispute the use of the term "patriot" for isolationists.

As for problems...Google the phrase "Branch Davidians".

Do they have a Property Owner's Association? I refuse to live in any community with a POA.

299 infidelia  Fri, Apr 18, 2008 6:07:56pm

I used to hang out in a community like that back in the '70s. I think they called it the New York Libertarian Party. A gated community of that plus Ron Paulian "Troofers"? With what, tinfoil shingles on the roofs?

They gonna need them gates...

re: #239 csa945

Didn't they have these 40 years ago?

I think they were just called "communes" back then.

Communes were different. They involved much more macrame.

Science Fiction writer Robert Heinlein wrote a story about a set of self-segregated, walled-in communities for various cults.

The communities were called "coverntries" and it was a way to allow noodleheads of various tribes to prove or disprove their social theories.

Anarchists, fasciststs, racists, whatever -- formed their own coventries and let everyone else alone.

Then they went to war against each other...

"...gated communities..." vs "...freedom and liberty..."

Does anyone else see serious irony here? significant cognitive dissonance?

Hello, Ron Paulians? The chain (of 'gated communities') may be golden, but it enslaves the masters just as tightly as the slaves!

A 'gated community' is another form of enslavement, pick up on this!

303 Anna  Fri, Apr 18, 2008 7:19:52pm
The goal of Paulville.org it to establish gated communities containing 100% Ron Paul supporters and or people that live by the ideals of freedom and liberty.

Why am I reminded of a poster seen in the background of the movie Brazil: "Relax in a maximum security stress-free environment."

Life imitating art, bad art at that. What next, saran-wrap plastic surgery?

A "200 Motels" Zappa album reference, right,Charles?

I guess Moronville and Idiot Stick Stump have already been taken as city names?

A confiscation is in order. All his bong are belong to me!

You´re aware that by taking the weaponry of a fellow ganjahideen you also take his responsibility to keep those helicopters away?

Who is the decider, then?

Every single human on Earth (or otherwere) is a true Dalai Lama.

Welcome to the Hotel RonPaulornia, such a lovely place, such a lovely place
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the gate
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night guard
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!

Or maybe Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
nothing is all you have if your a Paulian
Freedom in my town means there is but one point of view
That's what I hear from the master Ron P
Drinking kool aid with my savoir Ron P

Being from Texas that is in the Middle of BFE...it's desert. I just wonder where they plan on getting water from...freaking morons!

Whose compound is more attractive? Jim Jone's Jones Town or Ron Pauls community? Or does it depend on which flavor of Cool Aid you prefer?
