    What do you think happens at meet-ups and canvassing. At least it stops you since you would have to cross the border and worry about ICE. Ultimately your trolling would be limited to the non-supporter forum.

    I know what happens at meetups and during canvassing. It doesn't involve handing out super secret passwords to everyone who wanders by.

    How is it authoritarian in a grass roots organizing forum for political candidates that designated organizers approve accounts to confirm they are real activists rather someone sitting in a think tank somewhere or overseas.

    This much is obvious and your opposition to it for a very public political candidates shows you are not who you say you are here.
    I find it very strange that someone who is not a supporter wants to judge others as being insufficiently supportive.

    But he is a supporter!

    Unless someone's pissing him off by complaining about how much he sucks the other candidate's dick. Then he's a victim.

    I guess he's not coordinated enough to be a supporter and a victim at the same time. I wonder if he can walk and chew gum?

    People need weapons to keep our government from taking away our rights. I think our government should not be able to keep or bear any arms we are not allowed to keep or bear. (If one person can't have them, then a group of people can't have them and officials with fine hats can't have them.) Since government can't constitutionally restrict the scope of arms we can keep and bear, I think it's up to the people to agree not to keep or bear weapons of mass indiscriminate damage, or even infantry weapons - and then hold our government to those standards or revolt if it refuses to agree.

    Am I out of touch? Is there legislation saying that government may restrict our arms, and that groups of people approved by those restricting our arms may ignore those restrictions? I am still learning, developing my opinions and convictions.

    There surely is such legislation, and more on the way.

    Are you out of touch? Probably. Does your idea have merit? Definitely! But take heart. Maybe your Official State Rand Paul Campaign Coordinator will let you have a nuclear-tipped ICBM or two.

    Failing that, yes, I'm all for restricting weapons of mass destruction to the garbage heap of history. But like the gun control nuts, I am at a loss how to eliminate the thousands that already exist. I am certain, however, that restricting them to the generals and politicians--the most psychotic elements in our society--was not such a grand plan.

    Which is, of course, where gun control nuts go astray. They actually think they can get a genie back in the bottle.

    And there's the rub. Where do you draw the line between 'ordinary weapons' and 'different'? Some say single-shot muzzleloaders. Some say full auto. Some say tanks and artillery. Not many, but some.

    No matter where you draw the line, everything above that line is something your friendly government, which loves you and wants you to be happy, is going to stockpile.

    Seems like other than extreme right wing of Israel Firster zionists/pro Syria intervention neocons camp, there is little genuine and sincere support left for Trump from his allies? Good part of GOP base still sees him as the "lesser evil" having stung by Obama but for for how long he will be able to keep "holding their noses" conservatives' support if he returned to his Schumer roots as some are predicting?

    I am just trying to piss him off by complaining since when I asked if I could suck Gunny's dick in 7/2015 he ignored me while he was taking offence that Kahless said Trump would be his second choice. I then felt victimized.

    This is when I started launching my coordinated attacks, have been obsessed with him ever since and I still feel like a victim at the same time. I wonder if I can think rationally about my mental illness and chew gum?

    Still a chance nothing comes from it just allot of talk. With Ivanka in his ear and his statements on guns going back to the 90s it is a cause of concern.

    If I don't think society should have something, I am definitely not going to let my government have it. And if the government already has it, society needs a way of protecting itself against that government. I don't have an answer as to how. Private sector free market solution to countering/stopping nuclear weapons?

    I never denied that and you are simply making $#@! up to fit your narrative of me being some big Trump supporter here.

    When all it was is evaluating policy both good and bad related to Trump in the 2016 Campaign Forum and that he would be my second choice.

    So far, government is succeeding in convincing most people that we don't need protection from it, and do need protection from each other. Is it insanity--or, at least, a state of denial? Or is it just media engineered ignorance?

    The government can't achieve the tyranny it seeks without tipping its hand. The question is, will society protect itself from its government? History does not make me hopeful.

    Trump wants to be the guy that passes gun control. This is something he truly believes in, plus if he passes gun control he will be succeeding where his predecessors failed, which is also very important to him. This is entirely the scariest part about Trumps pysche, he truly wants to be different, he truly thinks that the neocons just didn't know how to win, he truly thinks the previous presidents failed at gun control because they didn't perform well enough. Trump is not going to give up on this, just like he didn't give up on making sure Rand Paul wasn't the nominee.

    There are times I've felt like a hostage to the good names of Ron and Rand Paul. I think if this is to be nothing but a playground for partisans and Trumpbots, the Pauls' good name should be taken off the place. Maybe Judge Nap didn't think twice about racists sullying Ron Paul by association. And maybe Bryan doesn't either. But it bothers me.

    Liberty Forest? Sure, let that be a place for partisan divide and conquer bull$#@!. But keeping the Doctors Paul on the masthead as the place is allowed--nay, with somewhat liberal but very responsible people banned at the behest of Bolton spammers, encouraged--to go to weed and seed is just disgusting. I mean, 'a Muslim ban is libertarian'? Collectivist libertarianism? $#@!ing seriously?

    No wonder lurking seldom puts me in a good mood any more.

    Take the Paul name off the masthead. Clean it up or disassociate their good names from it. Seriously.
