These are the hard LEFT, socialists and that is what THEY use.

I have noted too many of these on signs at other RON PAUL rallies and wonder if you all know what it stands for?

OK if you are a supporter of communism and Che Guevara and Obama, but not someone who believes in freedom and liberty like Ron Paul.

It can have connotations that we don't want, but if we didn't use any symbol with bad connotations we would use none.

Ron Paul should never have used the word MANIFESTO either!!! :rolleyes:

No - f--K them.. they stole the word Liberal. So we're gonna steal Manifesto.

The fist connotates revolution.. they used it first; sure.. so what, we're gonna use it last, because when we're fken done with it - it won't ever be used for the cause of collectivism ever again.

Btw - anyone ever notice, there's only ever one fist? An Individual fist? ;)

Real bad. These liberals might bring new ideas of freedom... like reproductive freedom, like religious freedom, and free thinking.

We most certainly don't want that.

Why don't we chop off our hands and just raise stubs? Would that be better?

You're right, Kade. Those Ron Paul supporters are just a bunch of backwards hicks. Liberals like yourself know what's best for this movement. Obama 08!!!

But you will drive away a good many of the traditional conservatives, who associate that clenched fist with Marxism/Communism.

Perhaps we should choose a different symbol that does not have so much baggage attached to it.

Perhaps you forgot the higher taxes, increased spending and bigger government that the liberals seem to want. Note: These liberals are now on BOTH sides of the aisle.

You mean conservatives are calling themselves liberals, or liberals are calling themselves conservatives? Or do you mean Liberals are Conservatives are Liberals?!
I don't understand.

I say we just mock liberals openly, until they leave the country.

I'm on your side! I think we should put all these liberals in camps, or send them to Europe!

I'd be happy if they stopped trying to co-opt the "revolution" in order to push their big government agenda.

I've got a solution...

[Redacted by Moderator]

I can't see images from work, brownfinger.

You know what else bothers me about Liberals? This freedom of thought and religion nonsense... if we had that sort of stuff, we would probably have more liberals in the first place, which is something we really don't want... how can we use the free market to destroy liberals?

Liberals don't share our principles. I really think we should show them what's coming to them, and use our Conservative Principles to arrest them and send them to a country where the police force is so minimal, they can't send them back!

Again, can't see the pictures. You'll have to describe it to me.

If it's liberal, I suggest you don't post it. That stuff is seriously tainting everything around here...

Yea, you liberals are tainting everything around here.

By the way, why doesn't your employer trust you with images? Did you get caught looking at porn at work?

Yeah, I know. The labels are all screwed up. When I said "conservative", I was talking about the traditional conservatives. The ones who believe in:


Limited Constitutional government
Fiscally-responsible government
Strong national defense
Personal responsibility
Person privacy
Individual Liberty

Those principles are not limited to a particular political party.

We don't want their economic communist views either. You seem to love civil liberty yet also economic enslavement.

It's actually not the images, so much where they are hosted. Surely you have some tech savvy in you... you can't block "images" only.

I'd rather not discuss my place of employment with some of you whackos.

Shouldn't we let them express their views, and let their ideas play out in the free market of ideas? Perhaps we shouldn't have prejudicial blanketed views on "liberals." Your statements are not very conservative.
