I'm still trying to figure out why I come here anymore.

You and me both, buddy. Bad habit that needs breaking, I suppose.

It was a productive place to collaborate back in 2012, but since?

 

[PaleoPaul]

I would love to see the Ron Paul of 1988 (yes, including his younger self) run against Trump this year. It would be the battle of the century.

At 2:56 mark, Alex says he respects Ron Paul's decision as a purist, but ultimately disagrees.

Godwin's Law. I win~!

"Godwin's Law" is one of the stupidest things to ever infect the Internet, and is used mostly to PC people into swallowing fascism.

Supporting Trump is anti-productive. If you are looking for a reason why the forums have lost productivity and become a divisive discohesive mess, look no further than your own mirror.

Second only to the trivial invocation of Hitler to try and intimidate people out of well-reasoned positions.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

I'm shocked he believes that. The guy builds gawdy casinos and next he's building death chambers? That's one hell of a jump, dontcha think?

Maybe I'm just not asleep. Before Hitler was elected Chancellor he was just a lowly corporal and a minor political activist. It's a much larger jump to think that an anti-communist political activist would start stuffing Jews into ovens than that a Casino mogul would do likewise to Muslims.

LMAO it's only "trivial" because you like the guy and don't want to believe it.

That tired refrain isn't effective anymore. For 70 years we've heard about how everyone the liberals don't like is going to kill six million jews. None of them have killed even one.

I could not have been clearer that I don't like the guy.

On that basis, I feel fully justified in calling you a fucking liar and an asshole.

If AJ were supporting Cruz, he could use that line. But supporting Trump isn't about being less of a purist than Ron Paul. It's about standing diametrically opposite agendas.

 

[kahless]

Awww, you think it can't get any worse. How cute.

I will not help that motherfucker build gas chambers and ovens. If you do want to, then let it be on your conscience.

I am trying to look at the bright side of this conversation. At least you moved on from telling people they are going to hell for supporting Trump.

And just who do you think is the 'liberal' in this conversation?

Didn't you just claim that Ron Paul ws less influential than a teenage girl?

Second Thessalonians chapter 2 doesn't really leave a whole lot of room for 'interpretation' on that score.

From what I've seen, the forums fell apart long ago. I've been scrolling through many of the older threads, and it's amazing at how active it was until a few members started down the path of divisiveness when some didn't agree with certain positions political campaigns and politicians took.

Donald Trump has very little to do with the forums losing productivity. If anything, the forums have remained active with users because of Donald Trump being in the race from what I can see.

People like him. People don't like him. But, people are here talking about him.

They're not just talking about him, a few trumpanzees are actively promoting.

It's not our fault if non-libertarian Donald Trump is going to create an environment that will end up being very helpful for libertarians...
