I am not going to hijack Free Soviets' thread (The Ron Paul Reactionary Retard Report (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=547118)) with my dilemma. I'm nice like that. I'm going to make my own thread.

You see, it was on the first page that we had this come up and I feel that it isn't nice to hijack someone else's thread for your personal agenda. So, I'm making my own.

This is a little problem we need to solve.

What is a good name for those Ron Paul fanboys that seem to be like swarms of locusts taking the internet by storm?

I personally thought "Rontard" was a good one.

Paultards

Paulbots

But then I saw these and I became torn.

So, NSG, let's put it to a vote. I mean, who here is sick of seeing "Ron Paul 2008" posted everywhere? It was fine at first now it's just out of hand. I can no longer enjoy digg! :(

Note: this is meant in jest.

dont know, but one criterion is that it must sound ok when used in conjunction with 'glibertarian'

I don't know why but that made me laugh. :) I like that... it should be part of the criterion.

I need it to fit "Oh, you mean the batshit racist that wouldn't know a libertarian if it bit him on the aft end, and his loyal You-Tube based swarm of ______?"

That's why I'm partial to paulbot. It describes them for what they are, a mindless drone.

If I hear one more idiot talking about the Revolution...

Vote "Rontards" '08 :p

I think that's the best one

Seriously, 1776 was 200+ years ago.

His belief that "Since it was a non-existant Federal Government in the beginning that must be the correct way!"

What him and his kiss-ups don't realize that back then it took days to go from State to State, the country was too divided by distance to be more than a Confederation, but we don't live in a time where there is a problem like that now.

That's a reason why a confederation isn't necessary, but it's not a reason why a confederation isn't a good idea.

edit: Oh, and I voted Rontard.

I prefer to refer to them as The Paulitburo.

I need it to fit "Oh, you mean the batshit racist that wouldn't know a libertarian if it bit him on the aft end, and his loyal You-Tube based swarm of ______?"

the very same.

Ronbots is another decent term.

the very same.

but plural

You're just upset because you can't organize shit like he can.

We're talking about his supporters, not him.

Paultomatons?

You're just upset because you can't organize shit like he can.

You're just upset because you can't organize shit like he can.
Organized Shit is still shit.

Thank you for contributing to the collapse of America.

Honestly what's so appealing about ol Paulie, he's a whackjob.

I'll be perfectly honest, I do agree with some of Ron Paul's positions and I think his international policies are desperately needed to repair the mess made by the Decider and his cronies (not to mention Democratic warmongers like Hillary Clinton), but some of his stuff is just out there.

Returning to the gold standard? Seriously, there was a reason we abandoned it. It just didn't work and works even less now, if you consider that a knowledge economy has far fewer ties to material production, making a monetary system based on a material rather impractical...the kind of industrial economy for which a metal standard was suited just doesn't exist anymore. We need a way to expand the money supply indefinitely in order to accommodate the effectively unlimited growth of ideas (obviously, there are still constraints in the application side of ideas, but falling resource intensity and technology itself help stretch out this limit considerably).

I would like to suspect that all the Rontards are in fact the same person, hence why they can't get laid

Thank you for contributing to the collapse of America.

are you Ron Paul by any chance :confused:

also death to America *gets third degree freedom burns from dancing on burning flag*

I'll be perfectly honest, I do agree with some of Ron Paul's positions and I think his international policies are desperately needed to repair the mess made by the Decider and his cronies

you mean pulling out of NATO and the UN

I bet he just wants to sell iron to the Italians!

Seriously, there was a reason we abandoned it.

Yes, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with its workability (is that even a word?).

Ronbots is another decent term.

Paultomatons?

Those are also very good. I like... Backwoods, yours made me giggle.

Thank you for contributing to the collapse of America.

:rolleyes: And exactly how is it?

Yes, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with its workability (is that even a word?).

When in doubt, consult your local online dictionary...

:) It looks legit...

Peace, security, a strong economy, liberty - What's not to like?

Yes, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with its workability (is that even a word?).

