This one will be fun. Hello Folks!

yikes!

Good idea, keep them all in once place and maybe they will quit bothering the rest of us.

So, do all cults have to be in Texas?

Don't pure libertarians have to live in gated communities of one?

Boy, the print on that article is teensy weensy? Can anyone read it?

as long as they stay inside the gates though, im cool with!

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 yeah, THAT'S going to work REAL well!

Why do they have to do this in my state?

I think that they'd be much happier in California.

re: #6 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

It looked fine to me.

Typed "this will be fun" thinking would be about the Might Reverend Wright. Think it'll be more fun now!

This is great. Let them put up the gate and we can lock it from the outside.

No. Obama's cult is strong in parts of Chicago.

They're just making it easier for themselves to meet other Paulians since they're so few and far between. Apparently their internet social connections just weren't cutting it for them anymore.

I predict a housing crises after a year.

re: #9 The Pulchritudinous Patriot

Do you have the faintest idea how little I like that thought?

We keep seeing cars with their entire back windows covered in a Ron Paul window-stat. And none of the drivers are competent!

Hey, I've got it! The houses are just basements.

What , You mean there are sufficient Paulians to make more than one such community ?
Move over , Hillary and Obama !

Dibs on the Kool-Aid consession.

And the cyanide.

Didn't we used to have communities like this? And they had attendants in white coats, I believe.

Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has a compound available near San Angelo, Texas right now! Move in condition! Must see!

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

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.

cults w/ compounds are so popular. everybody wants one.

re: #16 Dianna

Somehow, I have a feeling there will be more than the usual community squabbles.

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...

It's going to be a Libertarian Commune?

Do the paulians know how freakin HOT it is in West Texas?

"I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business." - Ron Paul

Ironic that isolationists would need to turn to others to bring their dreams to fruition.

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.

Isn't their something very un-classically liberal in prohibiting those who have different beliefs from living in your neighborhood?

Just askin'

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.

The historical tendency is for those communities to end up being filled with the worst parts of human nature. Politics, pecking orders, and paranoia.

Isn't there some kind of investigation going on in one of those "gated communities" down in Texas right now? You know, the ones where all the paulians women wear the same dress?

How was that an insult to YOU?

First of all, calling anarchists with wet dreams of dissolving the Union "patriots" is a bit of an overly liberal use of the word...

I didn't hear anyone advocate the dissolution of the Union or anarchy. They're just suggesting they might like to live together (so to speak).

BTW, you can be sure they would be *clinging to their guns*, too.

pejoratives and insults!

re: #147 varmint

there's been a plan going around for years. all libertarians should retire to one small town, and try to take it over. enough of them together might elect a dogcatcher.

Think bigger. As I recall, all the libertarians were going to move to one state (I think Idaho was chosen as most likely) and take over the state government through demographics. When push came to shove, there just weren't that many libertarians willing to relocate for the cause.

Sort of like a sub-division Ft. Knox without the US military guarding it?

Yoo-hooo! EVERYONE! WE are a community that believes in the GOLD standard! Out in the middle of NOWHERE!

re: #209 Luap Nor

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..

re: #207 Luap Nor

Based on the fact that there is no:

I shall take my ball and go home amendment

nor a:

Fuck it, I quit! clause

in the Constitution.

This road leads to balkanization and anarchy. And then we are no better than mall ninjas.

Work within the system to bring about change to the system. Persuade the open-minded, and outnumber the wrong.
And expect a long fight.

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.

*Admin note for Charles.... How come MOONBAT is not in the spelling dictionary fro the spellcheck?

re: #207 Luap Nor

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.

re: #188 cygnus

[Blank, bland voice] Happy communing!

re: #189 Luap Nor

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.

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: #152 Sharmuta

Yes, but what's funny is this is a commune of isolationists. The irony is lost on them.

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?

re: #223 Luap Nor

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

I think the real question is: do ron paul supporters believe in the Constitutional process?

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.

Everyone loves a dreamer, but sometimes you gotta work with what's there. Good Luck.

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

Of course not.

Who does?

Ok- I'll be more direct. Do you believe in the Constitutional process? That laws go through a process, challenging them to pass Constitutional muster? We are either a nation that abides by the rule of law or we are anarchist.

Perhaps they should all live behind a tall fence somewhere.

re: #163 Luap Nor

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

***

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.

Yes, I believe in the Constitutional process. I am not defending the Paulian philosophy here, just asking for genuine thoughtful criticism as opposed to childish, albeit humorous, name-calling.

I did not whine. I merely pointed out the content of some rebuttals, and my comments were not directed at anyone in particular, unlike some of the allegations tossed my way.

Didn't they have these 40 years ago?

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

Not to be supporting poster Laup Nor, because I'm not, but don't we already have a number of communities like this already in America? Is the Constitution respected in Berkeley? In San Francisco, Ann Arbor, Madison, Cambridge? They may not have gates, but they do have ways of keeping people of differing viewpoints out, or at least intimidated into silence.

BTW, isn't Laup Nor the place where the ChiComs used to test their nuclear weapons?

First, don't assume - because I think the idea of *them* living in planned communities is plausible - that I agree with them politically or support their candidate. I do not, on either count.

Second, 16 years ago, I voted for Ross Perot. Since then, his ideas have have grown as odd as his behavior, and the *leadership* of his organization is completely socialist in the name of populism.

1. You registered two days ago under our derisive name for Ron Paul. You are going to have to prove yourself as a non-advocate of Paulianism if you defend Paulians. We get many types of troublemakers here.

2. My post was directed at both posters, Ron Paul and Luap Nor.

3. I was responding to your interrogative of "what's wrong with it. [the Paulian gated community]. To do so, I gave you the reason why I and perhaps many Lizards have come to despise and hence ridicule the Paulian movement.

Yes, I know. Don't assume I haven't been here far longer, or that the irony of my nic is lost on me.

My "defense" of Paulians extends only to their right to form gated communities if they wish. I sure as hell wouldn't be moving there. I have no desire to make trouble, just conversation.

re: #165 Luap Nor

Sorry, but when you make comments like this, you leave the impression that you think citizens somehow have the right to decide for themselves which laws they feel are Constitutional and which ones are not, and therefore can pick and choose which laws they'll obey.

Well, last time I left my hermitage and talked to a Libertarian, he believed that an objective reality existed outside of his consciousness. It is to that I refer. Maybe the Truthers have injected the "reality is what I believe it is" into Libertarianism by now. Being a caveman, I wouldn't know for sure.

re: #257 Luap Nor

No one is questioning their RIGHT to form gated communities... Just as they have a right to do it (provided they don't break any laws in there), we have the right to make fun of them for this idiotic idea.

I don't think you are trying to make trouble. I take you at your word on the conversation. Of course they have a right to form their community.

And we have the right to make fun of them for the reasons I cited. Stick around and you'll see why. ;)

This picture may explain why most LGFers have a distaste for Ron Paul.

Objectivism is not synonymous with believing in an objective reality, however. Objectivity is the word, if I'm not mistaken again.

If they do form Paulian Palisades, I call dibs on:

The ammo store franchise
The tin-foil and hard-tack concession
The barbed-wire boutique

And the blow-up doll kiosk, because there just ain't gonna be too many women that will put up with living in West Texas with a bunch of pseudo-anarchists on unemployment.

Objectivism is not synonymous with believing in an objective reality, however. Objectivity is the word, if I'm not mistaken again.

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.

hey hey now,...

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.

Not everyone who doesn't believe the world is all in their head is by default an Objectivist.