Well, the initial reason had to do with the Depression, but once the Depression ended it was pretty clear in retrospect that the system didn't work (and then, for some reason, we moved on to Bretton-Woods rather than floating exchange rates).

I prefer to refer to them as The Paulitburo.

SIGWORTHY!!!

You're just upset because you can't organize shit like he can.
So hypothetically if me and some neo-Nazi buddies get real organized in our beating up of blacks, it's still good because it's well organized.

Also, I have to disagree with you, most ronbots can't even vote and aren't even registered with the GOP, the whole WoW spamming and the like all over the net turns people away from the fanaticism of the bots.

I think it should be renamed the Holy Church of Paulism.

Peace, security, a strong economy, liberty - What's not to like?

The fact that he appeals to people like you, for starters.

You're just upset because you can't organize shit like he can.

How would you organise it? By colour? Texture? Odour?

Peace, security, a strong economy, liberty - What's not to like?

Stance on The Civil Rights Act (yeah that alone was enough to turn me away from and I'm far from a Liberal), Voting Rights Act, his naivety on environmental matters (global warming not serious, leaving individual states to decide enviromental policy) and education. Do I need to go on?

Also, does the guy really think that even a fraction of his ideas are going to get through Congress? No, he would need a congress made up entirely of his rabid internet supporters just to pass some of what he's proposing. I really don't want to vote for 4 years of constant gridlock, which is exactly what will happen if he by some miracle becomes President.

Ron Paul - White Pride World Wide

I love these "State Rights" supporters.

You know the orginal reason why the right wing began quoting it was to get the racists and the bigots on their side.

"We will keep the Government out of the way, then you can pass your Jim Crow and Religious laws, arrest gays, whatever, we'll look the other way"

Peace, security, a strong economy, liberty - What's not to like?

Well, if you believe his policies will lead to that, I'd suggest you listen to my platform. I will rebuild America's economy with wizards...

Good that will play into my plan of having those aliens who show up in 2012 help us get rid of the national debt. You know since getting rid of taxes isn't going to do it.

I just heard a new one (I apologize if it is on a later page):

Ronulans

Peace, security, a strong economy, liberty - What's not to like?

Since when is opposing your right to privacy, freedom of religion, and equal protection under the law and actively working to deny you these rights pro-liberty?

What security is to be found in a candidate who has - more than once - proposed laws that would have immediately bankrupted any US citizen without holdings in other currencies? Also, how would that push a strong economy?

Since when is a person who backs armed militias bent on destroying the government someone who we can expect to bring peace?

I tried to think of a good Skynet analogy, but I'm lazy.

"What is a good name for those Ron Paul fanboys that seem to be like swarms of locusts taking the internet by storm?"

my suggestion

"The saviors of the United States"

Ron Paul 08' !

Someone get the bug spray, the locusts are here.

About as fast as Scientologists.

I don't actually mind Ron Paul. He is probably my preferred Republican candidate. Mind you, researching Republican Presidential Candidates is not one of my pastimes.

What about McRonald?

RP is like a melanoma, it's not that bad but it's still cancer.

Pity Dittoheads is taken. :(

08'

This is a sad reflection on the state of US education, since 08' would imply it being, for example 0820, rather than '08, which would be 2008.

don't worry guys, I'm making fun of Ron Paul here... you just can't see it because it's all in white.

i don't entirely get it either. just, a republican who's against a war that profits big bussinss and keeps it big. a libertarian republican. what a concept.

what? but isn't libertarianism what republicanism pretends to be? only maybe a little closer to more actually being it. or are libertarians just better poker players then the rest of us?

so i don't know. i just see him as being the least offencive, and just maybe redeaming, thing, from 'that side of the isle', which isn't mine.

but ok. that's fine with me.

i'm against putting economic interests ahead of the future survival of our own, and every other on the face of this planet, species.

so ron paul is a comforting thought, that even the republicans have at least one.

but that is as far as i feel confident to go about it.

=^^=
.../\...

How about Roncor, after the baying mindless beasts of Star Wars fame?

Or Paul-Bearer, because they're trying to hoist a dead campaign to legitimacy

Ron Paul supporters deserve to live in a country ran by Ron Paul.

Now that's cold.

Peace, security, a strong economy, liberty - What's not to like?
Peace: Mixed record. In terms of foreign military action he seems pretty consistently opposed, but in terms of domestic peace...

Security: For wealthy white male heterosexuals? Yes. For anybody else? Not so much.

Strong economy: He'd keep all the Bush tax cuts. Nuff said.

Liberty: For white male heterosexuals, yes. For women, say goodbye to your fundamental human rights. For non-whites, enjoy being deported. For gays, Ron Paul will let you stay in the US as long as you also stay in the closet. Oh, and fuck the unions, while we're at it.

Of course, all I ever needed to know about Ron Paul is that he believes in Bill O'Reilly's made-up "War On Christmas." Sorry, but I've just sat through eight years of a president who can't tie his own shoes unaided. I'm ready to see how a non-idiot handles the office.

I prefer to refer to them as The Paulitburo.

:D Oh, now I have beer in my nose. Ow!

"Paultomatons" and "Ronulans" are great too.

They've even infected my country NOOOO!!!! (http://belgians4paul.blogspot.com/)

Really, the rest of the internet should start spamming their message boards with interesting or funny things. Then they'll know how it feels :mad:

How about the truth? You know, links to stuff like the We the People Act. The mental gymnastics it inspires amongst them in quite impressive...in a sad, sad way.

I'm not sure what's worse, that people support him without knowing exactly how racist and idiotic he really is and what he stands for, or that people do know and still support him.

Yeah, but I think most of them already know his opinions on minorities, why would he be so popular with neonazi's otherwise? And most of their online activities consist of "debunking those myths" anyway, so I think they'll have a reply at hand. :rolleyes:
And the general population doesn't really needs to be informed either, he has like what, 4% in the last caucus? Ron is a political nobody only popular with minorities ('libertarians', racists, conspiracy-theorists, etc) but seems big because his minions infest the internet.

There were four paulbots standing at an intersection today waving Ron Paul '08 signs proudly. It took everything I had to resist stopping the car and actually asking "you do know what he stands for right?"

'Course, I was more afraid of what the answer might've been...

There will always be stupid, evil or naive people, especially when it comes to politics. I find it sad too, and I'm not even faced with it every day, except on the internet.

Yeah, but that wasn't really serious, and the movie was mildly funny, if RP was elected it wouldn't be that funny.

The UK has exactly the same problem.
Brits 4 Ron Paul! Note our usage of a number in place of a word, showing that we are nothing more than a few Internet activists!...

The cult is really, really annoying.

Rontarded Paultrons?

MoRONs sound good also.

What's sad is if the conspiracy theorists knew what the guy belived most wouldn't support him either. (I've put it to the test, it works.)

I resent the title of this thread! I demand it be changed! This is offensive to my beliefs! It is demeaning! And Emo! And smells too strongly of Democrat! *goes on onto other "that's racist!"-shit rant*


To head off anyone who blows up at me because they think I'm serious: I'm not.

I'm going to invite an ass kicking from a certain fan base, but in addition to Paulitburo there's another disturbingly appropriate moniker that came up on reflecting how fanatical, unwavering and collective the RP supporters are:

Paul-eks.

Actually, it was just a coincidence that I happened to pick this title. I know you're not serious.

Rontards -- 50: 40.65%
Paulbots -- 42: 34.15%
Kryozerkia must be high... again -- 32: 26.02%

And the top three options that are being picked...

Nah, you see, just like with the aforementioned "Roncor," Daleks actually are dangerous, rather than just being an extremely annoying nuisance.

That and I wouldn't insult the mindless, slavering Rancor by comparing it with Ron Paul or his supporters...

What do I like about Ron Paul? His foreign policy, his strong pro-civil liberties stance, and his stance on illegal drugs.

Well, Daleks are only real dangerous when they're sitting comfortably in their combat chassis. Outside of it they're mostly harmless blobbies.

But they do have a collective groupthink with unquestioning obedience to their hierarchy and see every other lifeform as The Enemy.
